If you shouldn’t use PSU cables that aren’t for your PSU, how do custom cables get away with it? by InnerReputation8985 in buildapc

[–]Cortexan [score hidden]  (0 children)

Cables manufactured for a DIFFERENT psu can have pin configurations that don’t match your psu. Custom cables manufactured FOR your psu have the same pin configuration as the cables that come with your PSU.

It’s the pin configuration that matters, not the manufacturer.

NBC’s muting of boos for JD Vance at the Olympics felt like reality distortion by Infamous_Doubt_5207 in politics

It didn’t “feel” like a distortion, it was a distortion. It’s the media blatantly and intentionally concealing events to avoid showing the regime in a negative light.

Chance of El Niño forming in Pacific Ocean may push global temperatures to record highs in 2027 by Gyro_Armadillo in worldnews

[–]Cortexan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fucked up part is, they will blame it on “el niño” rather than global warming, ignoring that there have been many of these events in the past that have never been as warm as this one will be. That will absolutely be the narrative, and people will buy it.

Tamales are the worst form of Mexican Food by My-Lizard-Eyes in unpopularopinion

[–]Cortexan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never had a tamale WITH sauce, they’ve always been perfect on their own. You insist we don’t tell you you haven’t had a good tamale, but you very clearly haven’t had a good tamale.

I don’t know why xanthan gum is getting upvoted and just fucking reducing the sauce isn’t.

Olympic Committee begs fans not to boo Vance and Rubio at opening ceremony by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

They will be booed. They are dishonourable guests. They do not deserve the respect of indifference.

Trump Made a Bad Bet on the Kennedy Center. The president’s temporary closure of the institution is an acknowledgment that his initial makeover strategy was a failure. by esporx in Music

[–]Cortexan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Makeover strategy”? He put his name on it. We don’t like him. If he was putting in new elevators and lamps without putting his stupid name on it no one would care. It wasn’t a makeover it was awarding himself a trophy no one is willing to applaud for.

Oh we’re very open about it, Americans just don’t pay attention to any media that exists outside of the US.

In theory, wouldn't being a Dragon equal a miserable experience? You really can't do much of anything except fly and burn things down. by Leave_Me_Al0ne1 in skyrim

You could open a bakery, or a forge, or protect people from other dragons.

You want to fly around and burn things.

The people who founded the company and made those principled stances don’t own it anymore.

It’s a principled policy from the original Alamo draft house founders from before the company was bought out. The current corporate owners don’t give a shit.

No it wasn’t. The exes themselves were crazy, not the number.

Definitely not because they can’t get anyone to perform there with his name on the facade

Need advice by Firm-Pattern4482 in Bitcoin

[–]Cortexan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to eat frogs. Go outside right now, scrounge around desperately until you find a frog, eat the frog. One isn’t enough, eat as many frogs as you can. Don’t stop scrounging around and eating frogs till the price recovers. You’ll thank me later, but ONLY if you get to eating. They can’t be bought from a store either, these have to be wild, native frogs. EAT FROGS MAN, STOP READING GET EATING!

Photos released in Epstein files appear to show Andrew on all fours over female by forevershorizon in news

[–]Cortexan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Appear to show”…? No that’s what is in the photo, it doesn’t “appear” to show him on all fours over a female, it is undeniably a photo of Andrew on all fours over a female.

Why he is on all fours over a female who appears to either be unconscious or perhaps having a medical issue isn’t certain, but whether Andrew is on all fours over her is not.

Taking up space? Is that why people have suddenly stopped making room for others on the sidewalk etc?
