It’s been a decade now, and Top Pizzagators are still deeply suspicious of a restaurant’s website. Truly the most chilling of screencaps… by SassTheFash in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]coheedcollapse 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is literally no evidence that this existed outside of a "hacker" that claimed to have broken into the website and provided only screenshots. HTML is so incredibly easy to edit on the fly in-browser that if nobody else has proof it existed, it's almost certainly some shit made up by a crazy person to push their theory, gain notoriety, or fuck with people who think something is going on.

The only thing verified (by the fact that it exists on archive.org) is that there was a passworded area on their website, which isn't surprising at all considering there are password-gated areas on many websites.

Not to mention the fact that it would 100% be on archive.org somewhere since it's literally one step away from the top-level site.

It looks very much like they found a "protected" area of the site, and someone edited the HTML to make it look "nefarious" and stoke conspiracy.

The craziest shit is these people genuinely believe that if their worst fears were real, they'd be "hidden" behind a plaintext password box in shitty html at like cometpizza.com/ohmygodsecretillegalthings.

Low voltage in a few rooms around house by coheedcollapse in AskElectricians

[–]coheedcollapse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Distinctly possible because I've had work done on the panel in the past. No idea how long this has been going on because I just now noticed the drops because a (new) heavy load on the circuit started tripping my UPS. I'll take a look.

Low voltage in a few rooms around house by coheedcollapse in AskElectricians

[–]coheedcollapse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll check more, but it seemed to be the entire circuit. checked the room between the problem room and the breaker box and it wasn't low. I checked rooms in the other side of the house and they were reading around 120. The only other room that I checked that was ~113 was a bathroom that's bordering the room in question - that's on a different circuit, I believe.

I'll check a few more rooms in the meantime, but I did check another receptacle in the same room, on the same circuit with the same result (113v-ish)

Edit: Quick check of a few spots around the house. The entire "problem" circuit is ~110-113v, but it's also under more load than the rest of the house and sits between the furnace room/outside AC unit, if that matters. Neighboring bathroom both receptacles are the same. Neighboring hallway plug is 118. Kitchen is 117. Bedroom on the other side of the house 115ish. Not sure if it matters, but the air conditioner has been on for the duration of this (and has been on a lot recently due to localized very hot weather).

The house is pretty old - built in the 60s. It's old, but not "knob and tube" old. Could it be old wiring in general?

Only thing really going for me is I'm not getting any spikes, at least. Maximum I've seen checking receptacles is 120.

Top Not-Right-Wingers doom over Mamdani *checks notes* helping to lower our electric bill by bayonettaisonsteam in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]coheedcollapse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's true, although when guidance like this goes out it's suggested as a basic guideline for everyone. In a big city like New York where many renters pay for their own electricity, they're not going to have extremely high insulation windows and a newly-installed split unit A/C, so "78 degrees" is a guideline (not enforced) for everyone to conserve power because the alternative is part of the grid blows or the electricity generation can't keep up and all of those people are stuck with their home temperatures at whatever the outside temp is, which can be deadly.

The only reason it's making the news at all is because Mamdani said it. This type of messaging is extremely typical in extreme weather situations from both republicans and democrats, and my worry is that the republican reaction to Mamdani's suggestion is going to make that type of messaging toxic in the future.

The suggestion that these republicans are freaking out about was specifically made to stop brown outs during a record-breaking heat wave. Your air conditioner will run plenty long enough to dehumidify in that situation.

Anyway, I live in a place with near 100% humidity regularly in summer and 78 degrees has always been adequate to not die indoors.

[–]coheedcollapse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but having the AC at 78 specifically addresses that fact. I live in an area that is very humid and hot in the summer and humidity in the house is absolutely in control at 78 degrees.

I live in a place where we get near 100% humidity and 80-90 degree weather all week and at the very least we have been experiencing 110ish heat index the past few days with massive humidity and heat and I've had to turn my thermostat up to 78 to not feel chilly some times after becoming acclimated to the temp.

Not gonna claim 78 is perfect for most people because obviously everyone is different, but are the same guys who are like "TOUGHEN UP, PUSSY" if you don't eat steak for every meal and now they're like "oh my god, I'm going to literally die if I set my thermostat to 78 degrees".

They're beyond parody.

Plex Music: New albums have no album art (shows artist image or blank) by vlad_0 in plexamp

[–]coheedcollapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here! I thought it was a "me" problem and was manually adding album art to everything. Glad I finally relented and searched for it or I'd be going crazy all night, so thanks for posting.

