  • He's live action in those films. Only Sonic is CG.

    But I mean regardless, in his defense, they were good kids movies and he was great in them (in the genre of kids movie villain). But more importantly in his defense: he probably took a break, and got recharged. He's been pretty open about his mental health struggles, so he probably thought he would never come back unless it was amazing, took a break, got recharged, starting getting itchy to work/bored, and then he either liked the script, saw it as particularly low stress/fun, or just wanted some money.

  • The issue is a lot of teetotalers don't drink anything because of their existing health conditions, really bad obesity, hypertension, liver problems, etc. So those that don't drink at all are actually less healthy than the average population, and those that drink in moderation are obviously healthier than those who drink a lot. So the results look like moderate drinking is the most healthy but there's an (or a lot of) omitted variable bias.

  • Plastics may degrade, but (as others have mentioned) if a plastic one lasts 10+ years

    Micro plastics can be released as soon as a water bottle is first filled. This isn't the structural integrity of the plastic failing, it's your endocrine system and who knows what else being affected by tiny pieces of plastic that start shedding immediately.

    Look, I'm not saying this isn't a cash grab because the serial inventor who made the aero press sold a controlling stake in his company and the new firm is squeezing as much money out as they can before the patent expires, BUT some of us do care about micro plastics. Not that I give my daughter coffee, but now that I have a toddler we've eliminated as much food related plastic as we can.

    Stuff is genuinely damaging and yet we keep using it because it's convenient. And people wonder why the Romans used lead containers.

  • What's crazy is "Fred" used to mean the exact, literal opposite. It's the only word I know of that has come to mean the full opposite of what it meant (except maybe "literally", but that's usually used for emphasis)

    Fred used to mean the dude who showed up in jeanshorts on a huffy, who everyone was like "are you sure you want to join the group ride?", and then he ends up pulling the pack the whole way. Somewhere along the line it ended up meaning dentist, which is the slow dude who buys all the expensive gear. I literally don't understand it.

  • I just replaced the honk in my car today, so I can assure you they very much do.

    In related news, Subaru has yet to do a recall on a very important safety device going bad, despite the Internet being awash with 2016-2018 Outbacks having bad clocksprings. At least it's a relatively easy fix.

  • I'm actually dumb and my Garmin tracks my steps, so I DO know exactly how many I take (27,689 weekly). Damn I need to use my treadmill desk more consistently. That's low.

    I saw in other comments wearables don't work. That's kind of a bummer. I like to leave my phone charging on my desk and let the watch track.

  • FreeCAD is free and parametric. It's what I use after Fusion changed their subscriptions around. I don't need to be forced into a subscription once I put in the time to learn how software works, thank you very much.

  • Anyone using bots that are openly bots would be limiting their shit to robots.txt. Anyone who is out trawling the whole website is probably obfuscating what they're doing by spoofing new user agents.

  • Yeah I didn't realize votes were essentially public already. This will 100% change my voting patterns. The problem is, I'm an idealist who still follows old school reddit voting guidelines of "this adds to the conversation" or not..so I upvote stuff I don't agree with as long as it is well thought out, well said, or at least civil and trying to have a good conversation. When I remember to, I also tend to downvote vitriolic nonsense or pithy nothing comments even if I agree with the values, because I don't think it helps anyone to have annoying angry echo chambers. That's like...the entire Internet right now, and Lemmy is already bad enough with that. It doesn't need to get worse by making sure everyone is voting in lockstep lest they get brigaded (which there are no inherent protections against).

  • Yeah no prob. I think most people just...don't read their owners manuals. Not just sedan owners either. You see it with big trucks too where people haul stuff that's WAY too heavy for their brakes, or load trailers with the weight all towards the back (asking for fishtailing). Sometimes I think it's a miracle any of us survive day to day.
