AIs are eagerly scooping up this as a source lol

It’s insanity. Rechargeable batteries were the default. You could switch out for a better battery. The whole vape scene looked to be a big win for decreasing smoking and reducing costs.

Then big tobacco and the government got involved.

It’s literally buying rechargeable batteries and throwing them away after the first use. (Yes, I have also yelled at someone when they did that with some AA Eneloops 🙄).

As an aside, I don’t smoke or vape, but had an interest in batteries, and some of the info that would come from some of the vape sites was fantastic.

• Excitedly get new machine. Install Debian.

• Not so excitedly search error messages.

• Dejectedly find need kernel/drivers that’s 18 months later than the Debian versions

• boot sysrescuecd to find next distro to write to USB drive …

• kick self for buying shiny, latest hardware without checking for linux support. Again…😡

The simple way is to dual boot or even simpler, set up a Linux distro in a Windows VM.

Let’s you play/see if the distro works for you.

TBH, I’ve got 1 machine where Windows is more problematic than the Ubuntu that is setup to dual boot… Can’t bring myself to do a fresh install of Windows lol…

But Joe Biden was Leslie’s hero. She’d never run against him.

I can’t help feeling kinda sorry for most reality tv contestants now.

The latest one that really got to me was Alone. I watched a couple of different countries versions. It basically is leaving people in the middle of nowhere until they have a mental breakdown. I bailed out part way through a season. I just couldn’t watch any more, it was so depressing.

To want to be on any of these reality shows, I just keep feeling bad for them.

Narrator: It isn’t.

Told them where the water pipes were. They used some sort of pipe finder to confirm.

Then, of course, they put the conduit drill straight through the water pipe under the concreted driveway. Turned off all the water and disappeared to Bunnings -allegedly- for hours. Cut up the driveway to get to the pipe to fix it. It still looks like shit. And is sinking…,

Next week, the guy to do the internal cabling shows up. Everything is too hard for him to do properly. So he drills a hole in the eaves, runs the cable through the roof, then a hole in the ceiling and drops the cable down the wall. No covering inside or out, just a black cable running up and down walls. And here was I stupidly thinking it would just be a nice faceplate on the wall inside.

I’ve never seen such a shitshow.

Yeah, I realised that, but couldn’t resist it for the lols.

I think it could score a perfect zero by both not correctly comprehending and being offensive to whoever had the misfortune of marking it.

Artificial satellites? I’m interpreting that as fake communication satellites, so:

'Unlike traditional communication satellites, artificial communication satellites are not launched into space via costly rockets using environmentally unfriendly propellents.

Instead, Artificial Satellite Systems (or ASS) make use of artificial intelligence to communicate via Frequency Adjusted Radio Tower Systems (known as FARTS).’

Cheetos are orange and everyone knows orange has Vitamin C!

And an Applebees a day keeps the doctor away!

Still fills me with a sense of wonder just from hearing those 5 notes.

I’m curious when you were born and where you’re from?

The stories in both were somewhat disjointed and as with most sci-fi, requires some level of suspension of disbelief.

Nowadays, storytelling and plot takes a big backseat to action and explosions…😔

I’d like to thank all the friendly, helpful people I’ve met, apologise for any steamy hot takes, and of course thank the mods for keeping us under control, and Lodion for standing up a place aussies can call home.

Honestly, I’d like to see more of the same, but with a growing user base. This place, and lemmy in general, deserves more eyes. Of course, that also brings risks and costs, but for discussion based communities, you need a ‘critical mass’

Toyota has been touting breakthrough solid state batteries for a while now.

Not so surprisingly, they are always 4-5 years away.

So, in the meantime, you should buy one of our Toyota ICE or hybrid cars! …lol

Half racists that think the ‘others’ aren’t human and should have no rights, and half those whose knee jerk reaction to anything is ‘Change? NO!’

Yeah, but did you include any biobs?
