- Comment on Polar Bears are one of the only creatures that naturally hunt Humans... This one tries to break into the Cameraman's glass box 1 week ago:
With such scarce food up there, isn’t it always a good time to eat if it’s just a single human?
- Comment on Is it even feasebal to find 12 people who have not been screwed over by insurance for the Luigi trial? 1 week ago:
If it happens enough times the prosecution would probably drop it as it would get harder and harder to find a jury who hasn’t seen the news and is maybe getting even more annoyed that they keep trying.

The things Samsung has to resort to, to be able to afford ram for its phones after Samsung cut Samsung off from it’s supply.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 1 week ago:
The same principal has been tried with crypto mining.
Capture the heat and use it elsewhere like to heat the building.
Downside for heating buildings though is unless you’re doing it somewhere where it’s always cold, you eventually still end up heat you can’t use, and at that scale, there’s better heating choices. I heard the city of vancouver was looking into heating a swimming pool with it, at least that would have a constant use.
Then you still end up with the issue of the mining cards only being good for 2-3 years before the tech improves and they aren’t mining efficiently anymore, which then just leads to more e-waste.
But imagine if the cards themselves had a really long useful life or were super cheap and easily recyclable, we could put miners in things like space / baseboard heaters which were already going to be doing resistive heating and then gain something from that instead of just heat.
- Comment on The reason women cover their drinks 2 weeks ago:
On the ultimatum note… there was this guy who was friends with my friends, I didn’t know him well, but they spent a lot of time together and I’d see him many times a year. My friends were a couple (m/f). I asked why I hadn’t seen him in awhile, and they told me that he got a new girlfriend and his new girlfriend didn’t want him hanging out with other girls, so he pretty much stopped being friends with them. I haven’t seen him since, it’s been like a decade.

Public services.
E.g A well funded and not abused USPS.
- Comment on The existence of billionaires is a policy failure 3 weeks ago:
Thr government is supposed to enforce regulations in a capitalistic market like ours.
Amazon should have been torn a new asshole for some of the anti competitive things they’ve done for example, which would have maybe prevented or at least slowed what happened.
Google should have been broken up ages ago
And so on.
The rules and regulations are there, it’s just become so corrupt they aren’t being enforced.

How big a deal is this eye tracking that then only shows higher resolution stuff where you’re looking? Is it legit and works well?

- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 4 months ago:
Practically no one in the world who accepts payments for their business directly integrates with visa or Mastercard. It’s all 3rd party companies who integrate (because it’s fucking hard and tedious) and then resell it
In almost all cases, any talk about payment processors, is them, not visa/Mastercard.

- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 5 months ago:
Any of the games that aren’t fully on the cart, require a download to even function in the first place.
It’s looking like (TBD) that this is how a very large portion of the games are going to be delivered.
- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 5 months ago:
When the physical games require downloading to start using them, I think that starts crossing lines into bricking territory even if it’s not entirely accurate.
