- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 1 week ago:
I had a boss tell us we should forget about work-life balance.
- Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars? 2 weeks ago:
Probably not an official government use. Probably just someone who came across the survey (government employee or not) and decided to help out with Lemmy.
- Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars? 3 weeks ago:
There was a government survey on this just a few weeks ago. Conveniently posted here so I filled it out. Did you?
- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 4 weeks ago:
Then move to China, because the chances of a dictatorship running your way are next to zero. Dictatorship means no accountability, so once it’s set up, they do as they please no matter what you say.
- Comment on Traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck driving above the speed limit or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. It belongs to an NYPD cop. 1 month ago:
Receiving 547 fines in the mail means he’s treating speeding as a paid subscription.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
High end bicycle equipment have weight specs in grams.

This breaches rules 1, 2 and 5.
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 3 months ago:
I was sure you meant “alien” as in “foreigner” but no, you actually mean extra-terrestrial. 👽
- Comment on The reason women cover their drinks 6 months ago:
Stephen Miller on CNN actually said he considered djt to have limitless power (plenary authority) and then awkwardly froze as if he hadn’t wanted that to slip out.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 6 months ago:
Ok. Sometimes I don’t bother trying to tell apart a joke from a real concern. I mean, who knows what a struggling publisher would say. No worries.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 6 months ago:
First time I’ve ever seen anyone speaking out against lending and borrowing.
- Comment on 6 months ago:
Celsius died in 1744, but according to Fahrenheit, that will only happen in 3171.
- Comment on Scientific explanation 7 months ago:
(no one does … he doesn’t say if that’s a number of ounces or a number of metric tons …)
- Comment on Great to see some actual progress over there 7 months ago:
This is the kind of ridiculousness we see from headlines about djt .
- Comment on I'm fine with being stupid 7 months ago:
Better than rheumatoid stuff.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 7 months ago:
Name a car without a processor. Year and model.
- Comment on I'm fine with being stupid 7 months ago:
You need the length for each side. Make triangles. Double each one into a parallelogram. bh/2 for each one.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 7 months ago:
The CPU and screen are already in the car for other things. No cost there. And I don’t think you actually know how to make a nob.
- Comment on I'm fine with being stupid 7 months ago:
Volume is also nothing but polygons, where you get more accurate results the more slices you cut it into.
- Comment on Everything has a bit of overlap 7 months ago:
“Observe” implies interaction with a photon.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 7 months ago:
That only depends on what badge they put on the hood.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 7 months ago:
The screen could well be more expensive than the dial parts, but installation would be cheaper, so we’d need the numbers. The thing about software is that it’s very expensive to make but selling price is as low or high as you need it to be.
- Comment on Everything has a bit of overlap 7 months ago:
Absolutely, especially those electrons in our 5 senses (retina, ear drums, and skin, nose and tongue sensors).
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 7 months ago:
That has 5 moving parts, while a touchscreen has none. It much easier and cheaper for the manufacturer to install the touchscreen. But instead of passing the savings to you, they probably keep it or pass it on to investors.
- Comment on Everything has a bit of overlap 7 months ago:
I would say the overlap is actually complete. It depends on what exactly you mean by “observed”, and “behaving”.
- Comment on #environmentalist 7 months ago:
Bamboo straws make you feel like your on some exotic, tropical island!
- Comment on sagan/sanders 1991 7 months ago:
My point was that Sagan openly taught climate change to Congress 40 years ago, so Congress and Americans have no excuse not to know, not that he was anywhere near being the first to propose it. He was known as a teacher/professor to the masses, much more than as a pioneer like Fourrier or Arrhenius. Topic is Sagan and Congress, not necessarily climate change.
- Comment on sagan/sanders 1991 7 months ago:
Everyone should watch Sagan teaching climate change to Congress back in 1985: youtu.be/Wp-WiNXH6hI

People say efficient without saying efficient at doing what with what.
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 7 months ago:
It’s amazing that they actually designed the beds to fail in the worse possible way. I mean this is cartoon crazy.
