Well, yeah, it'd have to be a great deal.

That's why I prefer to run instead of using any of these "Otto mobiles". We have feet for a reason. Surgeons messing with my insides? No thanks. Vaccines? God almighty, no. /s

Imo it's a step in the right direction. Many drugs are used recreationally at high doses, but it turns out that at lower doses they can be used as actual medication. "Megadosing" is also a word that can be seen around. Simila

Bah, that's such a minor issue it's not even on the radar. TIM can and should be replaced anyway, fans can be fixed with some automotive grease (not all, sadly). Modding another fan onto it is also an option. The bigger problem is

I've become reluctant to do it since many people can't properly administer them and/or fall into addiction. Then again, it happens with cannabis, too. But eh, whatever, you're responsible for yourself. For me, gabapentin

Speaking of refrigerants, you can replace R22 directly, R134 sometimes directly but desirably with new oil and capillary, and probably other refrigerants with... R290 - an innovative compound that is very environmentally friendly and cheap.

Romania, Bulgaria (and soon likely Ukraine) are the Mexico of the EU. It's actually beneficial to the workers - 6 months at basically ~1500 Euros saved per month = 9000 Euros. 5-10 years of these "deployments" and you buy a n

A couple of things that I'm sad about: there are medications better than cannabis for anxiety and depression. But no one talks about them. They're on the same level as alcohol and weed when it comes to addiction potential and harm

Is it illegal to grow your own? It's the easiest way to get something low THC. Hell, you can even smoke (or better, use a dry herb vape) the leaves of any plant if the buds are too strong - from my experience, they have a more relaxing

I'd wear a vibrator up my ass all day if that thing was made for me first instead of the company. The way things are right now, none of these AR/VR/AI/PA products will succeed, and if they do, it will be in a dystopian

Apparently it's not solar concentrators/evaporators like I thought. Instead they use good old fossil fuel to do it. After reading how Bermudans adapted to limited water supply and are good at rationing even though they do have des

It works in Germany (and Nordic countries). Assembling washing machines is tedious, but not that hard, and it pays well enough to buy a flat or even a house after years on the job. Cutting and welding metal containers all day long pays ev

I mean, I've seen the same exact thing in the UK and Germany. People just don't give a fuck about their job, they come to do the minimum amount of work and fuck off. More Brits stayed for overtime, Germans preferred to leave on ti

An idea I had for this is a case that would fit two identical phones. Old models that have good Linux support and are cheap - say, the OnePlus 6t. Plenty of performance. One can run Linux (hell, people got Windows x86 running on it, it even

Given that one restriction would have to be no hot exhaust (which would damage the other cars), electric turbines would have to be used, which should make the races pretty interesting, and the technology useful, especially for electric plan

Wings(/flaps/ailerons) are great for that, too, depending on their orientation. And arguably simpler. More effective at high speeds, but then apparently so are these fans.

Actually, a big sun shade some distance away would work without using extra energy. But it would be rather hard to build, and depending on location would require the approval of a lot of people and the government.

I mean, yeah, but there's a point where natural ventilation is just not enough. That said, painting my workshop roof white was the single cheapest and most effective way to reduce temperatures during summer. "Did fine", which

I acted on them. I fell for it just like people who fall for (other) conspiracies. None of us are immune. So, during Brexit times, I read (and wrote) a lot of r/europe, r/ukpolitics, r/brexit. Which at the time were cesspools

It's not advice, I'm just barfing thoughts out in the void like everyone else. After more than a decade talking online, I finally realized that it's all pointless. It's not a fact, it's just my opinion. I loved it s

I meant the engineer to manager salary ratio is worse than it is in the US - managers make nearly twice the money for a given level of experience. Afaik the gap is not as bad in the US, but I may be wrong? Engineers turned managers would ac

The "immigration floodgates" is by far not the biggest cause of it. Forget developers, engineer salaries are pretty bad across the board compared to the US. Managers, on the other hand, are doing much better.
