You’re an idiot that only cares about getting free stuff. You are arguing against people having “loyalty to one corporation or another” while endlessly defending the objectively worse company simply because you like to get free games…
- Comment on Tim Sweeney Is Still Crying About Steam AI Disclosures 1 hour ago:
Tim Sweeney owns the Unreal engine, so I think their point was that Unreal itself is going to be so AI slop-coded that games made on it will need disclosures because they came out of the Unreal bucket.

Here are the results of a quick internet search explaining it from various sources.
Also, if you just look at the FAQ or owners manuals for any induction cooktop out there, they will all tell you the pans have to be magnetic to function. Not “for best performance”, to function at all.
It really sounds like you are thinking exclusively of induction forges, which can heat non-magnetic materials. Induction cooking hobs absolutely cannot heat non-magnetic materials to any noticeable or useful degree, they do not have the frequency range or the power for eddy currents alone to be sufficient. Induction forges on the other hand HAVE TO have the power to heat with just eddy currents because if you heat iron or steel up to glowing, it loses magnetism (and the heating slows significantly past that point).
kindle-tech.com/…/what-materials-can-be-induction…
Ferrous metals (like iron, nickel, and cobalt) have an additional, more powerful source of heat.
These materials are composed of small magnetic regions called domains. The alternating magnetic field from the induction coil causes these domains to rapidly flip their polarity, billions of times per second.
This rapid flipping creates immense internal friction, which generates significant heat. This hysteresis effect is what makes ferrous metals heat so much more quickly and efficiently than their non-ferrous counterparts.
axiomht.com/…/how-does-induction-heating-work/
In ferromagnetic materials like iron and steel, a second heating mechanism kicks in.
As the alternating magnetic field repeatedly reverses the magnetic domains within the material, the friction generates additional heat known as hysteresis losses. This effect disappears once the material crosses its Curie temperature (around 770°C for steel), at which point ferromagnetic properties are lost. Above that point, eddy currents carry the full heating load. For industrial heat treatment of carbon steel, both effects work together in the lower temperature ranges, delivering faster heating rates.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heating
In ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials, such as iron, heat is also generated by magnetic hysteresis losses.

No, I am saying the pan has to be magnetic, which is what I have said 3 times now. You are completely wrong about how induction cooking works.
Heat from eddy currents is a small fraction of what magnetic hysteresis can produce. You can technically heat any good conductor with eddy currents alone if it is non-magnetic, but the equipment needed is significantly more complex and power hungry than induction cooking hobs.
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 5 days ago:
This is wrong. Induction requires magnetism, not conductivity. A pure aluminum pan will not get hot on an induction hob. Some aluminum pans have an iron or steel plate inserted in their base to allow them to work on induction.
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 5 days ago:
Oh yea, that’s a different problem. One of the big drawbacks of all radiant electric unfortunately.

I got bored during a particularly slow period at work once and wanted to just play minesweeper or solitaire and found I did not have that option on modern windows without download some bullshit “app” from the “app store” that was full of ads…
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 6 days ago:
The thing is, gas cooking will be banned at some point and you won’t be able to buy new ones. It is not a matter of “if” but “when”. I don’t know if that is going to be soon or not, probably depends where you live really. But given that is where it will go eventually, it sure would be nice if the induction options came down in price and there were options across the range of models available. Currently, most brands only offer induction at the top of their range and radiant electric at the lower end and it would be better all around if they were treated separately instead of tricking consumers into “it is just cheap electric vs expensive electric”.
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 6 days ago:
Probably because your moka pot is aluminum (or otherwise non-magnetic) so induction can’t heat it.

- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 3 weeks ago:
But is that gender affirming care or is that just care?
That’s the neat part, it is all just “care”.
The whole thing gets muddy AF when one tries to squeeze definitions that make sense out of a box stuffed with binary gender and stereotyped gender “norms” that are not representative of real life. It is ridiculous to try to shove all possible characteristics of a person’s body into either “masculine” or “feminine” columns seemingly just to keep score for how “manly” or “feminine” the person is. (not saying you are doing this btw, this is a critique of a lot of our current society at large)
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 3 weeks ago:
I am not thinking about it from a binary gender standpoint. I think of it more like “what I am naturally looking like is not how I believe I am supposed to look”.
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 3 weeks ago:
Oh yea, there are even more than I thought of but those definitely fit the bill.

In the US, you need to run hot water before starting the machine, but once the machine is running there is no reason you shouldn’t be able to use the sink as normal.
The federal government put restrictions on how much energy a dishwasher can use in a cycle, which has significantly restricted how much time they can spend on heating water and drying the dishes at the end of a cycle. In order for dish detergent to work properly, the water needs to be at least 135ºF, most machines aim to reach 140ºF. Most manufacturers will also state incoming water needs to be 115-120º minimum in order for them to be able to work (which is a common-high setting for a hot water heater - 120ºF is hot enough to scald you if you are not careful). If you do not get the cold water out of the pipes between the hot water heater and the kitchen, then the water starting temperature won’t be high enough and the dishwasher won’t work as well (specifically the detergent won’t work as well).
- Comment on KytyPS5 (PS5 Emulator) can now run GTA V at 60fps for few minutes before crashing 1 month ago:
You already don’t need to emulate the entire hardware system like you would with a PS3, but you still require a complex translation layer.
I think this is their point, just worded better. Wine and Proton are not “emulators”, but translation layers like you are describing.
Although I have no idea what they are talking about in regards to virtualization - being able to install Linux on a PS5 doesn’t get me any closer to running PS5 games on Linux, and I can’t even imagine the virtualization headaches to get the PS5 OS running in a VM with enough access to the hardware to not blow chunks (and honestly sounds a lot closer to true hardware emulation than not).

I have no idea about ‘c’ becoming ‘th’. I was referring to the ‘t’ at the end that the above comment made ‘the’ when breaking it down, which they have mentioned in a reply was an auto-correct error.
The Spanish I know is not generally NA influenced.

So you are saying it’s

- Comment on 1 month ago:
Does it count if you buy it but never even launched it? That could be a significant portion of these things, but I kind of assumed the game had to have been launched at least once to start tracking achievements…
- Comment on 1 month ago:
[…] one achievement that popped up related to story that only 18% of players had gotten.
I see this a LOT for some reason. Like, there are lots of games I play where the achievements make me think a majority of people that bought and played the game only did so for 30 minutes at most. I’ve seen achievements like “completed the tutorial” (completed by 60% of other players) and been like, wtf, 40% of people never even finish the tutorial?? And it seems to trend down from there. I wonder what that means often. Maybe people are playing the games in such a way that the achievements don’t register? Or there really are a ton of people buying games, playing them for 5 minutes, and then never touching them again??

- Comment on What would happen if you maxxed out your credit cards and line of credit then moved to some village in the phillipines? 2 months ago:
After about 7+ years the debt is written off by the agencies and drops off credit reports.
*Is supposed to be written off, falls off your credit report, and they cannot take any legal action to reclaim the debt. This does not stop the bill collecting calls and e-mails and text messages, because the 7 year timer is from the last time you gave them money, so they will sneakily try anything they can to get you to pay them literally anything in order to re-open those doors, including lying to you about settlement discounts and the like. Debt collectors are a special breed of evil.
