  Just pick up a little bit of French and then when you meet them, you can get by with a mixture of Frenglish, gesturing, cross-language dictionaries, and help from Domenic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where on the internet would you discuss a specific case of a potential exploitation of a minor within the adult industry"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t feel any need to discuss something like that in public. If I felt reasonably convinced that someone was being abused, I’d probably flag the FBI. Otherwise if you insist, I’m sure there there are pr0n forums. In fact Lemmy has an NSFW instance lemmynsfw.com. Stuff from there keeps showing up on lemmy.world’s front page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No idea about clogging differences, but the toilet drain sometimes goes to a different sewer system than the sink drain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_sewer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For text generation the result would be almost useless since most public domain works are very old. For images, you could train with video feeds maybe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the U.S., are all voting booth areas required to have carbon monoxide detectors?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In indoor crowded spaces, CO2 is often 2000 ppm or higher (background is now around 450). We might notice but just deal with it. In the past that meant getting sleepy at a lecture or that sort of thing, but today I’d consider it risky. I still wear an N95 mask whenever I’m in a public indoor space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  1. there are plenty of shy or anxious people in the US too!
  2. as you say, being outgoing is a skill. 21 is an awkward and transitional age where you’re still finding out things about yourself. As you get more comfortable it can get easier to talk to other people too.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the U.S., are all voting booth areas required to have carbon monoxide detectors?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  CO comes from incomplete combustion and you’d usually only have detectors for it around gas heaters, generators, stuff like that. Maybe you meant carbon dioxide (CO2). I don’t remember ever seeing one around a voting booth. I’d consider them a good idea though, not because CO2 poisoning is a serious concern per se, but because high CO2 means that you’re breathing air that other people exhaled, increasing your exposure to airborne pathogens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you rank the millennium prize problems based on difficulty of understanding it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say P vs NP is the easiest, Riemann hypothesis is understandable in the sense that its statement is not too technical, but understanding why it is important is another matter. NS smoothness is probably understandable to the average math or physics nerd who has seen some PDE’s. The rest require developing more machinery to even state the problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(i feel really stupid asking, but what the hell!) could i be of french descent?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I can see your future. The good news is you become a starship captain. The bad news is you lose your hair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the digestive tract count as a pneumatic propulsion system?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Peristaltic, in fact that’s where the term comes from. You can type “peristaltic pump” into a search engine to see lots of descriptions and diagrams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It takes a bit of practice. A few minutes of instruction can show you how it works, but then you will want to actually practice (maybe an hour or so) on some quiet roads before driving in traffic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the definition of concurrent vs cumulative?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Concurrent = multiple things at the same time

  Cumulative = amount of stuff added up over time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mentorship Monday - Discussions for career and learning!⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve worked in security for decades and nobody has ever asked me about certifications. I know a guy with CISSP and he said it has been useful sometimes, but basically I wouldn’t worry too much. Getting more involved with the security stuff where you work will give real experience which is likely more valuable.
