My older teenage son got into the game pretty hard for a month or two on beta or whatever and got me to play.
The mechanics are fun. I’d like to see more story.

Sounds like parents behind the shed during a girl scout meeting.

Many of us tried. Not exactly loic-level mischief, but it was a concerted effort.

Sounds like Reddit should disable post comment/s.
- Comment on Can a laptop docking station be used on a KVM switch? 3 weeks ago:
You will probably only see issues if you are using conversion cables, like from HDMI to DP.
I have seen issues with Tripp Lite not detecting video signal on a DP KVM if the device isn’t selected during boot, but the issue is resolved once you hit Windows.

We just finished. We were 0-10 on knocking on doors. Eventually they gave up and kept on trucking.

Ugh. Searats again? Didn’t we just send them packing one book ago?
- Comment on you filthy casuals wouldn't understand 5 weeks ago:
This device is totally capable of running Minecraft, assuming it’s an older version.
It contains one of two computers.
The older computer was manufactured around '07, has a dual core processor, and may have up to 2g of ddr2.
The newer version I believe was manufactured around 2012 and has a 4 core processor with up to 8 gigs of ddr3.
Both are capable of running Windows, but I wouldn’t put 10 on the older one.

Vegetables are a portmanteau of vegetation and table, as they are vegetarian for the table.
All fruits are vegetation for the table, or vegetables. It’s just that not all vegetables are fruits.
- Comment on How do I make my own internet? 1 month ago:
Yeah, I was thinking more of having a dedicated border device, and limiting the number of neighbors. You would also have to trust you neighbors to run software that self assembles a network, especially in a crowded area.
- Comment on How do I make my own internet? 1 month ago:
Not sure exactly what I would do with it either. It’s not meant for illegal activity, but I can see it being used they way. Properly secured it could be another dark web.
I thought about it needing some kind of border protocol to manage locations and routes. One would need to come up with an address and probably a certificate.
Regarding physical connections, I would say it’s easiest to use wireless. I personally wouldn’t want to advertise that my location is my network, so like the onion network I would like it to route away and double back.
- Comment on How do I make my own internet? 1 month ago:
I know this isn’t what is being asked, but has any of us considered a crowd network where independent users mesh? I would say that I would not want the mesh to meet the www due to endpoint abuse, but to have an independent can/man could be pretty rad.

Nice display of the technology.
Interesting to see that the gecko couldn’t stay in one shape, the police had their hands on Harris’s crotch, and the Pope had time for a couple costume changes.
- Comment on Hacker Shows How to Get Free Laundry For Life 3 months ago:
So, I guess 20a dryers aren’t super common here in the States.
Also, where I grew up apartment complexes don’t allow you to run water lines. I have heard that leases in New York City allow for more modifications, so it could be a regional thing.
- Comment on Hacker Shows How to Get Free Laundry For Life 3 months ago:
Not all American apartments have water lines for the washer or 30a outlets for the dryer, much less dedicated space for the devices.

I wasn’t sure if this was peer pressure or satire so I bought a tin.

That sounds better then what I have run into, so thanks!
- Comment on Finally a useful feature (no) 4 months ago:
How about the ability to set a specific dpi at the touch or hold of a button? I don’t need to cycle through six settings, just allow me to toggle.
- Comment on Anon reflects on e-sports 5 months ago:
You beat me to the punch.
We were absolutely considering output delay and hoarding our CRT monitors.
Some of us were also initially concerned about input delay from early USB until we were shown that while it is slower that it was unnoticeable.

Printers used to refer to the page separation rollers as retard rollers.

Watched the ad. It was meh.
Read the article. It seems to be manufactured outrage to get people to watch the ad.
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 7 months ago:
Poster heard about people who don’t wear their shoes in the house, except for slippers. They want to know how to make it work for quick jaunts out of doors.
- Comment on Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons 7 months ago:
I know it’s not your job, but you can do the following: Disable widgets/news and weather Disable notifications from anything but Microsoft and business-oriented software such as your anti virus Disable notifications from websites Unpin unnecessary items from the start Stop unnecessary items from starting up in task Manager That handles most of it.
I also like to reset the task bar back to the classic look, remove the search bar, Windows store, and task view button.
- Comment on Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons 7 months ago:
It’s alarm fatigue. At some point you don’t know what is important any longer, so you either click on everything or nothing.

The firearms parts he was viewing were suggested to me as things people you know are interested in. He talks about it all the time, so I have him a hard time on the patriotic-sounding names to the parts.
- Comment on shameless b8 8 months ago:
I had to explain this similar concept to a co-worker who always puts his tracking info in his parts orders. He didn’t understand until I started asking him about firearms parts he had been browsing on his own Amazon account.
His links are now sufficiently sanitized.
