  • You weren't there for the Leftpad fiasco, I take it?

  • Any advice y’all got for someone like me going to college?

    Jump

  • I would rather saw myself in half from crotch to crown with a muzzle loading musket than go back to college.

  • Why did your last relationship fail?

    Jump

  • The short version of the story is I was seeing a nurse, then Covid happened and she did the travel nurse thing and I never saw her again.

    In fact...remember those 3D printed notebook divider face masks? I had volunteered to make a bunch of those, including one that, one spool ran out so I started another spool so it came out two-colored. Just so happens she was the point of contact between the hospital and the maker community, so she was the one tasked with the "how to correctly use" instructions, and that was the one she wore in the demo pictures. Those are the last pictures I have of her.

  • Where do they learn this shit?

    ALL WOMEN, HEAR ME: The one enemy he will not fight against for you IS YOU. Why would he fight for you if you're the problem in the first place?

  • We're being hailed!

    Jump

  • I mean just simply...how is the thing held together? The crew just walks up to a wall, grabs a panel and yanks it off. You can peel the Enterprise like an orange.

  • Question: in all of the shows, particularly the TNG era 24th century ones, did they ever depict using a wrench to turn a bolt or anything like that? Occasionally they'll fire a little laser at something...

    Is the Enterprise entirely toolless?

  • Japanese street photographer, Masayuki Oki, captures the everyday lives of Tokyo’s street cats in funny poses.

  • He's gonna give it a try.

  • More Americans now support banning phones all day at school, not just in class

    Jump

  • Back in the good old days when homosexuality was a felony, the cure for autism was an ice pick lobotomy, and certain people would be killed for being caught in nice neighborhoods? Proper society.

  • Microsoft responds to LG monitors installing McAfee ads on Windows

    Jump

  • Why is McAfee still a company? What is the business case for such fuckrot software? Who even pays who here?

  • What is your least favourite thing about dating or romantic relationships?

    Jump

  • All the goddamn lying.

  • Art on the walls

  • He's got the bulk, the fluff and the lionesque snout.

  • Where my klitoris users at?

    Jump

  • You'll hear Dacron in the aviation industry, to refer to "naked cloth" coverings like you see on ultralights, in contrast to something like poly-fiber which is the modern equivalent of cloth and dope.

    Jump

  • Or a Trackpoint driver.

  • New clean energy comes out. look inside It’s just boiling water again…

    Jump

  • I will uno reverse umm achkshually you. Heat is not synonymous with infrared light. Objects with heat will emit energy into their environment as EM radiation. That heat can also be conducted away through contact with another object.

    All objects with heat do give off a wide spectrum of EM radiation, with the uppermost frequency being proportional to the object's temperature. A very cold object might only give off radio waves. Room temperature objects, like you, glow in the infrared. Above 500C or so, objects start glowing visibly red, then orange and yellow. A phenomenon we call incandescence.

    Objects that absorb light can and often do increase in heat, PV panels turn some of the energy that strikes them as light into electrical energy rather than thermal energy.

  • No that would probably be the xfce equivalent.

  • New clean energy comes out. look inside It’s just boiling water again…

    Jump

  • You've probably heard of an internal combustion engine, like what power cars and airplanes. Well there's such a thing as an external combustion engine - a steam engine. A steam engine just needs some source of high pressure steam, the source of heat you find to boil the necessary water is almost a separate problem. You could use a wood fire, a coal fire, an oil fire, a natural gas fire. I've seen a small steam engine that runs on a tea candle. Heat from a geothermal vent, concentrated sunlight, or nuclear power.

    How about a diesel engine? Large oceangoing vessels with 2-stroke diesel engines the size of a duplex put out a lot of waste heat, plenty enough to boil water and run a steam turbine engine. The diesel engine provides main propulsion, the steam engine powered by its exhaust provides electricity. Ships with such a system can shut down their aux engines while underway saving tons of fuel per voyage.

  • Photovoltaic panels don't turn heat into electricity. It turns light into electricity.

  • Trump voter angry as ICE take nanny—‘I thought we were targeting criminals’

  • I doubt it can.

  • Yeah most space age material names are. It's dacron wrapped in mylar surmounted in inconel plated in clyno and attached with velcro. Which of those did I make up?
