- Comment on How does an automatic road barrier decide when a vehicle is coming? 1 year ago:
Good bot
- Comment on How well do Swedish fish keep past their best by date? 1 year ago:
Swedish fish were the GOAT, but they changed the formula a few years back to save money and the new ones are indeed hot garbage.
- Comment on Does anywhere online, shipping shoes in the USA have European sizes as a legitimate search option? 1 year ago:
Do you really think European sizes are some magic loophole to make things fit better? Spoiler alert: they’re all made in the same factory and just use the conversion chart from Google to convert the size
- Comment on Can anyone tell me what PC will draw more power? 1 year ago:
Why not plug each into a Kill-A-Watt and measure it at idle and under load?
- Comment on How should I go about making an online identity that can't be tracked by advertisers? 1 year ago:
Delete all accounts and start from fresh on a regular and frequent basis. Use VPNs and also change them just as frequently.
Or don’t care about it and just try to be uninteresting to market to, it’s a lot easier
- Comment on What does .: come from / what does it mean? 1 year ago:
“In Effect” and “for EGsample” for me
- Comment on Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from? 1 year ago:
o/ is a wave, o7 is a salute of respect
- Comment on How should I handle an ex friend who feels like he needs to bully me to raise his own self esteem? (We're adults) 1 year ago:
“I’m still friends with his brother, so it’s impossible for me to completely block him out from my life unfortunately.”
No, it is possible. If you happen to lose his brother as a friend then that’s an unfortunate consequence.
Life’s too short to have to deal with assholes like that. Not worth your limited time on this planet. Find new friends.
- Comment on Will people respond better if you say you're teetotal, or straight edge? 1 year ago:
I find that adding an “…anymore” adds a lot of baggage that’ll make people drop it and accept your choices
- Comment on Why advertise on YouTube? 1 year ago:
Boy do I have good news for you!
- Comment on do computers conspire? 1 year ago:
Do computers catch fire?
- Comment on Follow up post on a question I asked 1 year ago:
Will it find a way to monetize and offset running costs, or will it not gain traction like the dozens before it?
- Comment on How can I become a better conversationalist? 1 year ago:
Thank you for the thoughtful and kind reply :)
- Comment on How can I become a better conversationalist? 1 year ago:
As I got older I eventually found “my people”. Friends who I click with, who I share values and interests with, who communicate similarly to me.
As someone who struggles like OP, how did you find “your people?”
- Comment on For folks who write for Medium.com, what's your engagement like, and how much do you make? 1 year ago:
I’ve never heard of Medium, so let me get this straight. You’re giving them content AND paying them? That’s like going to work and paying your boss.
If that’s true and you’re struggling to get food at the same time, there are some serious issues going on and you should reconsider what you spend your time and energy on
- Comment on Youtube ads finally got me 1 year ago:
Are you really trying to compare a text/link service with ~10k users to a HD video service with millions of users?
- Comment on Youtube ads finally got me 1 year ago:
How so? Servers aren’t free. Either you pay in cash or you pay in ads.
- Comment on Youtube ads finally got me 1 year ago:
If the people you watch only upload to YouTube, how would they be available on other services?
- Comment on Why do some IRC servers enable unregistered chat moreso than other chat services (e.g. Discord)? 1 year ago:
To wit, someone else could log in with your username and people probably couldn’t tell the difference
- Comment on When does the future begin? 1 year ago:
In one second or less
- Comment on Is Wealth University job application process a scam? 1 year ago:
Also remember: if you find yourself asking “is this a scam?” then it probably is!
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
When you close your eyes and they don’t open again
- Comment on Have you ever had to retake a major course you already passed in order to understand the subject better? 1 year ago:
I came to college with an AP Calc 2 credit, and my counselor suggested I retake it for an “easy GPA boost”
Little did I know the only professor to teach Calc 2 was one of the worst teachers of all time, and everyone frequently got low grades in his class. It put my scholarship into jeopardy, and I had to go a long way up the chain and beg for a whole slew of overrides, to apply my old AP credit and avoid taking the same course with the same professor again.
So yeah, be careful as you might get a shit professor and hurt your GPA. You might be better off just getting study materials or tutoring from a 3rd party so it won’t have a chance to negatively affect your academic standing
- Comment on Strikes aren’t bad for the US economy. They’re the best thing that could happen 1 year ago:
I legitimately don’t understand why this is such a hard concept to grasp. I’d gladly buy your $thing if I could afford it
- Comment on what does "Yee-Yee" mean? i see it on the back of vehicles on stickers on windows. 1 year ago:
For the uninitiated:
- Comment on Is it possible to have privacy in a modern car? 1 year ago:
Just unplug the GSM modules/antennas lol
- Comment on question for Trans M to F people. When fall comes, do you suddenly gain the Pumpkin Spice Latte bloodlust in September? 1 year ago:
I’m a cis male and start uttering “yaas” uncontrollably at the sight of pumpkin spice
- Comment on Do you lucid dream? 1 year ago:
No, but I can consistently hit the abort button and wake up if my dreams are becoming nightmares or if it’s getting uncomfortably metaphysical. So there’s some sort of lucidity there. Pretty convenient
- Comment on If a post gets a lot of downvotes should it be removed? 1 year ago:
How else would we roast OP?
- Comment on What are ways Renters (of a house) can get into alternative energy? 1 year ago:
I’m with you there, but judging by Makita’s complete lack of battery development in the last 20 years I don’t see that happening
