But… But… I’ve been assured by many old people that heat pumps are super inefficient, waste tons of electricity, and only work about 10 degrees from outside temps!

Surely these people wouldn’t have lied or misrepresented the facts in order to support their own warped worldviews where renewable energy and efficiency measures are evil and Jesus wants them to shoot up power substations near solar projects…

… I really need to move out of the Bible belt…

Every time I hear or read that phrase, all I can think is “BITCH I NEVER SAID I WAS TOLERANT OF YOUR SHIT”

I haven’t logged into Facebook in over a decade, can’t even remember the login email. Can’t be arsed to jump through hoops to ask for it to be deleted.

Can’t imagine why anyone would willingly make a fb page today.

"They came first for the distros. But I didn’t speak up, because it was only Facebook and only Linux. "

Yes, it’s duct tape.

You say that like duct tape isn’t in all of our houses, just waiting to be useful in one of ten thousand ways.

Here it’s adding color contrast, presumably in a way the rider likes, and it makes cleaning up easier while also giving some minor protection against light scratching.

I can’t wait to take my ebike out. My wife and I managed to get a couple suburb rides in while my truck was busted, but then it got too cold for her and too snowy for me, but once it’s warm and dry enough we are heading to the nearest trail.

You know, it would be real cool if everyone just decided to ignore him and keep cooperating with the world.

Checking FOV and disabling motion blur, chromatic abberation, and DoF are my first things before I even start a new game.

I just assume it’s because I’m getting older, and I’m not sitting in a proper chair most of the time.

How long before Israel declares it a hamas outpost and bombs the shit out of it?

Don’t use mods you don’t like. It’s quite the Shocker, I know.

Also don’t shit on other people for using mods you don’t like. Whether it’s the “intended experience” or not.

If I want to drive through Red Dead Redemption 2 in a lifted Nissan altima rocking light strips, spinners, and a massive spoiler, I shouldn’t have to deal with a thousand nerds telling me it’s not historically accurate or it “ruins the game”

(note: if someone knows of a car mod for rdr2 I’d actually like to use a car for the lols)

If someone wants to play skyrim with their massive dong hanging out of their chainmail bikini, while dual welding the keyblade and master sword to fight Gnasty Gnork then let them do that in peace.

Okay I have a confession to make…

I haven’t finished a Doom since Doom 3 (2004).

I have loved every minute of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, but I haven’t finished either of them.

I get too motion sick to play video games like that anymore.

Even Titanfall I have to take a break between levels.

I’ll finish them someday, I promise…

Prey was the first game in a long time to make me stop and go “what the fuuuuuuuck?” in a long time.

It’s a good feeling.

I’d absolutely love to know where the team expected to take the story after the ending(s) if they made a direct sequel.

More like Prey, for sure.

Circadian? Is that like a clown circus act?

My wife works nights and is mostly alone all night, so I try to stay up late so she has someone to talk to. Unfortunately I also have a shifting schedule that changes every week, so I can’t ever get into a sleeping pattern.

Without fail and regardless of what time I went to sleep, every day between 630-7am I wake up. And if I’ve had more than 4 hours of total sleep, there’s 0 chance of me going back to sleep no matter how tired I feel.

My body is a MACHINE. It’s BREAKING DOWN and things FALL OUT of it sometimes.

In one work report, I recorded the date as “1/13/25”, “13/1/25” and “13JAN2025”

I have my preference, but please for the love of all that is fluffy in the universe, just stick to one format…

The secret is “not having politicians that bend over backwards for car companies for over a century while your country is still in development” and “having people in influential potitions or states that understand taxes aren’t inherently bad” with just a Powerpuff girls size dash of “the wealthy like to keep poor people in their place and poor public transit and education keep things that way”

That’s why no amount of “it’s actually cheaper to do it the other way than you already pay and here’s 10,000 studies and real world examples all over the world that prove it” will convince the people who can change anything.

They know.

They simply like things they way they are.

Hell, they kick the poor down a couple pegs where possible.

Funny, because I know plenty of people in Ohio who have gone to Canada specifically for better and more affordable medical treatment.

Oh, so I can even more safely ignore this than usual.

Insurrection was banger.

Enterprise wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be and I’m sorry I took so long to watch it. Just don’t ask me to listen to the opening.

And honestly I only dislike nemesis because… Well, you know…

I mean, they can literally say “it only counts for #45 and #47” and exactly who is going to tell them they are wrong?

Historically they aren’t even okay with you talking to your imaginary friend who’s gonna do you a solid after you die if it’s not the exact same flavor of imaginary friend.

And I mean exact

“Felon who has had no need or interest in the price of oil, gas, vehicles or lumber makes statements about the necessity of oil, gas, vehicles, and lumber”
