They want to privatize the post office but make TikTok government owned… JFC…

There’s a reason an insane number of the people who publicly attack pedophillia are in fact pedophiles.

Unprofessional human drivers (yes, even you) are unbelievably bad at driving, it’s only a matter of time, but call me when you can do it without just moving labor done by decently paid locals to labor done remotely in the third world.

I was going to make a joke but honestly it’s refreshing and a good sign that Lemmy is starting to get used by people who don’t know what FOSS means now. Welcome.

I like that this could mean multiple completely different things depending on what part of George Orwells writing it’s referring to.

I’m not going to transcribe the article for you dude.

You should probably read the context around a comment before replying to it.

I am… ALMOST sure they’re making a joke about farting keeping them awake.

People get a significant amount of their protein intake from sources that aren’t usually considered “proteins”. Lentils (and mung beans if you don’t think of them as lentils), wheat, rice etc all have significant amounts of protein (especially lentils). Yogurt and cheese has lots of it too. Not sure what part of India you’re in or what sort of food you’re mostly eating but my guess is you’re getting more protein than you realize.

Same reason we know what a liter is but still use pints and gallons. Because we recognize the value of the easy precision of metric when it’s needed but prefer imperial for our day to day lives.

Yeah, pretty much standard in hostile regime changes. ROC to PRC, Russian Empire to USSR, Italy multiple times, happens literally all the time in third world countries where regimes are toppled by first world backed forces to install a government more friendly to said first world country (pretty much exactly what happened in the US tbh)

If you only put distilled water in it it really doesn’t seem like an issue

We already do this at every steam based power plant in the world (basically everything but hydro, PV, and wind) and it’s done much more efficiently. Doing this stuff with tiny gadgets on micro generators like ICE vehicles is a pretty inefficient implementation, especially as it adds weight to already heavy vehicles, decreasing efficiency and safety, and increasing tire and brake wear. The only place I can imagine this being useful is very heavy vehicles that for some reason still have to be using diesel like long haul trucks/busses, diesel freight trains etc and the like. And EVEN then you’re looking at major issues with economy. If you increase the weight of a truck by 2 percent to give it a 2% increase in fuel efficiency, you are hurting not helping. 2% comes off of your GCVWR margins and suddenly you need 51 trucks instead of 50 trucks to transport a given load, not only increasing your fuel use by 2% but also increasing vehicle maintenance and tire and brake pollution by 2%

Edit: I’m not saying relatively miniaturized energy recovery systems don’t have a future, but I’m dubious it’s in transport or handheld devices. At least for the foreseeable future. Infrastructure scale however has always been a major application for energy recovery development, stirling engine, steam turrbine and TE development keeps getting further pushed to eek efficiency out of power stations, power plants, substations, emergency generators, maybe even HVAC systems and other building scale applications.

Not surprising at all, puberty is when the weird behaviour really gets into gear, hormones make you painfully awkward.

That seems pretty typical kinda unfortunate kid blunder years behaviour. If deep down they’re a good person they will hopefully figure out this isn’t a good way to get attention and look back and cringe, but there’s a risk this’ll lead to inceldom.

Most likely they are lonely and are blundering their way through trying to find a way to not be lonely

Elon gonna start sueing the EU for not buying his cars

We do not speak of it!
