Do you do any simple experiments? Or track things and analyse them?
  • I build an off-grid solar power set on my back yard and tracked it's results for two years. It was only 500W in 3 directions (east, south and west)

    It first charged the batteries and then used the rest to heat water if no direct use was present.

    Learned a lot and noticed that many ideas and mental images about it were bullshit. Still usefull if applied to right applications.

    Not gonna buy a bigger set and will use the existing ones to just heat water till they give up.

  • Creak creak
  • ,,,and after doing something all day

  • healthy routine
  • Now you doomscroll lemmy?

  • Russian deserter reveals war secrets of guarding nuclear base
  • There is difference between working and working according to specs. Nukes are very sensitive maintenance heavy and expensive to upkeep. Optimal yeld is easily lost and if exact timing is off, no boom. Wet fissile fasts don't level cities.

    But true, even single nuke is a tragedy, even if it ends up being a non-functional dirty bomb.

  • Russian deserter reveals war secrets of guarding nuclear base
  • I'm sure that officer knows the maintenance situation everywhere in Russia since Soviet times.

  • 5 Auction Days Left and 89% of Russian Government Bonds have not been sold
  • I thought the government would pay the dept. Just forgetting 3rd party debts is crazy. It would destroy all trust in debt market.

  • Collapse of Earth's main ocean water circulation system is already happening
  • When food runs out for even a portion of those 8 billion, results are gonna be nasty.

    It's hard to talk about climate initiatives when 1/3 of the planet is shooting eatch other. In worst case with nukes.

  • Elon Musk brands Britain a 'tyrannical police state' and boosts far-right activist
  • Just give him some amphetamine and put an idea go his head that genius would be able dive to the Titanic with a plastic barrel full of stones to collect all that gold and shit.

    Fiberglass submarine is too much work and resources for that little shit.

  • 8 yr old me after my parents did my woodworking assignment
  • I work in manufacturing industry as a production planner. Although I am in a central position, from everything that happens on the factory floor to make a complete product, I know surprisingly little. There are so mind bogglingly many little details in the process. That's why there are so fucking many of us here.

    From where I'm sitting, the higher you go on the management ladder more clueless people are about the actual manufacturing process. They don't need to know to do their job. They just need to listen when somebody who knows tells them the abbreviated version when necessary.

    Elon does not appear to be a listener.

    He's just a pompous narcissist or possibly a full blown psycho. Not sure what his tallent is.

  • What bias are there, targeting Open Source specifically?
  • Libre Office will break their computer and lose their emails.

    Few buttons in a different place and they no longer instantly know how to use it == broken.

    People stagnate and tech savvy people don't realise how tech savvy they are.

  • Russian food prices are soaring — but no one dares blame Putin and the war
  • Yeah. Isn't that kinda illegal.

    There is a reason why they call that shithole authoritarian.

  • Russia bans adoption of its children from countries that allow gender transition
  • Russin orthodox church is Putins tool, but you sometimes need to skratch the other back.

  • Man admits torching Ukraine-linked business in UK, taking pay from foreign intelligence
  • Problem is that they have already thought the last 100 years that they can do anyting they please. Other nations only exist due to their good grace.

    That the reason East-European non-puppet countries headed for NATO ASAP.

  • An ad giant wants to control your next TV’s OS
  • My current TV is clawing my firewall like squirrel with rabies. I'm sure the next one will too.

  • The more you know
  • I remember seeing historical record film about this that was recorded on an magnetic tape medium.

  • Burger lunch
  • You like naps? Because with lunch like that, that's what you'll have.

  • Plat plat plat
  • Use cadavers for moist egg incubation due to numerous aquatic predators in closed environment with limited bodies of water?

    That would require land scavengers to be quite rare.

    If there were numerous frogs, payload delivery would only need few successful splat-and-runs and then just wait.

    There would also have to be local hairless naked prey animals with big enough body cavities.

  • Where will Trump's library be?
  • Probably for porn and "artistic" titty magazines, so Mar-a-Lago basement.

  • Human attributes for alien contact

    Lets say you get abducted by aliens.

    They inform you that they want to make contact with human individuals, not the entire humanity. They have a limited telepathy and can "scan" for human mental traits like spiritualistic / non-spiritualistic, artistic / non-artistic, introverted / extroverted, anxious / chill, low / med / high IQ, technology oriented, business savvy, mathematically gifted, socially gifted, scientific, etc.

    They want you to define traits that would make encounters go smoothly and be representative of humans.

    Without knowing anything about those aliens or their interests. What is your answer?
