undersuit··on Parasitic worms 'manipulate' mantises onto asphalt roads, say researchers
You can wear polarized sun glasses to help block the light reflected off of roads and water like when driving or boating. Seeking stronger horizontally polarized light would historically lead you to a water source. Adult horsehair worms complete their life cycle in water.
undersuit··on US newspapers are deleting old crime stories, offering subjects a 'clean slate'
based means 'agreement on the action' in this instance.
undersuit··on PolyDye: Full color printer mod for Marlin 3D printers
>but he mostly demonstrates tech invented by other people.

In the video it's stated that the PolyDye creator is a 4 year patron(Patreon?) to TeachingTech and it's a collaboration for the demonstration.

AND the linked has changed to the PolyDye github instead of the blog spam.

undersuit··on The paper passport's days are numbered
I like my RSA fob, they changed the app name one day and I wasted time working with the IT department.
undersuit··on Fake Nintendo lawyer is scaring YouTubers, and its not clear YouTube can stop it
Never denied this fact.
undersuit··on Fake Nintendo lawyer is scaring YouTubers, and its not clear YouTube can stop it
How do I prove it's fraudulent? Hire a lawyer?
undersuit··on Coke, PepsiCo Lobby to Keep Sugary Sodas in Food-Stamp Program
Distracts you from getting rid of vaccines. Like how a photographer has shiny toys to get the attention of children.
undersuit··on Coke, PepsiCo Lobby to Keep Sugary Sodas in Food-Stamp Program
Broken clocks can still be right once a day for a game of whataboutism.

I also chip in for the roads but I don't get to tell you where you can drive.

Beer and Soda are small treats.
undersuit··on The Power Mac 4400
There seems to be a lot of hate for the left side disk drive. Are right handed people so incapable that they can't handle a bit of ambidexterity? /s

I just went and tried inserting a floppy disk with either hand and it was exceptionally easy.

Wouldn't a left side disk drive and the standard right side mouse placement be a superior workflow?

Was the dislike just because of the change?

undersuit··on USDA locks barn door after Listeria escapes
Is the spot we're testing the blood and mold on the factory wall?
undersuit··on Images of gamma-ray flare from supermassive black hole M87
Too see the flare from the side bothers me the most. There's so much energy traveling away from us that it's lighting up space enough for the flare, again not pointing at us, to outshine the galaxy.
undersuit··on Why is it so hard to buy things that work well? (2022)
The BuyItForLife subreddit is supposed to be something like that, but it's also a giant target for advertising.
undersuit··on Drone Incursions Closed Wright Patterson Air Force Base's Airspace Friday Night
Hysteria has found its home in the US.
undersuit··on Pi modder successfully adds M.2 slot to Pi 500
You're making me remember the horror of losing/breaking a battery cover as a child! At least I could 3d print a replacement now!
undersuit··on Pi modder successfully adds M.2 slot to Pi 500
It's cool that it's been solved but I'm thinking having a 3.3v bench power supply breaks the practicality of the PI500. /s

Yeah yeah, just get a converter. I think the real reason the Pi Foundation didn't make the slot available is because they don't want to have to support the influx of broken cases when hordes of people tear open a product that isn't meant to be opened.

undersuit··on The entire healthcare system is broken, not just health insurance companies
Sorry, you've lost any credibility in my eyes with this constant goal post moving; I'm not reading all that.
undersuit··on The entire healthcare system is broken, not just health insurance companies
You made the first unsubstantiated claim first. You've since moved onto this second less absolute statement about the AMA and I see you again pushing another unsubstantiated claim.
undersuit··on The entire healthcare system is broken, not just health insurance companies
>I’m very skeptical that there are many doctors that support removing the supply cap

Well you should find out before arguing from your absolute.

undersuit··on The entire healthcare system is broken, not just health insurance companies
Yeah, there are varying opinions. Thank you for restating what I said.
undersuit··on The entire healthcare system is broken, not just health insurance companies
A bunch of doctors do recognize the issue. Just like every other group there are a diverse set of opinions.
undersuit··on Chatbot hinted a kid should kill his parents over screen time limits: lawsuit
I mean... TV and video games are heavily controlled to prevent children from being exposed to some content without their parents permission. Additionally Playboy is no longer a pornographic magazine but when I was a child I couldn't buy it.

And I bet comic stores and game stores have their own rules about obscene material ontop of the existing US rules. Hey kid put down the Stripperella.

undersuit··on One of the last Navajo code-talkers died on October 19th, aged 107
There seems to be 29 original code talkers who were primary in the development and then the program expanded. The 2014 article is on one of the original 29.

undersuit··on Semiconductors and Modern Industrial Policy
I didn't say they didn't. SMIC is a state sponsored company. Their objectives are different than an American company like Intel.
undersuit··on Xylella Fastidiosa: A crisis brewing in Europe's olive groves
>even interesting to have wild varieties of cultivated fruit trees simply for better pollination.

Love me some pears.

undersuit··on Semiconductors and Modern Industrial Policy
If it's war why are we hobbling ourselves? We know exactly how China is winning. You don't see SMIC begging the PRC for more money from their equivalent of the Chips Act.
undersuit··on John Carmack imagines a future where GPUs don't need PCs
Well the cheaper one does lack the 4x/4x/4x/4x mode in the bios, wonder how much of that is a hardware limitation.
undersuit··on John Carmack imagines a future where GPUs don't need PCs
My dirt cheap Asrock A320m-ITX and my mid-level Gigabyte Aorus Elite x570 support bifurcation, did the feature become much less common in the last couple years?
undersuit··on Intel announces Arc B-series "Battlemage" discrete graphics with Linux support
The mods have thankfully changed this to a Phoronix article instead of the Intel page and the title has been reworked to not include 'launch'.
