Look at it this way: The boiling point of ammonia is -33 C. Would you drink a jug of household cleaning ammonia just because it's been heated to +20C? But anyway, I don't think the…

I despise smartphones (and related), but they're really incredible hardware and software, I SHOULD like them, a lot. Imagine being a nerd in the 90s and getting access to this tiny…

Probably the most obvious for this community is being very enthusiastic about technology but loathing anything with "smart" in the name. (I still use a flip phone and 15+ year old …

I think I will attempt to just eat the negative eggs because at least I recognize, and can define what both "negative" and "eggs" mean. Can't say the same for literally half the wo…

I think it should be hopefully obvious to everyone by now, that bashing your neurons with a bunch of chemicals during critical formative years always carries some risk of later con…

Just saw this and tried logging in and got locked out, "please reset you password", but then the page fails to load after completing a captcha. So now I'm completely locked out? go…

What email provider are you using? I can confirm some of them do trigger "phonewalls".

I'll reply for both you and GPP, I don't know if this will personally affect any servers I use since they're not obviously adult, but I assume the slope will be slippery and if the…

Wow, this is... kinda like the Noita engine but without the exploding yourself every 5 seconds. Probably going to spend the next several hours getting zero useful RL tasks done now…

It should go without saying but, *CANCEL YOUR NITRO SUBSCRIPTION NOW IF YOU'RE PAYING FOR ONE* (for whatever reason) This was just announced today and a flood of canceled payments …

I read the article and was disappointed that the full "word" got cut off, but I know that somewhere, there's a German out there who will post something even longer.

>an influencer marketing company I really, really, really wish this sequence of words did not exist in modern society. /my unsubstantiated reddit-tier comment which I'm only postin…

Mildly related, but I think this is a good time for our yearly moment of silence for Radioshack. The OLD Radioshack, obviously.

I was there, 3000 years ago when Walmart didn't even sell groceries, I still remember mom commenting "It feels weird buying food at Walmart now and not even going to [regional groc…

Your ancestors probably had plant-based cures like garlic or walnut hulls for the same infections. Modern medicine improved on the spectrum of parasites that can be treated but the…

I found it pretty good as a standalone book, but what stuck me the most was this random interaction: I picked it up at a library discount sale, where they give you shopping bags an…

>For a solid trilogy I can recommend the Gaea Trilogy (Titan, Wizard, and Demon), I only read Wizard , how much am I missing out on the other two?

Question for both you and GPP; is this fear limited to real life depictions, or basically anything? E.g, if you ever played Skyrim or a game with spider-like enemies does it have t…

Anyone find an actual link for the finished track? Credits are mentioned on his site and twitter but I didn't find it anywhere when searching for the artist names.

Ngl, I had a split second of "oh damn did I just pick up a url hijacker somewhere?" Especially with awkward gifs at the bottom.

So...... was there ever a resolution with that persistent incompatibility in ROCm/certain AMD drivers and Cycles that made it impossible to render in almost every version of blende…

Every time I hit a "buy" button it brings nothing but horrible anxiety over what future bullshit I'll have to deal with, either because the product will be garbage or the seller wi…

The actual error bar of "typical time-to-infection", as per CDC guideline is 36 hours minimum. 24 is my generous amount of error factor in the most optimistic (or worst, if you're …

I got a ~1600 character reply from gpt, including spaces and it worked first shot dumping into an html doc. I think that probably fits ok in the limit? (If I missed something obvio…

I'm having a hard time believing this site is honest, especially with how ridiculous the scaling and rotation of numbers is for most of them. I dumped his prompt into chatgpt to tr…
