• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this picture idea immature?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Do it. Who cares what girls think! But if you’re trying to attract one then maybe wait a bit before showing her the dumb shit you like doing with your mates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wiped it after I left my last job so there’s next to nothing on it anyway now. They did give me a laptop but due to a stupid conflict between the AV and VPN one of the processor threads was maxed out causing the fan to run on full noise mode all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My laptop still works perfectly well so if Microsoft don’t want to support it any more then I’ll bung Linux on it. I’ve already got my Mint stick ready, just need to get round to it.

  Null pwang! Maybe I should consider entering Eurovision.

  The scale isn’t too clear from the image but it looks more like a pebble to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as it Just Writes™ I don’t care. I want to pick it up, and I want to write. I don’t want to try writing only to find it’s dried up and I have to scribble on some other bit of paper before it comes back to life. Now OK if I’ve left the lid off then that’s my bad, but if I haven’t then it should just flipping work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Win win⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes of course that’d be their primary source. But if that doesn’t cover all the payouts then it’ll lead to a general increase in insurance premiums for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Win win⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, no, it’s all of us, because of how insurance works. Payouts go up, premiums go up. As long as the number of destroyed Teslas is a drop in the ocean we won’t notice, but lots of companies love a good excuse to put prices up and this is just handing them a gold plated excuse on a silver platter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mythbusters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was definitely an awesome show but I hated the interlaced format. Every time they skipped from one section to the next they had to reintroduce it and give a “we got this far” segment; it always felt like the show was at least twice as long as it needed to be.

  It’d have been so much better (for me at least) if they just focussed on one thing at a time from start to end, especially when one of the experiments was fairly gruesome exploding bits of dead pig or whatever, you could skip over that in its entirety.

  But maybe the show was aimed at people with the attention span of a ferret.

  British humour innit mate. Remember where we are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ever wonder how the term "pink slip" came about? This is how you were fired. A pink slip on your desk.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ohh I thought it was something to do with sexy underwear. This actually makes a lot more sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  (Of course, I realise arguing with an American about guns is a fool’s errand but sometime you’ve got to try.)

  OK so hypothetically let’s suppose a right-wing cop has decided to add you to his list of murdered innocent civilians, has parked his car on the boundary of your house and is walking towards you.

  At what point exactly do you get your gun out and shoot first? Spell it out please, I’d really like to understand how this plays out.

  Please include the response of his partner who is still in the car, what that partner radios back to base, and describe the multiple responses of those who will now respond to the reports of a cop-killer. Explain how you think the resulting siege will play out and describe exactly how you win this scenario (where “win” is defined in terms of you living and not going to jail).

  We can also do 2+90 here in the UK. There’s a nursery rhyme about “four and twenty blackbirds” that I think the kids are still learning.

  Best power yours off solar then, cos everything else is generators.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You guys have to end it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No thanks. I switched to automatic shortly after I moved to Reading where I found in all the stop start traffic I was constantly dancing the clutch fandango and heading for having a left leg like a tree trunk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did a bit of maths at school and I know 218>215, and 53>47.

  That is what I call a minority in both places. If all D get together and say “no”, and all R get together and say “yes”, then where a simple majority is required it’ll be an R victory. Any D victory will need some Rs to either swing (and likely get fired), or abstain. Of course if a 2/3 majority is needed for something then R will need some D support to get it through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair to them though, they did just get comprehensively voted out from everywhere. They don’t have a single majority to make any difference to anything. If I were them I’d be sitting back with a large bowl of popcorn going “yal’l voted for this, or at least didn’t vote against it, hope you enjoy getting the full force of this orange idiot right in the face”. But from the headlines I’ve read it would appear they’ve had a few things to say about Fart’s latest hot smelly air.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are "brush" and "blush" really pronounced differently? i pronounce them the same.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  R and L are different letters with different pronunciation.

  Out of interest, how do you pronounce “differently”? As “diffelently”, or “differentry”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one can know my shame⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Three orders of magnitude. 1->10 is one order. 1->100 is two. And so on.

  How long do you think a strike would need to be for to be effective?

  And suppose we start with that? Everyone’d be like “that’s way too long”. So let’s start with a day and build from there. And if a day makes them take action then everyone’s a winner.

  A bicycle gives you freedom of lightweight activities within a few miles of your home. You want to play baritone sax in the band 25 miles away? It’s not happening with a bike.
