Scotch as in the tape, not the whisky

  • tomorrow is monday again, folks

  • Dryer started making a burning smell yesterday.

    Here, take this

    I belive in you!

  • op here, I reposted this from a group chat and didn't notice, sorry for forever cursing your eyes with the forbidden art

  • wha wha what

    no, it's an organic solvent like ethylene carbonate/propylene carbonate + some other stuff, which have a boiling point of 230+°C ( 446°F)

    heating up batteries is (mostly) fine (under controlled scenarios with known good batteries, spicy pillows can always happen with bad batches) as long as the plastic holding them together doesn't melt

    you physically CANNOT make a lithium ion battery with water because lithium reacts with water

    from the wikipedia page

    Lithium reacts vigorously with water to form lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrogen gas. Thus, a non-aqueous electrolyte is typically used, and a sealed container rigidly excludes moisture from the battery pack. The non-aqueous electrolyte is typically a mixture of organic carbonates such as ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate containing complexes of lithium ions.[45] Ethylene carbonate is essential for making solid electrolyte interphase on the carbon anode,[46] but since it is solid at room temperature, a liquid solvent (such as propylene carbonate or diethyl carbonate) is added.

  • out of the loop european here, what's happening on April 23rd

  • top gear special

    yea that's pretty much it

  • as someone who has tried to make a furnace to melt metals, I envy iron age people who could do it successfully (unlike me) with no fancy tools or materials

  • I've been in Vienna from time to time, and it's pretty good, 365€/year for the pass that gets you buses, trams and subways with unlimited access and no turnstiles anywhere, you just go and enter

    Schedules follow work hours and go from a subway every 2 minutes during peak hours to one every 15mins late at night

    You have night line buses for weekdays and on Saturday night public transport doesn't shut down

    Coverage is good, you almost always have a bus or tram line less then 5 minutes of walking

    There are bike sharing places with 20 bikes each ~1km apart and they cost 60 cents for half an hour, or e-scooters in the designed locations which are basically everywhere (but being owned by companies they cost so much more then everything else)

  • isn't adoption free?

  • meanwhile, farmers after the 78th kick on their tractor

  • I usually charge a bottle of alcohol

    if I try to mention getting something in return for my constant tech support to the whole family I instantly get the "we raised you, how grateful" treatment

    ofc if something completely unrelated breaks it's my fault and I'm required to fix it

  • use parental controls and disable app installing

  • same for touch screen tapping. They just hammer their finger and keep it there for 5 seconds, then wonder why it didn't work

  • malicious compliance, I like it

  • you make a wire, you coil the wire

  • Removed

  • how do you manage to step on a nail that's perfectly vertical without knocking it over
