Topic | Do you visit your old college every so often? >_> |
tankboy 05/15/24 4:53:50 PM #27 | I drive past it a few times a year, but I only stop off to visit every 5-10 years. It's way nicer now than when I went there (mostly due to gentrification). |
Topic | did anyone have a modded PS1 back in the day? |
tankboy 05/15/24 2:35:05 PM #8 | Yes, I soldered a chip into my original PS1. |
Topic | Have you ever bought merch from a content creator? |
tankboy 05/15/24 12:21:44 PM #21 | Not sure what counts as a "content creator", but I funded a Kickstarter for Vegan Black Metal Chef's book (a long time ago). I've also funded all three HushKit books. |
Topic | 2.5L I4 vs 2.7 L V6 engine |
tankboy 05/15/24 4:59:56 AM #3 | Is either engine turbocharged and do both take 87 gas? |
Topic | Who is your favorite race in Star Trek (outside of hu-mans) |
tankboy 05/14/24 5:11:17 PM #5 | Orions! |
Topic | Who do you think would have won in a fight a T Rex or a large |
tankboy 05/14/24 4:45:53 PM #20 | The problem is the T. Rex can probably survive multiple rams/butts, while the elephant probably cannot survive a single good chomp, and the T. Rex has reach and height advantages for that. This assumes the T. Rex can use its tail to help stand back when knocked down. |
Topic | You ever try off brand Listerine? |
tankboy 05/14/24 4:39:10 PM #9 | GranTurismo posted... Are like the equates , fluoride, too? I don't know, you have to read the ingredients. If it has fluoride, it will brag about it. If you are not using a fluoride mouthwash, you are probably just killing off "good" germs without even the benefit of improving your teeth. Might as well have some mints instead. |
Topic | Should bagels be toasted? |
tankboy 05/14/24 4:33:55 PM #10 | Good (NY/NJ) fresh (same day) bagels should not be toasted. Fresh bagels from any other locale may be toasted. Older bagels from any source should be toasted. Also: The correct amount of cream cheese is an unmanageable amount. |
Topic | You ever try off brand Listerine? |
tankboy 05/14/24 4:31:00 PM #7 | Yes, I use CVS brand. It's the same thing. But if you aren't getting fluoride mouthwash, you might as well use tic-tacs. |
Topic | saw Cybertrucks in person for the first time ever |
tankboy 05/13/24 4:55:52 PM #13 | I saw one "in the wild" parked on in the street in Chevy Chase MD. It looked weirdly small. |
Topic | "The housing movement failed Gaza |
tankboy 05/13/24 4:51:18 PM #13 | emblem-man posted... I also think you're misreading this topic contentThey are going further and saying that if you are not talking about it, you are complicit in the destruction. |
Topic | do you think people ever buy stuff from wedding registries for themselves |
tankboy 05/12/24 7:18:17 PM #4 | But isn't it a huge pain for the couple if you actually did show up at a wedding with a coffee maker, toaster, pots, glassware, etc.? They'd have to somehow get all that home. |
Topic | do you think people ever buy stuff from wedding registries for themselves |
tankboy 05/12/24 5:55:48 PM #2 | Doesn't it automatically ship to the registry owner? |
Topic | Why are students protesting the war in Gaza at universities? |
tankboy 05/12/24 4:05:04 PM #24 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] There's a big continuous protest outside the Israeli embassy. They have lots of signs and flags and are requesting that drivers honk to show support. Oh, and that one guy lit himself on fire. |
Topic | You can make the F/C degree symbol on your iPhone keyboard |
tankboy 05/11/24 7:28:00 PM #15 | Paragon21XX posted... That's a superscript 0. I stand corrected. I never noticed that! But looking at the other numbers, it's obviously true. |
Topic | New tool that instantly turns n64 files into native executables |
tankboy 05/11/24 6:36:16 PM #40 | Gwynevere posted... This legitimately might be the biggest event in emulation ever, to the point it's not even emulation anymore lol. Imagine if we got a tool like this for PS1, Dreamcast, GameCube, etc Correct: The claimed output is a ported game, not an emulated game. But "port" is being used here in its technical sense, not the casual gaming definition. |
