I don't understand how this is related to the post you replied to

People can easily find tools for bulk editing/deleting Reddit comments. They can't easily use them.

Power Delete Suite is a bookmarklet. It's installed by clicking the link in the Github readme, going off to a CodePen, and clicking and dragging the resulting red button to the Favorites Tab.

Probably greater than 90% of Redditors who are interested in using it wouldn't know how and would give up. I'm guessing the number is actually closer to 100% than it is to 90%.

They don't have a mental model of what a bookmarklet is. They don't even have a mental model of what a URL or browser address bar is, much less dragging something to their favorites bar and going through two levels of redirects ("you got the latest version!"... "you need to be on your reddit profile page!") before they hit a page that lets them bulk delete comments.

It's relevant to the point that that post was replying to. "I couldnt find a better way to do it and neither will the average reddit user who has 1000s of comments."

The level of understanding (or level of willingness to figure out a more optimal way or even conceive that a more optimal way is available) of the typical computer user (which is probably not that far from the typical reddit user, because reddit is a mass-appeal site) is shockingly low. I've seen people with science PhDs open their browser to their default search engine page [Bing], type in Google, search for it, click on the resulting link, and then type their search query. Those people are not going to be finding the "easy delete script".

Lemmy also isn't blocked as a social networking site at my work. I assume its the same elsewhere

Same. HN has been my replacement for now. I'll look into Lemmy, but it's nice here.

Thank you. I was lost after they removed the cached version button on Google results. The link got progressively buried before it disappeared, I think.

The Just Rolled In channel is good for a laugh. Although it is a little terrifying knowing that these people are on the road with you.

What stuck with me (I couldn't finish it either) was the difference between the main character and his friend's attitude to maintenance issues. Specifically the soda can shim situation. His friend had a loose handle bar or something, and the solution was a metal shim. The friend refused to "use trash as a shim" (a piece of aluminum can) and would rather pay someone at a shop to fix it. That sort of world view is something that always really irked me, but I never know how to describe it.

When the lease expires, the same IP is prioritized for renewal. Leases are generally for a week or two, but I've noticed dynamic IPs staying for 3 months or more. Swapping modems is really the best way to get a new external IP.

I'd like to point out that wood 100 years ago was mostly old growth, which differs drastically to the lumber available today.

Modern mass timber more than corrects that problem. It does a fantastic job using fast growing, new growth lumber to produce highly precise parts that are factory produced exactly to spec to nearly eliminate waste.

Highly precise lumber parts sounds like an oxymoron. The standard assumption for wood is that it's only straight while it's being cut. If they've invented fix for that, it's not gonna be the wood that they're using that does it, but some extra processing to make like a particle board or something

Modern mass timber has advanced a long way beyond cheap particle board. Read up on cross laminated timber. Manufactured and cut exactly to size and often requires no cutting on site.
