Actual old style forums for cars are great for this.

zeekaran ,

Same. I start work at 6am though. On weekend nights I go to bed when I feel like it, which may be 10pm or 3am.

zeekaran ,

That's where literally all my stuff comes from. Cameras, switches, APs, so much unifi in this house and I barely paid for any.

True, but smaller arms go further so scenes line the early betrayal in Italian Job were life threatening.

All supersonic bullets (up to .50-caliber) disintegrated in less than 3 feet (90 cm) of water, but slower velocity bullets, like pistol rounds, need up to 8 feet (2.4 m) of water to slow to non-lethal speeds. Shotgun slugs require even more depth (the exact depth couldn’t be determined because their one test broke the rig). However, as most water-bound shots are fired from an angle, less actual depth is needed to create the necessary separation.

Or it's just not funny and adds nothing to the conversation. Extremely low effort garbage deserves down votes.

zeekaran ,

Lemmy is full of those childish people I met in college.

zeekaran ,

I've hovered exactly once in my entire life. If the toilet lid has some pee on it, use the toilet paper. It's not difficult. Women who hover are dumb.

zeekaran ,

If you don't drive for work--and I mean get paid to drive hundreds of miles every day, not just a long commute--or take a road trip every month, and have a place to charge at night (most people do, at least in North America), then an EV is just better.

Otherwise, a plug-in hybrid or a "gasoline boosted EV" like a Volt is sufficient. ICE cars for regular people shouldn't have even existed once the Volt proof of concept was proven!

If they use a camper or heavy trailer even four times per year, fine whatever keep your truck. The other millions of Americans should've just rented a vehicle when they needed it, and it would've been far cheaper and more convenient to have their daily driver as a regular sized sedan.

zeekaran ,

A PHEV SUV would do wonders.

zeekaran ,

PHEV should've been the norm with ICE as a rare, overly expensive option. Since 2014 or earlier.

zeekaran ,

Tech Connections showed this pretty well.

I don't even remember the name but the game where you run around a weird post apocalyptic world dueling with decks of cards. I would love a modern remake.

Edit: Phantom Dust!

The only care my lawn gets is a mowing or needle raking once in a year. Some bush trimming maybe, but that's it. Rabbits, neighborhood cats, and deer hang out in it all the time.

I would rather live in a dense area and not even have a yard, and instead visit the nearby park for my greenery needs.

zeekaran ,

I shared this in a comment recently and I'm wondering if it led to this post.

Eat less meat, please! Not asking anyone to be vegan, just eat less meat.

zeekaran ,

I cannot fathom living a three hour walk from a grocery store.

I live in a suburb myself, but I'm still <30 minutes walking distance to a grocery store. Only 10 minutes by bike.

If you live that far out, that's both a failure of city design as well as personal choice.

zeekaran ,

Kimchi on all the things! Burgers and pizza especially.

Transport related emissions for food are so small they aren't worth discussing. I bet this applies to most items outside of food as well.

https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local

Personal transportation emissions are of course worth reducing but this seems like a dumb way to do it.

zeekaran ,

No but they're closely related and often the same thing.

The whole concept of "economically productive downtowns subsidize white flight suburbs ability to exist" is because of infrastructure, but it's basically a subsidy.

zeekaran ,

Replace every single ICE with a BEV. Still plenty of beef.

zeekaran ,

Twice that I can think of.

Mealbars while on Slate Star Codex, and when I was a young weeb I clicked on a web store that sold Japanese items to Americans.

Colorado’s Bold New Approach to Highways — Not Building Them | The state has made it harder to widen highways, and transportation officials are turning their eyes to transit. ( www.nytimes.com )

In Colorado, that new vision was catalyzed by climate change. In 2019, Gov. Jared Polis signed a law that required the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 90 percent within 30 years. As the state tried to figure out how it would get there, it zeroed in on drivers. Transportation is the largest single contributor to...

zeekaran ,

Nice straw man.

zeekaran ,

Vodka‽ If you can find shochu (not soju), please try it once instead of vodka. It pairs nicely with sushi too.

zeekaran ,

SUVs are heavier. More mass equals more energy to produce and move. More energy is more pollution.

zeekaran ,

Underrated joke

zeekaran ,

Didn't the CEO during that phase get replaced?

zeekaran ,

She points out that paying for drinks is the norm for all Disney cruises. The food is free and infinite though.

zeekaran ,

Lemmy made your links unreadable. Not your fault just voicing my complaint.

zeekaran ,

I was in Japan for two weeks and not once did I use a toilet without a bidet. It was glorious.

zeekaran ,

The energy one can get from a panel the size of a car roof is tiny and not worth the added weight.

Your entire post is inaccurate because it takes into account the frequency of being near a bear. Your chance of being injured by a bear greatly increases as you get near a bear.

zeekaran ,

The Apple mouse is one of the most infuriating pieces of technology I have ever used.

zeekaran ,

once in a lifetime

2017 was only seven years ago but okay

zeekaran ,

If most people in your city live 10+ miles to your jobs, that's a fundamental city design flaw that isn't getting fixed in your lifetime. Sorry.

zeekaran ,

Golden Tiki is an excellent bar. That whole area has great food too.

And if you know anything about Meow Wolf, their third location is a short ride away. It's called Omega Mart. It's fine to go in drunk but it's better to start sober and get drinks at their bar.

zeekaran ,

Not enough content to not use all.

“Early in the Reticulum-thousands of years ago-it became almost useless because it was cluttered with faulty, obsolete, or downright misleading information,” Sammann said.

“Crap, you once called it,” I reminded him.

“Yes-a technical term. So crap filtering became important. Businesses were built around it. Some of those businesses came up with a clever plan to make more money: they poisoned the well. They began to put crap on the Reticulum deliberately, forcing people to use their products to filter that crap back out. They created syndevs whose sole purpose was to spew crap into the Reticulum. But it had to be good crap.”

“What is good crap?” Arsibalt asked in a politely incredulous tone.

“Well, bad crap would be an unformatted document consisting of random letters. Good crap would be a beautifully typeset, well-written document that contained a hundred correct, verifiable sentences and one that was subtly false. It’s a lot harder to generate good crap. At first they had to hire humans to churn it out. They mostly did it by taking legitimate documents and inserting errors-swapping one name for another, say. But it didn’t really take off until the military got interested.”

“As a tactic for planting misinformation in the enemy’s reticules, you mean,” Osa said. “This I know about. You are referring to the Artificial Inanity programs of the mid-First Millennium A.R.”

Because space is an ocean.

You must suffer with me

zeekaran ,

Growing up poor in a crappy place with no good food, it's easy to think this way. I didn't really enjoy any vegetables until college.

zeekaran ,

The only realistic possible upside is it brings out more voters who vote left and overwhelm even the worst gerrymandering in the state which leads to a blue wave. That's it.

zeekaran ,

Cool does that mean they're gonna vote this time

zeekaran ,

If your tasty casserole is similar to the boomer macaroni, that's a you problem. Learn to cook better.

zeekaran ,

Only three anime so far

zeekaran ,

Cheese below sauce sounds like an unnecessary mess.

zeekaran ,

Better bring wet wipes to all the dudes with facial hair.

zeekaran ,

I have heard this many times but it gives me awful, vivid dreams, and consistently.
