I usually go 10 or 15 years on a motherboard. I’ll upgrade the CPU, GPU, and RAM in that time.

Is there any research on this?

Back in the 90s, there was a theory that living near power-lines was unhealthy, but later shown to be bunk. Also similar to “electro magnetic sensitivity” like Chuck in “Better Call Saul”. Does inaudible sound effect people’s health?

As someone who’s worked in restaurants what I recognize about this bathroom is all the beautiful tile. What that means is that somewhere in the house, there is a hose that spits boiling hot water. With this hose you can clean and sanitize a bathroom stall without ever having to step inside of it.

The first restaurant I ever worked in was a fast food joint and they cleaned the whole dining room this way. They had that water heater turned up to fuck-you and it was a little scary.

I know that Xwitter is usually a reliable source, but 1000nm is outside visual range and therefore not green. Green lasers in the ~500nm range will absolutely damage a camera sensor, but you’ll need good aim and sustained illumination.

Fun fact: strip clubs don’t employ the girls.

They’re “independent contractors” who actually pay the house to use the stage or the VIP rooms. This creates a natural filter so that girls that are less popular make less money until they move on. In a mid-sized city like mine, you’ll have a hierarchy of clubs from the one with the richest clients and the hottest dancers, to the poorest clients and lest attractive dancers. Also there will be a club where black dudes are more welcome. (often the “worst” club)

So, stripping was gig work before the term. And it’s no surprise that extra-exploitative labor practices were tested out on women first.

I just wanna be clear, I’m not downvoting Sarkeesian, I’m downvoting AI slop.

Why is Hitler popular in India? Is it just an anti-British thing?

I know that some Irish and Indians sought alliance with Hitler to aid in their own liberation. Finland did the same thing, not because Britain was an Allied nation, but because the USSR was.

This is a classic example of the decline of the American standard of living!

Boomer misogynists were able to hate their wives. GenX hated on their girlfriends. GenY is forced to hate women in theory.

The responses to this post are why I like lemmy.

I read this meme and dropped in here to pile on the Christian, only to find out that ya’ll are more knowledgeable and kinder than I am.

Tax that peckerwood until he starts singing spirituals.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen official Doom packaging and media. And I’ve been playing Doom since it was new.

the price point isn’t outrageous, but it’s not compelling when an Xbox controller can be bought for a third the price. Track-pads are nice, but people playing Steam are often sitting right next to a keyboard and mouse anyway.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons to gather racial data. Knowing that black Americans are more susceptible to high blood pressure isn’t racist.

The problem was that the work tasks were supposed to occupy the students as well as teach them. The teacher was annoyed because this kind of student requires more attention than a student kept busy for the allotted time.

The idea that educating students is the primary goal of school at any level is naive. Everything up to the High-School level is half job-training and half daycare. Education is something that the student may pursue, but it’s optional.

A lot of people look down on this type of humor but I think it’s healthy for young boys to imagine what sex is like.

For the longest time, Windows defender would flag .7zip compression files as a Trojan. It would automatically delete the file as soon as I had created it.

If you’re explaining, you’re loosing.

This doesn’t make any sense. China is running out of land? Solar panels are the thing taking up too much space?

Better to build the parking lots on water so that valuable land can be used for solar panels.

Apple products are great. The Apple ecosystem is not. If you like FOSS, you’re going to have a bad time.

Putting music on my iPhone sucks because iTunes won’t recognize or transfer .FLAC format. File sharing on iPhone is really inconstant and buggy. And I need a whole 3rd party app to get the data moved. Or I can upload things to iCloud 5GB at a time.

Most of the batteries in EVs are still in service. As the tech ages, their is going to be a need for a robust recycling program. Led-acid batteries (the kind in gas cars) already has a 90+% closed supply system which means the primary input for new batteries is old batteries.

With robust recycling, resource extraction can actually go down even as we use more and more batteries.
