- Comment on Skyrim on Switch 2 ships with severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS 1 week ago:
I haven’t really enjoyed pokemon for quite some time now. It started off as a fun casual rps style game with a simple and entertaining story to follow. Then they kept adding more complexity to it and it just kinda fell off for me.
- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 1 week ago:
It means other people impeached cannot be pardoned, and that he cannot pardon himself.
Lots of people can be impeached besides the POTUS; from the VP, down to federal judges and cabinet members. He cannot pardon any of them if they’re impeached.

I quit Nintendo ages ago. As a company, they’re assholes. Then they want to charge $50 for a game that’s 5 years old and 2 generations behind in graphics. Just can’t hold a candle to PC or even the other consoles. The only thing they have left is like 4 game IP’s
- Comment on American exceptionalism 1 week ago:
Same for 4 tablespoons of salt in a quart of water. This will make you piss out of your asshole your body wants to get rid of it so fast. 30 mins of stomach gurgles, ten minutes of the most liquid to ever come out of your asshole since last you tried to boof a 6 pack, and then you’re good to go.
- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 2 weeks ago:
Trickle down effect. The people who want ddr5 are settling on the higher end ddr4.
Two ram sticks are the best way to have the highest performance (2 16GB sticks are better than 4 8GB sticks). No one really wants to build a new PC with just 16GB of ram now, so people are looking for 32GB and 16GB sticks of ram. They also don’t want the slower ram, so they’re looking for 3,400+ mhz speed ram.
So for people wanting a gaming or video editing or ai system, no one wants the 8GB sticks of 2,400mhz ram sticks in your machines.
- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 2 weeks ago:
The demand has increased in ddr4 because it increased so much for ddr5. While all the data centers and ai bullshit needs the 5, it’s caused everyone wanting ddr4 to still need ddr4, and now people who wanted ddr5 to settle on getting ddr4 on the higher end speeds and capacitties.
DDR4 is currently like double the price is was 6 months ago.

They shrank them. Then made them square. Then shrank them again.

Negative. They were very against the law. A guy backed over and killed his own child and made it a multi year mission to force back up cameras as a requirement. Politicians look bad if they don’t want to “save the children.”

- Comment on Feynman rules 5 weeks ago:
FYI; electrons are always negatively charged and protons always positively charged. So electrons, for instance, will always want to repel each other.
But your conclusion is a more direct answer to the silly conclusion I gave. Which boils down to, “we don’t really know”.
- Comment on Feynman rules 5 weeks ago:
Pretty much. You get towards the bottom and on a fundamental level, there are some things that science just doesn’t know. We really don’t know how magnets work, when you get down to it.
- Comment on Feynman rules 5 weeks ago:
To drop my reply from a similar post:
To be fair: "A magnet works because negatively charged electrons repel each other. "
"Why do negatively charged electrons repel each other? "
“… Well … Ok, so hear me out. You’re going to need to understand quantum mechanics and then the fermion principal. Then you’ll know that the electrons aren’t allowed to occupy the same space, and the easiest way to avoid being in the same space is to not touch each other. The electrons know they aren’t allowed to touch because they’ve studied fermions.”

Nothing. That isn’t soldered. It’s mig welded. Also, the welds wouldn’t look like that if it were actually done right there on the wood. It’s AI\photoshop, or they made the welds elsewhere and then put it up against the wood and torched the area to burn it.
- Comment on My friend got hacked and of course microsoft will not even try to help 1 month ago:
I’m in my 40’s and have always been a tech nerd. I have no personal information or pictures I don’t want to get out saved in the cloud. All of my things are only locally saved and backed up. I also keep multiple emails with different passwords and names. My Microsoft account I do have is verified for changes through a non Microsoft email address.
It would be a pain in the ass to screw with me in any major capacity. Quite frankly, I’m still surprised that the masses just accept cloud saving all their pictures and documents, just trusting Amazon or Google or Apple or Microsoft to not have security issues, especially when they’ve had so many security issues.

- Comment on Here we go again... 1 month ago:
I’m actually watching the original buffy right now for the first time, even though I was a highschool kid when it originally aired.
Go watch that. It holds up very well. I’m about to start season 6 (of 7) right now. Only thing that dates it really, is that no one has cell phones. They were common to have in the mid 90’s to early 2000’s when the show aired, but tons of movies and TV shows around then chose to mostly ignore their existence because they blocked off or simplified so many plot points and story lines. It’s strange to think that no one beyond my generation will know what it was like to not have cell phones and the internet.
- Comment on Here we go again... 1 month ago:
After hearing about the reboot like 6 months ago I got to thinking about how I never really watched the original back when I was a teen. I’m about to start season 6 now and it’s been a very binge watchable show so far. Still holds up nicely.
Maybe in another 25 years I’ll get around to watching the reboot.
