Dancing and an eating disorder don’t make you bi. Same-gender attraction does.
- Comment on Does different parts of the world use different standards for water pressure similar to voltages? 1 day ago:
US. I’d be surprised if anywhere was allowing more than 80psi.
20psi is really low so this value may have different variations. I’m on a well pump and before I replaced it I was getting down to 20psi. It barely dribbled out of the 2nd floor shower head. I now have the pump set to 60/40 with a 50psi restriction valve. This seems to be the sweet spot.
I’m not in plumbing and won’t know how to look this stuff up.
- Comment on Does different parts of the world use different standards for water pressure similar to voltages? 2 days ago:
I think it’s 80psi/20psi to code.
- Comment on Does different parts of the world use different standards for water pressure similar to voltages? 2 days ago:
Water operates more like DC voltage so there isn’t really a need for a standard. You just need enough to get to your shower head.

Amazon Turk?
- Comment on Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows? 1 week ago:
If there was a calf or bull around I wouldn’t walk through.
You can yell at them and they might disperse. If they don’t then you’d be able to walk through them.
Cows just don’t like to be startled, that’s about it.

Is slavery allowed?
- Comment on Disable windows updates 1 week ago:
It was pretty simple to stop windows 11.
Updates will eventually restart but not unprompted. There is a combination of settings you can set that will install updates right away and restart soon after, but it’s not default.
The vpn issue didn’t affect all vpn software and a workaround was available.
MS adds features to their products and are pretty forceful about getting you to use them.
- Comment on Disable windows updates 1 week ago:
Win11 isnt forced.
Breaking vpns was a result of security fixes and was addressed. This is normal for all OS’s that get patched.
There’s no restarting without prompting.
Copilot is optional.
I don’t need to go on.
- Comment on Disable windows updates 1 week ago:
Just disable the windows update services.
You could also use a allowlist firewall rule to restrict access to what you need.
Also why the paranoia? What do you have against windows updates?

- Comment on Are business cards still a thing? 3 weeks ago:
Our phishing training specifically says don’t scan random QR codes or nfc tags.
- Comment on Is it safe to use free movies sites on a phone, specifically iOS devices? 3 weeks ago:
If you have a 1-click exploit for iOS, you’re not using it on a shitty movie site. You’re selling it for top dollar to governments.
- Comment on How do you get into wild camping, it seems so overwhelming and a lot of information to try and gather? 4 weeks ago:
Test your setup by camping in your backyard.
In the US we have KOA campgrounds which have a camp host and usually a store. I used them for my first RV trip and found it to be very helpful. Maybe you have something similar?
- Comment on If an oven only has fan forced mode do i still need to set it to the fan forced temperature in recipes? Ie 160 instead of 180. 5 weeks ago:
If it’s like mine then it’s a low speed fan on “bake” mode which has little impact on cakes. If you have a convection option, don’t use it when baking.
- Comment on If an oven only has fan forced mode do i still need to set it to the fan forced temperature in recipes? Ie 160 instead of 180. 5 weeks ago:
Convection ovens will always dry out cakes.
- Comment on 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good? 1 month ago:
Not from Los Angeles are ya?
- Comment on In Air Conditioners, what are EERs and how can I use it to calculate my electricity costs. 1 month ago:
Too many variables. Energy usage isn’t constrained to efficiency of the hvac.
What’s the energy consumption of your current unit? compare that equipment to a newer model to get an idea.
- Comment on Which is the best Lemmy app for mobile? 1 month ago:
Been using voyager for a while and haven’t found a reason to change.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 1 month ago:
Biden could announce that he’s set up a deadman switch so that once the law is enacted, mercs would take out the people that ruled in favor of the law.

Ctl alt del then select task manager. Find the exe in question and kill it.
- Comment on How are newer cars (gas/hybrid) supposed to sound? 2 months ago:
Direct injection engines sound like a tractor at idle.
Ford eco boost cam phasers sound awful at cold start.
We’re at peak performance and efficiency for gas engines right now and they don’t sound like older engines.
- Comment on do you use cotton leggings? would you recommend them? 3 months ago:
Bro you’re asking too many questions about leggings.
- Comment on As more developers confirm, it looks likely that ALL Adult Swim Games titles will be removed by May 3 months ago:
Could it be licensing costs? Things like music might be licensed separately.
Could it be overhead? They probably have 1-2 people managing that stuff a few hours a month. They might be cutting checks for $100 or less and just think it’s a waste of time.

I don’t know, works on my browser.
-Devs, probably.
- Comment on Bosses are using RTO mandates as a way to ‘blame employees as a scapegoat for bad firm performance,’ new research finds 5 months ago:
The problem I’m dealing with is that there are real benefits to having people in situations where chance interactions occur and forced socialization at the expense of work productivity, but upper management doesn’t focus on that. They are focused on pushing the RTO agenda without explaining their desired goals.
