  • I saw a commercial in the 70’s for Starburst. All of them were the same pattern: Person pops candy into their mouth, next scene is them taking off hang-gliding.

    I thought if I ate a Starburst I’d get sent flying off a mountain like the hang gliders. Not in a fun way… eat this candy and you’re getting flung to your death off the top of a mountain. (I didn’t understand what a hang glider was either)


  • Agreed, and this article is written backwards.

    Problem: Audio is a low power (relatively low data) signal that goes over wire. Audio data (not audio) sent via USB needs decoding into audio before it gets sent down the headphone wire. Implementation fails due to insufficient bandwidth. Graphs and textual details go into details about the bottlenecks.








  • The influx of new users in the last 4 months has shown me there needs to be some disincentive for posting the same regurgitated sentiment-based shit that you see every time you log in. Regurgitated sentiments and memes represent 95% of the content… yes AI bad… Israel bad… Cheese powder face man bad… I feel depressed… I can’t afford a house… robots took my job. How many times can we as a community re-state what we already know to be true.

    This is Reddit 2.0 let’s not kid ourselves.




  • With the 3 hours you’re able to commit, scale back the scope to one single core (killer) feature. Slash 97% of the functionality you’ve imagined. If you can’t “sell” based on that it’s doomed anyways.

    As an analogy if you have 3 hours and ya wanna start a food service it’s gonna be a cart you push around and vend cakes you made in the evening. Forget menus, dishes and tables.


  • In the mating game it’s up to the guys to advertise interest and the gals to make a choice.

    Women are pros at dealing with endless expressions of interest, they rarely know how to show/express it. Just be respectful and let go of expectations going in.

    Don’t let the endless whining seen on social media deter you, it’s mostly lies.

    If men bore the babies and women had to do the mating advertising, the human race would be extinct.




  • You don’t have to live up to any kind of ridiculous standard, but you have to embrace all of the unpleasant tasks that come with inviting people to your space.

    The biggest one is that you can’t have people leaving filthy and covered in cat hair.

    I know you have a cat, but you have to figure out how to balance your cat ownership and your desire or intention to host people in your home.

    Clean the cat hair. Vacuum the furniture. Think about how you would feel if you had a cat allergy and had to go to somebody’s home and drag all that filth home with you.

    Don’t get me wrong, I like cats, but let’s be real.
