I mean, what the fuck am I going to do? I’m no engine surgeon.
- Comment on Fuck you in particular 3 days ago:
Has his operation gotten any more reliable? I thought about getting some of the powders to put in resin but there were so many stories of people waiting months and then getting ghosted.
- Comment on Britain is ‘a terrible place’ to sell medicines, says Pharma corporate executive 5 days ago:
Pretty much the single biggest customer they have. I was getting podcast ads a few weeks back about some fund or other pharma companies had started to help British patients because the NHS wouldn’t buy their drugs. It sounded pretty desperate.
- Comment on Vape ban isn't working, says waste firm boss 1 week ago:
From a practical standpoint (whether or not kids think this way) those $3-4 ones are mostly shit, the $6-10 dollar ones are more what you’d want to be using, you’d want at least 2 or 3 in case they run out when you’re out and about and you’ll need a charger too. The refillable tanks on that site (at a glance) use premade coil cartridge things that need replaced (though you’ll probably get a week or more out of them) $12+ for a pack of those and the juice isn’t free either.
- Comment on Mercedes and BMW, eternal rivals on a race once again - this time to the bottom. 1 week ago:
I always think this about BMWs and then they somehow manage to grow on me. It’s like they’re released 2 years too early or something.
- Comment on Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor 1 week ago:
I’m not pro Nintendo by any stretch, however in this particular case the guy seems to have been intent on speedrunning stupid any %. Ignored a cease and desist and then decided he’d defend himself in court. I sympathise to a point, but if a notoriously litigious games company asks you to stop, probably stop.
- Comment on 1 UPVOTE = 1 AGREEMENT! 1 week ago:
Just a shit post unfortunately.

Has Lemmy become Facebook?
- Comment on Age check 1 week ago:
For anyone looking for more history around this, the economist have a podcast series called Boom!
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 week ago:
Kinda feels intuitively correct
- Comment on UK Cops 'Ashamed and Sick' of Enforcing Ban on Anti-Genocide Group Palestine Action 1 week ago:
Jimbo has, in fact, suggested he might like the freshen up and Budgie’s just happy to be less Epstein adjacent.
- Comment on UK Cops 'Ashamed and Sick' of Enforcing Ban on Anti-Genocide Group Palestine Action 1 week ago:
Damaging an aircraft engine is a far cry from a campaign of kneecapping, bombing and murder.
- Comment on New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware 1 week ago:
My first thought on hearing frame is server. I’m likely way off the mark (to the point I don’t actually think it’s what they’re doing) but it could be the basis for a cloud gaming setup for steam. Would extend the deck life and allow them to optimise settings for proton locally.
- Comment on UK Cops 'Ashamed and Sick' of Enforcing Ban on Anti-Genocide Group Palestine Action 1 week ago:
It begs the question, in whom have they inspired terror?
- Comment on UK Cops 'Ashamed and Sick' of Enforcing Ban on Anti-Genocide Group Palestine Action 1 week ago:
I think plenty of their supporters knew what they did and frankly they absolutely deserve to be punished for criminal damage. Proscribing them as a terror organisation, however, is waaaay disproportionate and in my personal opinion an abuse of the law. I think their supporters feel the same and are making a stand against this.
- Comment on Never get a tattoo when you are drunk 1 week ago:
Cock and balls would be the baseline here I feel.
- Comment on Under-16s to be banned from buying high-caffeine energy drinks including Monster 2 weeks ago:
We rather famously drink tea.
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
Well, that’s kinda my point, a lot of modern theoretical physics doesn’t present a falsifiable hypothesis - it can’t be tested, there’s no proposal for how it could ever be tested.
In terms of evidence the unrepeatable results - some of it is being repeated and checked, a lot of it isnt. Predictions of how bad the problem is is derived statistically. So much so it’s considered a crisis in modern science.
- Comment on Driver claims cyclist punched him in face and threw bike at car, causing £1,000 worth of damage, after motorist hit him “at about 2mph” 2 weeks ago:
I do too and I actively advocate for the same when I’m a passenger. That doesn’t mean the reaction described above is in any way normal - of another driver did the same I’d also think they had some kind of mental issues.
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
Never said you did
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
That’s the ideal the commentor is talking about, this isn’t reality. A significant number of peer reviewed papers are being published without replicable results or any hint of a falsifiable hypothesis.
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
Whats more to the point, it’s not science.
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
In a way I find pop sciency types that go after religion even worse. Like science doesn’t argue anything about religion, it’s set up to be unprovable - so don’t argue, if it’s not falsifiable it’s not science you’re just grinding a personal axe.
- Comment on Just a little bit more 2 weeks ago:
I’d argue it’s inferior for estimating by eye and dividing in half.
- Comment on Just a little bit more 2 weeks ago:
I’d be fucking nervous approaching 40.
- Comment on Just a little bit more 2 weeks ago:
That’s one lucky motherfucker, look at what it did to the front wing.
- Comment on Apple Envy 2 weeks ago:
Even on a literary level, asimov had some great ideas and concepts, but the actual writing isn’t particularly gripping stuff.
- Comment on T-Rex Burger 3 weeks ago:
What are you on about?
- Comment on T-Rex Burger 3 weeks ago:
Free at the point of use isn’t the same thing as free.

No one should be going to the cinema for a conversation, stop talking at the cinema, were here to watch movies.
