This is unfortunately the way of the world, the only difference between you and the others, is, that many people do not feel like charlatans, and believe their own bullshit.

Me too.

It’s only fools and the rich who pedal the narrative that a whole section of society would turn into lazy slobs, do nothing except watch TV.

I always wanted a similar system to what you see in racing video games, when they display input controls. A red and green bar on the rear of the vehicle which shows accelerator pedal position, and a red bar which, in real life would have to show deceleration, as a percentage of theoretical maximum, rather than pedal position, as in the games.

This is the wrong application, noctua are looking for static pressure, what OP wants is to maximise airflow. Mathias wandel has some pertinent videos on the subject, the ideal is a large fan about a metre or two away from the window, depending on the size of the fan, blowing hot air outside.

In this case it’s called the brunelli effect

I love the routing options, and use it in my aftermarket android car radio but it’s not quite as good as gmaps for address search.

franglais ,

I don’t like that it doesn’t give me alternative route options, there are times I want the shortest, not the quickest, or sometimes I want to stick to main roads, and not go through small villages even though I might save 5 minutes. Also, being offline, the routing for a long journey can be cumbersome in my potato phone/aftermarket android car radio.

why do pharmacies have these signs with whacky animations? (protosparky.uk)

I’ve seen these all over Europe. Some have simple images of the cross flashing, some have windows screensaver esque animations, and some have 3d renders of various things rotating in all sorts of ways. Why is that? Wouldn’t a simple green cross be enough to get the point across, or do they need to be overly verbose? Here’s...

There are some that flash super bright, and super fast, in winter, when driving home in the dark, it feels like I’m on the verge of an epileptic fit, must be a nightmare for those who have to live with that shining in through their windows.

What's a good NAS and server system under CAD$900 (USD$658)?

I am currently using an old laptop (circa 2015) with a 250GB SSD in it, and 4GB of RAM. It runs Fedora 39 Server, and only hosts a Jellyfin instance through Docker right now (though I want to use Nextcloud later too). There is only 15GB of storage left on it, and the CPU is constantly overloaded (due to forced transcoding). I...

I’ve been looking at getting a odroid h4 ultra as my next toy. It would suit you I think.

Nextcloud appreciation post

After months of waiting, I finally got myself an instance with Libre Cloud. I was expecting basic file storage with a few goodies but boy, this is soooo much more. I am amaze by how complete this is!!! Apps let me configure my instance to fit everything I need, my workflow is now crazy fast and I can finally say goodbye to...

Take my upvote. I use owncloud, I have no need for apps on my self hosted cloud backup.

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like “no thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...

Nothing like going into a rough pub in Sheffield, and having the landlord ask, “what’ll it be love?”

Rapists deserve nothing less than castration.

franglais ,

No, we should slap them on the wrist, give them early parole and let them loose to do it again.

franglais ,

Living in a civilised society comes with conditions, when you break that contract, you defile another, you lose the right to be part of that society, and do not merit its protections. Chemical castration is an option. All of you downvoters have never had personal experience with rapists, or, simply have zero empathy.

Is that chemotherapy hair, or does hair get curly on its own sometimes?

franglais ,

There are many occasions when speaking another language (yes American English is a different language to British English imo) where you just have to say, “that’s how it is, it doesn’t make sense, but there we go”. The English took the word from the french désorienté, which means to turn away from the orient.

This man clearly works in the field. Torx is the head to rule them all, except below T15 then it’s a pain, and you break more bits than you put in screws.

I made a soup (lemmy.ca)

It’s about to warm up out of soup season so I made a new one for me. It’s butternut squash, cauliflower, lentil soup. It was funny because after I blended it with an immersion blender I tasted it and it tasted like it definitely was missing something, added the coconut milk and some lime juice and WOW that was it....

franglais ,

Damn that’s a great idea for tonight’s meal, I have a squash I need to use, and I wouldn’t have thought about red lentils and chili. Cheers mate.

I use weather&radar by wetter online GmbH on android, it’s free version is good, but worth the upgrade to remove the adverts and increase the zoom on map. Météobleu is very nice, and has beautiful animation, but It’s not all to my tastes.

It’s easy if you travel on busy roads, you follow the flow of traffic, much harder to be the only person on the road, you rely on your habits, and can easily fund yourself looking at a head on collision.

That’s a glol for me.

The album art is better than the music

People who can don't get mad and just go with the flow, how do you do it?

Here recently it seems like everything just gets under my skin so quickly and easily. It’s not that I get mad and take it out on others, it’s just the fact that I’m constantly annoyed and stressed. Something as simple as the dogs tracking some mud through the house will just ruin my mood. I know some people who would just...

You’ll never see above the clouds if you don’t put in the effort to climb the mountain. Be brave and risk getting hurt, it’s normal to be scared, but there’s no way to get the best out of life without making yourself vulnerable.

I only use Reddit for fapping these days

franglais ,

This is quite a list, you have good taste.

franglais ,

What about the forrests?

franglais ,

No-one has mentioned “And so I watch you from afar” or “Redneck manifesto”.

franglais ,

These days, Reddit is for fapping only.

Im sure if you go to Italy it’s not pronounced balloney,and that the evolution of the language has contorted the way it should be said. However, that’s not guaranteed, for example, the French city of Riems, is pronounced “ranse”, nothing like what it should, if the usual rules are followed.

franglais ,

Came here to say this too, too many of these posts will be bots.

franglais ,

Electrocution is fatal, electrified is non fatal.

franglais ,

Correct, some sources do say that, in BrE we say electric shock, perhaps in AmE electrocution is a generic term, but that’s bizzare, the word is a amalgamation of electricity and execution, since when is execution non lethal? In french we use électrisé and electrocutes to make the distinction.

I got my vasectomy yesterday, my relatives might not like it, still my best decision ever

Greetings from Finland! I got my vasectomy yesterday at the age of 30. Starting from that age a Finn can get sterilized with just the approval of the doctor that’s going to perform that surgery. That procedure was a huge relief in my life. It may sound weird to some but I rejected all kinds of intimate interest from women...

When they pull the tubes out from the scrotum, that pulls on the tubes further up and there is a sharp shooting pain that rises up into the abdomen, apart from that, the week after is tender, and to avoid further pain, the area should be disinfected regularly until the scab heals.

I have a 20€ limit on any game I buy, it has to be something I really want at that price too, mostly I won’t pay more than 10€ per game. My one exception will be Baldur’s gate 3, I will wait for the first sale, and get it at however that much that ends up being.
