Also we do have the ability to re-utilize waste in different types of reactors until it is essentially entirely spent. There is a complete cycle available. Nobody talks about it though because you know, not as cost-effective

Have you seriously never just had that one moment where your hands were full and you needed the keys out of your hand for a second but you knew you were about to need the keys again shortly so you just put them in your mouth real quick so that you can do what you need to do and then grab the keys again

Your not too dumb to learn linux. I know it seems scary, and a lot of the autistic people that like it will try to convince you it’s only for really smart people. But at the end of the day a lot of basic tasks are actually easier on linux. There are some that are harder gaming used to be very difficult for example. Although thanks to valve, and the steam deck for the most part if it’s a steam game you can just click play and it’s probably going to work.

But as an example of a more basic thing, let’s say you want to install an application.

Windows: go to Google, type app name, make sure it’s the real actual website officially for that app and not a sponsored result or some other fake website, find the download, pray it’s not buried in a bunch of fake download buttons, double click the exe, be careful to make sure it’s not installing any toolbars or other packaged bullshit, finally get your application.

Linux: there are some variations (apt dnf pacman) but all of them work the same, for arch it’s “pacman -Syu <name of app>” id argue thats WAY easier. If it’s not in the main repos chances are high it’s in the AUR (arch user repository) so you just yay -Syu <name of app>. It’s not harder (imo) just different.

I’ve actually had a number of pretty average computer user friends let me help them transition to Linux because of the crap Windows is doing lately. And after getting used to the differences they agree that Linux is not actually harder, it’s just different, they grew up with windows, they are used to how things are done on windows, so it seemed difficult just because it wasn’t the same. But once they got used to it they would actually agree that a lot of things are actually easier.

Now whether or not you want to put in that time to learn those differences, and change how you use your computer, is an entirely different question that you have to ask yourself. But you are not too stupid to learn Linux because realistically it’s not any more difficult than Windows is

This, I have been using it for many many years. I wouldn’t call it perfect but it’s better than the other options in my opinion

I can however, store my entire life history of notes and shopping lists inside the sd card

This is great to hear, now maybe hire some more developers to make it work so i can switch. I desperately want to ditch plex, and i have jellyfin installed along side it for testing. It still regularly fails at basic content matching, playback of various files, and has significantly worse transcoding performance than plex.

So while I’m desperate to escape them as they charge for basic features like tone mapping I’m also stuck until an alternative is at least as usable as plex. It’s the one thing i don’t have an open source self host for at this point.

I’ve got immich for photos, Seafile for storage, my own pastebin, a piped instance (YouTube front end), a whoogle instance and several other self host alternatives. Really hoping jellyfin can take over for plex

People are wildly impatient about the dumbest things. I’ve been trying to push heat pump dryers because they use like a fourth of the electricity of a standard electric dryer but people don’t want to because it takes slightly longer to dry heavy things like towels. But they have the added benefit of using very little heat because they’re abusing the fact that they are condensers and are making the air very very dry so they don’t need as much heat so they are far gentler on clothing

But they just hard refuse Despite the fact i know for an absolute fact all these people wait fucking hours after dryer is done to collect it or move it around. So it’s a worthless argument

Then the car could just turn to the closest side and grind on the barrier to stop itself ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Given the amount of distance between that car and the crosswalk, and the fact that it’s a crosswalk meaning the car is not going to be traveling at freeway speeds. I would hazard a third option and say maybe just kind of lightly press on the brakes? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It’s a little weird at first but you very quickly get used to it, it’s now to the point that when I’m forced to use toilet paper that is now weird and uncomfortable. I have a fancier bidet that has a drying function which is essentially just a miniature hair dryer pointed at your ass but when I’m in a hurry I literally just use a hand towel.

Butt towels are surprisingly common for bidet users because you’re literally just drying water, the bidet has fucking power blasted any sign of shit away so the towel will never get any marks or streaks on it

It’s genuinely difficult going back to toilet paper once you get used to a bidet. It’s just so much better in every way

The US is the worst offending nation but many others will fail for the same reason. Was just heading off the “but this one small place with specific economics did it” comments

An almost immeasurable amount? It’s how goods are transported, enables a vastly larger pool of workers due to how far they can travel, and is a continuous source of work for an entire sector

It shouldn’t be, but I don’t live in Fairy Tail land, I live in the real world. And as sad as it is the fact of the matter is if it’s not profitable it’s not happening. At least not in the US, so unless the population finally chooses the band together tear down the current structure and basically change overnight I have to ask for realistic possible solutions

It’s just not going to happen, it’s way too slow to become profitable. There are plenty of nuclear power plants in production that have been in production for 40 years that still aren’t profitable.

Storage is going to have to be the thing that makes up for the instability of solar and wind, whether it be in the form of heat storage, hydrogen production, fly wheels, or some breakthrough in Battery Tech.

Yeah helldivers is the least annoying. Even IF you dropped thousands you can’t buy medals so you still have to play to unlock

Usually it’s one flag that actually does something, surrounded by about 8 to 9 flags that do absolutely nothing. “flag soup” as developers like to call it. People add all of them at once and so they assume all of them are doing something when in reality only one of them did anything at all

No need, you can just look at the source code and see that that flag is not defined anywhere. It’s not going to do anything it’s not even being parsed it’s just getting ignored. The creator of dxvk complains about this all the time. People piling on completely useless or redundant flags and spreading them everywhere.

Honestly the site is kind of useless, every time I look at it games that work perfectly out of the box with no changes will practically say that they don’t work at all and vice versa games that don’t work at all will say they run without issue.

Not to mention the amount of people putting literally fucking hundreds of completely worthless flags that actually do literally nothing whatsoever in the code swearing left right and Center that it does something. I kind of wish that site would just disappear

As a husky owner i feel this for different reasons. Fur, fur everywhere always forever
