Lucky fly. It’s still so hot in Houston.

It’s like that “charge your iphone in the microwave” image that went around for a while but writ large and in language tailored to be more convincing.

A poisoning that’s rarely seen anymore but used to be more common. The heaps of data on bromism over the decades must not have made it into the training data.

They are paid services. The ad companies pay the services for access to the services resources.
- Comment on Bungie CEO Pete Parsons retires: With Destiny 2 sentiment at an all-time low and pressure from Sony growing, Parsons has decided it's time to 'pass the torch' and head for an exit 5 days ago:
I didn’t know destiny 2 was still going. I played it for like a year after release before getting tired of it but it was fun enough. The only game I’ve played since then was elden ring so I’m not real up on the times

You have an accent aggue on your name, so I’m inclined to believe you, but so do I. I do I don’t know how much authority it really imbues. Can you be trusted?
- Comment on What's good to know before transferring from Emergency to Operation Room as a nurse? 1 week ago:
Go to the OR. I worked ED a long time and my happiest coworkers left for either OR or specials. You already do recovery and patient education as an ER nurse. I prefer ermds to surgeons usually but that’s just whatever. ER is better if you’re trying to climb the corporate ladder but you can do that from anywhere if you join enough committees. If you already have hem/onc floor experience I would look at ambulatory infusion center too. Once you get certified it’s cake and I loved the work/patients when I was there briefly. I don’t want to be down on the ED but most people know in less around a year if they can tolerate it long term. RN stands for refreshments and narcotics right?
- Comment on CATL announces sodium batteries that cost as little as $10/kWh, a massive price reduction compared to the current average of $115/kWh for lithium-ion batteries. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, just double or so the amount of space you’d need for lifepo4. Good if you have some space
- Comment on Google tests ‘script blocking’ in Chrome Incognito to boost privacy 2 weeks ago:
Good on chrome I guess but if they are testing blocking js then I assume they are about to offer a less easy to block alternative

Chain mail scrubber. That’s my go to as well
- Comment on Router suggestions for a complete noob 2 weeks ago:
To add to this users data, I used my supplied att router for Homelab stuff for like a year and it worked very well. I did go back to openwrt but didn’t really need to, just for familiarity’s sake. My networking needs at the time were headscale/wireguard and adguard home. All my other services were unaffected by switching routers.

I thought the gardening in NZ thing was legit? Are there not foods you can buy in the store but are illegal to grow yourself?

I like <method of creating force> + hammer above nail gun but to your second point. Nail guns can be deadly without modification. Just close up work. They sell these and others like them at big box stores. This would be, in my favored naming convention, a gunpowder hammer.
- Comment on "ok, imagine a gun." 2 weeks ago:
Cool thx
- Comment on "ok, imagine a gun." 2 weeks ago:
I think press works for Caulk and glue. Stapler is used already for the machine that sits on a desk as opposed to the hand held construction style. Finger pointers is certainly descriptive but when people do “finger guns” the thumb usually mimics the hammer action. What else are they miming? Am I so inundated with gun culture I was unable to think of another use for the thumb?
I think bottles were around before firearms but Staple, nail and Caulk guns were not.
- Comment on "ok, imagine a gun." 2 weeks ago:
All the things you listed either shoot projectiles and/or have triggers. What else do you call trigger operated projectile launchers? Also Caulk guns legitimately look like old timey machine guns.

Thanks! I haven’t heard of the author or series so I’m pretty stoked to give it a try.
- Comment on Evolution of the k'chain che'malle, pretty much 3 weeks ago:
I’ve read it. While I appreciate it as a whole, and really like a good bit of it, I found enough of it to be a slog that I only recommend it to people who already read fantasy. Do you have any other recommendations in the same vein?

Maybe the whole corporate internet. Unless we’re forced into aol style portals by the death of net neutrality i think most of the lemmy user base will be fine. Shout-out to /c/self selfhosted for those looking to get ahead of the permission gate.

MaybeI’m wrong but I think you might oxidize all your produce faster. I do think you should try though.

They use potable water and they use evaporative cooling.
