  • I am in my 40s and almost every day it still pops back into my head how freaking amazing it was in high school chemistry watching water in the beaker above the bunsen burner stay the same temperature while all that damn energy went into the phase change.

    I also have a pond in my back yard as a hobby. The ice has pretty much all melted now, after a lot built up during the very cold weather we had a while back. But holy hell, I started up the waterfall pump while there was still ice in places but water could flow. I had big slabs of ice that were in MOVING water and did not melt for DAYS because the water was almost the same temperature. It looked wrong, but the energy just wasn't there to do otherwise.

  • But without this ridiculous heatsink, we never would have gotten the most perfectly nerdy Lemmy post.

    And to give it credit, I think this design wins for how much heat you can sink into the heatsink itself before you need somewhere else to put it!

  • Literally just today on the drive home I was wondering to myself what would be the best way to generate a list of like 100 songs that are exactly like the handful of best ones that I never skip and that hit every time.

    I didn't know this was an ADHD thing!

    What has worked best for me in the past, funny enough, was to discover music the old fashioned way. I started with songs, bands, or sub-genres that I liked, and just loaded albums and discographies rapid fire into my jellyfin server.

    I'll occasionally listen to an album, but when I'm feeling adventurous I typically just hit shuffle on the entire library. Every once in a while, a track that belongs on "the list" will light up my neurons and hopefully I have a hand free to add it. Otherwise, it may be lost to the sands of time.

    In my case "the list" is comprised mostly of thrash, groove, or industrial metal that is energetic enough to occupy the music box in my head so I can calmly get some work done or enjoy a stretch of country road.

  • White House says Spain has agreed to cooperate with US military; Spanish government promptly denies any such agreement

    Jump

  • Honestly I think it's a tried and true shameless asshole business strategy of his or something. You tell everybody you made a deal and brow beat the other party into just going along with it instead of trying to correct history.

    It might not work for many people and businesses, but it probably works for a narcissistic trust fund scumbag that was handed a real estate empire and taught strategy by the very man who raised Donald Trump to have the personality he does.

  • Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable

    Jump

  • I personally might not use a headphone jack or SD card slot very much, but for the market that a GrapheneOS phone would be targeting they seem like OBVIOUS things to include.

    The crowd getting excited about this partnership is pretty much the same crowd that complains about features like those going away.

  • Father sues Google, claiming Gemini chatbot drove son into fatal delusion

  • Then make the machine try to keep people talking for as long as possible...

    That's probably a huge part of it. How many billions of dollars have been spent engineering content on a screen to get its tendrils into people's minds and attention and not let go?

  • Trump administration has still not settled on reasons for going to war with Iran

    Jump

  • That just seems like semantics. It seems pretty fair to call country A bombing the shit out of country B and killing its leader an act of war.

    I think a lot of my fellow Americans find it easy to not think of as a "war" because they see no risk of Iran attacking the continental US. They'll just send their thoughts and prayers to whoever deployed over there catches the bullets.

  • Conversation Starters

  • Bold move to combine their names and then give it those damn "we've forced AI into this" sparkles, lol.

  • Trump administration has still not settled on reasons for going to war with Iran

    Jump

  • It's also very possible that the war is a roudabout consequence of the child rape, assuming Epstein was a Mossad honeypot and Israel really really wants the US to be blowing up Iran right now.

  • Multiple US embassies are telling Americans they cannot evacuate or help them get out of the Middle East

    Jump

  • Trapped Americans getting whoopsie-killed as shit all over the place gets blown up? That sounds like a great justification for throwing more money and lives at attacking the Epstein Files-- I mean, Iran.

    Honestly I would be more surprised if it were simply a gutted and incompetent goverment, rather than intentional.

  • Trump Admits He Has No War Plan in Bombshell Letter

    Jump

  • The question is: did he even read it before it got sent over?

    It seems like having a staffer draft the letter isn't a huge deal, but a normal president would personally approve it, I imagine.

  • U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus

    Jump

  • You know, believing oneself to be the antichrist DOES mean you are pretty much the most important and impactful human on the planet. Like Time Person of the Year multiplied by Jesus.

    That sounds like peak narcissism.

    That makes me think it could be true. :/

  • Witnesses Describe Horror Scene After “Double-Tap” Bombing Kills Over 20 at Popular Tehran Square

    Jump

  • The fuckers driving this stuff are so mustache-twirling stupidly evil that they are probably doing it on purpose to ensure that part of their legacy is that the next generation can be convinced to treat entire nations' worth of people as violent animals.

  • Is there currently an influx of bots in the Fediverse, or is it just that the usual patriotism is kicking in?

    Jump

  • There are a lot of people out there, so many things can be true at once.

    I think it's inevitable that some people use labels as excuses just because awareness of those conditions is so much higher. I also think it's inevitable that there are a lot of people who struggled all their life with things that are difficult to diagnose or weren't on the minds of parents and teachers 30 years ago.

    And there's probably no way to ever say definitively, with evidence, either way on this -- but it would blow my fucking mind to find out that Lemmy didn't have a neurospicy percentage of participants significantly higher than the general population.

    And even if that were known to be untrue, I think Lemmy also attracts people who are more aware, open, and accepting of that stuff in themselves and others.

  • The Post-Work Pipe Dream

    Jump

  • Ya know, while at work today I took a break from the computer stuff to sketch out some concepts for plumbing that I'm going to rework at home for one of my hobbies, a pond.

    Maybe I would be the guy in the OP that goes around fixing pipes! Then once I'm in the door I'd offer to install Linux on any computers I see.

  • Insider Confirms Sony Ditching PC Ports: "You'll Be Seeing Fewer Single Player Games Arrive on PC."

    Jump

  • Ohh noooo!

    Now my backlog of games that should be shrinking is only going to grow by 10% next year instead of 12% like it could have!

    The tech companies haven't driven me to the point of utter contempt for consoles like they have for phones, but at the same time I have multiple PCs and more games than I will ever play.

  • GrapheneOS and Motorola partnership for next privacy-protecting phone

  • StarTAC hand-me-down as my first cell phone.

    Motorola Droid as my first smart phone.

    I haven't had many Motorolas, but my limited history with them has been pretty alright!
