- Comment on how do I avoid leggings creasing below the knees? 1 week ago:
Wait.
Like the front?
I have exactly 1 pair of “leggings” and now like 3 pairs of estimated long johns. The former is for exercise, the latter is for warmth but both are equally excellent for general movement.
If you want less crease I’m imagining… possibly stiffer material.

Fascinatingly enough, Samsung’s text from image produced this:

Dear
Thank you for your letter
5 Park Road, Richmond, Surrey TW10 6NS 6.9.22
I am so glad you are interested in stick insects. Iam too and, when I was your age I also kept some. They are indeed fascinating.
There are at least two thousand five hundred different species world-wide. Most come from the tropics and only a few species ever reach this country. Scientifically speaking they belong to a group called the Phasmatoidea which contains two main groups - the leaf insects and the stick insects. Stick insects really do look exactly like thin green sticks and are almost impossible to spot in the wild - unless they move. They don’t, in fact, move much during the day but quite a lot during the night. The kind that is usually brought over here are nearly females and lay eggs that are fertile without having being fertilised by the male. The eggs look exactly like their droppings and sometimes people who keep them don’t know this and throw them away when they are cleaning out their cages.
The one of which you sent me a photograph, however is not, however a stick insect. It’s a leaf insect. There are many many different species of these as well, They vary in the food they prefer and many eat other kinds of leaves than the hawthorn and bramble which you say yours prefer. Many of them are even more like leaves than yours are, with outgrowths on their legs that look exactly like leaves. Wicle

- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 1 month ago:
-I got detention in high school after a teacher overheard a friend of mine asking me if we had homework and i said, “fuck if I know.” Worth it, lol. -I got fussed at working in retail if they heard me swear but never officially written up -at my first accounting job the controller screamed FUCK from inside her office once. Swearing was generally fine here -current job i said “fuck yeah” in a meeting with no consequence. Swearing is generally fine so long as it’s not within earshot of approximately 2 specific people.
I swear… a lot. All the time. I do attempt, at least, to be mindful of the when and where, which is working out for me so far.
- Comment on Does anyone here play Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel? If so, do you know an easier way to build a deck? 4 months ago:
Back in high school, some of my friends halfass doodled the equivalent Yu-Gi-Oh cards on index cards, as actual card games were banned. It was hilarious. And effective.
- Comment on The interior of your house is hot, the exterior cool. What would the most efficient orientation be for a box fan? Pushing hot air out of a window or pulling cool air in through it? 5 months ago:
Well, the folks over at noctua have fan shenanigans down to a fine science, and since I have generally forgotten the last rabbit hole I went down, I’d say get two fans and have one blowing in and the other out, lol.

- Comment on What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how? 6 months ago:
I poked around at your manual lol. Image
Image #11. System panel. One left of it is for the wee speaker. Also check that your chassis is wired up to this correctly, or, better yet, you can be a madlad and unplug it all and see what works. The caveat to that is… you have to know what order to do that in. Generally, your power supply has wires that go to all sorts of stuff, make dang sure you don’t power your cpu for very long without the fan/cooler. Once you know the cpu power and fan is working, keep plugging more stuff in til you find the problem. I’d also mention if anyone hasn’t, be mindful of static.
- Comment on What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how? 6 months ago:
Yeah. There should be a page in the manual with a diagram of your board and it’ll tell you where.
- Comment on What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how? 6 months ago:
Depending on what cpu it is, you should be able to try it without the gpu. Also Google the mobo and try to find its manual. The manual will tell you things like what you can plug in and where. It’ll tell you compatibility crap too. You’ll have two spots on the back where you plug in the displayport/hdmi cable for your monitor – the gpu, and the mobo. Use mobo port and take out the gpu and see if it starts. POST is key. My old gigabyte was a badass and had a led number box so troubleshooting was cake. With other ones, there’s gonna be miscellaneous spots with lil lights that’ll blink (the manual for the mobo will tell you)

Try to dial it a hair past “grotesquely miserable”, but not to “diabolically desperate.” Impossible goalposts amirite? Seriously though, hang in there. (I made a joke in the (regular triage) er once and had to leave because the nurse mistook my dark humor for something apparently serious)
- Comment on Can you live a fulfilling life with autism? 9 months ago:
You might have to game the system a little. Generally, make damn sure they can’t insinuate that you wish for harm to yourself [or others]. Bad behavioral health servicepeople cannot differentiate between mild ideation vs crisis. Fire them if they suck and ask to see someone else until you find the right one. And yes, you can fire them.

