  • You probably mean Hero of Alexandria's aeolipile

    If they didn't treat it like a toy, they would defifnitely realize they can increase the efficiency using pistons and make a practical device like a pump.

  • They would be too powerful without it. They were close to an industrial revolution, which would have been a major tipping point in world history.

  • My encounters with the police have been civil and positive. However, I'm not Roma so...

  • The infographic appears to be noob-friendly because of its title but then expects you to know what VPARP is and what it's for

  • Funding cancer, not research

  • 0.50 $/kWh is a normal price in Europe now

  • My household of 7 averages 900 watts year-round.

  • Do you also hear a ticking sound? If so, the car just entered a SUICIDE BOMBING MODE. It's on a timer to let you escape; follow the arrow for the nearest exit.

  • ...to a rich guy who allegedly thought he'd be getting Tower Bridge

  • Yes, most millionaires are cringe but you should go after billionaires first.

  • Such buildings allow for great efficiency (it probably has its own stop on some kind of rail transit and still a reasonable cost of living) and that includes pizza delivery. Imagine delivering multiple orders a minute. The salary (and tips, even outside the US) would be great. They will probably even allow you to call the elevator with an app before you walk to it for extra speed.

  • You can totally get the images from Pinterest. I just inspect element and click through the 10 subelements but I think there are extensions and DuckDuckGo that can automate this.

  • Towel roll.

  • I have a torrent client in a country where nobody cares so I can get all the shows but I don't.

    However, I recently found an old sat box in the trash. The house still has a dish pointed at the Astra 3B (most of Europe) satellite for my grandparents' TV so I plugged it in and it can still tune in to some FTA channels that use the old MPEG-2 SD standard. They're all German, haha. I use it to browse teletext for nostalgia, I bought a hopefully compatible capture card and I'll try to archive some of it with vhs-teletext before most SD channels' broadcast shuts down for good in 2025. I found lots of auto-updated or non-updated headlines, hundreds of phone sex ads, SMS chat rooms (kind of shitty IRC where receiving is 100% anonymous but sending is $0.50 per message), use guides to analog satellite broadcast and ShowView VCR codes (how is that still running?) and found out that Germans still import like ¼ of their TV fairytales from the Czech Republic for some reason (never the other way around though).

    On ProSieben, my good old method for "skipping" ads still works. I'll be making a video about it and editing it in Movie Maker style like I'm 12 and it's 2007. My TV is that old and I can use a badly inserted RF connection to pretend analog is still running.

  • It's U+E001 from a Private Use Area. The UnicodePad app renders it as something between 鉮 and 鋁 (separate boxes stricken through; I wasn't able to find it even with Google Lens)

    No idea what the rectangles are supposed to be, I just copy-pasted it
