- Comment on Does farting make you lighter or heavier ? 2 hours ago:
But he doesn’t let it weigh him down.
- Comment on Why do we humans love music so? 2 days ago:
Exactly - chills up the spine moments!
By the way your link didn’t work, but this one might: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(music)?wprov=sf…
- Comment on Why do we humans love music so? 2 days ago:
But we don’t love patterns
I would disagree with that somewhat - I think we do love patterns, but the more complex and intricate the better.
Which is why music appeals so much - it’s chock full of patterns overlaying each other, echoing and counterpointing each other, contrasting each other in ways that are both conflicting and harmonious. Good music is like seeing the rhythms of the world all around you.
- Comment on I am looking to broaden my youtube channels that I follow. What female channel are you following? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t watch every video of hers, but Abigail Devoe’s channel is fun. She looks at the history and making of classic albums, one a week. It’s usually pretty interesting stuff and her enthusiasm is infectious
- Comment on Who discovered/"invented" fire? 2 weeks ago:
Not Billy Joel.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 3 weeks ago:
Ugh. Glad to see you found the answer in the end though 😁👍
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 3 weeks ago:
You could maybe try clearing the cache of the clock app? Long shot, but you never know.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 3 weeks ago:
Windows sucks more at every new release.
10 was better than 8 IMO
- Comment on Why is U2 considered "grunge?" 4 weeks ago:
I’m Mullen over whether to take part in this punathon.
- Comment on What if the idea of “life” and “intelligent life” is all relative? 4 weeks ago:
Douglas Adams considered much the same idea…
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans.
…and…
on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

Only if you can at the same time consider that getting a prize should be a universal law.
- Comment on Is empathy based on a financial bell curve? 5 weeks ago:
Seems very unlikely to me that there’s any real relationship between financial wellbeing and the capacity for empathy. There are wonderful people and shitty people and everything in between, at all levels of society IMO. Better to judge individuals on their actions, than classes on their general characteristics.

It’s bigger than pocket sized, but if you search for Mini PC, there’s a fair few. They’re about 10-12cm square and about 5 or 6 cm tall, so easily fit in a bag.
Although you’ll still need a screen, mouse, keyboard, etc of course.
- Comment on How do you get over a breakup with someone who was (and is) also a very close friend? 5 weeks ago:
No worries - take it easy mate 👍

You’ve had some good advice on here I think, so I’ll not add much other than to say I’m really sorry you’re hurting, and I hope some time and distance away from her (not in a hostile way, just for your own wellbeing) helps you feel better.
Also, the therapy thing - when possible, yeah, talking shit out can really help. If money is an issue, there may still be some free local group counselling sessions you can find. I’ve done that, and I found that in addition to expressing my feeling, the process of listening to and comforting others actually made me feel better too.
away from the eyes away from the heart (dont know if its used in english)
Re that phrase, in English a common way of expressing much the same idea would be “Out of sight, out of mind”
Good luck dude, it gets easier [hug] 👍
- Comment on Inconsistent distances on Google Maps 1 month ago:
Possibly yeah. Although these are villages you’d drive through in about 5 seconds, so no matter where the pin is put it’s not going to be 2 miles different. Maybe it’s starting in a different place though, that might do it. Cheers, will check that out.
- Comment on Inconsistent distances on Google Maps 1 month ago:
Good idea, but I’ve tried overlaying closer zoomed in screengrabs and the routes appear to be absolutely identical! So weird.
- Comment on Inconsistent distances on Google Maps 1 month ago:
Yeah, sorry, I maybe should have been clearer with that :-)

- Comment on I want a chav boyfriend. Where can I find adult chavs? (If you don't know what that is, they're called bogans in Australia and rednecks in the US) 1 month ago:
She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge…

Best thing on Reddit, always made me laugh 😁
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
‘Better’ is a subjective judgement - for me the answer is absolutely not, I’ll always prefer a real physical book.
For others the answer will be yes, and for yet others it’ll be maybe or sometimes.
There’s no objectively true answer to the question though.
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 1 month ago:
Only for travellers with the Mrs Grace L Ferguson Airline (and Storm Door Company)
- Comment on WTF is this ad in my recording app 1 month ago:
I’m not saying there’s nothing dodgy about this because the 3 images with pink in them are clearly IMO designed to trick the eye into seeing nudity which isn’t there…
But that red X is the X men logo: …m.wikimedia.org/…/File:X-Men-logo-comics.png
It’s similar to the one you posted, but that one has white edges to the black lines, whereas the one in your pic does not.
Very weird though.

Oh you’re in for a treat!
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 1 month ago:
If they pay to power it with sustainable energy then it doesn’t. Simple as that. Energy use is really not a problem.
It is if doing so means taking up existing capacity in sustainable energy.
If they were always adding new sustainable capacity specifically for their data centres, that would be one thing, but if all they do is pay for the use of existing capacity, that potentially just pushes the issue down the road a bit.
If/when there’s enough capacity to supply all homes and businesses then this issue would disappear, but I don’t know how close that is.

26 characters? Perfect!
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz it is! And I’ll use it for everything!

You’re using all 3 of the shells, right?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
True, but they can’t literally stop a law happening until it is written to suit them. Figuratively, maybe through influence, pressure, money, etc - but not as an official, formal thing.
