  Best I’ve heard is Klanborghini. But that’s not related to its (lack of) flying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Aren’t we assuming the data center buildout is to monopolize compute and turn our home computing into dumb screens?

  That’s what I think the hyper scalers are planning, especially after the LLM bubble pops.

  There is some form of processed butter and cream in that packet already. And probably microplastic in the lining of the pouch, if not coming off the machine that processed the potatoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Six Flags has installed one of the largest solar carports in the US - 12.37-megawatt - the annual power use of both the amusement park and neighboring Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been saying this since the whole solar road bullshit started.

  Stupid cities required parking be built at each building, there should require solar over that parking next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silver lining⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re a Mac user (like many designers) Pixelmator is an excellent alternative to PS, it’s lacking in some of the smart object/layer stuff I used to lean on heavily in adobe world (illustrator smart layers in ps used to be clutch in the old skewomorphic days).

  My eyes have degraded at roughly the same rate though.

  No the final fuck your is when they leave whatever money they have left to their goddamn church.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That already seems to be the case, I’m with the other commenters who think it’s a distraction and/or window dressing for their horrible actions here on earth.

  That’s a polite way to say living on rice and beans is a healthy choice.

  They’re delicious and cheap, I don’t care if they have horse meat in them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘A maelstrom of his own making’: how Ed Sheeran’s tour turned into a full-blown culture war⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just saw Gorillaz last night and most of those things were the same experience, but then his melodica broke he chucked it over his shoulder, then the backup one didn’t work and he disappeared for the rest of song while the the guitarist kinda took over and encourages everyone to sing to fill in until Del’s part.

  It works out and he was back for the next song, but kinda had a temper tantrumy vibe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Winter is coming⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You need better layers then. If it’s your face that’s a problem get a good scarf and angle it so your breath blows back up over your nose and cheeks.

  I’ve been out and comfortable in -20°F, but much below that and it get tricky without goggles, and boot and glove warmers.

  Mine’s still charged.

  I kid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never forget⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Put in a search date that limits results to before AI image generators and Etsy’s IPO and you’ll get much better results for most non-current events.

  Decide I can afford it is more accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the Democrats regain power, their centrist leadership will claim, "We can't do anything because...". Don't be fooled. We need to get the corporate centrists out and real progressives in!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We also need to keep protesting for them to do the things we need them to do.

  Getting complacent when a D is elected won’t fix these problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Troo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  2 big things.

  1. Stevie Wonder is still alive.

  2. He went blind from being born prematurely and his retinas never developed properly. He might be able to detect light or shadow. But he’s really blind. And has a history of having fun messing with people about it too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Troo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wide angle lens distortion. The camera is probably a lot closer to the whole scene than it appears, and because of that, it’s closest to whether of in the middle foreground of the frame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The little electric ones that cut through aluminum poles are probably plenty. Lithium ion power tool batteries are crazy powerful at this point so there’s no need to mess around with gas axes anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If any new billionaire would drop dead too, then that might make a change, though I’m sure families would get together and make $999,999aires in short time.

  The problem would still be the sociopaths who want to control more than their sociopath “competitors” (in the biggest number game, not competitors in markets, which none of them want).

  Most of them care about either the biggest number, most power, or most fame, or mixes of the 3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t disagree with the point of this post, but the image of the chainsaw in the article was completely incorrectly captioned.

  It is actually a photo of an electric powered (not electric start) 2 man chainsaw (not one man) that weights 48 kg (106 lb).

  So is the author not careful, or did a slop machine make it?

  Also I’ve never seen of an electric start chainsaw in person and there were only a couple models in the 70s that made it to consumers and had weird removable batteries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Test your might⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but still you need to heat the oil long enough to polymerize or it’s just going to be an oily mess in the cupboard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Test your might⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How fast is your stove/oven? Mine takes at least 10-12 minutes to even get hot enough in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever relics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Reals hex keys, yes. IKEA keys are only made to last one build.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Test your might⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus if they saw this, they’ve also seen more than enough batein’ to care about a rusty pan or 3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Test your might⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. Hours more, unless you don’t mind the rust taste.
