Makes it’s harder to replace vs stapling it on, but it should also last longer since a little damaged part can be shaved down and it won’t make a section loose.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Blame building codes and politics. Including an AC in every build could inflate the costs making it unaffordable too.

SchmidtGenetics ,

The federal government, some cities, and most electric providers offer incentives to purchase and install modern HVAC units

Which is because there’s a market to sell them, make it mandatory and there is no reason to have sales or grants, it’s a guaranteed sell. Which is also politics….

It’s an extra 3-5k on the sticker price, that’s unaffordable for a large swath of people, especially when the house is only 60k anyways.

SchmidtGenetics ,

If somethings not required by code, and if its not part of the lease why would it need to work?

SchmidtGenetics ,

Because it was represented as a feature when someone decided to rent the place.

Pardon? It wasn’t on the lease, so it wasn’t.

For example, nothing requires an outlet or switch to work, as long as it’s safe, but we expect that to work. I doubt anything requires all burners on a stove to work, but it’s certainly expected. Nothing requires windows to open but it’s expected.

Actually, codes and legislations do! Your entire comment is misguided yeesh. AC IS different since no codes, legislations, or the lease requires it. A stove is require by code, legislations, and lease, so if it doesn’t work, that’s an issue.

So you understand the very important distinction now….? Probably not, but do you?

Why doesn’t Lemmy find something else than copying what Reddit did?

SchmidtGenetics ,

Eh, I know a bunch of people who left Lemmy just because they did this, I’m not gonna do something else, but they should also realize people don’t want a Reddit clone and this stuff will make people leave.

People left Reddit to get away from this stuff, try being unique instead of emulating what you left. Like the tired old trope of your very “unique comment” as well…….

SchmidtGenetics ,

Huh they’ve been in various brands and stores in Canada for atleast a few years. Surprised it didn’t start down there and make its way up here.

SchmidtGenetics ,

The story/lore is from reading all the item descriptions and talking to everyone, gotta find it yourself unlike most games.

SchmidtGenetics ,

I agree, those are those play for the gameplay games, I don’t want to sit in a menu for 20 hours reading lore and still don’t know that I’m missing the necklace that explains why the jesters head was cut off or some stupid shit.

These games are made for some passionate fan to explain the lore in a way for others to grasp and that’s not always a bad thing. Still friggen stupid though.

SchmidtGenetics ,

A waxed car does the same… a window does the same… that’s literally not a reason.

SchmidtGenetics ,

They’ve been here for a long time, the issue is is when someone replaces their old bulbs with those bulbs that require those special housings.

My head bulbs aren’t bright, HID/LED sound awesome

SchmidtGenetics ,

They didn’t remove chrome because it glares.

And is it a problem? How many accidents are caused by glares? And maybe wear sunglasses if it’s sunny out…… take a little personal accountability when driving something dangerous if a fraction of a second glare might affect your ability to control a vehicle. Or move your head? Is it immobile? I usually shift my whole body if I’m parked and it’s consistent for a few seconds.

Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas out of Olympics after losing legal battle (www.theguardian.com)

The US swimmer Lia Thomas, who rose to global prominence after becoming the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA college title in March 2022, has lost a legal case against World Aquatics at the court of arbitration for sport – and with it any hopes of making next month’s Paris Olympics....

SchmidtGenetics ,

Genetics are predominantly on the favor of the male side unfortunately.

SchmidtGenetics ,

No but taking the top 10% from each male and female athletes and putting them against each other, the men would still be on top 80% of the time.

SchmidtGenetics ,

It’s not a claim, it’s genetics, and what’s wrong with accepting that some people are better than others? It just gives her an unfair advantage from genetics(hormones in this case) helping her. It won’t make her a top athlete, who claimed that?

Would be different if the top male athlete did it, like say Phelps, there would not a be a women who could compete with them. That’s just friggen genetics.

SchmidtGenetics ,

There will always be outliers on both sides yes, but take the top 10% of male and female athletes and put them against each other, and the men would win 80% of the time. Because they are genetically predominately better at the stuff required for athletics. Wider hips aren’t really great for running for example…

Reality of often disappointing.