Topic | Game Console tier list |
tankboy 05/11/24 6:28:26 PM #30 | Why are people putting early PCs (C64, Spectrum, etc.) on a console list? If we are going to do that, then the list has to be much longer and renamed. |
Topic | What feature sounded good on paper, but was bad in practice? |
tankboy 05/11/24 6:15:33 PM #14 | Euripides posted... Not when all of our devices/charge cords/etc. are regular USB and then you need to buy fucking adapters for everything You would have had to buy new cables for USB 3 super-speed or fast charging support, anyway. ...which does bring up another issue, which is that it's really terrible that you can't tell USB cable compatibility without test equipment. |
Topic | You can make the F/C degree symbol on your iPhone keyboard |
tankboy 05/11/24 3:31:06 PM #4 | On Android Gboard you can hold down zero. |

tankboy 05/11/24 8:53:36 AM #54 | Whiterun_Guard_ posted... why the hell would he admit that while he's running for fucking president??Duh, because a worm ate his brain. It's now the universal excuse for everything he says or does. |

tankboy 05/10/24 9:00:31 PM #12 | I live there. |
Topic | I miss animated wallpapers on Android phones |
tankboy 05/10/24 7:41:48 PM #8 | I recall animated wallpapers draining my battery, but maybe things have improved. |
Topic | Do you think the planet can feel it when we drill into it? |
tankboy 05/10/24 4:07:33 PM #9 | I'm sure some kinds of rock are more sensitive than others. |
Topic | Dewey Decimal was the dumbest idea. |
tankboy 05/10/24 11:19:13 AM #56 | Dewey devised a taxonomy AND a hashing function, that turned bookshelves into dynamic data structures. That happened when Grant was president. It may be obsolete now, but it was pretty innovative at the time. |
Topic | Would you support your local police department buying new Mustang GTs to catch |
tankboy 05/10/24 11:00:50 AM #17 | Now that radios and helicopters were invented, I don't think high speed chases are necessary. Although, they are pretty cool. |
Topic | Dewey Decimal was the dumbest idea. |
tankboy 05/10/24 9:18:03 AM #13 | RetuenOfDevsman posted... It's a shame there's no such thing as putting smaller signs below the big one that says history. Right, so each Dewey Decimal classification could be a sign. But the list of signs is about 4000 pages long ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/1556532717 ) . Maybe it would be more compact to just use a short number that we could fit on the spine of each book? Then you could simply look up the number by the subject you are interested in (in some sort of catalog of cards?). |
Topic | Pip-Boy, Stealth-Boy. what's with the "Boy" part of these names? |
tankboy 05/10/24 5:51:29 AM #5 | Because having a "boy" suffix feels great! |
Topic | Does Kendrick rank on your Top 10 rappers of all-time? |
tankboy 05/10/24 5:49:30 AM #47 | Del [the Funky Homosapien]? Kool Keith? MF Doom? Jean Grae? |
Topic | Any of you ever been to a Jollibee's? |
tankboy 05/09/24 7:03:08 PM #23 | Yes, I've had it in MD, VA, and .ph |
Topic | So what was better? The PS1 or the N64? |
tankboy 05/09/24 10:11:29 AM #68 | PS1 for the demo discs alone. |
Topic | If Biden ends support for Israel does he automatically win the election? |
tankboy 05/08/24 9:54:23 PM #11 | Genocide is terrible, but far-away things are simply not that important to most people. Certainly not enough to be a swing issue. |
Topic | I hate student driver bumper stickers at this point. |
tankboy 05/07/24 11:54:06 AM #6 | Consider that a student driver may not be driving the denoted car at all times. |
Topic | Clock is ticking to fix Social Security; Retirees face automatic cut in 9 years |
tankboy 05/07/24 7:04:18 AM #40 | kinetika_ posted... I'm the same, I look back on all the SS I paid in and think how much MORE money I'd have been able to invest with, if I didn't have to pay into that shit If SS is intended to be a safety net, it does not make sense to transfer risk to those who are least qualified to assess the risk. You'd have people losing their savings in beanie baby futures, and then we'd have to pay more welfare to keep them from littering the streets. |
