dgeiser13··on US closely monitoring case of lab worker who possibly died of plague in Siberia
I'm surprised this took so long to make it over to the mainstream news.

I read about this on r/PrepperIntel 2 days ago.

Why was this flagged in 2026 and not in 2022?
dgeiser13··on Why Can't Walnut Creek Build 3 Bedroom Apartments with a Playground?
In the US the nuclear family is usually two parents and two children. The parents share one bedroom and each child gets one.

In Asia I would guess families make room for their older relatives which would mean an extra bedroom is needed. Immigrants to the US typically do that but I think it's uncommon among the rank and file Americans.

dgeiser13··on Why thinking out loud with someone beats thinking alone
I assume your anecdotal experience is rare.
dgeiser13··on Fecal transplants for autism deliver success in clinical trials (2019)
Mine is just an anecdotal experience but I have Asperger's and the reason I eat the same food is not about disliking other food. I actually like most food. I eat the same stuff because:

1) Eating the same food frequently means I don't have to spend any of my cognitive cycles on deciding what to eat.

2) I know that this food will sit alright with my digestive system. Everyone I know personally on the spectrum has stress-related digestive issues.

For snacks and small meals I will eat citrus or microwave a small sweet potato and this helps with Vitamin C.

Autistic adults are not children and using dino-shaped fish sticks probably does not represent most adults on the spectrum.

Sounds like something a psychopath would say.
dgeiser13··on No One at Waffle House Remembers FEMA Official Who Says He Teleported In
When you try and pass mental illness off as teleportation. It's called dissociation, Gregg.
dgeiser13··on Epic Games to cut more than 1k jobs as Fortnite usage falls
You are correct. Steam was actively bad at launch when it only had Valve games on it. And they fixed the platform and then started allowing other devs to put their games on it.

EGS is currently bad and trying to position themselves as a Steam alternative when they simply are not even close to the same quality.

dgeiser13··on Epic Games to cut more than 1k jobs as Fortnite usage falls
If this were true than Epic would have eaten Steam's lunch.
dgeiser13··on Epic Games to cut more than 1k jobs as Fortnite usage falls
Epic gave away 662 Million free games in 2025 alone. They pay the game devs for each copy they give away. They've been doing this for 8+ years.

https://insider-gaming.com/epic-games-store-give-away-662-mi...

In addition they've payed other game devs for Epic Game Store exclusivity so games would be available for 1 year before being released on Steam.

The whole company has been mismanaged into the side of a mountain.

dgeiser13··on Epic Games to cut more than 1k jobs as Fortnite usage falls
Since when do people refer to game playing as usage?

dgeiser13··on Where I'm at with AI
I find hyperbolic comments on recommendation threads, e.g. "I can't believe no one has mentioned <blah> yet", to be quite annoying. Every item recommended on this thread is going to be "first" when it's first recommended. Trying to rocket your suggestion to the top of the pile by suggesting it's self-obviousness doesn't mean it's a better suggestion than any others.
