  • even without a gfci outlet this would be a difficult way to kill yourself today’s world. in theory there should be at least 3 things that would fail to prevent this. one is that most modern electronic devices have something to shut off in the event of a short. two is the gfci outlet that every bathroom is required by code to have in the majority of countries these days. three is the fuse/circuit breaker of the building itself.

    now, the last one isn’t going to reliably save you, but it will make it a very unreliable way to kill yourself. with all three combined it’s nearly impossible.









  • i will never get over them fighting with the community about whether the game had multi player when it clearly provably didn’t.

    when this game was announced i literally laughed at how badly overpromised it was. that generation of console would never have never been capable of what they wanted. i told all my friends not to buy it because it obviously couldn’t possibly deliver on even half of its claims. they literally just promised everything you could ever want in a space exploration game. the other games that had tried to do that with more resources, more time, and that required better hardware couldn’t even come close to a quarter of what they promised.

    they had to know they were over promising. i simply can’t ever trust them after all of that. also, i don’t often like randomly procedurally generated environments in an exploration game. they just get boring fast without someone crafting an exploration experience with goals and points of interest.




  • well hold on now, they might have kind of a fucked up point if the metric for quality of customer service is strictly defined by customer retention.

    most of the isp customer service I’ve dealt with explicitly tries to make it hard to cancel and swap services. if that has stopped enough people from switching then the goal is met. it may not be our definition of what good customer service is, but they didn’t define that. strictly speaking, they’re not technically wrong to say that some customers are still there because of their customer service.

    not trying to defend them, just trying to guess what they might use to support their argument. it’s disgusting and shitty either way.







  • please look things up to confirm before you comment.

    this is not true. Russia is not included in this stat. Russia is way bigger than America on its own.

    why does everyone on this website have wild misconceptions about the size of America and Europe. it goes both ways, I’ve had to fight Europeans that thought America was “nearly as big as eastern Europe” on here before too. why are so many people so confidently incorrect about such an easily confirmed fact???

    I’m having trouble following you here, but it sounds like you’re just saying that the other colora are derived from mixing the primaries. that doesn’t make the colors you get from that a mental illness??

    is mud not real because it’s just wet dirt? is steel not real because it’s just iron with added carbon? that’s silly.

    if your only point is that non primary colors are made by mixing primary colors then congrats, you’ve taught a kindergarten lesson very badly.
