- Comment on Nuclear energy enjoyers vindicated again after the rise in oil and gas prices. 1 day ago:
Immediate silent death is grossly over exaggerating. Even in Chernobyl which was absolute worst case scenario that can’t happen with modern designs, the “immediate death” area was directly around the plant.
The concern is cancer in 30 years, not immediate death. Not that trying to downplay cancer, but it really only makes it uninhabitable for humans who live much longer than 30 years. A lot of wildlife basically doesn’t notice since their lives are shorter. It doesn’t mean we should be cavalier about irradiating the environment, but there is no need to go around calling it immediate death.

Ok, so they are fucked either way. The gas pumps will still not work in cities either.
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 1 week ago:
People conveniently forget that gas pumps are powered by electricity also. A person with solar panels and an ev is going to be in a much better situation in a large scale power outage than someone with a gas car.

I understand what veracrypt is, i don’t understand willingly using an operating system that constantly violates your privacy at every given opportunity.

Or don’t use an operating system that uploads your encryption keys to their corporate servers for “backup”.

So it sounds like cafestol is the most potent cholesterol synthesis agonists, but that it is in such small amounts in the beans that using a paper filter essentially eliminates it entirely. Even without a paper filter, its low enough that the studies show that you would need to drink more than 4 cups a day of unfiltered coffee for it to start having any sort of impact.

Do you have a source on that?

But why?
why not just down up normally and have a cleanup job on a schedule to get rid of any orphans?

I think assassinated is the appropriate term here as it’s politically motivated.

Here is a paper on the relationship between heat and battery degradation
- Comment on The "standard" car charger is usually overkill—but your electrician might not know that [32:26] 8 months ago:
Any AC load you can throw at an EV is effectively “slow charging”. My car supports a maximum of 9.6kw from an AC charger, but up to 150kw from DC fast chargers. Even with the fast charging, its not like a phone, it has active thermal management which will cool the battery and slow down the charging if it gets too hot. phones don’t really have that and is mainly why they degrade faster if quick charged.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 11 months ago:
The big thing for me with plex is user management. I am absolutely knowledgeable enough to set up jellyfin, but i dont want to deal with user management. Plex makes it easy, i tell them to make their own account and i just share my library. i dont have to reset passwords, they can do that themselves. However, it’s getting to the point where i will probably just switch to jellyfin and deal with it because of how bad plex is getting.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 11 months ago:
Yes, it’s one thing to offer a lifetime subscription early on to get a large cash infusion and reward early adopters, but it’s a big red flag if they don’t get rid of the lifetime subscription eventually. What will happen is one by one, the people that use the service the most will switch to lifetime and your cash flow will dwindle. Eventually the only people left on the month to month are the casual users who don’t use it very often and will leave as soon as a price increase happens.
- Comment on Qualcomm and Google team up to offer 8 years of Android updates 1 year ago:
Have you looked at grapheneOS? Its essentially a fork of the android open source project with extra privacy features. So, regular android apps still work for the most part, but you dont have google spyware built in.

It does ok with that. better than the default model, but worse than the built in search on my phone.

The best one I have found was one of the newer ones that was added a few months ago. ViT-B-16-SigLIP__webli Really impressed with the accuracy even with multi word search like “espresso machine”
