- Comment on Why do I have to pay tariffs for importing the following stuff into the EU now? 1 day ago:
OP would have had to pay VAT for their purchase from outside EU even before the new regulation came into effect as its value is well above the 150 € limit.
- Comment on why do reverse thrusters work on an airplane, but a fan on a sailboat doesn't work? 1 week ago:
It depends on the actual situation or maneuver during sailing. It’s a mix between the wing effect and the ancient “wind from behind is pushing the boat forward”.

- Comment on Is importing stuff from abroad free from sales tax? 4 weeks ago:
AfaIk, this only works within EU. It already doesn’t if you import from EEA into the EU.
- Comment on How hard/fast would a baseball have to go to completely pass through a pitcher? Like leave a hole through flesh? 1 month ago:
As long as their dimensions are identical, the actual force of a cannonball or a baseball hitting a body isn’t dramatically different, as it’s determined how much force the body can withstand until it’s penetrated. – By measuring the initial velocity and the velocity of the ball leaving the body after penetration, you can calculate the energy required to punch a hole through thad body.
- Comment on Has Piefed omitted some instances? 1 month ago:
Piefed does block some instances out of the box, lemmy.ml is not among them but the admins can unblock them.

So that the yeast has something to chew on.
- Comment on Are US cops (or sheriffs) able to exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction? 1 month ago:
In Germany, anyone has the right to provisionally detain a perpetrator caught in flagranti until police arrives. This would also apply to the US sherrif on vacation.

- Comment on ¿Qué carajo es esto? 1 month ago:
Yet, Rimu mentions it in the release notes, so that’s the “official” reason:
To reduce server load and network traffic, a maximum number of votes that can be cast each day has been set at a level that will only affect the top 2% of voters, leaving the bottom 98% unaffected. This quota can be altered with an environment variable. View a profile to see how much of their daily quota has been used.
- Comment on ¿Qué carajo es esto? 1 month ago:
The quota already came with the version update to 1.7 about 6 weeks ago in July.

I think they mean the guy from the last comment with his unconventional method of stirring milkshakes.
- Comment on Which path would the electrical current take? 2 months ago:
It doesn’t matter if you use numbers or scaled! vectors.
- Comment on Which path would the electrical current take? 2 months ago:
Try visualizing the current by using arrows of a proportional length directing from
+to-(or in opposite direction). - Comment on How do you use the "uno reverse card"? 2 months ago:
That seems to me to imply that in the game, the reverse card turns things around on the other player. Like if they play a +2, you can play the reverse card and make them pick up 2. Is that the way some people play?
Exactly, as I am used to, action cards do add up: E.g. if someone (player A) plays “draw 2”, the next player (B) can lay another “draw 2” on top without drawing 2 cards themself forcing the next player © in line to draw 4 if they themself don’t lay another “draw 2” or a reverse card of matching colour. The latter would then chang the direction of play and force player B to act accordingly.
- Comment on Can someone explain, calories, carbs, glucose, and gluten? 2 months ago:
Carbs is a shorter word for carbohydrates: energy-rich nutrients made primarily of carbon and hydrogen
By that definition, fats and oils would be carbohydrates too. Iirc, carbohydrates got their name because they release water when they are heated above a critical temperature while a black carbon residue remains.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Unrelated to the question, but what sort of degrees are you eating celery in? Celsius, where the celery is quite cold, Fahrenheit, where the celery is frozen solid (unlikely). I highly doubt one can eat celery at 7K.
Maybe the ambient temperature is 7 °C, 7 °F, 7 °Ré, 7 °Rø or 7 °N (7 K or 7 °Ra are unlikely) or they eat celery on a plane inclined by 7°.

The other method is to scare them so they turn around and tumble down.
- Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 2 months ago:
Usually in normal households, the electric stove is connected (hard wired) to all three phases (while the individual heating elements use only 230 V) to distribute it’s load.
Some people may use three-phase connectors for heavy duty tools, such as welding machines, electric saws or log splitters. - Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 2 months ago:
Also note that EU kettles can run on USA network, they will just be horrible slow heaters (they are slower with about 230V/110V = ~2x)
It’s even worse:
P = U·I = U^2/R, so only about a quarter. - Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 2 months ago:
The EU plug is one attempt. I believe that includes the UK and a few non-European countries.
The Europlug works in all of Europe, but not in UK and Ireland, as type G plugs have rectangular pins, and do not fit on Italian 16 A type L sockets (only on the 10 A and hybrid ones).
- Comment on Adding a Sever 3 months ago:
I guess it’s the same on other servers
In this case it isn’t. Lemmy.today federates with fedinsfw.app.
- Comment on Adding a Sever 3 months ago:
@one_old_coder@piefed.social As you are on lemmy.today, which federates with fedinsfw.app (lemmy.today/instances), you should be able to subscribe to (join) communities on fedinsfw, e.g. lemmy.today/c/fedinsfw@fedinsfw.app .
Maybe you need to unblock visibility of posts flagged as nsfw to see any content in the spicy communities. - Comment on Adding Server 3 months ago:
Yes, it can do both, Lemmy and Piefed.
- Comment on Adding Server 3 months ago:
Fedinsfw is a Piefed instance. Maybe “Voyager for Lemmy” doesn’t support it (yet).
- Comment on Which emitter should I get for the Convoy T6 flashlight? 3 months ago:
I find 3000 K a realy warm tone, similar to candlelight.
Looking at the product I also can’t find a charging port, nor do they mention a charging functionality in the text. However, the flashlight will have lots more power if used with a Lithium battery instead of an alkaline / NiMH battery (5A @ 3.6 V) vs. (0.5 A @ 1.5/1.2 V).
