  • We used to be. The rules changed about 10 years ago.

    A lot of big appliances require higher power. Dishwashers, clothes dryers, fridges.

    Some powers tools, drill press, plainer.

    I never worry about load splitting,.

    The benefit of the AS/NSZ plug, is that it isn't much bigger than the US plug, but has a higher power density.

  • Have you noticed this?

  • Am I a good person?

    What is the nature of "goodness", how do I encapsulate that into "me"; can I be good whilst doing bad things? Are bad thoughts enough to eliminate goodness, or is action required?

  • RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite (GamersNexus new Linux Benchmarking is here!)

  • How is Bazzite with Waydroid?

    I am looking to change my Sons laptop from Mint; he is using Minecraft education for some things at school. It is an older dell laptop; but has plenty of power for a 10yo kid.

  • It is a bit silly.

    But the reason is; the faithful are the prize. The unfaithful are already damned; why would the demons bother with those already going to hell?

    I'm a lifelong atheist; it is all just superstition; but the logic is not flawed in this case.

  • But they're taking over!

    Jump

  • Clearly they are worried about the ultra-efficient Muslims; who with such a tiny percentage of political power; are taking over.

    I can charge my electric car from a standard outlet. Can add 20kWh overnight, which is plenty for 3 days round town driving.

    230V at 15A on a standard outlet, plug only slightly larger than the American one.

  • Trump says Ukraine has ‘zero gratitude’ for peace plan amid international talks

    Jump

  • It is not a peace plan; it is a piece plan, as in Russia gets a piece of Ukraine plan!

    Come on guys, I thought this was obvious at this point.

  • Thai woman found alive in coffin after being brought in for cremation

  • Yes you are!

  • The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this.

  • I call this the curtain; when I imagine something, like a tree, I can't see the tree. But it is still there; just like it is behind a black curtain, no images from the tree can be seen.

  • Yep....me for 40 years; that is just a metaphor to help think about things. Then one day reading about aphantasia....WTF!!!!!people can actually see, it's not just a metaphor.

    But then I had a conversation with my partner; she can combine flavors in her mind and know, pretty accurately, what stuff will taste like; it is one reason she loves cooking.

    People can actually get a song stuck in their heads....again, not a metaphor.

    Mind blown!!!!

    My 7yo can project images from his mind into the world; what the hell. He can "watch" movie when looking at the wall when he is in bed going to sleep; with the sounds and everything.

  • Waydroid on Mint or replace Mint?

  • I don't mind waiting....the 9yo however does mind 🤷‍♂️

  • Quite the realization in the midst of electro class..

  • Now that you have successfully gotten your brain to flip the cube in to the different orientations; now while it is flipping flatten it to a 2D shape with a small square in the middle.

  • I am a 5 on this scale, and for all other senses. No smell, sound, touch or taste either.

    So yea; it when I say my inner monologue is pretty much my whole thought process.

    It totally blew my mind; when I realized others could see actual images in their heads.

    The no inner monologue thing still boggles me. Considering my point of view; where it is all of my inner self.

  • The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this.

    Jump

  • This one I find difficult to comprehend.

    My inner monologue is petty much my entire thought process. How does one think and rationalise without one?

  • I play DnD with a lot of theatre or the mind. I'm a 5 (also 5 with all other mental sensors).

    It isn't to hard, you just remember the description, the detail and context.

    If the story is engaging, it is easy.

    I'm a big fan of story, some writers rely too much on imagery, great writers story transcends the imagery.

    E.g. I can't stand Tolkien, too much time describing (for me) pointless visual detail. Love Pratchett's work, the story and subtext are amazing.

    Basically if you let them live in your head, then they are "the jerks". Once you transcend their bullshit, you are free.
