My dog absolutely loves rolling in old putrifying deer carcases so maybe your crotch just smells like that.
This picture was almost certainly taken in a city. The urban population in
Iran at that timewas educated, secular(ish), liberal, and pretty cosmopolitan. The rural population, however, was mostly none of those things. Religious fundamentalism was always a thingand the hijab was common.
Damn, that sounds pretty familiar as a USAian.
I'm a 90s baby but I'm still pretty sure Regan was where things started going downhill.
Does your family use password managers? (And dear god not Lastpass, with their breech a couple years ago).
What is the recomended password manager right now? Currently I still have google storing all my passwords but I'm working on degoogling so that will have to go at some point.
Please tell this to my employer who just "upgraded" the OS on our factory machines to windows 11.
Yeah, it's all fun and games until private Doug plugs his compromised phone into the fire control computer USB port to charge it.
They could always use a USB pinout on a proprietary connector I guess.
Except they were on track to win against Biden. Now trump gets to lose against a black woman.
Biphasic sleep has always worked well for me but any more than that and I start suffering.
Oh yeah, she's an awful fucking person based on her history. But actively supporting and endorsing genocide was my red line issue (a pretty fucking low bar you'd think) so as long as shes clear there then she still has my vote against trump.
By the standard of cops she's not even crooked. Shes just a cop which is just as bad. But if she's at the very least anti-genocide then shes got my vote.
As young people, I can tell you we don't have anywhere near enough time or money to enter politics. Were just trying to afford food.
There are no accidental discharges. Only negligent discharges. If your gun goes off then you are 100% responsible no mater the circumstances that caused it to do so.
The biggest part is just putting yourself in situations where single women are present so you can practice your casual conversation skills with them, so anon is halfway there.
This is my biggest issue. I'm shockingly good at speaking like a human and whenever I've actually managed to get a date it has always turned into multiple dates. But I don't know where to meet single women. I'm not photogenic enough to stand out on dating apps and all of the things I like to do are either sausage fests or something done at home. The only time I really see any women at all is when I'm at work, when they're at work, or literally just walking down the street, and all of those are situations where anything other than maybe small talk would just be rude.
I'd love to put myself out there but the only place I know of to do that is dating apps. But I have a complete inability to look even remotely normal any time I know a picture is being taken so I have very little luck getting matches. After I get a match I'm fine. The issue is just at that first hurdle of finding someone who is even remotely interested.
Taste the meat not the heat.
Except, aparently the shooter was a republican. Probably shot at trump because he wasn't far right enough. It's Shinzo Abe all over again.
Honestly, I don't care about the temperature at all. I spent time in Nevada when it was a balmy 102F and it was actually pleasant. But a Minnesota 85F with 95% humidity fucking kills me. There is no escaping high humidity heat.
Social media is just gossip refined and people have always liked gossip. But social media is to gossip what heroin is to poppy seeds.
It makes sense because fish don't have blood.
(Solved) What is this definitely not capybara?
A friend of mine just sent me this picture and said someone they knew just got a capybara. I informed them that that definitely isn't a capybara. Now neither of us know what it is. It kinda looks like it's in the uncanny valley of the rabbit species. Is it just a fucked up looking rabbit?
Who created MELFs and who hurt them?
Seriously, what sadist saw a flat PCB surface, flat pick and place machine heads, and said "lets create a round component"?
Joking aside I am genuinely curious what advantage the MELF design actually offers. I know they're a pain to get a machine to place properly, they have more solder flow issues than components with flat leads, and they seem like they would be harder to manufacture too. So why a round component? Anyone here have any insight on why they even exist?
How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?
So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can't fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male workforce he does work with several women who have no idea what he is. He literally followed a woman home, broke into her house, and raped her. Him working here puts every female employee at risk. How is that not an unsafe working environment? How is it at even legal to employ him anywhere where he will have contact with women?
Bathroom vent out the side of the house?
So I'm planning out a bathroom remodel and part of that is replacing the vent fan because currently mine is just venting into my attic (no bueno). I know normally bathrooms are vented out through the roof but my bathroom is on an exterior wall so I was wondering if I could just vent it out the side of the house. I'm going to be ripping open that wall anyways and I would much rather cut a hole in the side of the house than run a vent pipe up through the roof.
Also I'm in Minnesota if climate is a concern.
Do both sides of a transformer need to be fused?
I work on equipment that runs off 3 phase 208V but it uses uses a transformer to drop it down to 120V for most of the controls. On this equipment I noticed that there are two fuses on the lines exclusively feeding the 208V side of the transformer and a fuse directly off of the hot side on the 120V side of the transformer.
Isn't the fuse on the 120V side of the transformer redundant? From my understanding, if there is a current spike on the 120V side of the transformer then that will cause a current spike on the 208V side of the transformer and immediately blow those fuses anyways. Is this just a certification thing where that redundancy is required? I'm in the US but this equipment does also get shipped to various overseas locations. Also, while it isn't standard, this equipment is capable of passing a TUV inspection if a customer requests it so I'm not sure if the potentially redundant fuse is just a TUV requirement.
What is alien.top and why do all the users from there show up as bots and have no history?
I've been seeing a lot of users from alien.top commenting in various threads (mainly sports) lately. They only caught my attention because they are all flagged as bots and I typically manually block most bots (not all because there are some I like). For every one of them their entire post history consists of 1-2 comments or posts. When I took a look at that instance there is nothing there at all and it also shows no users. The comments look human enough but I guess I wouldn't be surprised to learn that all the comments are LLM generated. Is alien.top just someones LLM experiment or is something else going on here?
Electrolytic Caps and Vacuum/Pressure
So I'm a refrigeration tech with some electronics manufacturing experience. But I've never combined the 2 skillsets so I've been toying with the idea of building a large vapor chamber to cool a computer via direct immersion in a refrigerant. I know its about as far from practical as you can get but it sounds like fun.
Ignoring all of the many many other problems with doing this for now the one thing I'm not sure about is how well the electrolytic caps on the various components would survive. I would need to pull a fairly hard (500 micron) vacuum on everything before I charge it with refrigerant. I know most electolytic caps aren't vacuum rated but I'm not sure if that just means you can't have them operating in a vacuum or if they will immediately pop if you just subject them to hard vaccum period. Additionally while I am planning on using a low pressure refrigerant (probably some R-123 substitute but I'm definitely still working on that part) the components would all still be subject to pressures of up to about 20 PSIG at the high end. Beyond that point I would probably have an active cooling system kick in just for safety sake. I'm not sure how well the caps in particular would survive being immersed in a liquid under 20 PSIG pressure.
Does anyone here have any experience subjecting electrolytic capacitors to hard vacuum or elevated pressure? At what point do they just pop?
How many calories does a standard whole blood donation burn?
So I just went and donated blood again and durring the recovery period it occured to me that it takes quite a bit of work for your body to regenerate that lost blood volume and the actual blood cells. Regrowing that many cells seems like it would be fairly energetically intensive. So how many calories does producing all those new blood cells actually consume? Is there even a way to know that?
TIL: There are Capital Sized Scanning Rigs
While doing some exploration earlier I got a BPC for a Capital Gravity Capacitor Upgrade II.
The weirdest thing is that the BPC isn't completely worthless. Contracts for that BPC still go for a couple million isk which means someone must be buying them and producing capital sized scanning rigs. So now the real question is, who the hell is fitting their capital ship for scanning?
