Do you have a source for that? Or any more info? It’s not that I doubt it, I ask because some details like my work email, job title and place of employment has been leaking into the hands of marketing companies and I an trying to figure out how.
You’re not wrong. I think the problem here is that the context of who we’re talking to is missing. I only talk to people in this way who I know well and do the same with me, I have like 3 people in mind.
I can understand how it would be frustrating if you did this with someone random at your company.
Hmm I totally get where you’re coming from but I have used a “hi” in the past to basically probe and figure out if a friend or colleague is available for real time conversation because I suspect that the conversation will need to be a quick back and forth, lasting only minutes, rather than an extended asynchronous chain lasting multiple days.
It’s not just the atmosphere that’s an issue though, having a laser in earth’s orbit track something on mars’ surface and vice versa would require some incredible tracking, it would be easier to go from orbit to orbit
I was reading the example of UC Berkely appearing to have gender bias in the admissions and read the following:
“it showed that women tended to apply to more competitive departments with lower rates of admission, even among qualified applicants (such as in the English department), whereas men tended to apply to less competitive departments with higher rates of admission (such as in the engineering department)”
That’s the opposite of what I would expect, I’d expect that English and the arts in general would be a lot easier to get into than stem, that’s how it is in Australia
Edit: When I say get into I mean get into university, not getting into the industry
I was with you until you said it’s disgusting, how is it disgusting to put an extreme emphasis on health, when it’s been neglected for like all of human history.
Like sure, maybe it doesn’t make sense for most people to put so much focus on something they have little control over, but disgusting? Nah.
Also trusting science is a complete misunderstanding of science. That’s how religion operates.
Edit: Also also, I have some faith in the scientific process, as soon as business and money enters the picture though all trust goes out the window. Corporations do not care what poison they give you, as long as it does not affect their bottom line. Have no doubt that they will ignore their scientists if they can get away with it.
I think you might be experiencing a bit of a dunning-kruger effect
Also, in my experience there’s a huge difference between having an intuition for something and having an understanding of something to the point where you could model it.
It’s not clear which part of the comment you meant when you said it’s not true, but PTFE is a PFAS, exactly how toxic it is or isn’t I don’t think is well known yet but people have been living with PTFE implants.
To be fair many of the games on this list would be trivial to preserve as long as windows remains backwards compatible with older software, and not too hard even after that. Breath of the wild and Tarkov stands out as exceptions
I think you’re right in general but in Australia and I think some other places as well we have a 10c refund on plastic bottles made out of PET
(Also glass and aluminium)
Most of our PET bottles, for stuff like soft drinks is now also made partially out of recycled plastic, many are made out of 100% recycled PET
If I understand correctly this is only economical because there is this whole system where all plastic soft drink bottles are made of PET, and so easily identifiable as PET and to get the refund you have to take it to a collection point where the only plastic entering the system are these bottles.
It’s actually hilarious how easy it would be to catch the criminals if they don’t take extra precautions like wearing masks. Just have some fake wifi looking cameras in easy to spot locations and use wired real cameras.
Hardest part would be finding a consumer system that still uses hardwired cameras
I’ve seen people cooling solar panels by using coreflute/Fluteboard at the back of a panel and circulating pool water through the channels. I think I saw this on Linus Tech Tips weirdly enough, not sure though
I live in Aus as well, and I don’t expose myself to News Corp at all. Can you explain to me what the heck the issue is? We have so much space and we don’t need that much more solar, how is anyone’s crops at risk? Is this just a complete non issue? Like i agree that solar panels shouldn’t be installed over the top of crops but is that even a thing that is happening? Don’t the farmers have almost complete control of what goes on their property anyway? So confused
I wasn’t talking down the financial aspect of your comment, I was saying that the language you use is so idiosyncratic with that community that, in being an outsider, I can’t tell if you’re making fun of it, or are a part of it. “…basic investment vehicles that will grow your savings reliably…” this is what I’m talking about.
Also I’m not American so it’s not reasonable to expect me to know what the SEC is, and I don’t have a 401k. We have an entirely different retirement system in my country.
The state of the crypto world is such that i genuinely can’t tell if you’re being satirical by using a bunch of jargon and acronyms that mean nothing in the order you used them, or not
I don’t disagree if you only think about cars, but I’ve seen a lot of smaller electric vehicles gain popularity very quickly. Things like escooters and electric bicycles. For some people these work really well for commuting.
I once threw a weight with a transformer wire and some string attached to it over a high tree branch in my yard to see if it would make a decent antenna for my SDR, it worked!
It was an extremely inexpensive ~5m antenna
