I personally really dislike icing. Anything it's on I think is ruined. The only thing that's worse is meringue. Hate that stuff.

For Linux to be a considerable contender for the average user, they need to make it more simple and like a Windows or Mac os.

I used Windows my whole life pretty much. Switching to Mac for a 5 year period was easy. Switching to Linux was easy. Using it was not. Installing a different distro was easy, using it was not. Rinse and repeat 3 more times and hello windows 11, looks like I'm using spyware. Because it just works.

Don’t debate on things we have little to no expertise/personal experience in. [insert really divisive issue here], I am not [this group of people], [other group of people], and don’t have the legal/medical/[insert other relevant thing] background to comment on this issue.

If you ignore those hot issues, you can focus on the important things that matter in life. Like what’s for breakfast tomorrow morning.

Touchscreen laptops, and by extension "two-in-one" laptops, are an absolute abomination of a form factor that should not exist.

I will never play a game that needs admin elevation to run, I don't care how good it allegedly is.

I've missed out on playing several games with friends due to this stance. Star Wars: The Old Republic was the first I can remember. Marvel Rivals is the most recent.

Spanish food sucks! Although I think I already died in that hill today.

Cubic meters and tonnes suck when you’re talking about numbers bigger than 1000, which is pretty much every time. Just use liters or grams and slap on whatever SI prefix that makes the most sense for the order of magnitude you’re dealing with.

Who wants to see numbers like 7900000000 W, 500000 V or 0.00001 g. Nobody, that’s who! Use SI prefixes to make the numbers easier to read and understand. We’re already doing that in many places. It’s not that hard.

Motorcycles are the best means to go camping.

When you're travelling, you are outside. Open the visor, breathe in the pine wood air. Unlike a car where you're effectively disconnected from your surroundings, you're much more in them. You can also reach much more secluded places, so you can just go to "that spot" and spend the night there. It's almost as good as bicycles or hiking in that regard but unlike those two, you can also cover distances, spontaneously deciding to just hit the road for a day and sleep 1000 km further south the next night.

Store brand is as good or better than A-brands in about 90% of all cases.

Anything more than the bearst hint of icing is not for me, personally.

They only got the Predator's mandibles right in the first movie.

The really steep one that'll give me a heart attack.

The big Costco muffins were 1000x better than the new ones.
