  • xkcd #3138: Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure

    Jump

  • There is no sensible reason to sell something as a dimension before it's ready to sell, a 2"x4" should be so when sold, not when curing, it takes nothing to cut oversize to accomodate for shrinkage, or to cure and cut later at the right dimension

  • It really is

  • Even if you are being productive in task Y, you are still procrastinating X while doing Y, assuming X should be done before Y, if they have to be done by the same deadline it's not procrastinating

  • Parents of Lemmy, would you have your kids keep the bedroom door open when the gender they were attracted to comes over?

    Jump

  • Not only, be involved and actually teach them what sex is and how to do it properly

  • Linux Sees Fresh Fixes For PCMCIA PC Card Support In 2025

    Jump

  • Probably some guy working on legacy hardware found a bug, fixed it for work and while was there, pushed it.

    Or you know, some other guy with a lot of free time dusted off some old cards and wanted to play with them.

  • Is it just me or is everything updating its TOS agreement right now?

  • I noticed discord and google doing it. Didn't think much of it but maybe you are onto something

  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

    Jump

  • Not only the content doesn't exist yet, it's just not practical. Even now 4k broadcasting is rare and 4k streaming is now a premium (and not always with a good bitstream, which matters a lot more) when once was offered as a cost-free future, imagine 8k that would roughly quadruple the amount of data required to transmit it (and transmit speee is not linear, 4x the speed would probably be at least 8x the cost).

    And I seriously think noone except the nerdiest of nerds would notice a difference between 4k and 8k.

  • Bitcoin is great for the environment in the long run

    Jump

  • Energy is nof only used to "create" value, but also to hold it. Even when you reach the limit of 21 something milion bitcoins, every transaction will require a huge amount of energy, and the amount it requires will go up.

  • winter fans

    Jump

  • Can you really call it winter below 20°?

  • Ah pointless advice...

    Jump

  • I asked a therapist the same question and they said: "the problem is you are costantly trying to find a solution for a problem that doesn't have one, if you are feeling down, sometimes there really is no other solution other than waiting, processing and coping. Take your time if you are not in a crisis and let it pass through"

  • Make it make sense

  • CGP grey did a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzzSao6ypE

    Basically one car breaking too much will make the following brake even more and so on until one stops and there's a jam. There is no clear reason like a road blockage or an accident, just compounding slow down.

  • Roger Wade, former CEO of Boxfresh, was banned from attending Brighton & Hove Albion matches after wearing a Palestine #football top.

  • Not defending Israel or the UK or denying Plastine genoice, but Iran's president really wanted Israel wiped off the map and really meant it. Iran and Israel are both at the wrong here.

  • “ChatGPT killed my son”: Parents’ lawsuit describes suicide notes in chat logs

    Jump

  • Not sure about USA, but in other countries istigation to suicide is absolutely illegal and punished.

  • Pure NaCl is cloudy white, so if it has any other color, there are other minerals mixed in the crystals, the NaCl is still there, there are also a buch of other atoms

    Jump

  • If only the search function worked more than half of the time, just like it doesn't work on 10

  • [Opinion] Europe is selling its soul to Trump

    Jump

  • Even worse, Europe is paying for the priviledge

  • Fated to be alone, and giving up on dating.

    Jump

  • Just going to say this, sometimes it's useful to confront with people, but be wary of the slippery slopes of negativity that tend to develop online.

    Focus on yourself and improve first, the more you look for something, the less likely you'll get it (and yes, this desperation likely transpires on dating profiles and irl converdations).

  • rule

    Jump

  • But if a civilization is peaceful, would it exterminate another just because they are a threat? It seems quite ruthlessy egoistic. Maybe they would just intervene at some specific point, without extermination but by somehow gatekeeping our expansion and letting us live without spreading evil.

  • rule

    Jump

  • Imagine if alien life is common in the universe, but we are so ruthless and evil as a species compared to every other alien species they just don't want to have anything to do with us.

  • Just a reminder that our planet is currently the coolest it will ever be in our, and our children's lifetimes.

  • Where do you think today's problems come from? Bad education makes a generation of ignorant, functionally illiterate, warmongering subjects.
