If you’re doing it right you’ve got plenty of pods.
There might also be a followup examination with a thermal camera of the property, which with a server farm, would also show significantly elevated temperatures.
This is why most of us in the USA live in constant fear that our hobbies of basement aluminum smelting operations will land us on the wrong side of the law enforcement.
Here’s an example of that history that was worse than today:
This is 11 year old coal miner Otha Porter Martin. This photo was taken in 1908 in Macdonald, West Virginia.
In this case, preserving the progress means continuing the ban on child labor and strong safety regulation for adult workers. Even these two things are under attack today:
“Republican Wants to Loosen Child Labor Laws”
“Johnson’s Teenagers Earning Everyday Necessary Skills (TEENS) Act would change the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to adjust federal requirements for child labor laws. It would allow states to create laws allowing 14- and 15-year-olds to work until 9 p.m. year-round. Currently, federal law prohibits them from working past 7 p.m. during the school year. The bill would also increase the number of hours they can work during the school week from 18 to 24.”
“Anticipated Regulatory Changes with OSHA”
“President Trump’s second term is poised to bring a lighter federal OSHA presence — fewer rules, softer enforcement, and potential reversals of recent policies”

This. Evolutionarily speaking, a pile of cells wanted to live as long as possible. They collectively chose to support the creation and ongoing maintenance of the “brain” organ. They all delegated their survival decisions for the whole collection of cells to just those in the brain. Your consciousness, possible by your brain, is the president. The whole of your body is your constituents. The body is depending on you to make good decisions so the body lives as long and as healthy as possible.

2·2 days agoGreat info on the process of manufacturing. I know that some spirits have to come from some specific carb sources, but it makes sense that if its just goal of mass production of ethanol, then I suppose they weren’t picky about their carb source.
Canals makes a lot of sense for higher volume cargo, thank you.
The gin was not served in bottles. It was served like beer or ale into cups/mugs/communal tankards etc … mostly earthenware, leather or wood.
Would the gin be consumed exclusively in bars/taverns where it could be dispensed into mugs? Even then, the gin had to be in a larger container to be delivered to the tavern, a barrel I presume? Were coopers in crazy high demand always making new barrels or were the empty barrels turned around and refilled?
He hasn’t worn it yet, but its there waiting in the wings just in case.
I am, you’re right. Where did England’s gin come from?
That 14 gallons number raised all kinds of questions for me:
- What potency was this gin that could be consumed in this quantity but without killing so many more of its consumers?
- How can they possibly produce gin this cheap? Slave labor from the Caribbean?
- What would the logistics look like to move this much gin to a population consuming this much? This is the days before motor vehicles so everything would have had to be moved by human or horse/donkey/mule/cow pulled cart. Steam engines wouldn’t arrive for another 100 years. So it was likely animal cart the number of barrels of gin must have been a river of full carts moving into the city and a river of empty ones headed out all the time.
- Public sanitation didn’t really exist. Public sewer systems wouldn’t arrive for another 100 years or so so the entire city must have smelled like urine all the time.
- With the sheer number of gin containers needed for this volume, did they have a “deposit” on bottles like we have sometimes today? Did they have an underground economy of people collecting empties to trade back in?
That was my thought too. Or rather, you sacrifice the outside aesthetics (which you yourself wouldn’t be able to enjoy because you can’t be outside) to gain interior aesthetics which you could.
I’m wondering if this is a result of having to spend most of the time indoors or be in the camera lens of paparazzi. We’re looking at a photo from one right now probably.
This lead me down a rabbit hole an introduced me to “Mother’s Ruin” of the cheap gin sold at the time:
It gets even more wild the more you read of that article. One guy pawning his wife for a quart of gin…then the government crackdown when things started getting even worse!
I’d be very tempted to install Firefox in my local appdata folders (which doesn’t require admin rights to install), then install a theme to make FF look like Edge with something like this..
Still use real Edge browser for work stuff, but FF for less-than-work stuff.
Ireland is missing from this picture. Americans love going to Ireland.
2·8 days agoI hope the discourse climate will move in the right direction soon.
I hope so too, but with the number of bad faith arguments I see on a regular basis, I don’t hold much hope.
My guess is there are only so many conversations you can have over whether a Silvertip Badger is superior to a Boar brush.
What is this obsession with the term “tankies” on Lemmy nowadays? Fled here from Reddit because it had turned into a quagmire of American politics, rage and misery. The others fleeing seem to have brought it with them.
First, welcome to your second month on Lemmy!
Second, a cool part about Lemmy/fediverse isn’t that it is only one place with one core ideology. You and I are both on Lemmy.world which is a mildly left leaning general topics and population instance. However, federation means users from other instances post in lemmy.world communities ( = subreddits) like the one we’re in right now commenting on Bluesky posts. Many of those other lemmy instances were created specifically to cultivate a particular ideology or mindsets. Just because a user is from a different instance with a known ideological slant doesn’t mean that user subscribes to all the ideas, but its usually a good starting indication. When users from some of these more “passionate” instances post to communities outside of their instance, they frequently bring their ideology with them and turn or twist the conversations unrelated to their ideology to their ideology.
So back to your question on “tankies”, there is an instance or two that are highly correlated with socialist ideas and are frequently accused of painting authoritarianism with socialism. This isn’t an American thing either, most are unrelated to any US Politics.
Since many instances were specifcally created around political ideology (again, not American), I don’t think you’ll fully escape political ideas here on Lemmy. However, if that is a concern for you, instances can block posts from instances known to only be focused on those political ideologies. After that you won’t see posts from those communities or users.
Not that I’m going to follow through with this, but this has got me thinking about all the waste streams from food production with excess carbs that could be used to make alcohol.
