What's the hardest addiction you've tried to break or are trying to break? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] ICastFist@programming.dev 7 points 3 days ago

I don't consider myself a gooner or coomer or whatever, but there are days where I really feel like a fucking waste of a person due to how much I beat it. Sometimes I'm doing something else, but if I'm not focused, sometimes horny will just happen and that gets focus quite easily.

I know the best way for me to get rid of that is to block sites via hosts file, as it's a slight annoyance to edit it in Windows (gotta open notepad as admin, then make it open c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts), which is already enough to make me give up and do something else. I have added a bunch, but there are many that aren't blocked and it's so damn easy to find them...

My silver lining is that I don't use the phone for porn, so I only need to step away from my computer to avoid porn altogether, but the PC is my main addiction that I'm not even trying to break.

I remember Robocop Rogue City launching with a high price (nothing crazy like that) but going on sale like 1 or 2 months later for 90% off

tbf, the PC version of console games of the time ran like utter shit on computers with less than 2GB RAM and graphics cards worse than a Geforce 9800. A lot of people were still on WinXP, which was bloated compared to WinME-2000, but by 2006 it was fine.

I became a lich so I can make unliving friends so we can FINALLY have enough time to ~~play~~ finish setting up Campaign for North Africa

OC donut steel (but repost wherever lol)

Dude says: "I'm not worried about the AI apocalypse, I always say "thank you" to them!"
Robots later catch him and state: "Throw that one in the grinder, his "thank you" used 748kw/h every day"

YSK: You can make supercapacitors out of cement, water and carbon black (news.mit.edu)
 

A 2023 study at MIT made this discovery, which could be a boon for storing electricity.

The team calculated that a block of nanocarbon-black-doped concrete that is 45 cubic meters (or yards) in size โ€” equivalent to a cube about 3.5 meters across โ€” would have enough capacity to store about 10 kilowatt-hours of energy, which is considered the average daily electricity usage for a household.

3.5 cubic meters of material ought to be enough to make quite a comfy house

There is a tradeoff between the storage capacity of the material and its structural strength, they found. By adding more carbon black, the resulting supercapacitor can store more energy, but the concrete is slightly weaker, and this could be useful for applications where the concrete is not playing a structural role or where the full strength-potential of concrete is not required.

They talk about making roads with the material, but I suspect electrical posts (utility poles) could also be made of this, which would certainly last much longer than roads and be cheaper to maintain and fix

The worst part of getting old is that you get less and less "first experiences" and are always comparing current with previous ones (programming.dev)
 

Double edged sword, since it's good that we can actually remember said experiences and maybe pass the wisdom down.

Steam summer sale going on... This is my haul (from GOG) (programming.dev)
 

23 games + 1 DLC^[I nearly bought Blades of Time Limited edition, then I saw that I already had the base game in my library. It's one of the things that pisses me off with GOG, it won't say you own the game if you have the base/deluxe/platinum/definitive/whatever edition but are looking at a different version, and will gladly let you buy it again] for R$180 (~32 USD)

I know some of those aren't exactly bangers, or might just barely be considered good, but I ~~won't even play them all anyway^[I really need to get my shit together and start playing instead of just buying]~~ enjoy looking at subpar games from time to time