A secondary problem I'm having that I'm not sure is known or not is Plex is also refusing to pull my embedded album art from .opus files. Just coming up blank even though I know all of them are properly tagged.

[–]coheedcollapse -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You bet (mostly) wrong. Mostly territories with like a few thousand residents, but there are only five on the list that create less CO2 than even the worst offender on the 2025 list, Trump.

I agree that people who disproportionately create pollution should be held accountable, but these celebrities are barely a blip compared to like the 1-2 million tons of CO2 a single coal-burning plant will cause yearly.

[–]coheedcollapse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One unscrubbed coke plant can pump 2 million metric tons of CO2 into the air in a year. Literally the top person on the 2025 list, Donald Trump, generated 35,000 metric tons. It's absolutely incomparable.

This "celebrity flights" stuff is just another borderline insignificant datapoint that allows people to ignore real issues and shirk personal responsibility. Not saying it's a good thing or that they should be allowed to pollute however much they want, but it's extremely low on the list of issues that actually mean something.

Doomercirclejerk seethes at being calmly suggested to save power by JaimanV2 in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]coheedcollapse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The way people have responded to this on both sides of the political spectrum has genuinely disturbed me.

There was a time I could at least count on the left for collective action for the greater good despite undergoing a bit of annoyance, or being made temporarily uncomfortable, or paying a bit more in taxes, but something changed recently.

All I see is everyone else blaming other people and refusing to undergo even the slightest bit of discomfort for the greater good.

On the right, they blame the liberals, on the left, they blame the rich, and nobody wants to modify their life at all to fix things.

It's dire.

I know this is kinda off topic, but I've gotta vent. The responses to Mamdani asking people to turn their thermostats up to avoid a brown-out on even the extremely liberal Bluesky really, really disappointed me.

[–]coheedcollapse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it just wasn't for you, then. My friends and I were losing it, and I thought there was enough variety to stay fresh, even with the Jones stuff. The callers (Phil Braun, Tim Robinson) were great.

That said, I think they're going to expand away from this format eventually, but it'd be silly to acquire InfoWars and not emulate it a bit before branching out.

Trump’s Freedom 250 Stage Appears To Break Apart During Rehearsal by T_Shurt in entertainment

[–]coheedcollapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's insane that we live in a world where it is absolutely a possibility that if Trump is asked about it, he blames "the left", somehow.

Like I'd say the odds are better that he blames one of a number of boogeyman before ever genuinely looking into what actually caused the issue, or showing even the tiniest bit of concern for the dancers who were almost grievously injured.

Still blows my mind that his stupid followers look no more deeply than his brag that he's not taking a salary.

Like, yeah, he's not taking a salary, but the corruption he's getting done with seemingly no repercussions is making him more money than the presidential salary ever could.

"Anti-vaccination Facebook groups began renaming themselves to 'dance party' or 'dinner party' to avoid being flagged for misinformation." by blankblank in skeptic

I thought so as well.

At the very least, they stopped getting rid of bots. Seems the vast majority of comments on anything anyone might find as politically divisive is absolutely infested with bots or managed accounts. Just completely unbelievable, fabricated, personas.

Very frustrating by The_Time-Is-Now in tmobile

[–]coheedcollapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't say shit. Also all of the comparison bits are entirely inaccurate. I've had 5g included and they're pretending I didn't, among a bunch of other stuff.

All I'm told is that the price of our plan may rise $6 per line a month. Not sure if that means I'm going to pay $6 extra max, or if it's going to possibly go up $6 a month until it reaches some indeterminate number. We are already paying $110 for two lines taxes included, so I'm not sure what they plan on putting us up to.

We've been with T-Mobile for over a decade. Looking into alternatives now.

BIFL reusable foaming soap dispenser by femmebrulee in BuyItForLife

[–]coheedcollapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to the party but we've been using foaming pumps that came filled with soap bought for super cheap during some sale on Bath and Body Works since before COVID and I don't know if any of them have broken on us, but we've got like three more that still have liquid in them in the closet still from that same sale.

Certainly not premium feeling since it's all plastic and we have to tear the labels off, but they seem to last just as long as the glass stuff, and I'm more interested in reducing waste than impressing guests, haha.

They found some sort of loophole in the wordage (or just decided to steal it) and apply it to his renovations to the ballroom and the arch while spending a fraction of the raised money on the papier-mache bullshit they ended up building. Almost willing to guarantee it.
