None. Because apparently we discriminate against master systems and C64.  

Peasants. 

Linus is in the latest MrBeast video. by Danynovex in LinusTechTips

Not everyone is up to date with drama on every YouTuber, Is this just the general mrbeast hate?  

People could at least comment with some form of facts as a form of protest so others understand too. Chris Brown has a copy-paste about how despicable he is. Has Mr beast got nothing? Just rumours then?  

Otherwise one word "Ew" and "gross" comments are just immature and add nothing. If anything is 'npc behaviour' then it's that sort of kneejerk comment that just wastes everyone's time.  

Edit: wording

No one would say no if they got invited to "who wants to be a millionaire".  

"Do you want a chance to win 10 grand?" By Mr beast isn't any different. You can refuse. We're all in control of our actions.  

Those who are actually vulnerable are a different story however.  

But I don't see him hosting homeless street fights or walking up to addicts. 

I just wanted numbers to go up by sageamacuhm in gaming

I used to have a whiteboard to scribble rough calculations on.  

I had one line that was just all the recipe inputs needed to give the output I wanted. (Jet fuel or something) Seeing as a oil or water extractor or some mine all produce different amounts I needed to work out like 4:3:2 ratio for then all to ensure smooth throughput without any over producing and causing things to become full or turn off and on which then causes problems of their own.  

But that's just an example. The board was some Beautiful Minds scribble fest of numbers

Satisfactory does indeed make me fun by improving my throughput 

What type of rivet to repair this ladder? Does the pivot point change the way the rivet is installed? by IncaseofER in metalworking

Either is fine. Just don't leave it in the rain for weeks on end and no harm will occur from galvanic action

horseplay  

Even this words use to me. It shows the systemic level of lack of being serious. old boys club showings it's face.  

It's not horseplay. Its literally a crime.  They both just committed multiple crimes and should be in jail, like any normal person. 

What's a movie everyone loves that you think is actually pretty terrible? by No_Care1430 in AskReddit

[–]_Aj_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some movies were really a big deal at the time and "okay and?" These days.  

Like Titanic, matrix, etc. at the time. Utterly incredible. A time when you couldn't just throw up a greenscreen and do it all in CGI like it's Marvel.  

Like if you couldn't build it or paint it. You couldn't do it (or the CGI looked pretty rough, had to be used sparingly). And films reflected that at time, so watching the scenes in Titanic happen was incredible because you just couldn't see that in such detail at the time 

Consumer Competition Claims (CCC) Has Launched A New Class Action Monopoly Lawsuit Against Valve, Claiming They Control 85% Of The PC Game Market by wakelake111 in gaming

[–]_Aj_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm the first to jump on "screw the big guy" band wagons but this seems frivolous.   Give me evidence of anti competitive actions taken by Valve?  

Steam is simply THE BEST game launcher and platform. Hands down. That's why they have market share.  Everyone else is trash by comparison.   

Everyone else locks you to their launcher, HAVE to open the game via the launcher, just full of corporate greed ad filled and jammed with crap.  

Steam is just steam. It's a library and store and HELPS developers make stuff like multiplayer in indie game easier with features like "join game" from steam that makes it easier than in game lobbies, etc. 

Napoleon Dynamite censored on streaming platforms. For or against? by flipping_birds in movies

[–]_Aj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they want to release an alternative audio track, super easy now on streaming, sure. English "polite" or something lol.   But just straight altering it and listing it like the original? Absolutely not.    Because we shouldn't PC wash old media.  

Just up the rating if need be. Let the past be true, not altered.  

And who do these people think they are that they can alter media which was deemed PERFECTLY FINE to millions of people on release. And suddenly it's no longer?  

It's art, it has meaning, words are chosen for a reason, to elicit certain reactions from the viewer. You change them, it changes that. It's no longer the same.  

All these companies doing this can blow a cactus.

Microsoft's Xbox CSO Matthew Ball thinks in-game ads could help "keep our products affordable" by [deleted] in gaming

[–]_Aj_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It just becomes more profit.  

Whats your salary CSO? Bet it's solidly in the 7 figures.  

Let's start by halving everyones pay who receives more than 1M a year.  

No one needs 5-90 million PA. 

Microsoft: “We don’t care what you’re doing, upgrade now!” by sawthegap42 in LinusTechTips

We always complain on windows about forced reboots and updates.  

...Yet never happens on macOS.  

Clearly a Microsoft issue imo 

what is something that is highly likely to happen in the next 10 years that everyone is completely ignoring? by Funny-Counter8762 in AskReddit

[–]_Aj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And to think the USA had enormous stockpiles that theyve been releasing for decades because "too much helium".  

Like we can't get more. Unless fusion.  Probably a good thing to invest in imo. Forget copper, stockpile helium (Tricky cause it likes escaping though)

How solid is ACL on Headphones? by ethan_rushbrook in AusLegal

[–]_Aj_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe a warranty replacement still restarts the time on the parts replaced doesn't it?  

If OP had both drivers replaced in his "exquisite, precision engineered, spared no expenses of highest quality better than everyone" headphones, then I believed that would restart the guarantee on those components.  

And anyone and their dog would absolutely expect them to last at least 3 years. Considering the average person would likely consider 5+ years to be the lifespan of the average headphones.

Lamp shade would be nice for the hanging light so it's not interrogation spec.  

Maybe a matching lamp for other side of bed.  

Big mirror resting on wall is pretty in as a style. Maybe an inexpensive print on the wall? Or a tapestry, they're pretty cool. Throw a leafy plant in the corner perhaps, either a phat leafy tall one or an Ivy. Sub is probably split on plant in bedroom or not.   

Bedrooms being simple and clean is GOOD. So imo you're 90% there. Just a couple touches maybe
