Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.
- Comment on Who is the enemy? 1 day ago:
I just referred to the BOFH in class last week.
… Nobody caught the reference but it made me happy.
- Comment on Who is the enemy? 1 day ago:
Me too

Beat me to it (by 24+ hours) ya cunt.
- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 1 month ago:
A web interface? Is the keyboard running a webserver or is it remotely managed by the manufacturers website?
I’m confused about configuring keyboards via web app.

Hey! You can’t say that on the internet! You have to say
fuck - Comment on 98 degrees upstairs, ac stopped working at 8am. 2 months ago:
This was me on Sunday… And then also on Monday after realizing that the fan motor was janky (which might be what caused the cap to fail)
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 2 months ago:
Promise in one hand, shit in the other, let me know which one fills up first.
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #7 5 months ago:
Don’t mind me, I’m just going to keep up voting these posts because they’re so well done.
- Comment on Is Half-Life Opposing Force still known to current gamers, or is this a side game that's fallen through the cracks. 7 months ago:
I replayed it on Deck a month or two back… And then Blue Shift. Still in my library from when I bought the Orange Box pre steam and then eventually registered it with my steam account
- Comment on Do the ultra-rich consume popular media? 9 months ago:
I’ve never met a mason that didn’t watch TV and listen to the radio but my sample size is only a few hundred.
- Comment on Enshittification only hurts product itself, not users. 9 months ago:
and the Mojang to Microsoft account migration for Java made a lot of people lose their accounts entirely.
Hey, it’s me. I contacted support and got a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it.
Then I said said “fuck this shit” and gave up to never play again.
- Comment on I will vote for whomever bans happy birthday. 9 months ago:
This. I go on a solo backpacking trip every year that for some reason coincides with my birthday… Weird how that works out.
- Comment on Joy & Curiosity 10 months ago:
If you like this and haven’t seen “Good Night, Oppy” you should go do that right now.

“Nature is fucking metal”
- Comment on Threw a wrestling watch party, made special food, and was very disappointed in the outcome. 11 months ago:
I feel your pain.
Years ago I threw a party for work friends and acquaintances where I had 30 confirmed and 10 tentative (from calendar invite). I bought a variety of drinks (alcoholic and non) and bought/cooked food for about 50 to ensure there was plenty.
… 4 people showed up.
That was the instant that I stopped giving a fuck. Ever since then I’ve adopted the approach of “I’m going to do something, you can come if you want, but I’m not planning for you”. Or, more commonly, I just don’t organize anything :)
- Comment on People on Tik Tok peddling these scams 11 months ago:
It was weird that it needed my social security number, bank account, mother’s maiden name, and the name of my first pet to make the order but I guess it was worth it to stay healthy. Thanks bud!
O, and tell Derek I said hey.
- Comment on People on Tik Tok peddling these scams 11 months ago:
You’re supposed to put a link to where we can buy your miracle vinegar/silver mix in your post. Have you learned nothing from these marketing geniuses?
- Comment on Happy Weekend boiz 11 months ago:
The one I remember from school was phrased slightly differently (but same concept) :
Poor little Jimmy is lying on the floor, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4
- Comment on Never do it with greedy alcohol, that attacks both! 1 year ago:
It has to be human liver though. The alcohol will know if you try to trick it with other types.
- Comment on What's the least suspicious way to get OTC meds through airport security? 1 year ago:
I’ve been carrying around multiple little baggies of pills in my backpack for years and over 20+ flights, several international, they’ve never asked.
Some are separated but loose in the bag (ibuprofen, cetirizine, diphenhydramine, from a bottle), and some were trimmed to minimum size from a blister pack and placed in the bag.
They focus a lot more closely on my headphones, charging cables, battery packs, etc.
So whatever is most convenient for you, in my opinion.
- Comment on Knife vs. Gun Control? 1 year ago:
Depends on the state. Down here there are pretty much zero restrictions except with an asterisk that it’s illegal to harm someone with them… AKA, an extra charge of you’re a dick and stab someone.
I’ve been carrying an “out the front automatic” for the last few years.
- Comment on Bet y'all are very familiar with this 1 year ago:
I’ve spent too much time slamming that lil guy around
- Comment on "Hey Google, Turn my balls off" 1 year ago:
When I got mine, the doc said I should wait about two weeks then “ejaculate as frequently as possible” before returning for the scheduled checkup/semen test.
Doctor’s orders! 🫡
- Comment on Why ‘poly-employment’ may be 2024’s next big work trend, working more than one job is getting a re-brand 1 year ago:
No breaks here!
- Comment on Stare at it. 1 year ago:
Sometimes the first, then eventually the second when you realize you did it but forgot you did it.
- Comment on It's a beautiful language we've got 1 year ago:
Similar in the US deep south:
“Jeet yet?” (Did you eat yet?) No “Yontoo?” (Want to?)
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_can
The inside of the can is lined by spray coating an epoxy lacquer or polymer to protect the aluminum from being corroded by acidic contents such as carbonated beverages and imparting a metallic taste to the beverage
Guess it depends on your definition of “plastic” and if someone would colloquially refer to an epoxy lining as plastic. Not here to debate word meanings but there is definitely a liner inside aluminum cans.
- Comment on I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean? 1 year ago:
I mean… Expiration dates are mostly a lie anyway. Just do the sniff test, probably fine.
But, on topic, I do appreciate the post since that’s weird.
- Comment on The vasectomy was a good idea. 1 year ago:
Vas team high five.
I just don’t like kids and the spouse has a genetic disease so it’d be 50/50 if the kids had it.
