  • aah, but it didn't say steam, it said boiling water.

    smaller gas generators based on internal combustion engines don't boil water though, right?

  • i need to switch but am being lazy. i joined world because when i first joined every other instance had major uptime issues. after like 2 weeks of jumping around and only getting it to load half the time i decided to say screw it and just join the biggest one.

    I'm sure it's better now.

  • the promoun discussion blew up on that community because of a user that many accused of being a troll.

    they (drag) said that they(drag) had no personal pronouns and should be referred to as dragon (technically they [drag] wanted to be called dragonrider because their [drag's] partner was a dragon.) this meant that saying words like "you" or "they" or "your" was incorrect. to address them (drag) one would need to talk like "what is drag's opinion on dragselve's pronouns?". instead of "what are your pronouns?"

    i genuinely can't tell if they're (drag is) a troll, i just think that's too much to ask of people. it's legitimately hard to talk without using personal pronouns at all. that said, I'll still try when addressing drag or anyone else. i just think drag is setting dragself up for disappointment if that's how drag wants others to address drag.

    i can't get the ada post to open right now, and can't actually remember what their final stance was. i just remember when that all blew up. i had no real skin in the game, it wasn't terribly relevant or important to me, but i did try to talk it through with drag and see if i could understand it all better. the conclusion i came to was that drag and i should probably just hang in different circles haha. you don't have to get on well with everyone. I'm not trans or anything like that. my opinions shouldn't matter for the rules of trans focused community. i just found the whole situation interesting to see unfold.

    (case and point: i just went through to try and re-proofread this to make sure i didn't misgrender drag and realized that i still had on my 4th sweep. then i realized that to change all of the personal pronouns in this comment that should be drag into drag would make it unreadable to anyone who doesn't already know the situation. i put those in brackets to maintain readability)

  • no one cares about the plights of those living in backwater stone age dictatorships. the modern world must move forward on its own.

    we Americans have to get used to being left behind and left out of conversations by real adults now.

  • there were very very very few platforms where you could post and share streaming video online when YouTube was new.

    it was certainly the only free option. the internet was quite young then if you don't remember.

    other platforms rose up around their success, but I'm pretty sure YouTube was more or less unique when it started.

  • i just think it's right that an organization takes care of someone that fought for it. ask other externalities excluded. i believe that is a responsibility that anyone that asks others to doubt for them ought to owe.

  • yeah, you certainly can spend more and get better, but most media consumers don't actually care about long term storage like that.

    i only know the pricing on those drives because i just had to replace one in a nas device. i only spent money on a nas device because i work in media and need to keep large files for clients. i follow a 3-2-1 backup system because my job depends on it, but it's not at all necessary to enjoy media.

  • lmao, buddy you can get a 10tb hard drive for like $200 and fit all the pirated media you want on it. that's less money than two mainline subscriptions for a year.

    the VAST majority of data hoarders are pirates. very very few actual spend fortunes on their media collections. that's why everyone is dogpilling you. it felt like you were attacking a strawman of the average user here and they feel the need to correct you about their nature.

    it's not about pirates feeling moral or superior. it's about you being wrong about data hoarders.

  • i guess lol. america is the great innovator. it's just the the only innovations that are being invested in are "how do we squeeze people more while spending less" America is cutting edge on that front.

  • that probably went i, a not morning person, have anyways felt like hotels want to push me out of bed.

    as a lifelong second-third shifter i would pay 3 times as much for ANY HOTEL that can accommodate me wanting to sleep during the day. moving across the country and not wrecking my work sleep schedule is impossible exclusively because all hotels want me to check in 4 hours past my bedtime. so either I'm buying an extra day off noisy bad sleep, or I'm just not sleeping for a day.

    as much as they suck for other reasons and have enshittified beyond usability; this was what air b&b was great for. hotels were and now are again an industry that's very stuck in its ways and NEEDS disrupting. they need to to live "normally" for them to work.

  • yeah, I'm also not quite old enough for that, but the modern conservative narrative would have you believe that most cities are actual warzones right now that are worse than the 80s. i imagine it was similar then. it's hard to trust what people try to tell you about it anymore.

    it's in drum island. it's roughly what the old doctor told chopper it meant and then luffy agreed.

  • it doesn't say that at all.

    it said that good drivers SOMETIMES miss their exits.

    it did not say ALL good drivers miss their exits. it did not even say that ALL good drivers sometimes miss their exits. it said that there are times where good drivers miss their exit. there's no imperative.

    even if you want to be the most pedantic person on this autism boat of a website; in this case you're just plane wrong.

  • sure, but they also don't call eating an apple "eating trees". it would still be fair to call applewood based products "beaver food" or "cardboard" if someone told you to eat it.