SchmidtGenetics ,

That’s starting to sound a little like an eugenics competition….

SchmidtGenetics ,

Does Crosby win 80% of the time? Mcdavid? Brady…?

Give your head a shake dude.

SchmidtGenetics ,

It’s not a claim… it’s the result of genetic study….

Wide hips aren’t great for running, not every woman has wide hips, but most do. So yeah some are going to be able to do it.

Now, almost every man doesn’t have wide hips, so they have inherent advantage right there.

She wasn’t the TOP male swimmer, I’m sure if we look at her fastest time as a male it would be slower than the top female. Her going over won’t suddenly make her faster, it just means the competition is easier….

SchmidtGenetics ,

Pardon my ignorance, what would you call someone preop and refering to them in the past tense? Especially when competing?

If someone was married, it wouldn’t be wrong to refer to them at that time as straight or call it during their “straight phase” and we are simplifying it. Especially if you don’t know their full story.

Sounds like you’re just looking for a fight in the comments, imma bounce.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Back to the discussion. It would basically be this if we took the 10% of each and put it into 4 categories.

Group A 85%men 15% women

Group B 70%men 30% women

Group C 55%men 45%women

Group D 5%men 95%women

It just doesn’t work. You would be hand picking less qualified men to compete with the women just to fill it up.

SchmidtGenetics ,

There is a thousand, but I find this Pretty interesting myself

SchmidtGenetics ,

In only one group would the women win a significant portion of the events? You basically created an Olympics with a bottom 25% female category, and 3 male categories. The women can already compete with the men if they want to, but they want medals too, not just to be there…. The best women would be overshadowed by the best men, you would only be showing off the worst of the top female athletes.

Expanding? When you need a d list male to compete with a b list female? Come on.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Did you read it all? Or just skip to the conclusion?

The introduction had great links with their why they are doing this study.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Please read the entire thing. You would see how it was on topic if you did, that’s how I know you haven’t.

Sometime in the early 2000’s Uri Gneezy and Aldo Rustichini conducted a very intriguing field study in an elementary school in Israel [1]. The participants were prepuberty140 children, 75 boys and 65 girls, all in the fourth grade between 9–10 years of age. The researchers studied the performance of the children in a race alone over a short distance of 40 meters (~131 feet) with the teacher measuring their speed. Girls and boys ran on average at the same speed. Then the majority of the children ran a second time with the teacher matching the children in pairs, starting with the two fastest children in the race going down the list independent of gender. Each pair ran on the same track, with the two children running alongside this time. Now, the boys improved while the girls ran slower. In eight mixed-pair races of 11 observations (73%) in which boys were slower than the girls initially, they beat the competition in the head-on second stage. In the remaining 18 mixed-pair races, where the girls had a worse time in the first round, only three girls won the competition (17%). To combat experimental threats, the researchers wisely kept a separate group of children as controls who ran alone in round two as well. This group, yet again showed no gender differences in speed and thus dispelled alternative explanations such as girls getting tired faster than boys. Based on the results, Gneezy and Rustichini concluded “Overall, we find support for the claim that competition increases the performance of males relative to females…This indicates that some strong, robust, and general factors are involved.” They then raised further: “The puzzle that remains concerns the more subtle effects of competition in homogeneous and heterogeneous groups.” (p. 380).

SchmidtGenetics ,

Coincides with the release of Broke Back Mountain pretty well actually….

SchmidtGenetics ,

A battery that lasts 8 hours and is a little slower, or a battery that lasts an hour… huh that’s a pretty easy choice, but yeah it can always be swung to make someone look bad.

SchmidtGenetics ,

The phone would shutoff because the battery would under volt, it was usually around an hour. So what did you think you were correcting…?

You’re being less specific lmfao.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Because the capacity was diminished…. New batteries didn’t have this issues since they were… well new…and had the capacity.

In a fully charged battery you could run demanding stuff, it’s only when the charge depleted that it became an issue, which is it couldn’t acces the capacity for the extra voltage anymore.

