  • I love reposts, it lets me know who I can block for posting tired old shit because they're not creative enough to contribute anything on their own, but would still like the validation and approval as if they did.

  • I've also never seen a fellow engineer simplify pi to just 3, although I have seen a rise of memes from people who think they do.

    I would slap someone if I saw them try that, it's unnecessarily sloppy. 3.14 is the default, and trivial to work with if you're using a calculator (I would also slap someone if I saw them not using a calculator). Unless you just LIKE having all your calculations be off by almost 5%. Then you'll come back wondering why so many of your parts are out of tolerance.

  • HBO knows the benefits of pirating. For many of their shows, they tend to be very lax about allowing trackers and streams for the first episode of a season, but then militantly take down everything for the second episode. Of course you can still find episode 2 if you know where to look, but the point is it's harder. They want people to view the first episode and get hooked, and then pay for a subscription when they can't find the next one.

  • You're going to hate this response, but if you're already paying to avoid ads, you could get YouTube premium. I got grandfathered into it from Google Music and honestly I feel it's absolutely worth it. It's about the same cost as Spotify and comes with YouTube Music that works just as well. So I look at it like paying for Spotify with the added bonus of no ads on YouTube and being able to play videos in the background. I also tend to watch a ton of YouTube videos and often use them to fall asleep to.

    At this point, it's the only subscription service I still pay for. I've ditched all the others, but that one has stayed. Anytime I see someone watching YouTube without it, or without a good quality ad blocker, I'm horrified. So. Many. Ads. I don't get how anyone can watch anything like that.

    But I get it; most people would rather drag their ass through a mile of broken glass than pay YouTube a dime, and I totally respect that. Just sharing my experience.

  • One of the unlabeled buttons on the side of the screen should mute it. Whenever I find it, I'll take a pen or sharpie and mark which one is the mute button for future people who don't want to be subjected to that shit.
