  • Jucika and the family dinner

    Jump

  • We weren't allowed to have the TV on at dinner, either. And it was okay if no one had anything to say, but usually people did.

    I think those things are pretty unhealthy behavior.

  • Jucika and the family dinner

    Jump

  • Growing up, my parents didn't let us have stuff at the dinner table, and we were expected to be home for dinner unless there was something special going on. I never really thought much about it at the time, but since then I've known so many people whose families didn't eat together normally and I feel like the difference is meaningful.

  • I don't believe that's true - handedness is a real thing. You might be able to learn to perform well enough with the other at something with practice, but that doesn't mean there isn't a naturally dominant hand for most people.

  • For sure, and much more doable, though still relies on being able to make a metal vessel that can hold pressure.

  • Okay, but you still need to get electricity to the electric motor. How would you so that?

  • So then you have copper cables covered in something to insulate them that are long enough to cover a whole field, which by itself would likely be problematic at the time.

    For most applications, I'm guessing the windmill directly to the machine is going to make more sense, though of course that has to be a stationary machine.

  • I understand that but it's not useful in this context, is it? You make an electric motor to power something, and then you have to use a mechanical generator to power the motor. How is that helpful? Unless you also know how to make batteries.

  • Don't you need to vacuum the air out of that glass so the wire doesn't just burn up?

  • Where do you get the electricity for your motors?

  • I love that show - it and The Twilight Zone are probably my all time favorites. The production is amazing and it's just so fun and interesting.

  • Unexpectedly interesting and educational cartoon discussion thread.

  • That is very truly unfortunate.

  • Google

    Jump

  • Yeah, for a while there was really good progress on search results serving up the things you're looking for, and not just by Google. I remember how impressed I used to be by the Amazon search engine. I could put a description of something that I didn't know the name of into the search box and the first result was usually what I wanted. I could sort by user rating and usually get the best one on top.

    Now there are pages of sponsored products that keep getting shown if you keep scrolling. The search engine has become completely enshitified, and so many bots have created positive and negative reviews that the ratings are way less useful.

    Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of Trump and Hegseth’s religious rhetoric

    Jump

  • Yeah, and honestly I'm all on board with celebrating someone who really does turn their life around. It can be really tough to break the cycle. But so many of these folks are just outright hypocrites. They'll go to church and listen to the preacher talk about the ten commandments and the sermon on the mount. They'll say that those things should be law. Then they'll cheat on their spouse, advocate for the death penalty, celebrate concentration camps for families with children here illegally, and a host of other things that their book is unquestionably against. It's gross.

  • Sadly, many americans think it's "a christian nation," and that our laws should be based on christianity.

    Oh, except the parts about loving your neighbor, treating foreigners like family, not killing anyone, etc.

  • It's hard for a lot of people to get past the look of something or someone. Hopefully the people you know who saw the disheveled version of you would just want to know what's wrong.
