  • What are your BEST tech purchases?

  • Picture quality on the One Pro is amazing. Crisp and clear. Sound is really good. Image is stable, but reacts weird in moving vehicles when using the body anchor mode since it can't know about the motion of the vehicle. I wish the fov was a little wider, but it's one of the best in the industry, so I'm nitpicking. My biggest complaint is that it gets a little warm, and has to rest on your forehead for the best view. But it's effectively replaced my TV in most cases.

    I also have a Viture One. Image quality on it kinda bad - it's lower resolution and the chromatic aberration is pretty severe at the edges. Also, the way the screen prisms are set up also gets you a reflection of your shirt. But it feels sturdier and the proprietary cable is easier to attach in the dark so it's nicer for travel.

  • Mormons outraged after Hegseth military policy no longer counts LDS as Christian

    Jump

  • Don't go expecting religious folks to be logical about where they draw all the lines. "Mary-worshiping heathens" was the common line. Also all the saints were seen as idolatry, like Prole says.

  • I grew up Lutheran and we didn't really consider Catholics Christian. So I assume most Christians don't consider LDS folks Christian. Unless they're trying to pad their stats.

  • Does a PBJ have a defined "up" side?

    Jump

  • Peanut butter goes directly on the bottom slice of bread, then the jelly (or jam, or honey) gets spread on top of the peanut butter. That way you can mix the two flavors together. Top is either a blank slice of bread, or you can spread a thin layer of PB or dairy butter on the slice to prevent it from soaking up the wetter spread if you won't be eating the sandwich right away.

  • My mom used to spread peanut butter on the bottom slice and dairy butter on the top slice for the jelly proofing.

  • Xreal One Pro head-mounted display glasses. They've really changed how I watch TV shows and movies.

  • The new aircraft “are going to make the airspace far more interesting..."

    I don't want the airspace over my head "interesting," I want it boring.

  • “God is nonbinary”: GOP activates over Talarico’s past comments characterizing him as too radical for Texas

    Jump

  • I have no opinion on if God is NB. But he's very clearly in a same-sex union with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

  • Sorry, can't do scarves.

    Jump

  • I appreciate the joke, but the rules are exactly why they go "oof". The scarf has higher requirements for precision and a more constant overhead than a one-off giant summon.

    You could make them go "oof" on the summon if you added a requirement that the lava properly flow along the ground and interact with all characters near the event.

  • People with the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap: What do you mean by "Cilantro tastes like soap"? In what way does anything taste like soap?

    Jump

  • It doesn't always taste like soap to me. But when it does, it literally tastes like the lather/residue from unscented bar soap. Like if you wash your hands but don't thoroughly rinse them, then eat finger food. It's a basic (as opposed to acidic) flavor, that really doesn't taste like anything other than soap.

  • Working my way to 8, but I lack the monitor arms. So it's three across and one-and-a-half above. In my defense, it's three different computers.

  • Mouse recommendations

    Jump

  • Seconding a vertical mouse. I like Evoluent's mice, been using them for years.

  • Those of you that have negative sentiments towards AI: What would you want to happen right now?

    Jump

  • I'm not super bothered by Tue copyright issue - the copyright system is barely serving people these days anyway. Blow it up.

    I'm deeply troubled by the obscene power use. It might be worth it if it was a good tool. But it's not.

    I haven't gone out of my way to use AI anything, but it's been stuffed into everything. And it's truly bad at it's job. AI is like a precocious 8-year-old, butting into every conversation. And it gives the right answer at about the rate a ln 8-year-old does. When I do a web search, I then need to do another one to check the AI's answer. Or scroll down a page to get past the AI answers to real sources. When someone uses it to summarize a meeting, I then need to read through that summary to make sure the notes are accurate. And it doesn't know to ask when it doesn't understand something like a proper secretary would. When I go looking for reference images, I have to check to make sure they're real and not hallucinations.

    It gets in my way and slows me down. It needed at least another decade of development before being deployed at all, never mind at the scale it has, and it needs to be opt-in, not crammed into everything. And until it can be relied on, it shouldn't be allowed to suck down as much electricity as it does.

  • A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data

  • Has anybody here actually succeeded in getting an online conservative/right-winger to reflect and legitimately and long term shift their views left?

    Jump

  • I was very conservative. My drift leftward started before the internet was enough of a thing to have video debate spaces, but online debate has given me a lot to think about and pushed me farther left. I credit George Carlin with some of my early movement. He's like an online debate, just against air.

  • What does it feel like when you concentrate?

    Jump

  • To me, there's concentration and there's flow state. Concentration is more of a manual process where I intentionally ignore distracting events. It involves building a structure that can hold up to bumps and it's hard work. Flow state is a groove where distractions melt away and only the task remains. One can turn into the other, and and depending on how your brain works they can both be fragile.

  • The antivax movement goes back farther than Wakefield and the "causes autism" thing. That's just when it became really popular.
