thedirtyknapkin , to technology in US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones

Oh it’s a pretty common Internet thing these days. Hopium and copium.

thedirtyknapkin , to nottheonion in 'They're all high': Rats eat marijuana from police evidence room

Sure, but the New Orleans evidence locker surely has a fuckton of edibles too, which the rats would likely target before anything else in there.

Also, they wouldn’t need to eat all of it too ruin all of it. Whether they’re trying to consume it or use it a evidence.

thedirtyknapkin , to news in Massachusetts governor to pardon "hundreds of thousands" with marijuana convictions

Certainly not usable for legal precedent. I’m no expert, but this

A: didn’t happen in a court

And

B: wouldn’t be in the same jurisdiction as any other state that would want to do similar anyway.

Even if this had been decided by the courts, it wouldn’t have been a federal court. Precedent doesn’t jump state lines outside of federal court.

Yes, I would be very confused if you sent me one that way

thedirtyknapkin , to news in US says UFO sightings likely secret military tests

Most of the sightings were just people saying that saw a thing. They can’t know for certain what they saw. They weren’t there.

Like, even if they know there was a test in the right area at the right time, the witness could easily be looking the other way and not remember which direction they were facing. How often do you know which way it’s North?

Picture it as a conversation.

“I saw something round flying around all weird in the sky last night”.

“Well, we were doing tests on a weird round flying thing yesterday, so it was probably that”

They can’t give a more definitive answer. For all they know the person was drunk and saw a bat.

On top of that, they pay these people so little that it’s cheaper to hire 50 of them for a year than to hire one person to run an operation like that for the same time.

thedirtyknapkin , to showerthoughts in It would be ironic for song writers to have annoying earworms of songs they wrote

Oh it totally happens. I think part of what makes a performer is whether you find that embarrassing (like me) or if that makes you want to sing them for others.

I’m not a musician, but I like coming up with my own silly little songs. Every once in s while I come up with something less silly that I actually like and it goes through my head for a little while.

I hope my cats likes my singing, because I would never show anyone else. I’ve got my creative outlet already. I don’t need a new form of imposter syndrome

thedirtyknapkin , to technology in The HDMI Forum rejected AMD's open source HDMI 2.1 implementation

Piracy being easier is the only risk. Once again ruining the experience of legitimate customers to try and stop a thing that they have had no success at even slowing down.

thedirtyknapkin , to lemmyshitpost in They really appreciate it

Could probably do similar with Pakistan and India

thedirtyknapkin , to technology in Nintendo is suing the makers of the Switch emulator Yuzu, claims 'There is no lawful way to use Yuzu'

Do you have any idea how hard and expensive it is just to move out of the US without brining a company with you?

There’s no way they could afford that, even if they found a country that would take them.

thedirtyknapkin , to memes in The difference explained

Lol, saruman was more or less a theocratic monarchist with highly authoritarian practices like killing any who opposed his will. He literally used magic to dominate the wills of others. If anyone was leftist in that series it was the Hobbits. They were outright Communist with no government. Though there was certainly still a class structure of sorts there. It’s just tough to get a better look at Hobbit social politics. The books tend to just say “then they talked about their family history for 3 more hours” whenever it comes up.

Regardless, the stated intent of the story was to relay his experiences with war. Not with any political system. The forces of sauron and saruman just represented war itself. The feeling of its inevitable March towards you no matter how much you don’t want it and dread it. It’s very much how I’ve been feeling lately.

thedirtyknapkin , to asklemmy in When I placed a lamp next to a mirror where I can see "two lamps", does that double the light output? I know all the light that would have been wasted on the wall is now being returned so is it a yes?

You’re just changing the direction of that light with a mirror. Picture a light bulb vs a light bulb in a flashlight with that reflector dish behind it.

Walls also do this, but to a lesser extent. If your concern is wasting light then get a lamp with a reflective directional shade. You know, like the Pixar lamp.

thedirtyknapkin , to memes in There's way more than these two

“i know you love sticking your dick in everything, but try not to fuck this one”

top 20 one liners for me. she was one of my favorites in that series.

thedirtyknapkin , to nostupidquestions in How do I brew this brick of tea?

from the other comments this sounds like kind of a fancy and particular tea. maybe you could offer to share some with someone nearby that has the tools and skills to brew it properly. perhaps a fancy tea shop would be willing to brew it for you.

I know nothing about tea, but I love sharing food with friends. this seems perfect for that.

thedirtyknapkin , to world in Sydney school, supermarket tainted with asbestos as crisis widens

yeah, it’s actually a crystal of sorts. if you look closely at the fuzzy stuff it’s actually millions of tiny razor sharp crystals. like, they’re not even microscopic. it’s amazing that people just looked at it and went “I’m sure it’s fine” for so long.
