  He was just dumb. He spent unwisely. The best things in life are free. Like the support of moguls like Murdoch from Fox News.

  Worked with an industrial robot one that had 700V 0.5F electrolytic capacitors on its power supply. Those things were massive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could I seek asylum as a US trans person in Costa Rica (or other countries)?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re very unlikely to get asylum, but with your skills you can get a work visa in many places. You can start by narrowing down to places in which language isn’t a barrier for you. Then look at their embassy website and search for residence or work visa to check the process and retirements.

  In parallel, have a passport handy. You aren’t going anywhere without one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recycled Plastic is a Toxic Cocktail: Over 80 Chemicals Found in a Single Pellet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A new study with researchers from University of Gothenburg and Leipzig shows that recycled polyethylene plastic can leach chemicals into water causing impacts in the hormone systems and lipid metabolism of zebrafish larvae.

  “Recycled plastic can leach chemicals into water” would have been a better headline. “Recycled plastic can leach X% more chemicals into water than ‘virgin’ plastic” would be even better.

  Still, I better not house my zebrafish in a recycled polyethylene aquarium, I guess.

  Or they care about you and want you to “see the light”. Most people drinking the conspiracy kool-aid aren’t evil, just gullible and ignorant.

  At least you have one.

  People are different and respond to the same message differently depending on the source. OP might have an in with their loved one and therefore a chance of changing their minds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on how invested you are in their health. I wouldn’t do that to my mother, for instance.

  Right. For perspective, I once paid $200 for a single Xray (needed 3, total $600, not counting the doctors bill). And that’s with health insurance.

  If you have to go to urgent care, expect to pay close to $1000 for simple needs, much higher than that for more complex needs. An ambulance ride can cost upwards of $5000, and an airlift is several times that.

  Then you add the complete absence of consumers rights and little to no oversight on industrial activity. Lead and PFA poisoned water, food additives that are banned in most of the developed world, sugar in everything,… It’s near impossible not to get sick here.
