  • People who don't like math, why?

    Jump

  • I find it hard to keep numbers in mind, and memorizing huge lists of numbers doesn't work well for me. I need a purpose, a story, a reason behind the numbers. I'm the weirdo who loves story problems.

    I don't like busywork, running meaningless numbers for the sake of doing it is dull to me.

  • how do you manage to go through and play a game?

    Jump

  • Sounds like you have not yet found your ideal game. Maybe an entirely different game from an entirely different genre Of gaming would be as fun as you expect these games to be.

    Oh, to answer your question; I don't. If a game has become a chore that I have to manage to get through, then it is not doing its job of being a fun thing to do. I move on to something different until I find something enjoyable.

  • Do you do anything while you watch movies/tv shows?

    Jump

  • If I want to watch something, I'm going to sit down and only watch the thing.

  • Length of video you're willing to watch?

    Jump

  • Less the length, more the subject, source, and why are they sending it to me.

    A video that explains a concept my friend has been trying to tell me about, or it's about a shared interest, I'll find the time to go through it.

    A video that "seems neat, what a concept" better be shorter than 2 minutes.

    A video from a news source "thought you should see this" not watching it and no response from me on that.

  • Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions

    Jump

  • This is great news!

    If it looks like the example photos, it's a more elegant solution. I'm not fully sold on the paper rolls vs the standard reams of paper, but being able to package the printer like that looks amazing

  • How to help someone install Linux?

    Jump

  • As you consider helping them install Linux, remember that you will be the default IT person for them. Whether it's user error, computer malfunctions, or figuring out how to add a new feature, you will be the one to ask about it.

  • To refer casually to white men's briefs, is it Tidy Whities or Tightly Whities?

    Jump

  • Huh. When I first got to Lemmy, I looked around for the no dumb questions community, look like it has grown a lot since then!

  • To refer casually to white men's briefs, is it Tidy Whities or Tightly Whities?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that word choice can unfortunately work perfectly in 2 ways. I meant white underwear in the briefs style

  • How big a solar battery do I need to store all my home's electricity? - Terence Eden

    Jump

  • Reality Is Ruining the Humanoid Robot Hype: The obstacles to scaling up humanoids that nobody is talking about

    Jump

  • Yes, more specialized robots for now. When it's harder to build for a human to do the job, build for a robot to do the job.

    At some point in the future, it makes sense to combine the features of different types of robots into one form that can step in to human jobs

  • What are some trends/fads that you are glad the world has moved on from?

    Jump

  • Just publicly saying they're in the know, and closer to the poster than anyone who doesn't know. "Look at me! I'm such a close friend that I know who they're talking about!"

  • What are some trends/fads that you are glad the world has moved on from?

    Jump

  • Oh my, yes. That one needed to die before it started. Obviously fishing for responses, refusing to elaborate, sometimes getting defensive in the comments, sometimes moving conversations to private chat.

    And the tired old "someone knows who they are!"

  • Removed

    TIL that waiting 90 minutes after waking up for your first coffee boosts energy and sleep quality

    Jump

  • Does this study assume a 9-5 schedule?

  • How to combat Ticketmaster / Livenation?

    Jump

  • Seems like artists would have some way of setting up shows outside of Ticketmaster's control.

  • Toyota Is Recycling Old EV Batteries to Help Power Mazda's Production Line

    Jump

  • So it's more of a milestone to catch early battery degradation rather than a cutoff point below which the battery is labeled useless?

  • Toyota Is Recycling Old EV Batteries to Help Power Mazda's Production Line

    Jump

  • What's so bad about 80% of the original capacity? Wouldn't there be a lot of use cases for a car with 80% of the range?

    I'm glad to see any second use for these batteries before recycling. Gotta combat the narrative that "an EV battery is trash after 5 years!"

  • How would you propose we actually combat climate change?

    Jump

  • There are ways to melt those without burning fossil fuels. Whether the alternatives are easy, affordable, or can run at a useful rate is debatable

  • How should one prepare for high inflation?

    Jump

  • I'd like to point out that OP stated they did Not want investment advice.

    I'll second another comment saying to get out of possible. Take what you can, sell what you can't take, go somewhere that is having a better time.

  • You get an unlimited supply of a single item to survive post-apocalypse. What are you choosing, and why?

    Jump

  • In the zombie variation, might want to cheat the system and ask for loaded guns. Because guns wear out and get jammed sometimes.
