bryceacc··on How I got my laser eye injury
Last year I went to a karaoke dance floor club thing in NYC k-town and I saw literal burn marks on the wall. A spinning laser disco thing continuously traced across the burn mark. I got our group the hell out of there but they only agreed to leave because it was too loud

bryceacc··on Process for mass producing Japanese 500 yen coins
can that really be counted as a coin anymore... it's just a 10kg cylinder with a nice pattern
bryceacc··on Improving deep sleep may prevent dementia, study finds
agreed, any drowsy things seem to turn off weird parts of my brain but im left feeling like an awake zombie
bryceacc··on Improving deep sleep may prevent dementia, study finds
that seems to be associated with benadryl:

which is sometimes used for it's drowsy effect. cetirizine/loratidine are non-drowsy and I don't see any association known with dementia

bryceacc··on Live near your friends
>Opposite sex friendships just don’t make sense

that's an extremely poor judgment right off the bat, so i am not surprised by the downvotes. The second paragraph then sounds like they would rather sit in silence with another woman than have the chance of an interaction being interpreted incorrectly

i think you would need more than the syringe and arm power backflush to really restore a good flow over years, but hey it's only 30 bucks and mine has been working for 4 years

bryceacc··on Tell HN: My Reddit account was banned after adding my subs to the protest
am I using discord wrong? I see it as a chat and voice client, reddit has wiki's and posts... I have no idea how to discover old content that has been posted in discord besides searching but that's not really "discovering" in my mind. I can scroll through some top posts of all time in a subreddit to see what it's all about. How do you do that in discord right after joining a server?
bryceacc··on Toyota: Car location data and videos of 2M customers exposed for ten years
do you know if there are easy equivalents for other car brands? when I bought my new car in 2019 I also wanted to disable any built in GPS/Data connection but it was hard to find any instruction if nobody else had done it or documented it yet. subaru if you happen to know!

edit: hah, should have just googled it first. looks like people are trying it out more now

moving my fingers on a trackpad is way better than stabbing my meat stick on a screen in terms of accuracy and personal energy use

what apps have you had this issue with?
bryceacc··on I bought a CO2 monitor and it broke me
i have massive conflict with co2 monitoring, just like this article. I have monitored my air for years, mostly for PM levels from fires but co2 came with it. I became obsessed with lowering the co2 at the expense of cold temperatures, but I have never noticed a "cognitive" difference between 2k ppm and outside. instead I just feel physical unrest with seeing the high number, like I am suffocating on this "clearly bad air". Yet I am certain if I was completely unaware of it I would have no issues. Any time friends come over and it's winter, ppm in an apartment would be 2500+ and nobody cares
bryceacc··on A Fix-It-Yourself Trend for Appliances (1983)
I've monitored the electricity usage of the original 30yr old fridge my house has. It uses about 980kwh a year with today's energy prices costing about $400. If I got a new generic fridge ($630) with the energy star rating of 332kwh a year, that would save a whopping $265 a year. That's a 2.5yr break even. If you get a fancy fridge costing double the price and using double the energy it doesn't make as much sense

bryceacc··on My best techniques for evaluating character
i think the final point about using these techniques on oneself is the most valuable of all. I can see point 5 applying to myself the most. But I am also glad I don't feel the need to "analyze" every person I meet with a rubric, that sounds tiring

sure about that? How about these "social activities"

bryceacc··on Tik Tok is a national security threat
it really is just the foreign aspect of it. the meta apps, google apps, uber, etc all do the exact same things. They just aren't owned by a foreign nation
bryceacc··on Apple Announces iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus
would be nice, but garmin inReach is very specific in their wording to make sure you know that if you don't have an active subscription, your SOS call will NOT work. Subscription is the standard now so doubt apple would do differently. I was genuinely surprised by the 2 years free though. Garmin inReach mini is a $350 device with 0 free function out of the box without the subscription