Topic | Hamas accepts ceasefire deal |
tankboy 05/06/24 7:10:45 PM #108 | ScazarMeltex posted... There is also the fact that all of those ethnostates combined can't win a fight against the US and the rest of Israel's western enablers. Like zero chance. Direct intervention only leads to their own destruction. That's a really good point. For so long, the (mostly racist) explanation was that Arabs suck at war. But since Ukraine, we now know that it was actually Russian weapons that sucked. |
Topic | Hamas accepts ceasefire deal |
tankboy 05/06/24 6:51:16 PM #99 | 1337toothbrush posted... and this bullshit explanation is why you think israel is justified in its campaign of genocide?Okay, so that's the opposite of what I said. Great. |
Topic | Hamas accepts ceasefire deal |
tankboy 05/06/24 6:42:01 PM #97 | 1337toothbrush posted... You talk about them as if no one knows who they are. It's irrelevant to your original point where you claim that the countries don't care about the Palestinians. Hell, that point itself is irrelevant in the face of israel committing genocide. Seems like you're just trying to find an excuse for it. It is extremely relevant, because it explains why Israel, surrounded by Arab countries, can get away with brutalizing the Palestinians for decades. The Arabs kept Palestinians in refugee camps as a bargaining chip, got the UN to literally change the definition of refugee to support their efforts, lost a few wars, and then decided maybe it would be better if everybody (except Palestinians) made money instead. That's not excusing for Israel; that's an explanation for why the larger ethnostates in the region allow it to happen. They simply don't care. |
Topic | Hamas accepts ceasefire deal |
tankboy 05/06/24 5:17:02 PM #49 | luigi33 posted... The governments playing politics do not believe, nor want the same outcomes as the people of those countries. If I recall, the Arab Spring failed? Or is that a simplification? Either way, we're talking about are countries that tend not to give their people much say in anything. |
Topic | Hamas accepts ceasefire deal |
tankboy 05/06/24 5:01:07 PM #44 | s0nicfan posted... Well, there's Iran, but half the reason the Oct 7 attack happened is likely Iran getting really uncomfortable with the entire rest of the middle east getting on friendly terms with Israel in the first place. On the surface this is somewhat about Islam vs Judaism, but behind the scenes there's also a serious Shia/Sunni divide at work. Iran (and Yemen and Syria) don't so much support the Palestinians as much as they really hate Israel. If they could sacrifice the Palestinians to destroy Israel, they would not hesitate. In fact, maybe that's why they like Hamas so much... |
Topic | Hamas accepts ceasefire deal |
tankboy 05/06/24 4:57:30 PM #41 | Raiden2909 posted... and honestly even if they kick out or kill every Palestinian it would just radicalize every sympathetic country in the region and world wide, Just like with the U.S and its "war on terror" you can't just kill your way out of this A big part of the problem is that there are exactly zero "sympathetic countries in the region". The story of the Palestinians is the story of being abandoned by the other Arab tribes/countries/sub-ethnicities/etc. |
Topic | Hamas accepts ceasefire deal |
tankboy 05/06/24 3:45:08 PM #15 | I think Hamas just wanted the college protests to stop. |
Topic | You need to name 50% of the worlds countries or you die |
tankboy 05/06/24 11:34:19 AM #67 | I wonder what they are using as the country list? There's no really good standard. |
Topic | This Apartment/Condo in Philly looks very 60s. Like James Bond. |

Topic | how would I edit my resume if all I have is in pdf format? |
tankboy 05/05/24 7:45:42 PM #26 | Just retype it, surely it's not even two pages. Do it in Google Docs and you'll never lose it, can easily share it, and you can save it as PDF whenever you like. |
