  Hmm… do you actually need thumbs to fly a modern commercial jet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lara Croft is a Sociopath⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least in some stealth games you can avoid confrontation and killing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The absolute WORST⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this common? I don’t think it’s ever happened to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cookie management dark patterns⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like it’d be worse the other way around right? Because in every other cookie management page, it’s always the “off” setting to disable a feature.

  So it would be weirder to slide everything to the left except this option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wobble wobble⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And the FAA!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah monitors typically cost more than the equivalent TV as it’ll have more features.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i 💚 animals.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait which Red Alert was this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i 💚 animals.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Except it has?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say hello to Bary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Geosynchronous means the orbital period is a day and relatively circular. Satellites with these orbits basically look down at the same part of the Earth.

  Lagrange points are locations along an orbit where gravitational forces balance out with the centrifugal force of the orbit. This does allow less fuel expenditure to maintain.

  For the Earth-Sun or Earth-Moon systems, the Lagrange points do not occur at the altitude of the geosynchronous orbit. The Lagrange points are either significantly further away or at a different orbital phase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨redwoods⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah California redwoods are kind of all over Northern California, they’re commonish in backyards. Giant Sequoias on the other hand you’ll basically only see in a park.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California is debating whether or not to remove the bike lane on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. During the public hearing, a politician was driving his car⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean… the Bay Area has transit at least, but I don’t think you can call it good compared to places with actual transit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see, at this point there were already large tenant and share croppers (former slave owning plantations) who did not reap the supposed shared benefits of the AAA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which industry? At the time of this ruling most farms were individual farmers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Angry Man⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Number

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Angry Man⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you need an extra new line or some other delimiter?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charging to tour rental properties...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t this what Craigslist is for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google AI strikes again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like the text description strips some markdown. It says the “bold” is in bold font but it’s not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kingdom come⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe non-animal is better than just plant, since mushrooms are part of plant based diets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oof⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A PhD in engineering oriented industries will not get you more money unless you hit the jackpot (did some early LLM stuff for example).

  You just gotta love the research.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drinks shouldn’t be chewed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We go to boba tea shops several times a week. I just order them without boba. It’s just a smooth tasty drink.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar powered personal umbrella with battery?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You could use a Sekiro shield: youtu.be/OCq8adZdKP4 It’d be rigid but… probably quite heavy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holee shiet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just realized the saying is “Do the carpets match the drapes” but in my head I was thinking “Do the curtains match the drapes”. Even though curtains and drapes are similar. Brain fart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holee shiet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Should they match the drapes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holee shiet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This does happen and it’s an effective way to decrease the temperature:

  Might be difficult to implement at scale though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you know SiC batteries last and don’t have any long term issues that aren’t expected?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Historically love sugar⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this mean the British are a subset of ants?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bisexual⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At least anecdotally, I’ve seen it happen multiple times. There’s this subset in the dating pool who want to give meeting with other women a try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe most artists will do this for enough money, but I’ve heard from a friend who organizes very expensive weddings, that some of the very top performers will not do private shows even for exorbitant amounts of money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Henry Cavill Says ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Adaptation is Very Tricky and Complex: “The challenges that come with putting this on the page in a way that is doing justice to that complexity, that trickiness,⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They should start with a normal citizen or a guardsman. Then being saved by a space marine. But realizing that chaos is real. And then ending with them being executed for heresy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably more accurate. It wasn’t called the Quartz Apocalypse for nothing.
