- Comment on If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier? 1 week ago:
Yes. And you may even see a temporary exaggerated decrease depending on the force it is expelled.

What if you had eaten something that created a bunch of hydrogen gas (and lived somehow)? Wouldn’t standing on a precision scale at sea level, in a sea level atmospheric pressure and composition, show you getting heavier as you expel the hydrogen.

- Comment on How do I determine what a mystery dongle does? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know it’s proper name but “list” is an easy way to remember it. Want to see a list of what’s in a folder? ls.
- Comment on How do I determine what a mystery dongle does? 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, you should find lots of tutorials on identifying unknown devices in mint. It probably is a yubikey like others have said; but it would be a good tutorial to teach yourself a useful linux skill if you want to learn it.
- Comment on How do I determine what a mystery dongle does? 2 weeks ago:
What operating system did you put on it? Should be able to find it in your devices list. Or at least a mac address to work backwards from.
- Comment on You can (probably should) remove personal information from a photo before uploading it to social media 3 weeks ago:
I’m sure it can. I found several tutorials on how to add it to Dolphin’s right click context menu, I just haven’t taken the time to do it.

Lower your standards and close down some bars.

The line pressures are much higher when heating so the compressors are having to work harder. Plus some units have resistive heaters in the compressors that come on during low temps.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Hence my question: compared to its heating capabilities, does a heat pump use much more electricity for cooling?
In my experience, they seem to use slightly more electricity heating than cooling. I retrofitted my 120 year old home with inverter style heat pumps about a year ago and have been watching the energy use during temperature extremes.
They do seem a lot more susceptible to drafts than traditional central heat and air units; So making sure your doors and windows are sealed, and the attic (if you have one) is properly ventalated, will go a long ways towards helping their efficiency.
- Comment on Blocking communities doesn't work at all 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been using keyword blocking in ublock origins to clean up my all feed.
To do so, open up the uBlock Origin dashboard, go to the ‘My filters’ tab, and add this filter:
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3|word4/i)
For example:
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi/i)

- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 5 weeks ago:
Same here. It actually looks decent. But I’m in no hurry, I’ll wait on it until the ultimate edition is $20 and it’s been patched up.
- Comment on is lemmy.sdf.org running poorly for anyone else? 1 month ago:
the point when I can convince myself that the occasional slowness and downtime are reasonable
Small instances probably aren’t for you. If that was my main concern, I’d stick to major servers with more than just a couple people running it.
Personally I’m here for the atmosphere. Feels like the old internet. And as someone who has been around for the entirety of the internet; sometimes shit doesn’t work and you have to go do something else for a while.
Monthly recurring donation here. No ragrets.
- Comment on is lemmy.sdf.org running poorly for anyone else? 1 month ago:
It’s easily in the top spot for worst money I’ve ever spent on anything.
Seriously? The donation you made to a small instance is even in the ranking for worst money spent? Because there isn’t 100% uptime? You, my friend, must be a savvy shopper.
- Comment on Dogs should have tags with the name of their owners too 1 month ago:
Don’t worry, it’s still sufficiently janky. Apparently the databases containing all that info just disappear when the companies shut down.
- Comment on Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon 2 months ago:
No; I don’t think there will be.
- Comment on Safe to run a box fan face down? 2 months ago:
Anecdotal, but I ran a fan in that exact orientation for years with no issues. I used it for an overhead fan in a garage.

I think the word you are looking for is pedant.
Better vocabulary will help get your point across better. Without also sounding like an edgy atheist teen.
- Comment on Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever (Podcast 18mins) 2 months ago:
You 3D print something with no serial and it’s untraceable.
Except for all the metal parts they used a debit card/paypal to buy.
- Comment on New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why 3 months ago:
For what it’s worth I have yet to actually physically see a new vehicle without an oil dipstick.
It seems to be mostly a euro thing. BMW stopped using oil dipsticks nearly 2 decades ago. Land Rover also somewhere in the late 00’s.
But I agree it’s a moronic idea. Not only does it prevent you from checking oil condition like you said; if it’s after an oil change, it takes about 15min just to check the level (and another 15 if you messed it up). At $150+/hr shop rates, that adds up.
- Comment on The original Stalker trilogy is getting a free upgrade that brings in reworked lighting, full controller support, and more 3 months ago:
Hell yeah. This will help scratch that Stalker itch while the newest one gets a little more time in the oven.
- Comment on Very gently, I’m sure 3 months ago:
ABS would be better in that regard, it has a higher plasticity and less likely to fragment. But the one in the OP is PVC. ABS pipe is black.
- Comment on Very gently, I’m sure 3 months ago:
Fun fact: PVC doesn’t show up on x-rays. So when this thing turns into shrapnel and embeds itself in your abdomen; doctors get to just hunt around and hope they get all the pieces.
- Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter 3 months ago:
Yeah a plated dirt bike rules (as long as your commute is less than ~20mi). Gets 75mpg, goes literally anywhere (even where it’s not supposed to), and you look cool doing it.
