Front is back, the gate is down, what next?

They’re going to…pull a vacuum in a concrete sphere deep underwater. And then use the force of water being sucked back in to turn a turbine.

…sure.

They do publish pretty good information about home canning, though in batch sizes more and more of us aren’t going to do because we’re not putting up 10 acres worth of vegetables.

I’m gonna eat a lot of brains until the protagonist blows my head off with an unrealistic shotgun.

You rarely encounter pure water out in the world; even rainwater will have things dissolved in it.

Even then, there may be chemicals like solder flux or electrolyte from a leaky capacitor that water might dissolve and become conductive enough to cause problems.

Compact Disc Digital Audio is difficult to improve upon in terms of quality. For day to day listening I’ll either use mp3 or FLAC but especially as the streaming services enshittify I’ll take my media on CD, thanks.

Both of my cars have CD players, I probably ought to burn some discs to listen to. I often drive in silence these days.

I did notice my dentist’s office is decorated with various posters and such that say “smile” and none of them say “chew”

What is it with people on Lemmy and “I’m [height] with unusually [shoe size] feet”?

It’s like how Firefox’s homepage almost always recommends an “article” about hearing aids.

it’ll happen to you.

I’m in this comment and I begrudgingly like it. Carry on.

I still hate “leverage” used as a synonym for “use.” “We leverage technologies” yeah sure, when was the last time you had your asshole leveraged?

Well, was it worth learning that about it?

I honestly didn’t find it to be that much better of a mouse, the angle of the ball meant I couldn’t move it as far in the vertical axis, and the rubberized coating on mine perished so it’s got petroleprosy now.

I think I missed that episode of Family Guy.

The mouse I defurred is in fact an M570 trackball, and yeah I usually have the ball out of them quite frequently to clean the three little points. My old Microsoft branded trackball had a much larger hole to push out the ball, this one is barely big enough for a finger, and the one on the MX Ergo is so small you can’t even use most pens.

Nope. She’s an ordinary short hair. It’s just shedding season and I haven’t brushed her enough.

This kind.

So, the hub of the mouse wheel, imagine a wad of cat hair you would think would completely fill that space comes out. And then three more.

I’ve long thought that phones needed a taze button. Every telephone in the world should have the power to deliver a high power electric shock to the user, and the phone network should only allow the callee to taze the caller. So if you call someone, the person you have called can taze you.

I don’t see any problem with the telephone network that can’t be solved by putting a 30,000 volt potential across the caller’s jaw. Make it work on call bots too, if a computer automatically calls you and you don’t want it to, put Shearon Harris on the line. Modern problems require 2nd Amendment solutions, and if you elect me as your president in 2028 it is these policies that I shall energetically enact.
