A general strike would be effective but it will never happen because there is no safety net. For most people, participating in a general strike would mean starving. Most people in the US live paycheck to paycheck. If they don’t work then they don’t get paid then they don’t get to eat and likely wind up evicted when they can’t recover from the missed pay. Our oligarchs have worked very hard to build a system where a general strike is functionally impossible.

You don’t need to hold crypto to pay with crypto. You just only buy exactly enough to make your payment right when you are going to do so. Yes you’re still buying crypto but you’re also immediately cashing out so there’s no risk of being caught holding the bag.

If LLMs weren’t so damn sycophantic,
Has anyone made a nonsycophantic chat bot? I would actually love a chatbot that would tell me to go fuck myself if I asked it to do something inane. Me: “Whats 9x5?” Chatbot: “I don’t know. Try using your fingers or something?”

No it definitely isn’t I’ve never heard of honey on pancakes only on toast. Maple syrup is the normal pancake topping. We actually can get the real stuff pretty easily where I am too because Minnesota is practically Canada.

I’m a usaian and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of pancakes with honey. Could be a regional thing though. The country is a big place.
- Comment on How to get greasy spots out of wooden cutting board properly? 2 months ago:
There is literal food grade mineral oil for this exact purpose along with lubricating food making equipment. It’s basically completely inert and is sometimes even used as a food ingredient. You can straight up drink a jug of the stuff with no health repercussions other than the violent greasy shits you would get from drinking any oil. Just because it’s a petroleum product doesn’t automatically mean its bad for you.

- Comment on Humans May Be Able to Grow New Teeth Within Just 4 Years 2 months ago:
It’s the same study that’s been in process for about a decade. It entered human trials last year with those trials expected to take 5 years. Growing teeth is slow. It’s not really being pushed, it’s just the same reliable hit for various news sites to break out on slow news days.

- Comment on Someone has a LOT of dusty computers 3 months ago:
At that point just buy a a 5lb CO2 tank. That’s what I use in my work van. It’s a bit more expensive upfront but it’ll last longer, it’s refillable, higher pressure, and the cost of refills makes it cheaper per pound of gas. If you want to get really fancy then you also put a regulator on it so you aren’t dusting as 700 PSI but that’s optional. Plenty of my coworkers just tap straight off the tank.
- Comment on YSK: The Lethal Danger Of Combining Welding And Brake Cleaner 3 months ago:
Normally phosgene isn’t quite that deadly. If you catch it full concentration then you’re in for a bad time as your lungs start blistering but that definitely isn’t something that happens from a small leak unless its also in a confined space. I’ve gotten a face full of phosgene a few times on the job and you definitely notice it. Idk what it smells like because to me it just smells like pain. It feels like you just took a huff off a bottle of drain cleaner. If you get hit with enough of it, it’ll leave you short of breath and your chest burning but the only time I ever got hit with that much was the time I took a plasma cutter to an old refrigerant can I had forgotten to purge with nitrogen first while working in a closed garrage.
Suffice it to say, you would definitely know it if you got exposed to any significant amount of phosgene.
- Comment on YSK: The Lethal Danger Of Combining Welding And Brake Cleaner 3 months ago:
Fun fact older refrigerants also broke down into phosgene under high temps. The old school way to identify a compressor burn out was to take a whiff of the refrigerant. If your sinuses started burning from the phosgene then that means you need to do a burn out cleanup.
Newer refrigerants are much more safe, they just break down into hydrogen floride which turns into hydroflouric acid on contact with water. Nothing leaves you quite as invigorated as hydroflouric acid suddenly forming in your lungs, sinuses, throat, and eyes.

- Comment on same shit every day, on god 3 months ago:
We’ll need a shit ton of that purple PVC glue though.
Nope, because you can’t use PVC for piping steam. You’re going to need to use metal pipe. Iron pipe is the cheapest bet but it’s such a pain to work with. Personally I’d run copper. I think that’s to code for low pressure steam anyways.
Wait, if it’s going into space then whos building codes are we using?

- Comment on how do plants in a green house get enough co2? 3 months ago:
Plants don’t actually use up all that much CO2. An entire greenhouse worth of plants wouldn’t even consume as much CO2 as your body produces. Most oxygen produced on earth and CO2 consumed is done by algae. Land plants like trees can sequester more CO2 because they grow larger and use it to build their bodies but they do so slowly over the course of years.
So I guess plants don’t suffocate in greenhouses for the same reason that you wouldn’t if you sat around in a greenhouse. There is enough air infiltration through cracks and gaps in the walls that sufficient air gets exchanged to keep it breathable.

- Comment on How would I make a HVAC simulator to see what a thermostat would do if the indoor temp was 400°F 4 months ago:
HVAC-R tech here.
Not sure what you mean about simulating high temps on the thermostat. If you want to trick the thermostat into seeing a higher temp than it is actually at then you would need to find the temp sensor on the thermostat (usually a thermistor) and replace it with something where you can manually control the input like a potentiometer if there was a thermistor there.
If you’re talking about simulating calls from your thermostat to your hvac system, then you can usually do that with just some jumper wires if your hvac system has a built in transformer (almost all new systems do). You just remove the thermostat and jumper the hot wire (R or Rc) to whatever call you want to make.

heat pumps don’t actually create heat
🤓 ACKSHUALLY
Heat pumps create a fair bit of heat due to friction and electrical resistance in the compressor.

That still requires a turbine to turn the steam into electricity. If turbines are the shortage then nuclear doesn’t solve the shortage.
