  I think the idea is to filter it out (which is also not easy) but then this gives you a way to destroy the concentrated pfas left behind. Because otherwise what are you supposed to do with the material you have filtered out? It’d be cool if regulations required the cost of destroying pfas be added to the sale of pfas which might help manufacturers decide that they don’t need to add pfas to disposable things like paper plates after all.

  I put the data in excel and make colorful charts to show management that their ideas are possible but expensive. Then do the same to show the cost of not purchasing maintenance equipment is in fact more costly than the necessary equipment.

  This is Odo from engineering. He has a meltdown every night.

  fingering it. We tend to be upbeat about it.

  New EV supercars are using similar axial flux motors. I was hoping someone would come up with this because spinning the axles directly with wheel mounted motors seems like a much easier retrofit than replacing the engine and gear box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICTi2Z_X5Kw

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you ever had to retake a major course you already passed in order to understand the subject better?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  there are free online lectures out there like MIT open courseware, i’ve rewatched some classes that i got fuzzy on. Also specific concepts may be better explained on youtube by like organic chemistry tutor or 3 blue 1 brown.

  I have not paid to retake a class though.

  afaik stat counter just tracks hits, it doesn’t do any work to check for unique users or anything. So a pile of linux boxes made a higher percentage of hits at whatever site this was counting. Something like a DDOS botnet may potentially cause this.

  Yeah, i remember it being pretty bad and fighting with my boss at the time because they were all in with lenovo. Even after I showed them the articles about the malware they wanted us to push out lenovo’s bloat on all machines (like the stupid battery monitor) because they liked how it looked better. I got a new job shortly after.

  This is not how I pictured the verification can…

  I sure want them to try though, fight for my money!

  Back in 2015 or so Lenovo was pre-installing superfish spyware on some systems. Whether this was an accident or intentional is up for interpretation. Whether 8 years is enough to earn back trust is up to you. Personally I re-image anything that’s mine because I don’t need the vendor’s bloat that just does the same things windows already does. I don’t really use windows much anyway these days for my personal machines but I’m probably not going to buy anything from Lenovo any time soon.

  Just remember to disable firefox’s default DNS over HTTPS setting that just fucking ignores your system DNS. So infuriating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LED lights are meant to save energy. They’re creating glaring problems⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just weird to me, i don’t expect to see stars in a city, even before the lights were LED. They’re saying the blue light scatters more and that’s a problem but if the entire point of the street light is public safety then more light information is a good thing. The cities probably need new studies and information about lumens per square foot though because they’re probably working off of old studies with redder light and they could probably lower the intensity and still get the same amount of light information.
