Give turnips a shot! Make sure to add a beet so they get that almost neon purple color (ok, really “argon purple”) like you find in middle eastern restaurants.

If Gentoo can be both Chad and Schizo, Slack should definitely be in the Chad category too.

I mean, it’s Torvalds’ distro of choice iirc, which should count for something.

The history of the smallpox vaccine is fascinating iirc — milk maids, orphans-as-storage+transportation, really crazy stuff.

And after reading about it, one thing that’s neat is that it makes sense. You don’t need to talk about homeopathic “water memory” or whatever, and you don’t even need a solid understanding of biology — the whole thing just kinda…makes sense.

And yet, here we are…

OP needs to stop Chase-ing up votes.

But I thought they smelled bad on the outside?

No one “shatters,” “breaks,” or otherwise surpasses violates the diffraction limit. Rather, you operate in such a way that the diffraction limit does not apply.

This is not to take away from these accomplishments at all! All manner of super resolution techniques are fantastic, but they’re not violating the diffraction limit; they are violating the assumptions that go into the diffraction limit, or they are using a different definition of resolution (which is completely valid), or both.

I had an…interesting…take home exam in college. The max score was 100, but the test had 200 points. So, if confident, you could answer half the exam and still get the highest score; if not confident in answers, you could answer more questions and rely on partial credit

It was a week long take home, “open everything” (book/Internet, but no discussions online or IRL). In some ways the hardest exam I ever took, but I learned a lot, and some of the questions were specifically meant to introduce new subjects.

I would probably add “transmit power” in there somewhere, but I guess if you’re assuming regulatory limits then it’s not a big variable.

Every so often there’s a post on Lemmy about how you should stick it to your landlord and put grease down the drain.

This is why that’s a bad idea, and it sucks for everyone, not just your landlord.

Not sure how serious your comment is, but I could certainly imagine Microsoft introducing new dependencies/hooks/all-executables-must-support-copilot, etc., that break compatibility faster than Wine can keep up. Glad to hear that’s not the case!

For old stuff though…yeah, I’d hope it’s not moving backwards :)

my pro tip.

I see what you did there.

As they say, it costs a lot to be poor.

San Francisco’s current trolly bus fleet are from New Flyer, a Canadian company, though they use German motors.

Huh. I was expecting the comments to be a little more of the Fuck Cars crowd.

In my city there was a whole kerfuffle because people were fined for parking in their own driveway due to it not actually being a driveway, as there was no garage, despite having a curb cut. It sounds like this sort of thing has been changed under the new mayor.

The difference between a cheap bike and a nice bike is similar to the difference between a Chromebook and a decked out ThinkPad or Macbook IMHO.

You’re absolutely right: most folks just browse the web, and a Chromebook is enough. But the other products do have value.

Whenever I mess with my bike brakes, I only do one wheel, then a few rides later allow myself to do the other. That way if I botch it I should have another brake that sorta still works.

Except it would probably end up being a sequel and prequel at the same time…

Parent didn’t say develop, they said use. 80 acres of forest can be used as open space and not developed at all.

I think the spirit of parent comment was that if you have 80 acres of forest, but you live somewhere else and never set foot in it…well, maybe that land could be better used/enjoyed.

If you live on/near it, and enjoy it for some purpose other than strictly as an investment, that seems like you’re utilizing it.

200MWh is about 1/100 of Little Boy, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Compressed air can get out all at once given the right circumstances.

Storing energy in a way that can go boom is something I’d be a little scared of, were I a nearby resident. I’m sure thermal batteries can have gnarly failure mechanisms but I would way rather live near one of those than a giant compressed air cylinder.
