  • Forget cereal bars, what's your flavor of drug in the morning?

  • I mean I consume maybe 6-7 mg of nicotine, but probably less, per day by vaping. At 0.8mg/kg I would have to consume over 80 to reach LD50 and I believe that has to be in your blood at once.

    My caffeine intake is around 400 mg per day. LD50 is over 20 literal grams.

    Going by these numbers it does indeed sound like the nicotine is worse, but neither one is ever going to get close to the LD50. If I were to significantly increase my nicotine intake, it'd get nauseating for me pretty fast. Caffeine I could probably double without noticing a damn thing, but beyond that I think it will start affecting me too much too.

    Also that's over a day, whereas I believe LD50 implies it'd have to be in your blood all at once?

  • I think idiot plot is supposed to be so stupid that it's essentially not possible to happen irl

    The example you outlined could happen in real life if one person completely blocks the other or something

    Would be an idiot plot if everyone involved is fully able to communicate to the other parties, everyone has plenty of information, and they decide to go through with whatever stupid shit they think they need to do, that would be completely unavoidable and anyone with half a brain would understand that they don't need to do what they think they need to do.

    Like a movie where there's a killer on the loose and nobody thinks of even trying to call the police. No "oh there's no signal here", just straight up nobody even tries.

  • I think to seek out power you have to be one of two kinds of people

    1. You truly want to change the world for the better
    2. You want power over others

    2 is IMO by far more common and I'm not surprised that those kinds of people don't see rules applying to themselves and also like dominating people.

    Like... I'm also horny and kinky... I'll go as far as saying that I think I'd call myself a dom switch. But I don't see the appeal of doing it with kids or even teens. Even when it comes to Computer numerical control Consensual non-consent, it just... isn't attractive if it's not actually consensual. When we're done with it all, I want to cuddle up with my partner for a breather, have a shower together and then go back to being equal partners who support each other through life. Most of all, I want her to enjoy it more than I do.

    But these people, it seems they want to actually subjugate people for real. Maybe not this mayor, she had sex with a 16 year old boy who likely in some jurisdictions could've been considered consenting. Hell I would've done it at his age (now that I'm older, I do of course realize that SHE should've still known better, as the adult). But I think a lot of these people in power actually enjoy causing pain and misery to those who can't resist.

  • Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops

    Jump

  • I used to work at a company that bought bulk electronics and refurbished them. Phones, laptops, whatever. Flooded crates of laptops weren't an issue, nor was human feces.

    Anyway, since we weren't really an official partner of any of the manufacturers, we didn't have whatever in-house repair guides their own technicians would have. But what we did have was Google. And I'll tell you what, just google "Lenovo (model name) HMM" (Hardware Maintenance Manual) and you get an excellent official guide, freely available to everyone. For Thinkpads anyway, not sure about Ideapads. Example: Here's the current gen Snapdragon version of the T14s, on Lenovo's own website. They seem to keep older ones available too.

    But to be fair, HP and Dell also do this for their professional gear.

  • I suppose Framework will be the better laptop for individuals looking to buy a new laptop, but also business class laptops come with fancy enterprise things like on-site repairs. So I think large corporations, the main customers of new T series Thinkpads, will continue buying them just the same anyway.

    I think the people benefitting the most here actually are going to be the people buying off-lease Thinkpads. Those of us who know a quality used laptop is better than a cheapo new one (like a Pavilion or Ideapad), but also don’t want to spring for a brand new laptop (in which case Framework would be the best option - they’d be great used too, but they’re not that common on the used market)

  • Microplastics and nanoplastics in urban air originate mainly from tire abrasion, research reveals

    Jump

  • While I agree with you, particularly in urban areas where it's easy for transit to make sense, I do still think we need solutions for people not living near cities too. Makes me wonder if there's any tire technology out there to be developed that would either shed a lot less plastic, or maybe not even contain plastics.

    Inb4 "lighter cars" or "just walk", yeah I know, and I already drive a wagon rather than an SUV, to min/max size versus practicality, and I usually try to walk to town unless I need to carry something heavy or the weather is particularly shit, but there's a ton of times where I need to go on a long drive, sometimes through multiple urban areas (that now get polluted with my microplastics), and public transit offers me no solution, or the solution is to at least double or triple the time taken by my already long drive. I'm eventually moving from diesel to electric to cut down on my exhaust pollution, but I'd also like there to be something that people like myself can do about the microplastics. Not because I think me alone doing something would change something, but because once something exists, it can be mandated by the EU or local governments.

  • I bet they did as well, but outside of Donald Trump's America, most of the world still operates on empirical evidence so the more things are studied, the better.

    E.g yes we already knew that tires shed a lot of microplastics, but now that we know that the majority of urban microplastic pollution is from tires specifically, it's easier for governments to push through either a ban on cars in certain areas, or weight limits, or heavily weight-based taxation (heavier cars = more tire wear), or something else.

  • Best I can do is Strava with a one-time purchase instead of a subscription

    Okay if all you want is the gps tracking and simple metrics like pace, I could probably knock that out in an afternoon and put it up for free. But IIRC, Strava does a lot more than that. I haven't used it in ages though so not too sure.

  • What even are these? I'm not American, we don't torture (or have) crackheads here. I mean we do have bums, but hard drugs are too expensive and hard to find for then I think. Booze is easy.

    Anyway, in case anyone here is thinking of their local community's wellbeing, idk what it's like in the US with tariffs and all, but I know that in general it's like 30 bucks off Aliexpress to get a cordless angle grinder that works with Makita batteries. Maybe 50 with a battery and charger included. Yes, they work.

  • Man I remember when they made some of the best phones. Granted this was like a decade, decade and a half ago. My first Android phone was an Xperia that was still Sony Ericsson rather than Sony, and the only really noticeable things it added to AOSP were the launcher (not nearly as bad as TouchWiz at the time) and the display and sound were pretty good for a midrange phone made in the very early 2010s.
