I’m just imagining the nutrition facts section for that bottle of test strips

- Comment on The world's only coal-to-nuclear reactor plant just broke ground in Wyoming 2 weeks ago:
Coal plant burns coal to heat water, makes steam, and the steam powers a turbine to produce electricity. A nuclear power plant uses nuclear fuel to heat water and produce steam similar to a coal plant. It may do this indirectly (e.g. second loop between the nuclear fuel and water loop to prevent the water becoming radioactive). This means that to build a nuclear plant you essentially need to build a coal plant, and then also the nuclear reactor and safety stuff, which makes them more expensive. Since coal plants are being turned off anyways, it might be more cost effective to just retrofit old coal plants so the only cost is the nuclear reactor side of things (plus any necessary maintenance and upgrades)

- Comment on What happens to my domain, website and email when I die? 5 weeks ago:
Just searched my old user names and found absolutely nothing except for one post from 2012 on Minecraft forums
It’s one part a lack of SEO/searchability and nine parts sites that are dead and gone taking that information with them.
I haven’t been the best about backups, passwords, etc but I’ll probably set up a dead mans switch at some point to release my passwords to my family and delete my drives if/when I can’t do it myself. I’ve already got bro on call to drive to my house and shred the drives •=•
- Comment on Does Lemmy have a bump system? 1 month ago:
Not really but kinda. Depends on how you sort the feed. There’s new comments / active / most comments (and maybe scaled?) which factor in number of comments but if you don’t sort by that then number of comments doesn’t affect it in the feed. Also, someone who comments a lot of nonsense is probably going to get blocked, down voted, reported / banned or their posts removed.
There’s also top hour/the/12hr/day/week/month/year, controversial, new, etc. which won’t factor comments in.
- Comment on Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail? 1 month ago:
People have gone to jail without rape kits being used based entirely on circumstantial evidence (e.g. “you were in the area around the time it happened”). While I would wish the justice system in every country were 100% accurate, it is far too common for the wrong person to be incarcerated to just sentence people to death.
- Comment on Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail? 1 month ago:
What about in the case of a false accusation of rape or when the wrong person (i.e. not the person who committed the crime but a different person) is inevitably tried and found guilty
- Comment on Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail? 1 month ago:
Hm so a false accusation leading to a the lynching of an innocent man is completely ok though. They’re not human, right?
- Comment on Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail? 1 month ago:
You made a stupid post asking “why don’t we do this: if people do X then we should do Y.” People don’t support Y and you then say they must then support people who do X? You are putting words in people’s mouths an they don’t like that. You are also advocating for harm against people who may be innocent or are also human.
Ever heard of Emmett Till? He a black boy who was accused of whistling at a white woman in 1955 and was lynched, tortured and killed for it. He didn’t do it, and the woman much later admitted she lied about it. Yet nothing has happened to her and his murderers were acquitted

- Comment on What's the vaporization temperature of mouse urine? 2 months ago:
You might be able to soak it in some kind of water/soap or isopropyl bath and then dry it. If it has electronics it might not be doable without taking things apart
- Comment on What's the vaporization temperature of mouse urine? 2 months ago:
Definitely higher than the softening point of the plastic. What kind of parts? Car, residential appliance, etc?
- Comment on Isopods 3 months ago:
P. pruinosus could be defined as a macroconcentrator of Cd, Zn, and Cu (BAF > 2) and as a deconcentrator of Pb (BAF < 1).
Since isopods are food source of vertebrate and invertebrate predators, one threat is the transfer and potential accumulation of these contaminants at higher trophic levels. In a regional assessment of the Greater Washington-Baltimore Metropolitan area, Pouyat et al. (2015b) found a positive correlation between lead concentration of soil, isopod body, and blood of American robin (Turdusmigratorius Linnaeus, 1766) nestlings from the same residential yards.
One way is just by keeping the heavy metals (Hg, Cu, Zn, Cd, etc) in their body. Any heavy metals they uptake will remain in their body, and while they’re alive they create more isopods to uptake more metal. But, if they get eaten it can accumulate in other animals or if they die it just returns to the soil. They’re also useful as indicators of soil contamination.

- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 5 months ago:
Solder is a low melting point metal used to join two metals to create a joint, where the solder fills the gap and bonds to both metals. This is commonly used in electronics to bond components to the board. For a good solder joint, the solder must be brought up to the peoper temperature, and the pads on the PCB (metal 1) and leads of the component (metal 2) need to be heated enough. Additionally, flux is added to the solder to remove oxides on the component leads and PCB pads to allow the solder to bond to the metal; oxides can prevent toe solder from sticking.
A cold solder joint is one that does not reach the proper temperature and/or does not have enough flux, leading to the solder not bonding to the joint, having a scaly/bubbly/matte appearance, and a weaker more brittle joint. Flux also doesnt do as good a job at lower temperatures so it’s important for the joint to get hot enough.

- Comment on Do you feel this place has gotten more.. reddit-y lately? 10 months ago:
I rarely blocked people on reddit but the pool is much smaller here so you tend to run into the same troll repeatedly or they spam throughout ansingle thread
Ive taken to just reporting and blocking left and right because i dont have the mental bandwidth to spend on someone who is looking for fights and not legitimate arguments
