• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Figuring Out The Most Efficient Way To Reuse Bags Of Desiccant⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool video. TL;DR : heating dessicant works to remove moisture from it. This applies to loose dessicant as well as the bagged ones. Microwaving at the lowest power level works rather well and what the author said they will do from now on. Downsides are that sometimes the microwave pops/damages the dessicant because of the excessive heat (meaning the packs begin to wear out over repeated reheating times) or some packaging types melting. Microwaves work pretty fast as well.

  A another option is a mini oven at 110 degrees which takes longer than the microwave but doesn’t damages dessicant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBO should use a different bumper for streaming.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  NPR did a podcast on those “bumpers” (there’s a term that I don’t recall). HBO wanted to change theirs for the reason you indicated as well as the fact that it was rather long compared to Netflix’s and others. They paid a lot of money to develop others and also do testing\ polling with end users. The original beat out all the rest because it’s been their bumper for so long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the fuck do you meet new people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Social events like bars and raves are an option. You’ll find people who just want to get shit faced, but also social people. Volunteer work has a lot of people you can interact with and eventually become friends with. Game places are another option as mentioned. Video games as well. If you have a dog, parks are a way to start conversations and meet people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine links Kursk incursion to ‘fair talks’ as Russia closes in on key city⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt its solely for that reason. My understanding with wars of attrition, land grabbing isn’t really important and can actually be detrimental (in cases of higher than usual losses) unless you are removing important resources from the enemy. Land is a form of resource, but major factories, oil refineries would probably have a larger impact against Russia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine links Kursk incursion to ‘fair talks’ as Russia closes in on key city⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s kinda feeling then that Ukraine is doing this invasion as a last ditch effort to get peace talks before Russia takes over pokrovsk. Not a great sign for Ukraine it seems. I’m hoping others have more positive insights

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the US finally getting ‘all aboard’ with electric trains?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re missing price. Compare your trip to Public transit costs, and include infrastructure costs. You had to pay for your vehicle, your car insurance (which in the US there are irresponsibly low legal minimums), registration, gas, and also taxes for the infrastructure, to get yourself somewhere which takes up more room than needed (usually several times more room than a combination lf walking and public transit). Public transit only requires fare pricing, along with infrastructure, which is significantly cheaper per person due to more efficient use of space.

  Compare many European metro cities to the US, and you’ll notice their public transit is more convenient (in the characteristics you have pointed out) because we decided to shut ourselves in the foot as a country and forced everyone to have to get a car payment, while making public transit bad.

  Of course, public transit isn’t convenient for every area, such as rural towns in which personal vehicles are a better solution, but we have many cities where there should be significantly better public transit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the US finally getting ‘all aboard’ with electric trains?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Personal transportation is extremely inefficient. You need to pay a bunch of money for something, in order to get around, and it is always space inefficient, bad for the environment and encouraged parking lot creation over housing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TSMC Arizona struggles to overcome vast differences between Taiwanese and US work culture⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, my understanding is it’s also university, regardless, it seems like a plan of build it and people will come. a bit problematic when a competitor can offer similar pay with less abuse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TSMC Arizona struggles to overcome vast differences between Taiwanese and US work culture⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine, from what’s indicated on the market, that they don’t which is why TSMC is investing in schools of the area to get students trained to work with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump’s ‘no choice’ comment on EVs reveal partisan divide over green tech⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason Chinese EVs are so cheap is because China subsidizes them immensely. They’re basically selling below cost, and expecting private US companies to compete with that impossible price. As long as we allow competitors from other countries in, as well as pushing for electric vehicle usage, the prices will drop. Man companies won’t be able to sell gas cars after 2035 in many large states and countries. People would rather buy an older used gas car than a very expensive electric I bet.

  This may be one of the better options if epoxy or something else doesn’t work. I think a larger hardware store would have these.

  Don’t think you should listen to the other guy at face value. The market for your skills is very bad right now. Ensure you don’t lose your job, but definitely feel comfortable looking around for something better. When the market feels better and you’re getting reached out to a lot, then be more assertive at work.
