  In that case we have to rely on Elons white power.

  Make the eggs bigger

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call now, and we will give you a second can F R E E!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jokes on you, I already have crabs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost all of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That depends what colour your skin is or if you wear any non christian headgear, symbols, etc.

  It comes from chy-nah

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨carlos for scale⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are some nice slip-ons

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bill went bad. He was okay until we found out what he really believes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infrastructure construction in Britain is defective. The most budget UK tramway is more expensive than the most costly french tramway⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The British seem to be particularly bad at big infrastructure projects. The computerisation of the NHS was a debacle, for instance. HS2 has fallen massively short. The people in charge don’t understand technology and are not good at taking advice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now that's an interesting question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And then we all clapped

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can’t HVAC be made smarter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s generally true for most HVAC applications. Bang-bang control creates limit cycle behaviour and as long as a small oscillation in temperature is acceptable, it’s a nice simple solution.

  OPs problem seems to be a discontinuity between the two limit cycles, heating and cooling. The way to tackle this is to make time series vectors of all measurements and compare them with the subjective sensation of the room temperature. That should inform the relevant set points for the control actions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can’t HVAC be made smarter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Control theory is a bitch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Jury Nullification a Thing, But You Can’t Talk About It in Court?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Like the guys at the Nuremberg trials. Turns out ‘just following orders’ was not a creditable defence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SMH⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We saw it and thought ‘we should invent a process that prevents us from falling prey to the naturalistic fallacy’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Jury Nullification a Thing, But You Can’t Talk About It in Court?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How is this even a question? If you believe someone is good and they decided to do something against the law but for good reasons, are you going to punish that person? We know rules are important in society and we all aspire to be good citizens but sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we have to abandon our principles or break the law. Nobody is obeying the speed limit when carrying a dying child to hospital and nobody is condemning that person for breaking the law, to give a completely fatuous example.

  The reason jurys convict ethically sound defendants is the same reason people fail to make the ethically sound choice in the Milgram experiment.

  It doesn’t matter what the legal statutes say, you still have to think for yourself and others to make compassionate choices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no ragrets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  According to Bryson’s account, he deliberately mislead us about the dangers of tetraethyl lead by making a public demonstration of washing his hands in the chemical. As a chemical engineer he knew a single exposure was not sufficient to cause the lead poisoning that was evident in the workforce at his factory and was counting on a scientifically illiterate public not understanding how toxicity operates in organisms. He was correct on both counts and we can never let the profit motive enter these type of calculations e.g. money in healthcare, oil companies publishing climate science, etc, and expect healthy outcomes.

  What is this tree technology you speak of

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seven arrested over alleged sexual abuse ‘claim farming’ scheme that police say netted more than $1bn | New South Wales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s solve this problem with more application of the law. You can never have too much law, just ask the guys prosecuting the war on drugs and popular contemporary war criminals such as Clinton, Bush, Cheney and Netanyahu.

  Never ask scientists and philosophers how to solve a problem, you’re much better off leaving it in the hands of lying psychopaths.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyway to erase the permanent marker so I can reuse this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would make a decent paperweight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to make your decesion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Jokes on you, I smell like a vagrant

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I show a coworker that I care about her after her mother died?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes people just want to be left alone. There’s no solution to grief besides time. You can’t materially improve this position but you can be around if they want to talk or just be around people.

  They get sick pleasure from inflicting stupid fastener design on their users?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you forgive someone that poisoned your dog when they only offer bad faith apology ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be easier to do if they came down with a mystery illness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ewww⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The point is that the fork has been traumatised and it transfers that trauma to your food by the magic of homeopathy or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The torque better not be too strong with this one⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out the laws of physics and geometry are the same everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How am I supposed to obtain income?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The situation where a candidate is rejected because they don’t have relevant experience is often decided by people who don’t have that experience either. The last thing I want is a job where I immediately know how to do it. That’s often the reason to leave - it’s boring and not a challenge any more.

  The market is probably flat right now and that’s the reason there’s no jobs. You have to hang in there for a bit and wait for an upturn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just WON'T⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Excuse me sir, do you have a licence and registration for that ice cream?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think lemmy will ever be popular?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s already popular with a good userbase. Popular with idiots? Hopefully not.
