Rule 5. Locking.

It's a different way of travelling. With an ICE I would pull into an ugly service station, buy fuel and shit food/drink, go to a disgusting toilet and then get straight back on the road. No smelling of flowers.

Now it's the interesting, funky cafe's/restaurants along the route that are adding fast chargers. I pull in there, have a nice coffee or meal, and then continue on my way.

It's a much more pleasant way to do a trip. More chilled. More 'touching the grass'.

Agree. And torque. You want torque? OK. It'll give you torque. It doesn't care what speed it's doing, it's got torque.

That and regen braking, which is the ducks nuts.

Rule 6 states "No US politics", but methinks this is kinda grey on that one.

Upvote this post if you think we should allow posts in AskLemmy.world on the current situation in Iran (provided they don't clearly break the existing rules), and down vote if you think they should be banned.

It's more to do with improved battery technology. New detectors have lithium batteries that last the same ten years as the detector.

This is true, but I like to say

"Things should be a simple as possibe, but no simpler!".

Some people also have a tendency to over simplfy things to the point that they are substandard.

Unfortunately, not YouTube channels.

Might be brand specific. I've been trained to check monthly by turning it on.

It's definitely a thing.

I tested the defibrillator at work the other day, and as part of the script the machine said "remove patients clothing". I overheard a female co-worker say "if I have a heart attack, just let me die".

😳

You could also try increasing your temperature and/or lowering your print speed. I had issues like this when I switched to using Orca Slicer. It's pursuit of speed comes at a cost in terms of adhesion.

Is that separation happening between the first and second layers?

The impact that wiped out the dinosaurs also wiped out all songbirds, except for in (ark) Australia. Australian songbirds then spread out to rest of the planet.

The closest living descendents (aka basal lineages) are the Lyrebird and the Rufus scrub bird. The lyrebird's song is a mixture of its own song and other birds songs. They have been also been known to mimic chainsaws, car alarms, camera shutters, and human speech.

 

For those who aren't familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn't be believed, or being influenced to believe something that's not necessarily in your best interests.

 

Abstract

Many “smart” and “fitness” watch bands are advertised to contain fluoroelastomers, a type of synthetic rubber designed to be resilient against skin oils and sweat. Fluoroelastomers, which are considered a polymeric form of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have historically involved the use of shorter-chain PFAS as surfactants in the polymerization process. In this study, 22 watch bands were analyzed across numerous brands and price points for the presence of PFAS. Products were first screened for total fluorine using particle-induced gamma-ray emission spectroscopy on the surface of these bands, and 15 of the 22 watch bands contained total F concentrations >1% fluorine, suggesting the widespread use of fluoroelastomers in this product category. Watch bands then underwent solvent extraction and targeted LC-MS/MS analysis for 20 PFAS. Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) was the most frequently detected compound with concentrations from <LoD to 16662 ng/g. A subset of six watch bands also underwent direct total oxidative precursor (dTOP) assay to determine the presence of PFAS precursors. The very high concentrations of PFHxA readily extractable from the surfaces of fluoroelastomer watch bands, together with the current limited knowledge on the dermal absorption of PFHxA, demonstrate the need for more comprehensive exposure studies of PFHxA.

 

Hi Everyone,

We are looking for another person to help out moderating AskLemmy. Home instance does not matter, and Accounts will need to have a history of positive contribution to Lemmy.

DM or reach out via Matrix if interested.

 

I'm getting a bit sick of large corporations a) demanding excess data as a condition of doing business with me, b) allowing it to be stolen, and c) giving zero fucks about it.

What are some things that us netizens can do to make our displeasure known.

Extra points for funny ideas.

 

It's been over a month since the temporary ban on US Politics was implemented in AskLemmy. This post is a poll to see if the community wants it made permanent, or removed.

Vote by upvoting the comment below for "Yes", or downvoting for "No".

The poll will close a few hours before midnight Sunday, UTC time.

 

I'm wondering how hard it would be to write a firefox extension that blocked individual Lemmy posts based on the presence of words in a block list.

I'm pretty famiiar with Python, but have only done a little bit of hacking of JS, so was hoping the brains trust could provide some insight.
