- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 1 hour ago:
Not exclusively, hydrogen being lighter and cheaper meant it was still sometimes used when helium could have been.
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 1 hour ago:
Hydrogen is used at extreme depths, but isn’t so good at moderate depths, and has its own issues, like being flammable as all fuck
- Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip 6 hours ago:
For shell scripts it’s because bash isn’t the only shell; if you leave out the shebang line, Ubuntu will run your script in Dash instead
- Comment on Hacking Kia: Remotely Controlling Cars With Just a License Plate. 1 day ago:
I like using the built in radio rather than my phone for music, but it doesn’t need an internet connection, just a flash drive.
I suppose I’m a weirdo for not using Spotify like most people nowadays though

The ones on the dealership lot

Also stomach; NSAIDs like ibuprofen and aspirin can cause stomach ulcers, especially if taken on an empty stomach or with alcohol
- Comment on The Signal 2 days ago:
So I saw your comment, went to read the synopsis, and was nodding along like “Yeah, this good, what seemed weird?”…and then hit the line “Looking for the bathroom, Cash discovers a shackled half-horse, half-human hybrid who begs him for help.”
…wtf?
Of course now I have to watch it

If you reboot your phone, the first unlock can’t use biometrics

This is doing Pooh dirty
- Comment on I don't know the difference between hay and straw 4 days ago:
the cost to replace the carbon would be higher that what you’d get for the straw after the cost of harvesting it
The cost to replace what carbon? Plants don’t take carbon in from the soil

The old addage is “nobody wins a knife fight”
One guy loses on the pavement, the other guy loses in the ambulance
- Comment on OceanGate’s ill-fated Titan sub relied on a hand-typed Excel spreadsheet 5 days ago:
Frankly that controller was probably the most reliable part of the sub
- Comment on Microsoft inks deal to restart Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to fuel its voracious AI ambitions 5 days ago:
Different reactor. Unit 2 partially melted down, there’s no turning it back on. Unit 1 continued running after Unit 2’s failure, and was only shut down because it became economically inviable
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 5 days ago:
Every android phone I’ve had that had a fingerprint reader required a pin/pattern on reboot by default
- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 6 days ago:
Man we really really need restrictions on size and weight of cars. It’s getting ridiculous out there.
There will always be actual situations where giant trucks are necessary, but they’re like 0.1% of the actual giant trucks on the road.
I say require a commercial license over a certain vehicle weight (maybe with a carved out exception that it’s the vehicle weight not including the lithium battery, cor EVs’ sake). Commercial licenses are harder to get, and much easier to lose.

The beanposting is unrelated to the vegan drama, Lemmy just really likes beans. It was one of our first home-grown memes

- Comment on Doctors Remove Woman’s Brain Implant Against Her Will 4 weeks ago:
If a drug manufacturer stops making a drug they still have the patent for, they should be required to give up the patent; then ideally, the government (‘a Crown Corporation’ where I’m from) should start producing it
- Comment on How can I get a screw like this out? 4 weeks ago:
The square shaped oneswork best, common brand is Easy Out
- Comment on Most Hinged Mastodon.Social user 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, sounds like Winnipeg
- Comment on Cords 5 weeks ago:
For the actual physical connection, you use a male receptacle
In order to do it legally, you also need the transfer switch, as has been mentioned.
- Comment on Cords 5 weeks ago:
Switching the neutral and hot pins doesn’t matter except for appliances with exposed metal tied to the neutral pin, which is pretty much exclusive Edison screw lamps. This is why many plugs (especially those that immediately go to a rectifier) don’t bother with polarization.
Swtching hot and ground is a problem
- Comment on Cords 5 weeks ago:
50-50 chance whether those two outlets are on the same phase or opposite faces; if it’s the latter, congrats, that’s a 240V short.
Besides, if there’s an outlet at the far end of your strong of lights, you don’t need this, you just plug it in there
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 5 weeks ago:
Hopefully more than a word
