  I would think that’d be pretty tough!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are cassette and CD players so bulky now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  TL;DW: because they all use the only mechanism that is still in production. It’s not a good as the top of the line from 2000, but it’s way cheaper than rolling your own from scratch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where the magic happens owo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you, they sound really specialized!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where the magic happens owo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What do they do?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tweety. I like stretching⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw them at an ice cream truck a few days ago!

  Also obligatory link to the Numberphile video about Cliff’s Klein bottles and his crawl-space robot warehouse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k3mVnRlQLU

  Also obligatory link to his really fascinating and engaging book about being one of the first people to catch a hacker: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo's_Egg_(book)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pockit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Handy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pockit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I’ve encountered a tortilla with a pocket, but who’s to say what might exist in the wide world out there!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pockit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That looks like a pita, my sister.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Election Simulations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was hoping it was from a B-movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Random Screenshots of my Games #41 - Road Redemption⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds pretty fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clever, clever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s cute. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clever, clever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What dog?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon cuddles with his first gf⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know that I agree, or really have the basis to form an opinion, but upvote for sharing your opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is voting before the deadline in US elections referred to as 'early voting'?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with everything you wrote. Many countries have election holidays plus mandatory voting. That seems to work reasonably well, though you’d need to allow for people who can’t get off of work that day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is voting before the deadline in US elections referred to as 'early voting'?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s a thorny issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m always astonished when I see people add lighting to a figure/scene by piling on lighter and lighter colors. It’s mind-blowing to me how artists can figure out how to fake light with colors!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is my reaction weird?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By thinking sexy thoughts, sure. Probably not everyone, as I’m sure some people are more physically aroused than mentally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What does that mean to you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, I think that’s a reasonably common position on the left. Not particularly unusual.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “and other bodily fluids”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the food eaten in Close Encounters during the infamous mashed potato scene?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fish cakes sounds likely, but I remember eating lots of pre-prepared Chicken Cordon Bleu that looked a lot like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell yeah brother! The cream of the crop rises to the top one again!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really!? I find that a little hard to believe. It’s basically pamphlet sized. I have one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What a coincidink, I just commented this on another thread.

  The Thomas Jefferson bible might be up your alley. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Randi, no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl | Official Teaser | Netflix⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never watched any W&D. Is it important to start anywhere in particular?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Arms Are Longer Now is a thievery game where the thief is a stretchy boneless flesh tube⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, that’s neat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to impress the honey⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These were my first exposure to programming! I did those on a DOS system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That first link… Mr. Sibu is so cool! It’s a very different way of living than any I’ve seen before. I don’t think it’s as doable in the suburbs of the U.S. as it is in a proper city.

  Does make me think just how much junk I have cluttering the place up. Hmm.
