These electric motors, you are winding the coils yourself from a FOSS design? And the batteries to drive them, we going with voltaic piles, or a lithium refinery?
Yep. Have to travel a bit for the lithium, but it’s worth it to be free from the enshittification of daily life. Mining and smelting the copper myself too.
“I was in Vienna, where I met an American whom I had known in the States,” Maxim told the Times of London. “He said: ‘Hang your chemistry and electricity! If you want to make a pile of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each other’s throats with greater facility.’ ”
I also learned C on the Amiga. I loved SAS C. I also came across C++ first on the Amiga when it was just a pre processor for C. I really loved that machine but it was the community that was special
Which is fairly common in the animal kingdom. The reproductive organs of many animals are designed around this, with the females having vaginas mean to prevent it, and the males having penises meant to specifically copulate with those unique vaginas, often times having spines to give their specific offspring better odds or trigger ovulation despite the pain it causes.
The reason human penises have a head on them is to rake out rival sperm. It’s the same reason why a man’s libido crashes hard after he orgasms, so he doesn’t rake out his own sperm.
I mean, selective pressure doesn’t have to be perfect to influence evolution, and factors that directly influence reproductive success have a high potency. You don’t have to know you’re getting sloppy seconds to gain an advantage from having a shovel-dick. If there’s little-to-no disadvantage, dudes with dicks that clean out vaginas will do better than those that don’t.
A close-relative example: gorillas have tiny dicks and relatively weak sperm because there’s very little competition for mating. The silverback gets all the chicks and that’s that. There’s no competition inside the vagina, so they don’t have any tools that would help. Humans don’t have the same kind of iron trap on sexual pairing, so we have some amount of sexual warfare, so to speak.
Somewhat related, but female chimps make sure to hook up with multiple males, so that none of them can be totally sure if the kid is theirs or not. A male looking to mate with a mother who knew the kid wasn’t his is liable to try and kill it, so promiscuity saves lives. When the ladies are looking to hook up with lower-ranking guys, they’re a bit sneaky about it too. Presumably the higher ranking guys wouldn’t be too happy about that.
From what I understand AdNauseum is built on top of uBlockOrigin so you supposed use it instead. The thing is that it isn’t as frequently updated and due to recent YouTube wars this is currently required.
Huh, I guess I was wrong. Lithium was one of the first elements created in the universe, and it turns out it’s lack of abundance in the current universe is a problem.
