- Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out? 1 week ago:
Similar happened to a pilot some years ago when the windscreen ejected itself. (wrong bolts if I remember the air crash investigation episode.) He survived though. Was held by co pilot.
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 1 week ago:
Pretty mental isn’t it!
I’m in Australia. We might be a bit nuts over here but at least we have Medicare. Private health insurance is optional and becoming increasingly expensive, but the public system, although stressed, covers everyone.

They are. Not bad heaters back in the day.

Decompose.
- Comment on What are your most recent games played? 3 weeks ago:
I think pool would be harder to emulate than pinball unless using a real cue and VR. It’d be hard to have a one to one user interface for this whereas pinball is mostly binary since flippers went electronic.
That said, I’ve fond memories of some pool games in the DOS / '95 era. The duration of the mouse click being the analog to the cue force.

Hehe you’re right kinda.
I take my phone data offline after about midnight and if I can’t sleep I’ll do Solitaire or crosswords.
If I’m really wanting a good game, Zen Pinball is my poison.

- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 4 weeks ago:
But Raygun did a great break dancing set in the Olympics.
- Comment on Blocking trash newspapers in Apple News+ just disabled the link but doesn't free up screen space. 5 weeks ago:
Google News does the right thing here. I presume it’s cross platform but haven’t tried on an iDevice.

- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 1 month ago:
At last, a reply that understands the difference between heat pumps vs resistive heating.
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 1 month ago:
This tower has about a 20km radius on average due to topography, covers a stretch of the New England Highway and also covers the nearby village of Black Mountain. A good few hundred phones will be in range I expect.
The tower also has cells for Optus and Vodafone, but they are a significant minority of customers in this area.
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 1 month ago:
For cell / mobile phones, you’re sharing the capacity of the cell among multiple people.
In this example, a rural cell tower can provide up to 395Mbps.
It would only take 40 people watching Kayo at high definition (or any high definition video service) via their phone or a 4G router to saturate this tower.
For everyone else at this time, it’ll still work but even though they might have a strong radio signal (lots of bars), the internet will become slow.

Not sure about the science…
- Comment on Cereal 2 months ago:
I remember the 80s ads where the right side of the letter K was imposed over a woman in profile’s lips on a gaping mouth.
Something along the lines of “Special K keeps you looking good.”

- Comment on Choosing violence 2 months ago:
Doesn’t seem to work for me. If Rustdesk goes rogue, it refuses to die. I might need to practice some more command-line-fu though.

And what is Lemmy?
- Comment on What fresh fuckery is this? 4 months ago:
I wonder could someone write an app that watches the clipboard for YouTube URLs and auto launches the desired app?
