  • Cleaning plastic containers in a dishwasher is a source of microplastic pollution, study finds

    Jump

  • No offenses, but I'm gonna put a lot more weight behind a peer reviewed Nature paper, rather than some random podcaster.

    The explained their methodology pretty well. They extrapolate the microplastics amount from a small bit of cortical tissue, and compared it to previous results. Yeah there might not be as much in other parts of the brain, but we don't have a reason to think it would be drastically different.

  • The Potsdam Gravity Potato

    Jump

  • Based on Wikipedia I think the unit is milligals, where a gal is 1 centimeter per second squared.

    That is a bit of an odd unit where g is ~980,000 milligals.

    So these changes are extremely small.

    So then the total variation is all within about 0.02% of gravities normal value

  • Newton's laws, including gravity and motion, can be expressed in terms of differential equations.

    Differential equations pretty much requires calculus, which just hadn't been formalized yet.

    Newton's laws also provide convincing reasons for the necessity and legitimacy of calculus, by being able to derive orbits from his simple laws.

  • Oh it comes with a headphone jack too. Looks pretty nice.

  • Why is the resolution limited at 90hz?

    There should be plenty of bandwidth to run 2x2560x2560 at 90hz. That should only be ~28.3gbps, which is less than dp 1.4 max of 32.

    And it's less bandwidth than a 4k monitor at 240hz, though that requires DSC.

  • How Three Alleged Tesla Vandals Got Caught

    Jump

  • These people got caught because someone found their car and thus license plate.

    Another had left a fingerprinted bottle that went missing when watching surveillance footage.

    And then were able to confirm after finding the same outfit from the surveillance footage.

    The lessons to be learned are to not use cars anywhere near the scene, leave no trace, fingerprints or digital evidence, including a phone, and make sure any recognizable clothing is well hidden, or even better thoroughly destroyed.

    Oh and don't post anything on social media.

  • More Americans Rode a Bike Than Ever Before in 2024, Youth Participation Saw the Biggest Surge

    Jump

  • Probably also ebikes, they take away a lot of what sucks as a bike commuter, or for recreation.

    It shouldn't be seen as poverty, as in some cases biking is more convenient, especially in more urban area where parking is harder to find.

  • Home alarm systems, yah or nah?

    Jump

  • No it doesn't, so that's why I didn't speculate on the cause. But the statistics don't lie, and you'd be a fool for assuming you'd be the exception.

    As for speculation, guns are tools of escalation. Pulling a gun on robber while half asleep can turn a robbery into a homicide. Not to mention all the stories of people who shoot at intruders who turn out to be police from a no knock warrant and inevitably kill someone.

    But it doesn't matter what the cause for it really is in the end. Owning guns don't make you safe.

  • Home alarm systems, yah or nah?

    Jump

  • Statistically if you have a gun your risk of death by homicide doubles, and suicide rate triples citation.

    Guns don't make you safe. Dogs are a are an actually effective deterrent for example citation.

  • Donut Lab and the electric motors everyone has been talking about

    Jump

  • The smallest 3kw motor could likely be used on ebikes. If that's not enough just add another motor for 6kw, and that's more than enough for an ebike.

    Might be a tad low on toque though.

  • How to stop "Fall in love" so easily?

    Jump

  • Try and flip the fantasies on their head.

    Try looking for odd quirks and mannerisms that bother you and imagine how annoying it would be to be with a partner that does those things all the time.

    Look for the particular ways they want to be cared for in the manner and how you would not be suitable to meet them, and that they might be happier with someone else.

    Also just spend more time with them, and the infatuation will either fade or you'll realize you do really like them, which is OK, let them know, and it's OK if it's not reciprocal (though this is actually quite hard as a lot of women are conditioned to not believe men who say this).

  • Does the USA simply have no food safety standard at all?

    Jump

  • Ehh, kinda? I mean there is no plastic on earth that does not produce microplastics when combined with heat, but the science on how bad that is for people is very new, as plastic packaging for food is still relatively new.

    We don't know how bad or not microplastics are, but everyone is being exposed to a lot.

  • You're not talking science, you're being nitpicky, condescending, and pedantic.

    You can talk science when you bring out the math, demonstrating the scale of differences of vehicle weight on the acceleration of a pedestrian, or when you have published your own safety study.

  • Has any country actually solved the housing crisis?

    Jump

  • While yes, the rich are the main problem, the bulk of resistance is the middle class. They don't want to see the value of their property go down, or see increased traffic. Even though the suggested policy changes would help them too! The brainwashing is strong among people, not just the rich.

    It's also hard, because to make meaningful changes, you need progress in at least 2 of these areas at the same time, which means you need to get people and politicians to agree on how to fix the problem!

    I see many people blaming corporate ownership as a problem, and in our current system is it is. But implementing my proposed changes would make it unpalatable for exploitive corporations, without needing to explicitly ban them!
