This was also where “yo momma” insults were also invisible to me. Like, “You don’t even know my mother, you’re just saying that and it makes no sense.” It wasn’t a trigger for me like it was other kids. I saw it for what it was. I’d tell my friends, “they just say that to get you mad, don’t listen,” but they’d get mad anyway. It’s like they couldn’t help it. I think dares were in that headspace as well.

I wasn’t popular growing up. I was really awkward and non-athletic, so I didn’t bow to peer pressure as much as the other kids. I was going to be unpopular either way, so…

Kbobabob ,

Didn’t you usually have to grind the source material into dust completely destroying it to remake it into something better?

pingveno ,

Even then it’s a little dicey.

besbin ,

That’s only half the story they told you. After you dice, grind and melt the original material. You have to use some virgin materials as binder to get all that stuff together. The amount of virgin materials can sometimes surpass even the amount of old stuff and render the whole recycling process moot for those nasty material. That’s why you should have better just burn them all in a furnace or just bury them back in the ground where they belong.

franglais , to nostupidquestions in The interior of your house is hot, the exterior cool. What would the most efficient orientation be for a box fan? Pushing hot air out of a window or pulling cool air in through it? (Solved)*

morrowind ,
@morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

This guy seems to have a different goal then OP. He just wants the max airspeed in other parts of the house

bitwaba ,

The goal is the same.

Scenario: cold air outside, hot air inside.

Goal: replace hot air inside with cold air outside.

Method: open one intake window and one exhaust window. Use a fan to blow hot air out the exhaust window while the low pressure vacuumed created inside will cause cold air to be sucked in through the intake window.

Maximize efficiency of method: follow video posted.

Dasnap , to linuxmemes in Btw, I don't use Arch
@Dasnap@lemmy.world avatar

When I first started my job, a coworker set me up with a machine running NixOS. I gave it a year before I binned it for Ubuntu. I just… didn’t see the point? The troubleshooting wasted so much of my time for seemingly no benefit.

jaxiiruff ,

The config file for managing basically the whole OS is amazing to begin with. Also the fact that the system is freshly rebuilt every update is neat too. And there is something where if a certain package requires a certain version of a library it will be installed alongside the current version just incase. Avoiding dependency hell.

About troubleshooting, the official wiki for nixos got made this year so it finally will start to make sense to new users. I used to use arch because of their amazing wiki but now I use nixos since there is an active effort to make it easier.

wiki.nixos.org

msage ,

I use Gentoo btw

refurbishedrefurbisher ,

I’ve been using NixOS for about 3 years. Probably going to switch back to Arch, though.

mrvictory1 ,

I think the point apart from declaring the whole system is that Nix saves changes to config files, this eliminates the concept of .pacnew / .pacsave.

Grangle1 , to linux in People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?

Older packages, but not too old, generally provide better stability. Problems can also come from packages being too new and not having all the standout issues worked out of them.

Magnolia_ OP ,

around 1 year and a half, thats way too long, considering the Pipewire, OBS, Kernel, Gaming and other drivers updates. Not even mentioning all the updates KDE and Gnome just got in the last 3 months.

Ephera , (edited ) to science_memes in Evidence

To my knowledge, we also have zero evidence that they didn’t exist. Nor have we ever observed matter/energy appearing out of thin air vaccuum, so it seems unlikely to me.

Downcount ,

And to my knowledge there can’t be a before time.

BluJay320 ,
@BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Well, yes and no. Time is a concept derived from a change in state. There is no “real” time. If the universe before the Big Bang existed in a static state, then the concept of time itself becomes meaningless. So in that case, it would be “before time” in a sense

bastion ,

The state cannot have been absolutely static - if it was, the big bang would not have occurred, and the same stasis would be existing now, unchanged.

Aurenkin ,

Oh yeah? Then where did they film The Land Before Time? Checkmat

pruwybn ,
@pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I like how there are at least three things that are immediately recognizable as wrong with this question.

Aurenkin ,

Well, everyone has a skill I guess

ColeSloth ,

Can time really exist if there was no frame of reference to measure it? We can only detect it by motion or entropy. It’s the only way of “time”. So if there was some point where there was nothing that moved, then time wouldn’t exist.

For that matter, there’s no way of measuring if time is even consistent. If it were constantly speeding way up, or slowing way down, we’d have no way of knowing.

Time is just a figment of our imagination so we can keep track of movement. Just like magenta isn’t a real color.

bastion ,

Darn. I fold.

BrundleFly2077 ,

Kompromat!

Socsa ,

Duh, spacetime is a casual filter.

x4740N ,

Time is an illusion

It’s just a human made concept to create a reference to measure shit

bastion ,

Time is change, and exists whether or not we measure it.

efstajas ,

Absolutely not, time doesn’t give a shit about humans, and would happily pass without any conscious observer at all anywhere in the universe.

spaceguy5234 ,

Well, we haven’t directly observed matter appearing spontaneously in a vacuum, but we have evidence to support it does happen

mindbleach ,

My layman’s understanding is that virtual particles can and do emerge from vacuum, but in ways that usually cancel out before affecting anything. Occasionally it does affect normal stuff - see the Casimir effect acting on surfaces very close together.

I personally suspect this is an explanation for dark matter and a possible origin of the universe.

If there’s tiny bits of stuff and anti-stuff blinking in and out of existence, anywhere there’s a big fat nothing, both halves should still exhibit gravity before blipping back out. It wouldn’t show up as normal matter because it spends most of its time not existing. The vacuum really is empty… on average. It just hums with enough short-lived quantum shenanigans to have nonzero mass.

And if this follows a steep curve for distribution, then it’s like blackbody radiation. A hot rock will overwhelmingly emit photon wavelengths near the peak, for any given temperature, but in theory any temperature can emit any wavelength. It just happens with vanishing rarity as you get up into the spicy photons. If vacuum will occasionally fart out a particle and antiparticle, then very occasionally it should fart out two particles and antiparticles, together. And with vanishing rarity it can theoretically fart out an arbitrary quantity of mass, alongside a negation that is presumably equal. But if that’s off by a little bit - if it’s allowed to be off by a little bit - then an equally arbitrary quantity of mass will remain. Even if the masses have to match exactly, they could recombine in ways that produce angular momentum and never properly rejoin. And if vacuum produces gravity, well, anything that’s left will accelerate away in all directions.

On cosmic timescales it’s possible that matter just kinda happens. We’d be left with the question of why the fuck that’s how anything works, and where all this quantum vacuum bullshit came from. But creationist cranks would have to retreat back to the first sentence. In the beginning, there was nothing. And it was slightly heavy.

exanime , to asklemmy in How do you stop feeling the desire to be in a relationship?

You need professional therapy, not “advice” from Lemmy

user224 ,

Certainly better than nothing. Going to a therapist can be hard, both mentally and economically.

bionicjoey ,

It’s not better than nothing for OP. He uses Lemmy to get attention instead of accepting the advice people give him. He will never improve as long as he is using this place as an incel stomping ground.

Just look at his responses in this thread from several days ago: lemm.ee/post/34057938

He has no desire to improve. Only to wallow in self pity and get as much attention as possible from well-meaning people on the fediverse.

BCsven ,

While your response is harsh, I think there is merit in it. A professional would work on the undelying issue, rather than daily placating of feelings.

bionicjoey ,

We can see from the past few weeks of activity that OP is not going to improve by continuing this behaviour. Just look at the conversation they had with @hellothere in the thread I linked.

That was somebody who was genuinely trying to help and giving OP as much support and empathy as they could muster. And you can see OP just has no desire to improve his situation. He just wants attention.

hellothere ,

That’s kind of you to say, thanks.

BCsven ,

It seems a common trend on tiktok, etc. people crying on camera about how sad they are for internet points and attenrion, it is bizarre to me

Lemmy advice for someone struggling who really needs therapy for a harsh problem can definitely be worse than nothing
