It's only a fallacy when there is not evidence given that each step leads to the next.
A slippery slope argument is perfectly valid when evidence is provided.The fallacy is in the implicit and unexamined assumption that a must lead to b.
E.g
Taking heroin once is obviously a slippery slope to becoming a heroin addict because taking it once causes you to crave taking it again.
Where are you getting that number? There are many different types of supercapacitors, which vary in lifespan quite a bit, the conditions (mostly voltage and temp) also have a big impact. The article doesn't specify the type of cap used.
For instance this paper tests a supercapacitor rated for 2.7V at 2.5 and 3v. At 2.5v the cap is estimated to have a lifespan of 100yrs, with 3v scenario it's 10.
Keyboards don't get very hot, and the voltage draw is very predictable so I don't think designing a long lasting capacitor for this usecase is particularly tricky.
I would be worried about the lifespan of the solar panel, but at least it's still usable without that.
Yeah I understand why in this specific case, the obvious corruption. But the framework of laws allowed this abuse, and I want to know why this is even possible, why is unconditional discharge a sentence that is allowed to be handed out, because to me, I can't see a not corrupt way it could be applied, and it doesn't seem like a new thing, just a rare thing.
I find it way too frustrating to clean the strainer out, I personally just buy unbleached paper tea bags (i am 100% sure they don't have plastic) and put my loose leaf into that.
Teabags in prepacked tea annoying the crap out of me, why can't they be paper it is literally just as good.
I buy my tea loose and then spoon it into unbleached paper tea bags. I find this a good compromise between prepacked tea bags and use a reusable steeper (which i hate cleaning out and rarely remember to do so.
For a while, while I was on reddit I had a new account send me "my home address" every couple weeks, I think it was the same person using multiple accounts. They always got the address wildly wrong though. Which is weird because it would have been very easy to figure out what city I'm from at least.
I think the only thing that will really push adoption is if more systems ship with Linux preinstalled and those laptops are advertised primarily with linux. People aren't going to go buy a usb drive, figure out how to download an image and how to download and install a flasher and how to use that flashing tool, not when google and apple actively hamstring computer literacy in schools. They probably won't even click the "budget penguin thing" unless they already know what it is and have been sold the story of linux on that specific laptop.
In a video someone discussed the average us household income. Someone commented that that number was actually inflated and it would be better to use median. I found the article the OP was referencing and pointed out that it was in fact the median and pointed out a median is a type of average. They argued for far far too long that average exclusively refers to mean, that median "isn't even an expected value" and that they were right and I was wrong because they are an engineer who works with this all day long. I ended up getting ganged up by several different accounts, I eventually screenshotted the Wikipedia page for average and got them to all delete their posts.
listen up here's a story
About a little guy
That lives in a blue world
And all day and all night
And everything he sees is just blue
Like him inside and outside
Blue his house
With a blue little window
And a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him
While not strictly required, where i live you get to shave off a few months between the first and second levels of your license if you take lessons, and a required part of those lessons is watching an uncensored video on the consequences of drunk driving, speeding in school zones and not respecting semis. It left quite the impression.
A lot of my picks are already mentioned so I'll pick an odd one:
Air crash investigator (called Mayday in NA). It's dramatizations of the reports from air crashes, organized like a murder mystery. Surprisingly compelling.
I've never been nervous about flying but this show really underlined how safe flying is, it's actually kinda crazy how thorough the reports are and how often they lead to rule changes. I wish the same institutional dedication to safety was practised in other industries (especially cars).
Episodes that take place in the 80s have you face palming at how stupid the mistakes are, more modern episodes are almost always a combination of many many different small low chance events and minor mistakes from the pilot piling up. I usually skip the terrorist episodes though.
Yeah and powder was just trying to free her people. A central theme of the series is good people doing bad things for good reasons. Calling any character a villian feels like missing the point to me.
I don't agree s2 wasn't as good but not for that reason.
I think it's more people discovering linkrot, and social media platforms downranking links more than simple knowledge of screenshots. Deep fried memes have been a thing for literally forever, remember demotavational posters that always ended up nested to hell:
