500 Alpine installations? Are you trying to turn their computer into a forest?

I bet Luke put in a request for Han to be a general just to mess with him.

There is a star there. It’s just so far away the light hasn’t reached the wallpaper yet.

Cosmonaut_Collin , 10 months ago to showerthoughts in Isn't it weird that we'll never (ever?) talk about lightnings as a potential renewable energy source ?

I think the difficult part with harnessing lighting is the consistency of it. We would need to build in places where thunderstorms are common, which will only be true for particular seasons. The other limitation is the battery technology that we currently have. It could be a better resource if we could find a way to store electricity in a non-degrading system. I think the new solid state batteries are supposed to be that way, but I don’t know enough about them or this topic to really say. Alternatively, we can just pump people full of radiation until one of them becomes a weather controlling mutant so we can have infinite thunder storms.

I just can’t believe how difficult insulin companies make it to have a closed loop system to automatically deliver or stop delivering insulin based on glucose level. I do know that there is open source code on the internet to make that work using a GCM, but it requires an older device, Apple Software, and an understanding of coding that I do not have yet.

Cosmonaut_Collin , 11 months ago to mildlyinfuriating in A new trend in tipping emerges

While I do believe the minimum wage is too low and I am wanting it raised, I don’t think raising it will stop restaurants from keeping tipping culture. Unless they implement laws to dissolve tips, it makes no sense financially for restaurants to end tipping. Even landlords are getting in on tipping.

I know it may not seem like it, but this gorilla is computer generated.

Cosmonaut_Collin , 11 months ago to technology in Firefox outperforms Chrome in speed for the first time according to a Speedometer assessment

On low end PCs, Firefox always outspend chrome, at least for me. I remember trying to play happy wheels on my think pad laptop back in the day and I would get low fps on chrome but never on Firefox. That experience is what made me switch to the superior browser.

I love Kubuntu. Plasma reminds me of windows 10 layout which I prefer over the windows 11/ Mac drawer layout.
