  The funny thing is all of the pictured tools here use 18650s (or other standard sizes) in their battery packs. The plastic around them means nothing.

  You typed this on a device that would allow you to learn anything, including tool use, and instead you chose to use that time to publicly claim your own ineptitude. This statement does not come from a place of disdain, but from a lack of understanding of why people often choose not to use the collective human consciousness as a tool to better their situation by learning skills and applying them. The dude who fixed your toilet isn’t any different than you, except he knows how to do something you don’t. With internet you can change that with a few Google searches.

  Unless the dude is saying only film should be admissible, which doesn’t sound all that bad.

  If 1234 and 5678 don’t weigh the same youd need 4 seesaws in some cases

  There’s no change in the inflation rate, not denying the fact that inflation exists. All he’s saying is that it is not a parabolic increase, but a straight line.

  I could waste my time explaining or you could Google it. Long story short is that there are many ways to send information that don’t involve the internet at all, and you’d have to get a mid 90s car if you didn’t want any data sent at all. They got worse in around 2012 when more protocols were added as well

  Nope, still a privacy nightmare

  Weirdly enough the windows 11 start menu has gotten better.

  Also in rural America. How did you get someone not to laugh at you when you asked? God I fucking hate the small mindedness around me, but I couldn’t stand the city either. I cannot find someone to put one in my house so I’m going to have to install it myself next summer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Electric heat is not always 99.9% efficient, resistive heating is.

  Heat pumps are more than 100% efficient(compared to resistive heating)

  It’s not bs, because we are moving heat, not creating it. You thinking it is bullshit will not change the laws of thermodynamics. Try to think about it this way.

  “Cold” is a made up human concept, it really is a lack of heat energy. The coldest is 0K, but even a Midwest winter is waaaaaay above that. Heat pumps (and all refrigerant-based systems) work by changing the phase of the refrigerant from liquid to gas to cool, or by compressing a gas to a liquid. This phase change takes energy from the surrounding air (think about computer duster, the can gets cold) and then pipes it inside, where it can be compressed to release the heat it just picked up from outside. In the summer you flip the reverse switch to cool your house.

  Here is an explanation from someone much more eloquent than myself:youtu.be/7J52mDjZzto?si=sYlNlpvGnJs16lwk

  CPU aside, it’s best to wait for thunderbolt 5 to mature. Might finally be able to go to using one device for travel and an eGPU for gaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye biiiittttchhhh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought a 2002 Honda insight. One of the first hybrids, except the electric motor went out, so it’s all gas now. Still got slapped with an extra $150 so called “hybrid tax” so the state can subsidize a lower usage of gas that they would have received tax on. Literally incentivizes gasoline vehicles. What the fuck?

  It’s almost like there is an AstroTurfed campaign to get people to lose confidence in electric vehicles by talking about batteries, even though most first generation Prius batteries are doing just fine.
