Hispanic refers to a person with a mix of native American and Spanish heritage created when the Spaniards conquered Latin America.
White generally just refers to a caucasian-looking person.

(Can’t wait till someone sounds off about how they got hired nine years ago).
I mean I did become a ATE tech at a solar ESU startup 4 years ago.
(That is after 9 years as an mfg eng tech at a server CM and just living in the SF Bay area with countless tech jobs of all levels)

If you were to think of each of us as a bank of servers, that would be the equivalence of a nightlight with a light sensor

IIRC yes, but they don’t keep well enough to be able to get shipped outside the regions where they grow.
They are supposed to be pretty tasty too.

I know at least a couple places (full handwash+detail) that could fit 100m walking from the parking area to the counter.
I’m sure they wouldn’t like you to drive into the waiting room.

It’s a lemmy instance

I mean, it only makes sense. Measure freedom pebbles with freedom units
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 2 weeks ago:
Not unless you are are really gunning it and on a fitted road bike.
There is a pretty big psychological aspect to it in that without putting in the work, you can become disconnected in how fast you are accelerating/moving. With bicycles you tend to work up the speed as you start to understand and get comfortable with what you are riding; a process that isn’t really present with e-bikes.
- Comment on What kind of stupid rule is that? 3 weeks ago:
The general thing to do is to peruse the menu to find what you want first to get that out of the way as the wait staff can be pretty quick when you first sit down. If the bread won’t distract you during, go for it. You just really want to get your order in when they come by as it could turn into a while before they come back.
They were probably taught something like that, but it became so corrupted that the entire reasoning was lost, leaving only an arbitrary wait time.

I already have one, but not for color tone. The ‘vintage’ is supposed to simulate candlelight, while daylight simulates the sun.

Por que los dos?
For my bedroom I have the ceiling light with two 13W(100W equiv.) for when I need the light and a 6W(6W equiv.) GE ‘vintage’ LED in a nightstand lamp for the rest of the time.

Or just simplify it using a scale to get 1 gram per liters
226.8g (8oz.) / 208.19765L (55gal.) = ~1.08935g/L

I guess cachy wasn’t very catchy.

- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 5 weeks ago:
I think I read somewhere that we do have the technology to create a Dyson sphere but it would be too much of a massive undertaking time and labor-wise at our current level.

Also, one-offs aren’t really allowed outside of r&d. Everything has to have at least one piece in a batch go through testing, including destructive.

IIRC it’s because mitochondria have their DNA and keep it stored in a circular form similar to bacteria. I think also plants having chloroplasts, while animals have mitochondria adds more evidence, given that they are very similar structures.

It’s not really being defensive, it’s more calling you out for BS.

I like their idea of aluminum cups, but the boxes they come in are unfortunately made from plastic coated paperboard. (Not sure why, with their whole selling point being more environmentally friendly.)
