grue@lemmy.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Gen Z men voted for Trump to drain 'the swamp.' After Epstein, they feel duped.English11·3 days ago( and the “elite pedophile cabal”)
To be fair, that part seems to have turned out to be true (albeit used as a DARVO tactic by said cabal itself).
grue@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•After using ChatGPT, man swaps his salt for sodium bromide—and suffers psychosisEnglish671·3 days agoI am literally just making this up on the spot and have no evidence for it, but I’m starting to wonder if maybe the real reason for the kinder egg ban was anticompetitive lobbying by Hershey or something like that, and the toy thing was just the excuse.
Every electronic device is 100% efficient after the electricity has already been generated and delivered, sure, but a bunch of efficiency losses occurred before that. If you’re comparing methane burned on-site in a furnace to methane burned at a power plant, transmitted to the site as electricity, and then used for electric resistance heating, burning on-site is gonna be better even if the furnace loses more heat up the chimney than the power plant does.
Also, a heat pump is “300%-500% efficient” in the sense that it moves 3x-5x as much heat as it uses. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance
Agriculture is a Hell of a drug.
I just want to know what vehicle model that center door glass and sill edge is from.
You know what? Good point.
Nah, correctly sloping the roof would require the doors to be different, and a skilled custom car builder could definitely do that. The part that stretches credibility is the notion that some guy who wrecked his two Priuses and welded them back together for the lolz would be that skilled.
Even in winter, it’s terrible compared to a heat pump or (probably) directly burning gas or wood.
Too well done for me to believe it’s real.

I am rapidly transitioning through fear, humber and loric looking at this.

grue@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Florida sues some of the biggest porn platforms( XVideos, XNXX, BangBros, GirlsGoneWild, GTFlix TV and more) accusing them of not complying with the state's age verification lawEnglish81·6 days agoBut the article is about these sites breaking Florida law, and they are.
No, that’s not true. You cannot break a law when the government in question has no jurisdiction over you. The sites are not breaking Florida law because they are not subject to Florida law in the first place.
I’m having a hard time imagining this Goldilocks embedded device that is simultaneously big enough to run Linux (so not an actual microcontroller), yet too small for a few megabytes worth of statically-linked libraries. Got an example?

By this logic, every site should comply with whatever unhinged BS North Korea and Saudi Arabia insist upon, too – is that what you want?
If Florida doesn’t like these websites that are not hosted in Florida, that’s Florida’s problem, not the website operators’, and Florida can do its own damn geofencing itself.
grue@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Epstein Stayed a Member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Long After He Was Indicted7·6 days agoTrump didn’t “turn a blind eye” to the child rape because he was getting money; Trump was trying to cover for his accomplice because he was an active participant in the crime.
I am sick and tired of all these comments inadvertently defending Trump even as they try to condemn him, by failing to comprehend just how fucking depraved he actually is!
Apparently it’s just because it happens to be the same colors as the trans pride flag.
