  My problem is the algorithm. There is no way to browse categories and drill down into the features to find what you are actually looking to find.

  You search for xxx company Product, and you may get that product on the first page, but it will be surrounded by dozens of cheap alternatives. I find a lot of those alternatives aren’t comparable to the one I actually seek.

  If you don’t know the specific product you are looking for, you will never be able to sort the wheat from the chaff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder why people litter in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This likely isn’t a matter of people “not doing their job”. Did you communicate that there was a problem with those trash cans being full? Likely, no one else did, either. Since everyone seems to expect everyone else to complain?

  A similar thought process, even though I agree with your original sentiment that we need to have trash cans available: If you would have “done your job” and communicated, there may have been 4 more trash cans available.

  You are confusing racism with bigotry.

  Racism is the system. Bigotry is the individual.

  It looks like the new cartridge will be very similar to the original Switch Cartridge. We can’t confirm for sure, and we can only speculate why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moms, I you were struggling with your child in public and a man offered to help, would you let him and why?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, if a parent yells at me for grabbing a kids hand to keep them from running into traffic, I will look them in the face and tell them that I will just let their kid get smeared for 80 yards next time.

  I have no patience for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG Summer Sale has arrived⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On all non-steam games added to my library, I always do a quick internet search for “+ steam deck control” to help with the layout. It’s not perfect, but I find a lot of useful info for starters.

  The cool thing about the Deck is that you can push the Steam key and update those controller settings on the fly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG Summer Sale has arrived⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I play all my GOG games on the Steam Deck. It takes only a very small amount of tweaking. Additionally, I add them as “non-steam games” in the library, update the artwork and icon, and have a very clean interface.

  I play Minecraft on the Deck the same way.

  A scammer could post an item for sale in any number of locations trying to bait the scammed into a purchase.

  Youre right. Because their bottom line is improved in the short term so that they can say “Look at how much revenue we made last year!”

  “And now look at how many people employed to gain that revenue!”

  “No, don’t look over the whole year! Just look at right now!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you survive on pickles alone, for a while?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nature has a way of providing an observable metric.

  Let me correct my statement. Given no alternatives, cockroaches will eat anything without a caloric deficit. Hence my statement about wallpaper paste. A true infestation of cockraoches will eat anything that will sustain the intrusion. If there is no available “food” around, cockroaches will crawl over cucumbers to eat the paste holding the wallpaper to the wall.

  So long as there is no additional sugar in the brine (hence calories), the roaches will not eat the pickles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you survive on pickles alone, for a while?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It would take more energy to digest the pickle than the pickle would provide.

  One example that I like to use is this: would a cockroach eat it? Roaches eat everything from food crumbs to wallpaper paste. Anything with calories. Do you know something that roaches WON’T eat? Cucumbers.

  So long as the pickles don’t have sugar in the brine, I would say you would likely starve to death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Nintendo acquisition hopes revealed by leaked Xbox exec email⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Bad example on San Andreas. I have it on my PS5. And not the trilogy version.

  But then again, I bought the PS4 version before the trilogy was released. So, I pull my opinion. Good example, dangblingus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Nintendo acquisition hopes revealed by leaked Xbox exec email⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I primarily play PS consoles. I prefer the controller. With today’s technology and cross-platform play, I can still keep playing the controller that I like with friends I have developed over the years.

  PC will be my way forward as I transition past this generation. I’ve been on Sony since the PS1 (I’m old). Plus, at least I can play the older PS1/2/3 titles on PC without a SUBSCRIPTION.

  Bars are loud.

  I like coffee shops that stay open until 11 or 12 during the week. They typically close at 2 or so on the weekend.
