Spicy food.

Wind turbines also.
But some solar does focus it on a tower to make steam to drive a turbine.
- Comment on why is mexico not treated the same way as canada?? 1 week ago:
Because if they did consider themself Latino, it might sound more like a personal complaint instead of just a general question.

Looks fine in the Eternity app.
Unless OP fixed it already. - Comment on why is mexico not treated the same way as canada?? 1 week ago:
Absolutely.
Genetically I’m around 50% a culture that I simply wasn’t raised in, which is associated with a religion I never practiced (as opposed to the different religion I left)
Based on looks I could easily identify as that culture and strangers wouldn’t question it. They also don’t question my lack of doing so.
- Comment on Can you draw a perfect circle? 1 week ago:
My immediate reaction before opening the link: “No.”
Yet I somehow got 96.6% twice.
Visually, I certainly wouldn’t call them 3.4% away from perfect. I’m guessing there’s some allowance for imperfection even at 100%.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 2 weeks ago:
Another thing that’s barely on the chart: Foreign Policy, some fraction of which would be the genocide.
It just wasn’t the influential issue that much of Lemmy wished it were, and clearly not the reason Harris lost.
- Comment on What it's like scrolling YouTube these days 2 weeks ago:
Every time I use NewPipe or PipePipe, etc. and see the actual default videos, I lose a little more faith in humanity. Sometimes an actual good science channel like Kurzgesagt will be there and restore some, but generally it really is this bad.

What is this, a magnification for ants?

I’m surprised it’s not by Eiffel.

Yup. Kids are jumpy alright. I expect to see a lot more of them this evening.

In opposing corners no less
- Comment on Why does it seem the majority of protests in the US are to oppose something while so many protests in other countries are looking to influence improving something? 5 weeks ago:
Just to add to your point, as far as I can find, the entire European Union is only about 4.3 million sq. km.
If Spain were added as a 51st US State it would be the 3rd largest, between Texas and California. Same with France (largest in the EU), but it’s much closer to overtaking 2nd place. I had no idea those countries were so large.
Still, we have 50 of those country sized areas.

- Comment on stars & sharks 1 month ago:
In my opinion Polaris B and Polaris Ab (it’s actually a three star system!) don’t count as ‘The North Star’ because they contribute almost nothing to the visible light seen without a telescope. Without Aa there’s just no north pole star at the moment.
But that’s interesting about the age being uncertain. I’d use the age of the merger as the age of the star anyway unless it didn’t add much mass (but in that case it would have been a short lived giant anyway…) which would still likely put it under the 420 million years mark.

Support it Here if you would like it to be a real set.

- Comment on So, my weirdo Stanley Parable inspired game finally made it to Most Wishlisted Steam Games. And I'm pretty sure a lot of you are to blame... 1 month ago:
I guess I’ll be the one to ask, since we are on Lemmy…
Linux support?
- Comment on Artifical Intelligence 1 month ago:
Thank you. I should have gotten that.
- Comment on Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future? 1 month ago:
Assuming it’s a surprise, this is Earth All Along. Genre Shift is similar, but that’s more about tone than plot
- Comment on What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres? 1 month ago:
If you don’t mind gacha games, I’ve been enjoying Honkai: Star Rail. The battles are turn based, some of the puzzles and events are a bit reaction time dependent, but not difficult generally.
- Comment on Jazz hands 1 month ago:
Sadly, it is. (But not for Fallout specifically.)

- Comment on Doctor skillfully compares overeating with alcohol addiction and how we can get it under control 1 month ago:
Interesting.
Although I’m sceptical about that working for me specifically: I have a very weak sense of smell and therefore taste, so sweet, salty, umami, etc is probably much more of my tasting experience compared to most people. Without that I think I’d be left with not much at all.As an example, spicy (‘hot’) food to me is pure pain. I literally can’t comprehend how there could be any kind of flavor to it that people not only enjoy, but so much that they actively seek it enough to build a tolerance to the capsaicin.
- Comment on Doctor skillfully compares overeating with alcohol addiction and how we can get it under control 1 month ago:
Seriously, that’s a horrible ending, with no advice on how that might be feasible.
And it sounds worse to me than just being overweight and eventually getting diabetes and dying early.
