if he mined the coins at home, he basically traded electricity his parents paid for. idk where they mine on this platform tho
- Comment on Should South Korea launch a preemptive attack on North Korea? 3 weeks ago:
Depends on bomb type, but Ukraines and russias region is gigantic compared to the region affected by bomb fallout.
If it wouldn’t be so bad for the wildlife, it would be a decent strategy for Ukraine to dirty bomb along the whole border to russia, so crossing it by land would mean cetain death within a week. It could even be on Ukraines side to demonstrate it’s a defensive measure. Dirty bombs are less difgicult to make and Ukraine has a lot of experience dealing with radioactive contamination, too.

Looking forward to the movie.
- Comment on Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome? 5 weeks ago:
Overdosing can be a suicide attempt. Sometimes however, the product is stronger than expected or takes longer than expected to have an effect and that causes accidental overdose.
In both cases mentally healthy people feel sorry for the person, because they were either in a tough spot and saw suicide as the only solution or they tried to feel good and had an accident instead. Some mentally healthy people supress their sadness though, which is a coping mechanism to not be overwhelmed by sorrow. They still feel it a bit, but focus on distractions etc.

- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 1 month ago:
Depends on how much you rely on it. If your contacts can’t phone or otherwise contact you for your new address, they’re gone.
If the services you use don’t mail you OTP codes on every log in, you can still log in using your old email and update it.
You can also contact customer support of some services and have them change it, using other ways to autheticate, e.g. physical letters with generated OTP codes.
- Comment on what can I use to cushion my knee when exercising with it on the floor so it doesn't hurt? 1 month ago:
you could get a cheap foam thermal mat and cut out the size you need. beware though, as it will roll up by itself when too small.

It goes bad too quick, esoecially once opened; even the vegan mayos (most vegan stuff has longer storage life tho, even unrefridgerated)

Wait, what did you just call me? 😄
- Comment on If there are motherboards and daughterboards, are there fatherboards and sonboards? 1 month ago:
You’re right, there can be some, like the pins for power button and LEDs. But CPU, RAM, Power, SATA, the external ones on the backpane etc are all female.

- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 2 months ago:
it’s best when you look for a job while you still have the old one. however, in my region there’s mandatory unemployment ensurance that will pay enough to keep you afloat for a few months between jobs
- Comment on What OS/ OSs for a core2 quad? 2 months ago:
any linux will work with that, just a few demanding things like some games, running big VMs or editing gigantic videos or pictures could become a problem
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I’m a shareholder and it’s worrying. The share’s aren’t going up any more and the dividends are laughable. It’s the top managers filling their pockets.
- Comment on Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST) 2 months ago:
btw, if you decide you want to use linux, build the PC for it. donpt build it now and then decide the OS. a lot of people have issues because they use linux with uncommon hardware meant for other OSes.
however, maybe try a liveUSB first. you can get used to it and decide if its for you.

- Comment on Massive E-Learning Platform Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over. 2 months ago:
there is no way they can use the AI to teach anything yet. AI lies like 30% of the time. idk what they will use it for; maybe for search, maybe to polish up presentation, but if they try and use it as a teacher it will fail spectacularly.
- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 2 months ago:
Unfortunately a lot of hardware doesn’t fit into small phones yet. You can still get small Androids, but no NFC, wireless charging, fingerprint sensor, etc…
I’m writing this on a Samsung S10e, which is the smallest waterproof one with all the nice features I could get at the time. I can do most things one-handed, but need the one-handed mode to reach the 30% of the screen in top corner furthest away from my thumb. pic related:
