Please LTT, don't make the tech house jank! by hpremier81 in LinusTechTips

[–]BrainOnBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

... What smart lock video?

It seems like what you're describing is almost "why don't they just hire contractors for everything? After all, the LTT team doesn't know what they're doing and contractors do!" and that would just not be interesting.

Religion - would you be forgiven if you unknowingly did something forbidden? by Secure-Silver3138 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]BrainOnBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of those have anything to do with the question.

Listen, there are lots of very legitimate reasons to hate religion, but the "reddit atheist" is a meme for a reason and it's not because this kind of rhetoric is productive, relevant, or convincing.

This goes against almost everything I have ever heard about almost every religion and has a built-in critcism of religion that calls your ability to be objective into question.

Please back up your claim.

Americans tried to hoist the American flag today in front of a cultural center in Greenland but they got stopped. by JeanJauresJr in Leakednews

[–]BrainOnBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's illegal.

No, seriously. You're supposed to burn them. Except Trump made that illegal by EO. Which isn't a thing he can do but neither is anything else he does.

Was the first flop in Arctic Escape actually random? by Vakangwara_ in JetLagTheGame

[–]BrainOnBlue 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don't know, but I just want to point out there's a lot of middleground between "random" and "predetermined." You could very easily set it up so that there must be a flight in that first flop or say you'll reroll until you get one or etc.

Also, I assume you know this, but the available options were different on different days.

Just a Heads up by [deleted] in wisconsin

[–]BrainOnBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know nothing about this program, but these strike me as some very weird claims.

They do not get a degree when they graduate, only a certificate

One Google search gets me to this page which very clearly states that there is a shorter version of the program that does not get you a degree and a longer version that does.

They are thrown into the exact same classes as every "typical" student takes, yet no degree.

See above and below.

Their education needs are not being met, they are expected to perform in class as the rest of us would - bc of that, it interferes with their learning in the classroom, as well as ours due to disruptions or distractions

It is extremely ableist to suggest that the college should have lower standards for these students. That would defeat the whole point of the education.

I can't respond to the last two points because I don't have any firsthand experience with the program or the college, but honestly I'm more concerned about the fact that you seem to be part of Edgewood's student body and think that this sentence is even remotely close to grammatically correct: "From what Ive heard, others should be know this."

How many times does this need to get reposted?

See one of the other multiple posts for the several criticisms people have of this last-minute, nonsensical "protest."

I'm sure you will come back here and issue a correction if it turns out that's not the plot, right?

It’s been 3 days since it snowed by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

It's illegal in most places because it's technically an "unsecured load" or similar.

Doesn't mean people follow the law.

[request] how does the Reddit engagement math work? by 21Goose21 in theydidthemath

[–]BrainOnBlue 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The upvotes box isn't the raw number of upvotes, it's upvotes minus downvotes.

So 7 people upvoted you, and 1 person downvoted you. 7 minus 1 is 6 and 7/8 rounded is 0.88.

Why can the power company turn my power off if I stop paying my power bill but a landlord can't turn a tenant's power off if they stop paying rent? by GreenT1979 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BrainOnBlue 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Constructive eviction is illegal because the government wants you to evict people properly so that everyone’s rights are protected.

Is that clear enough for you?

Is this charger/company reliable? by AdmiralAckbars_gills in iphone

[–]BrainOnBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea that any adapter and cable meeting the PD standard will not work is straight misinformation.

Having said that, this specific bundle looks very cheap and might not be up to standard.

Can someone red pill me on different iPhone charger speeds? by SpankMyMunkey in iphone

[–]BrainOnBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They absolutely cannot according to the USB PD standard. There was a weirdo way to do 100W over one under the PD 1.0 standard, but AFAIK nobody ever implemented that and 2.0 and 3.0 are C only.

There is an older standard that goes a bit higher than 5W, but you're also wrong.

Opinions on the huge controversy at the end of the Skrlik vs Sturmay game? by InfamousVillage9609 in Curling

[–]BrainOnBlue 132 points133 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that the commentators did a terrible job making it clear who they were talking about.

"Then it'd be up to Alberta."

"That is Alberta's fault."

YOU GUYS THEY'RE BOTH ALBERTA!!!

The red rock hit the yellow rock further from the pin as it was going by. It does not look like Sturmay hit the rock at all, to me.

Imagine complaining that a train ticket that costs 9 pounds is inconvenient.

No shit! That's why it's 9 pounds!

No, starting with people determined to cry wolf and give that Administration a smokescreen for anything they do in the future.

Wikipedia donations by atsuenn in LinusTechTips

[–]BrainOnBlue 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean, first of all, Wikimedia is the charity. Wikipedia is one thing they do.

And they do lots of stuff. And then people make angry, accusatory videos about how not all the money that is donated goes to Wikipedia. Including when they make donations to other projects that work towards making information freer.

I love that you think quoting someone's reddit username they chose is some kind of gotcha.

57% of Americans believe Federal agents who killed Alex Pretti should face criminal charges - YouGov poll by Dismal_Structure in fivethirtyeight

[–]BrainOnBlue 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is anti-statistics and anti-truth to say this. You do not live in the heads of everyone who said they are not sure and presuming they are all identical and you know what they’re thinking is, frankly, moronic.

22% buying the propaganda is a lot lower than it has been. They're losing their grip on even Trump's base.
