Well done. So even added to the electrical consumption it’s less than an incandescent bulb. Incredible.
- Comment on brains! 1 day ago:
It was estimated back when incandescent was standard.
Keep in mind that’s not accounting for energy consumed from neurons burning oxygen, which accounts for 20% of a human body’s consumption.

I’d be down if the kept Scrooge’s cane pogo from the original game. It was the only way to play.
- Comment on Trump’s FCC chair is Brendan Carr, who wants to regulate everyone except ISPs 5 days ago:
Carr wants to end the “censorship cartel?” All of the current internet censorship is Republican state legislation on pornography. I’m pretty sure those are staying in place.

- Comment on Trump nominates fracking magnate and climate change skeptic as energy secretary 6 days ago:
“There is no climate crisis and we are not in the midst of an energy transition either,” he said, adding that “the term carbon pollution is outrageous” because all life depended on carbon dioxide.
“There is no such thing as clean energy or dirty energy, all energy sources have impacts on the world both positive and negative,” he added.
Trump is setting up a race between climate change, pandemics, and world war.

It doesn’t work that way with advertising. They need to go where their customers go. Bots don’t buy.

- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 3 weeks ago:
This is the main factor.
The second factor is manufacturer/model specific. Cleaning up the wave after conversion to DC is handled by the power adapter down to +/-5% tolerance for PD, for example. Manufacturers with lower tolerance designs will sometimes move the hardware for any additional refinement of the wave to the power adapter in order to reduce the size of the device.

The landlord of a pub called The Pig And Whistle asked a sign writer to make a new sign. When he saw it he thought that the words were too close together so he said to the sign writer “I want more space between Pig and And and And and Whistle”.
- Comment on Danny DeVito is an absolute unit. 4 weeks ago:
Plenty of Americans prefer metric. Scientists, technicians, bakers, hell even surveying is done with a metricized foot. That’s why height measurements of buildings and mountains are done to the tenth of a foot and not feet and inches.

They may require real-world credentials to create an account to prevent that.

Who would you have define hate speech in the US? SCOTUS?
Citizens may agree on the definition, but I wouldn’t trust our government to draw those lines.

I’ve been guilty of that- commenting before checking what community the post was in. Thankfully, I’ve found that most people outside of the US prefer gentle correction. Unfortunately, I doubt the average person from the US would show the same courtesy if the roles were reversed.

- Comment on The Border Patrol Union on Harris 1 month ago:
But again, where has she been the last 3 1/2 years?
Good question. PBS has the answer.
Harris was never the “border czar,” or put in charge of border security or halting illegal border crossings, as former President Donald Trump, Republicans and even the occasional media outlet have claimed. Instead, she was tasked in March 2021 with tackling the “root causes” of migration from the Northern Triangle and pushing its leaders — along with Mexico’s — to enforce immigration laws, administration officials said.
She focused her time and prestige on boosting private investment in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, the so-called Northern Triangle; her goal was to help create jobs to bolster economies and dissuade migrants from making the perilous journey to the United States.

She was assigned the task of reducing flow to the border, not through it.
