No thanks. I’m good.
- Comment on NY City Council members set to vote on proposal to give themselves 18.2% pay raise 1 day ago:
I don’t think those Republicans know what communism is.
- Comment on Anon gets lost 1 day ago:
You had more action on your vacation than I have living here. Granted, I don’t know where you went.
- Comment on I read somewhere a while back that most or at least half of California wildfires are cause by faulty electrical company equipment. Is this true? And how come no one has ever reported it? 1 week ago:
ELI3
- Comment on UK orders homeowners to remove AC units during heatwave due to concerns about climate change 1 week ago:
Is this real, or is it like the Onion? Cause surely no one would say this and be serious. And with such casual xenophobia tossed in.
- Comment on If the temple bell rings in Kyoto at the exact moment the tide hits the shore in Osaka, does the sound travel faster over the concrete or does the humidity in the air compress the distance between them? 1 week ago:
I don’t have any idea what’s being asked but humidity doesn’t compress anything, especially distance.

Confirmation

Yea, that’d be crazy.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says "YouTube monetizes Xbox better than we do", ahead of expected layoffs | Satya Nadella bemoans performance of Xbox 3 weeks ago:
Do you mean schizo, like schizophrenic? I have to admit I’ve never thought about how the slang term looks spelled out. It looks weird.
- Comment on US Army Writes Off $1.8 Billion in IVAS Headsets Due to Defects 3 weeks ago:
$180k each? Which company made these cause they sure as hell made bank.

Like always, I’ll believe it when I see it.
- Comment on McDonald’s employee in ICU after coworker allegedly threw hot oil on him: ‘Why would he do this to me?’ 4 weeks ago:
How well this will heal? They mention it only being second degree burns which doesn’t sound too bad, but they also mention skin grafts and being in a ton of pain. Not things I typically associate with second degree burns. However, I imagine the coverage area may be much of the problem.
- Comment on If Company A tells your ISP we'll call Company B, that you are downloading DMCA stuff and your Company B lets you know this. Doesn't Company A need at least a warrant for entering? 5 weeks ago:
Probably just autocorrect, but *fourth.
- Comment on Neo, wake up! 5 weeks ago:
Other than the CGI the only thing wrong with it is it’s a setup for a bad sequel. That’s why it’ll never be good for me. I feel like I’m getting half of a story that’ll never be finished.
- Comment on Neo, wake up! 5 weeks ago:
I thought that was the Warhammer prequel.
- Comment on Neo, wake up! 5 weeks ago:
Reloaded wasn’t that bad, though the CGI certainly doesn’t hold up. Revolutions was pretty bad though, apart from the action.

They made more?

- Comment on So, has age verification really become the new normal? 1 month ago:
Depends on how the site implements things. Age verification can be regardless of region, or it can just be for specific regions. This holds true for pretty much any feature.
- Comment on Trump settles $10 billion lawsuit against IRS over tax returns, sets up $1.7 billion fund for claims of "weaponization" 1 month ago:
I can’t keep up with this. The outcome has changed like 3 times in the past week. First it was a monetary settlement directly for him. Then it changed to this. Yesterday I read that the lawsuit got stopped. And now it’s back to this. What the fuck is actually happening with this suit?

- Comment on Why don't subtitles match dubbing? | Tom Scott [8:25] 2 months ago:
Based on other videos I’ve seen here the TL;DR
Subs and Closed Captions serve different purposes. The latter is for accessibility/hard of hearing and meant to be a literal transcription of what is said in that language. The former is mostly meant for language translations. To aid in understanding.
Dubs have to roughly match mouth movements because the video is the same for all languages. I know this isn’t true in every instance, but close enough.
Subs are translations from the original language, not from the dubbed audio.

The bully isn’t getting what he wants. So sad.
