• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I see that sentiment on every battery news, but it sure seems to me like battery tech is advancing quite drastically. Are there over-hyped headlines and articles pumping up tech that isn’t anywhere near completion? Sure, but meanwhile EVs have become a thing, house batteries, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  One thing missing from the list is disguising your gait/walk. I don’t know how far along they are with reconciling databases about it, but the technology to identify you by the way you walk already exists. I hear adding a pebble in your shoe helps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta Patented AI That Takes Over Your Account When You Die, Keeps Posting Forever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not creepy at all!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can people irl be as mean as some people online?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just meant, they are exactly as mean online as they are in real life, it’s not that they’re particularly mean just direct and no filter so less of a difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borrowing money against their stuff to get more stuff to borrow money...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact, in German the entire Bible is just one word!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can people irl be as mean as some people online?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only the Dutch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ultimate "flex"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to imagine that Americans from the random states in the middle with perfectly rectangular shapes do the same thing, but since it’s just rectangles, no one realises it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fashion show prank actually is in favor of the industry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Max Fosh went on to do a whole bunch more crazy shit, funny to see how he’s presented as this unknown guy here. His videos are a bit too young-coded for my old ass but I do enjoy watching one now and then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do it, imagine it sounds good, the stage trick you’d gain!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ruining my life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should do that both in times of peace, and in times of war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the end there’s just a massive mountain of empty wrappers on the couch, they stay there until the next morning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Considering that LLMs are trained on the whole of the internet, it's kind of amazing that they don't talk back to you like a condescending, smug asshole⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not every day you see a casual “cromulent” being thrown around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As the other person already said, not totally relevant to the discussion at hand, but I do find that bit of trivia fascinating. The processing power version makes so much more sense logically, but it was put to the wayside by production executives because they thought the average movie-goer wouldn’t get it, since computing was still somewhat niche at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've Hit The Perfect Weight⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That reflection does not look like 123kg to me, how??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Either that or folks will happily shovel the slop into their eyeballs and lose all critical thinking ability. It’s a toss-up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  World of Warcraft. I’m honestly at my happiest when all I have to worry about are dailies and raids. Unfortunately, that’s not compatible with family life, my work, etc etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people eat this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a Brit but I would add the different pies/shepherd pies etc to that list. But really I don’t think you can not count the imported cuisine because I do love getting Indian, Caribbean, etc when I’m there. Even Italian TBH you can get some nice pizza (but not quite like Italy obviously).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The French use “Visio” kinda like a generic term to talk about a video call (short for visio-conférence), I find that much better already than that W nonsense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teach me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m willing to do both, just not consistently…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they different shapes?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of cutting it off at a right angle you cut it at an angle. Personally I’m French and yeah I know of the technique but I’m not the biggest fan necessarily. Works best if you’re making 2 sandwiches out of 1 baguette and fill it up first before doing the middle cut.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah dammit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Saw there were only two comments, thought maybe I had a chance to get that joke/reference in before it’s too late, but of course you’re already here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh nooooooo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In our house the rule is spiders can stay if they’re out the way (up high, etc). When they get too close for comfort for my wife’s tolerance limits, I pick them up and put them outside. Spiders are friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wine, bread and cheese, personally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom with the real questions ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m genuinely curious about this, I’m assuming the top part contains a 40"-ish oled TV and they’re doing some kind of graphical activity with this (design, photo/video editing, etc). Did they fit PC parts somehow within the bottom part? Seems a bit thin for that. But TBH something in this kind of format in a solid stage style case could be very useful in my field for on-site monitoring/testing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I said I love science, not that I know it or can practice it, they’re different things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shout out to the NYE shift at all the Emergency Departments around the world.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  2 dead and a historic church gone up in flames in Amsterdam…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t wait for variable mortgage rates, but on mars.

  I’m mostly joking, I think it’s great if we can become space farers, just can’t help but think about what we did the last time we were out colonizing…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does he think he is The King?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Moquette de wetherspoons sent me haha, very good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well we definitely have both, we do also say “doigts de pied”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Construction magic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or maybe it’s just out of frame at the top, now I see it again.
