  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

  • I know I has nothing to do with your story. But I just spent the weekend removing barbed wire fencing. And I just want to say, fuck barbed wire. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put that shit up should be wrapped in it and pushed down a steep slope.

    And by whoever I mean my great grandfather. But also everyone else involved. All the way to the factory making it.

  • BMW’s Newest “Innovation” is a Logo-Shaped Middle Finger to Right to Repair

    Jump

  • There is a really, really simple solution to this problem. This might sound crazy, but hear me out. Maybe don't buy their cars? Not like there's a lack of competition.

  • BMW’s Newest “Innovation” is a Logo-Shaped Middle Finger to Right to Repair

    Jump

  • It's almost, as if the article answers that question with a resounding "no, that's not going to help either."

    But the novelty wears off the moment you consider the physics. Because this head prioritizes branding over utility, neither the bit nor the screw head can withstand the torque of a standard Torx or Hex fastener. The result? Broken bits, stripped screws, and more time spent on what would otherwise be a simple task.

  • Winter Olympics in crisis as athletes deplete entire stock of 10,000 free condoms

    Jump

  • You have thousands of athletes, who are in the best shape of their lives. 20-30 years old. It's hardly surprising they hook up with eachother.

    I don't think they grab them for the logo. I'm pretty sure they are being used, frequently.

  • Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software

    Jump

  • Don't forget the Europe that told apple to fuck off with their own charger bullshit.

    I remember when every single phone had their own charger. It was not fun.

  • Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models

    Jump

  • I think it'll have the opposite effect. Knowing the hardware won't change in the next year, they don't have to worry about making it compatible with the new cards. They can focus on building upon what they already have.

    And as someone that helped pick out a fantastic PC for my little cousin in dec last year, she paid ~500$ for pretty decent hardware, and so far, she hasn't found a game in my library her PC can't handle. Including "wh40k Space Marine 2"

    There's plenty of hardware for younger people that want to get into the hobby. You don't always need the absolute latest.

  • Why Isn't News of Trump Building Vast Concentration Camps Being Treated as a National Emergency?

  • You misspelled executed.

  • They're also imprisoned. Though to be fair, all languages are silly sometimes.

    But a more accurate word to describe them might be captives, rather than prisoners. But both are correct

  • TIL that "aspirin" was actually originally a trademarked brand name owned by Bayer.

    Jump

  • You are mistaken, but it's such an easy mistake to make as you'll see. Adrenaline is the name for the naturally occuring hormone.

    A brand name, and trademarked name (in the US) for the drug which consisted of extracted Adrenaline, Was "Adrenalin".

  • Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World

    Jump

  • Thank you. I didn't know that.

  • Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World

    Jump

  • I'm not arguing for oil. Yet the current production costs for lithium batteries, compared to their lifecycle, rivals that of combustion propulsion. That doesn't mean we should stop researching and finding better methods. But it's far from as "environmentally" friendly as you think it is.

    Oh, and Europe have oil. Plenty of it. Where would you like start? The coast outside Norway? The vast natural gas reserves in western Russia? The ocean outside of Scotland, maybe it just happenes to be a shit ton of oil under Greenland which is 100% unrelated to why Trump wants to own it.

    I'm still not arguing for or against oil. I'm saying Europe isn't following the US, and Europe isn't interested in following China either. Europe is interested in carving out sustainability for themselves without US or China.

  • Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World

    Jump

  • Yeah, they just found it late last year. And still working out how they should bring it up. They've made estimates on the amount, i'm not qualified to verify their estimates.

    If they can actually bring it up we have security in the materials required to make the research worth it.

    But no, we have not dug up all of the ground to get oil. Oil is a lot more liquid than lithium ore. We can pump up the oil without having to excavate the entire surrounding area.

    I'm not saying that to defend oil. But the funny part about it is that if they had dug up all of the ground to get it, they would have found their lithium deposits sooner. Because they found it in an oil-field.

    You can research all you want, but the periodic table is not changing, and Chinese R&D is decades ahead of the West.

    What does that even mean? Do you have any idea how long ago it was since we found the last naturally occurring element? Should we have just stoped all research I the early 1900's because "the periodic table is not changing". Dumbest shit I've heard all years. And yes, I did hear about Trumps email to Norway. You still win.

  • Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World

    Jump

  • It is a lot more complex than "Europe is actually following America more than China in this".

    Europe have very limited lithium deposits compared to China. Europe is trying to be as self sustaining as possible, especially now that the US have shown themselves to be a highly unreliable partner.

    So exchanging one dependency for another is a poor lateral move at best.

    You can't just start digging up the entire ground and make car batteries out of all lithium you find.

    European universities all over are researching alternative battery technology that doesn't rely as much on lithium.

  • There's this really neat thing called nuclear reactors that produce an enormous amount of energy. It's only been around for ~70 years but they look promising.

  • Fuming Bondi Loses It at Prosecutors Quitting Over ICE Killing Probe

    Jump

  • This has to be the hundredth time I'm saying this. But no. What you are wishing for the prosecutor's to do, is not only illegal, but highly unethical. We're talking disbarred levels of unethical.

    The right course of action is what they were doing. Resign. Make headlines. Bring attention. And if the government want to shoot themselves in the foot and fire you without cause because you wished to resign. Well, I'm sure they're wiping their tears with their separation pay package.

    Win win.

  • Life pro tip for friends of pharmacists

    Jump

  • As far as I'm concerned, "threatening" to use your own body in an attempt to raise antibiotic resistant bacteria, is self harm.

    You don't have to agree. That's fine.

  • Life pro tip for friends of pharmacists

    Jump

  • Yeah. So we agree that she's threatening self harm (minimum) to solicit a response from someone. Emotional manipulation.

    I'm glad we managed to argue our way to what we already concluded from the start.

  • Life pro tip for friends of pharmacists

    Jump

  • If you are promoting antibiotic resistant bacteria in your body, is that not self harm? I sure think it is.

    Not all self harm is cutting, starving, or suicide.

  • Life pro tip for friends of pharmacists

    Jump

  • What you just said, is that stopping the treatment early is detrimental to the human race. Did you perhaps mean the opposite?

    Otherwise I'm not sure why you're trying to argue with me that one should fulfill their treatment plan. I already agree.

    I'm not attributing malice. I'm calling it for what it is. Emotional manipulation, intentional or not is beyond the point.
