Because we’ve fed slop to pigs since the 1600s? It’s a commonly known word with a clearly understood meaning. It didn’t come from or is a shortening of goyslop, you’re just flat out wrong.

I know it’s said in jest, but if your kid is attached while you’re sleeping, i.e. breastfeeding and cosleeping, which a hunter gatherer society would most certainly do, babies don’t fuss unless they’re sick or something. My wife slept sound

I listened to Malcom Gladwell talking about how McDonald’s switched from beef tallow, and decided to try the double fry method using tallow for myself. Deep frying your fries in beef tallow is an absolutely incredible experience, each bite

Right, I’m pointing out that as a purely single player game, how would one cheat in Doom: The Dark Ages?

by wincy 9mo ago
I assume the “anti-cheat” he brings up in Doom: The Dark Ages is actually Denuvo, which likely would have some issues running, although a January 2025 post on Phoronix indicates maybe it does work, or Denuvo support is being worked on? [0]

My wife normally isn’t one to splurge but after her Bose headphones died, we tried a couple other brands, returned them, and went with the QC-35 II despite them being more expensive. The “comfort” part is key, she’s on the spectrum and has

At least so far the RTX 5090 seems to be available and at the same price it’s been at for the past six months (around $3000). I’m not sure when you’d see GPUs affected by the RAM price increases.

I took an at home flu test, messaged my doctor at no cost telling him I’d tested positive (he didn’t even ask for a picture) and paid $25 from a tax free the same day. My doctor is part of a large hospital system too, he didn’t want me to c

My United Healthcare app told me I had 43 notifications. I just turned it off. There’s literally never a time they need to notify me via a push notification on my phone.

I’ll make sure to pour one out in memory of all the lamplighters, the stable hands, night soil collectors, and coopers that no longer can find employment these days. These arguments were had 150 years ago with the advent of the railroad, wi

I do like the idea that another person commented of exporting the stems and actually singing the vocal portion of the song. It’d be fun to sing again (I sang some in high school), but I feel I never would have been able to come up with the

I think it’s also potentially a sense of taste, like being a music producer vs a music creator. When AI art was nascent and stable diffusion came out, I put probably 1000 hours into really getting good at using it. I like to compare it to p

That’s a good idea actually! The AI did a fantastic job of making a tune that sounded good and matched the style I was going for, then a lot of the iteration was changing the verses because I discovered there’s a lot of lyrics that sound ex

EDH was so bizarre to someone who played Magic in 2003 or so, like “wait I need to care about my opponents feelings and if they’re having a good time? Why would I do that?” I also went away from competitive scenes and found D&D suits me

And you know what? I’ve got a medically complicated kid with a million doctor’s appointments and a full time job. I often switch the games down to the easiest mode. Then sometimes a new Dark Souls comes out and I relish every moment, if I’v

I made my wife a song about how we met using Suno. It took me about 4 hours to get the lyrics just right, rewriting them (without AI help, it’s terrible with lyrics), plugging them in, seeing how they sounded, fixing them some more to get t

It’s a good question though! I got into Lorcana in 2024 and spent way too much money. I became curious about the $3 “reproductions” for $50 cards on AliExpress and ordered a few, while having matching copies I had pulled myself from packs,

It’s not that bad if you get it on your skin. You just wash it off. The danger is having it on your skin and not realizing it, then going into the sun. It’s an exothermic reaction and since it’s UV reactive, you’ll get an unpleasant burn. I

My wife became much more assertive and disagreeable after we had a special needs child in the NICU for nine months and the constant pressure from doctors to get unnecessary procedures like a tracheostomy. They also said we didn’t have to re

I had said I wouldn’t upgrade from my RTX 3080 until I could run “true 4K”. I finally got the 240hz 4K uncompressed but it required buying a $1300 Asus OLED monitor and the RTX 5090. It looks amazing though, even with frame gen. Monster Hun

Fun fact, the Nintendo Switch blows fuses [0] when they do a patch that’s for security/jailbreaking. If I recall there’s something like 12 or 16 fuses they can employ over the life of the product to ensure you can’t rollback updates th

If I’m using the AdGuard safari extension on my iPhone, I noticed the Etsy website didn’t work at all (there’s some fantastic costume sellers there, and I was looking at what it’d take to dress like a Viking). Anyway, on load the screen bec

I grew up in a trailer, and last month I flew halfway across the country and ate at a Michelin star restaurant that fed me truffles flown from Italy. I am definitely part of this group you describe.

Happy new year! I’m going into 2026 about 100 pounds down since last new years. I’m excited to see what the future holds when I’m in the best physical shape of my life. GLP-1 inhibitors are a modern miracle (admittedly to solve a modern pro

We’ve started watching Pluribus on Apple TV and it seems like when they’re making the show Apple contractually obligates them to make a podcast about each episode. Some of them are very interesting (like costume design) and some are less so

I have an M1 MacBook Air and do a once weekly virtual D&D session with some friends. I hook it up to my 4K monitor, and I assumed it had to do with that. It kept becoming a slideshow (unless I put an ice pack under it!) and I realized i

This is why I love listening to Joe Rogan, it’s hard for someone to keep to their coached media narrative for three and a half hours. I’m generally suspicious of people who tell me I shouldn’t listen directly to the words of people they dis