Without capacity, you can’t provide the high current… they’re literally related and go hand in hand………

Again, you’re literally explaining more or less the same thing, in a far less technical way… so sure to a laymen you’re “correct”, but that’s where it ends.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

If you had a new battery that had say 500mAh of charge remaining the issue wouldn’t happen. If you had an old battery with 2000mAh of charge remaining it’s very possible the issue happens.

Yeah… no… that’s not the case at all. A larger battery with more capacity that is aged would do the same thing as a brand new battery with the same capacity.

They’re a function of each other and your description is now contradicting itself. Capacity is the end function, without voltage can’t have capacity… you’re claiming otherwise.

A 500mah battery can’t provide the same over voltage as a 2,000, you’re claiming it can, come on dude lmfao. Without capacity, it can’t tap the over voltage needed, so the phone crashes and reboots, until you try the same thing. The phone effectively becomes useless after an hour since it can’t do anything demanding anymore, I never said it was dead….

Current is a part of the calculation to get capacity…. You can’t have capacity without current (A)…… you can have current (A), but it’s useless without voltage, and voltage and current gives us… capacity!!

Anyone else have this happen after grabbing a coffee?

I grab a cup coffee from a shop and it’s ruined because the barista is wearing cologne or perfume that inevitably has gotten on the cup and it’s all I can smell when I take a sip. I guess 2 things, this means 1 they haven’t thoroughly washed their hands, and 2 I can’t drink the coffee because it smells so bad and I have...

SchmidtGenetics ,

Do you keep hand cream or lotion in the vehicle?

SchmidtGenetics ,

Can’t they recuse or abstain from voting though?

SchmidtGenetics ,

How does that work when a standard door is 2.1m tall?

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

There is absolutely a minimum size that doors need to be for almost any house. Yes you can incorrectly install other doors, but codes provide a minimum size for professionals to follow when installing. Which is 2.1m in most of the world. Other places will have their own standard size door, but yes every country absolutely has standard door sizes.

Why do you claim otherwise…? Just go look up any big box store door catalog lmfao, plenty of standard door options for even home owners. If you’re cutting a door to size, you’ve done fucked up in almost every case.

And it’s funny you say something like this while being completely off base about story heights… fucking lmfao. Sure we should listen to your “expertise” hahahah, you don’t even know how tall a room is, yet we should trust you know anything about doors? Really? Seriously… dude?

SchmidtGenetics ,

That’s usually from the previous home owner who thought they could install the previous door themselves and not knowing the difference between a rough opening and finished opening.

SchmidtGenetics ,

But it does matter… someone with vaulted ceilings at 12’ instead of 8’ would have this be 50% as efficient, which is huge.

The fact that you blundered the only important piece of information is ironic as shit,

SchmidtGenetics ,

Post driver! They have hand held gas powered ones now BRrRrRrRrRrRrPppPPpp

SchmidtGenetics ,

For what it’s worth, it’s perfect planting time where I am, still another week of potential frost in southern Alberta, Canada.

SchmidtGenetics ,

More not worth the cost to fight, so embrace it. Our city stoped spraying for broadleaf maybe 5 years back.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

The voice… Prana-bindu, there’s others, but spoilers ahoy.

SchmidtGenetics ,

The majority of force abilities is basically that. Voice control isn’t mastery of muscle or nerve, it isn’t magic in a sense, but controlling someone’s mind to do what you want for all intents and purposes is.

Also, where do you think Star Wars got inspiration for most of their force abilities at the start?

SchmidtGenetics ,

The sci-fi artists were really all copying each other and building off of one another anyways.

It’s the same with almost all art anyways, it’s “inspiration” by another word.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Well even paintings and music is usually inspired by something as well, it’s not just limited to the medium of story telling.

SchmidtGenetics ,

So they can talk about the relevant commercialization technical bits (the db) and they can’t talk about the part that’s not…? Uhh… what…?

Is that your argument? Does that make any sense to you…? The part that should be restricted is being talked about freely… and the part that shouldn’t be restricted is…? You’re defending the system that’s backwards. And you want to call me naive and obtuse… okay, defend marketing fluff that you ate up like they were expecting….
