- Comment on Lawmakers vote to reauthorize US spying law that critics say expands government surveillance 6 months ago:
Fascists will fascist. The US is no different than China to anyone paying attention. Except your people get none of the benefits that the Chinese do like modern and clean cities and infrastructure, lower cost of living, low crime, etc.
- Comment on Never use 3rd Party USB-Hubs! 7 months ago:
A cheap USB-C hub can only output so many power and voltage levels at once. Looking at that device it’s only a single USB C PD in and a single USB C PD out. Not a bad device, but not really a real charging hub if that is your goal.
Anker uses pretty good controllers. It’s of course possible you got a bad one, but it’s highly unlikely this is systemic.
- Comment on What games do you replay regularly/annually ? 7 months ago:
Starcraft. Not 2, just StarCraft.
And sometimes Command and Conquer Red Alert in the emulator.
- Comment on Do really large people need special bathtubs/showers to keep water from getting everywhere? 11 months ago:
Nothing to do with being fat. Some people have zero idea how a shower works. You need to put the liner IN the tub area and the decorative curtain outside the tub. Many people push them both outside the tub. Now all the water that splashes around hits the liner and drains right onto the floor and not into the tub.
The amount of water splashing makes no difference if you’re big or small. Pressurized water hitting you is going to bounce all over. Since you’re taking a shower, that’s the goal.
If I had to guess, the curtain is wrong, he has no idea because nobody has ever told him and the bathroom is terribly non water tight so splashing will go down through the floor. Even tile is not waterproof nor is grout.
It’s why I always specify a waterproof membrane and floor drain but it’s not common in US/Canada yet.
- Comment on You know tipping has gotten out of control when your son says we have to tip Santa with money. 11 months ago:
In America’s hat, common as well. We always set out a chilled glass and a Molson with some Christmas cookies for Santa.
I was genuinely confused when the Americans I later met said milk and cookies… Why milk? There’s no cows or goats in the North pole, Santa is home brewing.
