I didn't down vote you. I'm not saying all Chinese engineers are bad, I'm just saying a lot are bad or don't care enough about details just execution as fast and with as little effort as possible.

You haven't worked with a lot of Chinese engineers, have you?

czardestructo OP , 7 days ago to retrocomputing in Gateway 2000 Computer - Brand New - Free to a good home!

I got my first Gateway 2k Pentium pro in 1996 and upgraded from an Amiga 500 too! Wish I kept that computer but I did keep the CPU as a keepsake.

Want to come get it? There is no market for this stuff and I'm on a time crunch. I need this stuff out fast. There are a bunch of speakers and decks.

I certainly remember seeing the second one on TV a lot when I was a kid.

Thanks, Climate Change | Global warming is turning previously mundane weather events into potential catastrophes, and human behavior isn’t helping.

My wealthy relatives bought a summer home last year on the Florida west coast. That hurricane rolled through and messed up their entire neighborhood and they bragged if the tide went up one more foot their new home would have been flooded. I asked if they had second thoughts to which they quickly responded oh no, hurricanes never hit the west coast this is a freak event it will never happen again! The cognitive dissidence is insane.

Bingo. I've grown these before and they get hints of red at the top of the bell only when they get enough light. I think it's light deprived but still looks very healthy.

Ditto, though I'm getting more and more resentful by the day at the lack of multi user support. I'm not going to donate to them again.

I hear ya but my instance is old (before i knew docker) and just works on the rails. I also tweak the heck out of it for performance so I deal with the annoyance once every two years. If it completely blows up I might roll it on docker.

I understand that everyone doesn't always have a perfect experience but I've been using the same instance of nextcloud for over 8 years I just keep upgrading and migrating. It just works. Only issues I've had is when Debian withholds updating php for too long or when they finally do all the config files for php get fucked and I have to redo them all.

Ugghh their memory sticks. So expensive and so slow for the day.

czardestructo , 2 months ago to Science Memes in How is the hydrogen made?

Burning natural gas isn't so awful but getting it out of the ground and to the place where is needs to be burned is always overlooked. It's a gas, it wants to escape and much of the infrastructure leaks and so a great deal is lost before its used. I walk around Boston and no joke you just SMELL it all the time because the infrastructure is so old. Natural gas is also mostly methane which when leaked is 80 times more potent than CO2. Furthermore much natural gas needs to be transported on ships to be uses. To summarize there is no 'greener' fossil fuels it's all to be avoided if possible.