1 & 2 play like that, yeah. Maybe I just had a great aftermarket controller by then but s3&k did it right imo
- Comment on What is the average temperature of earth? 11 months ago:
After cruising the comments and reading your post twice I propose the following because I’m that asshole today:
Go by layer.
Okay, so, assload insta-death ballpark Celsius in the center, okay fine. Maybe median this one. Then, consider some other identifiable layer(s) between there & surface, with some more eyeballing. THEN, for good measure, as many surface temps you can get for sea/land/air if you have chosen the range to include atmosphere.
Report back. I’m half asleep and haven’t checked my work. Also. I only ever need half a reason to suggest implementing excel to assist in your calculations 😂 I’m so sorry
- Comment on What are some good computer literacy resources I can point someone to? 1 year ago:
I love excel. So much so that I grabbed a handful of for dummies books about it, abaorbed them, and moved on to vba.
It’s not that it is necessarily easy, but moreso brutally satisfying to be able to swear at a worksheet triumphantly once you’ve wrangled something obscene.
Currently refreshing with 2019 power programming in vba and two older ones, sql for dummies+ crystal reports for dummies. Crystal reports is goddamn brutal to learn, but fuck is it good.
It’s also kinda fun trying to explain sql tables to people. For context, I’m in accounting but got real tired of all the manual formatting shit I used to have to do. It set me down the path to figure out why things sucked so hard. It’s coming in handy at my new job. I might eventually haggle for a custom title of Spreadsheet Developer lol
Also, archive.org has a bunch of reference books on miscellaneous computer stuff. It’s where I grabbed most of mine. They had a lawsuit recently so some of the books are unavailable but hopefully op can dig up something useful.
- Comment on s there a way to make an interface or to use an app like Signal so your texts can't get "legally intercepted" via bluetooth from all car manufacturers? 1 year ago:
It might be the wire? Idk. I only consider it because I blew an extension cord using a space heater in my garage. (Shameful, I know, but I was trying to keep some goddamn tomato plants warm while I was tinkering.) I thought it was rated high enough but ended up tripping the GFCI on the circuit. The heater is fine, outlet was fine, but the extension cord would trip the circuit when I would plug it back in even without the heater attached. I’d probably drive myself mad looking for anything melted if I blew mine in my Subaru. Got a couple dash bulbs burned out and god dammit i don’t want to take the damn thing apart again.

Even with the fucking wiring diagram, I’m still not sure how to disconnect my goddamn horn from my keyless entry. The horn relay is hooked up to so much shit. (The 2001 doesn’t use a “chirp” with the fob, it uses the whole ass horn.) Both of them. Because naturally there’s two. And they’re both loud as shit. And maybe I want to lock my car without the whole street hearing it. And yes, there’s supposed to be a way to silence it but the particular fobs I got for whatever reason won’t.
- Comment on Why using the search bar to find emojis, does it display the male and female forms, but never show the gender neutral version even though such an emoji does exist? 1 year ago:
Non-binary Samsung user here! I use gboard anyway but also implement the person shrugging emoji a lot on discord so it pops up in my recently used quite often lol
- Comment on Is there an alternative to "motherfucker" that people would actually use? 1 year ago:
As an lgbt+, penisless person with a butt, that occasionally enjoys giving/receiving anal play, I say bring on the butts.
- Comment on Is there an alternative to "motherfucker" that people would actually use? 1 year ago:
I use buttfuck/buttfuckin’ an awful lot as an adjective but not really as a noun. Come to think of it, I don’t often – oh, no, wait, when my cats are being unreasonable we do call them little assholes, but swearing at them turns it into a term of endearment anyway.
Dipshit, wanker, buttnugget, cunt, probably my top go-tos lol. I kind of love how some people just hate the word cunt.
- Comment on Simple, right? 1 year ago:
Montana’s COL is absolutely buttfucked right now, sadly. Most of the natives are being priced out of their own towns. If you ask them they’ll blame rich californians/people buying summer homes up here alongside a sprinkle of bonus hostility. Like, rent here is insane. Like east coast city insane. In my field at least, remote positions are slim to none. Gonna have to be in-office. If you do move out here and snag a good remote job, though, bring a good coat and hit me up, lol

- Comment on how do i pick out a good avocado 1 year ago:
My girlfriend tells me I have the magic touch because I usually pick out good ones. The issue I run into more than anything is how volatile any given produce department can be. Some places will only keep rock hard ones stocked, or maybe they have some regular early morning shopper who religiously buys all the ripe ones before you even get there.
If you’re the sociable type, schmooze with the produce folks at Kroger/trader joe’s and they’ll probably be able to tell you when the best time is to come, or maybe they can be assed to leave more not-rock avocados out.
- Comment on How to tell a girl "I love You" without telling her "I love you"..... 1 year ago:
- find girl who is mutually attracted to you. Proceed to step 2.
- date and stuff. Listen. Collaborate. Trust. Bask in the glory that is romance.
- identify and implement love languages.
- by now you damn well better have figured out what she likes and doesn’t and with this knowledge you have your answer.
And chocolate. Also, she should be doing these steps in parallel with you, equally. You also deserve to be shown love without saying it. If she doesn’t, dump her and return to step 1.
