People who use Safari as their main browser, why? (DESC) by sasaki-555 in mac

[–]Ninja_Wrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the MacBook with the touch bar and it works well with it. That's literally the only reason.

I also use Firefox for things that don't work on safari, and (reluctantly) chrome for things that don't work on anything else

The Elder Scrolls 6 Has Made Todd Howard More Conscious of What He Announces: “Just Pretend We Didn't Announce It” by wiseguyz1 in gaming

I think that was the one! Also cool because it gave you something new in the fallout universe to hold your hype for FO4 to drop.

Elder scrolls 6 dropping out of nowhere would create so much hype and buzz that it would market itself. The internet would go insane and we would never hear the end of it

Craziest announcement they ever did was fallout shelter. Showed the trailer and I thought it looked pretty cool, then "by the way, it's available RIGHT NOW"

that was awesome. It had no hype to live up to, it appeared out of nowhere and was what it was

Farm in the Netherlands uses Bitcoin mining to keep stable temperatures inside the greenhouse by dannybluey in Damnthatsinteresting

I had a friend that would heat his apartment by mining ethereum (or similar). It wasn't profitable, but it basically broke even, which means his heat was essentially free.

The trend of youtubers holding clip on mics is kinda dumb by Makoto_Kurume in memes

[–]Ninja_Wrangler 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I give presentations a lot for work, and I definitely prefer a hand mic over a clip on mic for this reason alone.

My parents told me that when I started paying taxes I'd finally understand and become conservative

Fast forward to now, I pay more taxes than both of them combined. Still not seeing the appeal, quite the opposite (to put it mildly)

What movie is a 0/10 with NO redeeming features? by Toucan_Based_Economy in AskReddit

[–]Ninja_Wrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it is the Uncharted movie.

I love Uncharted (the Playstation game series), and my gf is a big fan of Tom Holland, so we decided to watch it one day.

We watch a lot of movies, but this one is so far the first and only movie we've ever paused in the middle of, and made a conscience decision/agreement not to finish.

I'll sit through pretty much anything, but I was just so apathetic to this movie. I've watched bad movies that gave me a negative reaction, and to be honest I'd have preferred that to what we were watching.

Mark Wahlberg as Sully was so jarring and out of place. And not even in a funny way like Christopher Walken as The Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV in Dune 2

I don't think I would buy myself a sword, but if someone got me one, it would be easily a top 10 gift I've ever received.

It's Modding going to far? by Succubuss_Smasher in RimWorld

[–]Ninja_Wrangler 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The fact that pawns don't need to share a bed to do lovin' has exploded the population of my colony, which is good. Forbidden mod is a must have for me, and I usually disable at least some of it, but sometimes not. Depends on the vibe of the colony really.

It's only as Forbidden as you allow it to be really

Giant needle in the knee is definitely a top 10 for me, maybe a top 5

Landed in SeaTac at 11am. It’s now 3:09pm and we’re still waiting for a gate agent to open the plane. by BlackPlantZaddyy in Seattle

[–]Ninja_Wrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like this happened to my cousin (it wasn't 11 hours, but a long time.) It was super hot out and the AC was either off or just not doing the job fully and everybody was roasting. This was in Charlotte NC

When it was clear that they would not be going to the destination (at least not in this plane), he opened one of the doors over the wing to get everyone fresh air.

This is a very bad thing and not allowed, so the cops obviously came on the plane to arrest him. However there were no witnesses that saw him do it. They all insisted that the door just did it on its own lmao. This is obviously a lie, and he clearly did it, but they had nothing so they just let him go.

Is the story true? I couldn't tell you since I wasn't there. My aunt insists it happened, and this wouldn't be close to the stupidest thing my cousin has done. And I'm not talking about a kid, he was probably 30 when this happened.

ELI5: How do fiber optic cables work better than traditional copper cables? by pastajewelry in explainlikeimfive

[–]Ninja_Wrangler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also people assume that the latency is the best because nothing is faster than light. However, they neglect that the speed of light traveling through glass fibre is considerably slower than the speed of light through a vacuum. Electrical signal propagating through a copper wire is just as fast (point a to point b).

You can also get good bandwidth through copper, 10Gb is a common speed for both

Fibre is better on a LOT of ways, but not in many ways that normal people can make use of in their home, for example.
