400V is dangerous though. The traditional 12V is not.

dan1101 , 7 months ago to asklemmy in People who can don't get mad and just go with the flow, how do you do it?

Yeah sometimes you just gotta laugh about things and move on. Losing your temper usually doesn’t help.

Also you can often change what happens to you. If someone is treating you badly don’t let them keep doing that, correct or avoid them. If your bed is full of cracker crumbs, change your sheets.

dan1101 , 7 months ago to asklemmy in What are your tips for saving money and reducing waste?

The biggest bills are usually from heating and cooling. In the winter try to set your thermostat a few degrees lower and just use a blanket while you’re sitting watching TV or whatever. Usually if you’re up moving around doing housework or whatever being cold isn’t a problem.

Also if you have a hot water heater you can set it a few degrees lower and it won’t use as much energy.

I have an old Roku Express or something similar and love it. It has an RF remote and a very responsive UI. But it is slowly becoming crappier with the infrequent updates.

I think Grim Dawn. Seems like it would be a nice medium between a spastic first person shooter and the slower pace of Divinity Original Sin.

Same. I realize the politicians voting against gun rights are almost all Democrats, but the NRA needs to quit being political and stick to the topics instead of demonizing half their potential membership.

dan1101 , 7 months ago to news in Scientists successfully replicate historic nuclear fusion breakthrough three times

The energy produced in December 2022 was small — it took around 2 megajoules to power the reaction, which released a total of 3.15 megajoules, enough to boil around 10 kettles of water. But it was sufficient to make it a successful ignition and to prove that laser fusion could create energy.

Since then, the scientists have done it several more times. On July 30, the NIF laser delivered a little over 2 megajoules to the target, which resulted in 3.88 megajoules of energy — their highest yield achieved to date, according to the report. Two subsequent experiments in October also delivered net gains.

Promising results, hopefully it can be made practical at a large scale.

I have become comfortably numb.

I meant better mileage than internal combustion, yeah sometimes as low as zero if the hybrid allows electric-only.

dan1101 , 7 months ago to world in To build a better world, stop chasing economic growth

No, not FL. Judging by driving around the US it’s happening all over. Walmarts and apartments and McDonalds everywhere you go. Many are fairly new and right next to rural land. No sidewalks or public transportation, just sprawl into rural areas.

Exactly, that is a ridiculous, anti-consumer and anti-environment standard.
