  • ITT: even more division toward any semblance of unity. So instead… let’s just slow-walk ourselves into the same bullshit (that we’ve been doing), because the circus and bread done got us too fucked up; seeing only ‘left’ or ‘right’. Rather than how to help our brethren—we fight how to make our “best opinions” best


  • Lower frequencies (like the HF range) can propagate further due to reflection/refraction with the earth and the ionosphere. Increasing the frequency can lead to e-skip and troposhpeheric ducting. But even the HF range has shorter wavelengths than our brains, which operate in much lower frequencies (Hz vs MHz). So you would think that our brainwaves would pass through tin-foil much more easily

    But it’s the tin-foil’s electro-conduction that “foils” the electromagnetic waves’ (i.e radio waves’) ability to pass through it. But you would have to have no gaps in the tin-foil to completely block all waves from passing through. So like, an entire foil suit or a walking Faraday cage.

    TL;DR - it’s not about the length of the electromagnetic wave, it’s the electro-conduction (insulating) property of the tin-foil that matters


  • No one cares about you 🙄 for the love of life. Get off it already… you even forced an emoji outta me, just to really get my point across /s

    Sorry sorry, trying to be sarcastic-mean, not actually mean. Just wanted to rib poke for a second, but not at the expense of a person I don’t know. I truly like seeing your activity around here; couldn’t help myself though. Ya dick

    I’m not great at sarcasm lol. I only wish the best for you, ya random squid 🐙





  • I just finished doing a fresh install this morning, because my wifi card wasn’t working. It honestly needed to be done anyway because I was out-of date, but the wifi card finally got me to back-up all my data and do it.

    Fresh install, and wifi still won’t even toggle-on. Was about to look for manual install of the driver, and so on and so forth… and then I noticed my folly

    Fucking keyboard has a toggle switch to turn the wifi off. Not the worst and glad I didn’t pull my hair out over it, but damn… felt pretty dumb this morning



  • Thank you! I was reading the wiki about the “landing” and could “understand” how a current phone would be vastly more than sufficient. I got lost trying to find how an “ESP32” was designed… and then how processor’s were (normally) designed nowadays… and how it all worked together. I guess I was asking if a single “chip” could include all of those things (CPU, RAM, ROM), or if it was multiple “chips”. An integrated circuit is what I think I was trying to dissect. I’m still curious about the inter-workings, but you cleared a whole lot up for me.

    I really appreciate the breakdown, because I didn’t have the terminology to properly search. I guess it still kinda blows my mind how far it’s all progressed

    Edit: And now I’m learning the difference between “Integrated circuit” and “circuit board”… seems silly in hindsight, but the terminology had me a bit confused. Super cool, nonetheless.


  • So I’m not an IT professional by any means, it’s a hobby. But I’m curious if an ESP32 could land a man on the moon. I searched around a bit and am under the assumption that an ESP32 has a CPU or microprocessor of some sort.

    What I’m trying to figure out is: Would a processor on an ESP32 have RAM and ROM built into the chip. I hope I’m asking the right questions.

    It seems like a processor should have RAM for a cache. But I gave up trying to figure out if it would also have built-in ROM (specifically, an ESP32’s processor)

    Do all CPU’s/microprocessors now have SRAM for a cache? Do all also contain ROM? Or is it separate? I guess an ESP32 does require ROM for it’s firmware, regardless? And (maybe?) SRAM in it’s processor?

    I’m beinginng to think an ESP32 would have the “specs” to land a man on the moon?

    Idk, “how true is your statement” is what I’m trying to figure out (but I lack a lot of the technical knowledge), and now I’m curious. If someone could ELI9, I’d appreciate it

    Edit: I did flash the eeprom on some XBOX TSOP chips in the past. So maybe ROM isn’t part of the CPU, but very near-and-dear. Annnnd I’m in a rabbit hold about the anatomy of CPU’s because of a one sentence comment. Please help

    I was 33 when I finally asked about a prescription; and I felt kinda dumb that I had been “just dealing with it” my whole life, when suddenly breathing had become much easier with ant-anxiety meds.

    I guess I was worried about becoming addicted or would lose coping skills and become dependent on it in order to function. But nope. I was wasting so much mental energy before, just trying to wake up and feeling like the sun was screaming at me. I can taper down my dose when my anxiety is more controlled, sometimes I forget that I didn’t take it. Sometimes I wake up and pretty much immediately take it.

    It helped me to begin understanding my anxiety on a much different level than simply, “I’m just having a bad day”. It was a game changer



  • I’m 35 and was working with an oven in the “50+ year mark”, just a few years ago.

    I have preheated overnight

    I have baked cookies, cinnamon rolls, frozen pizza etc… overnight

    I’ve had it justa warming my house, cause I didn’t turn it off

    Maybe I’m irresponsible… maybe older ovens are less forgiving. When my stove/oven was finally replaced, I didn’t have that issue. And it also cooked properly/evenly (a bonus).

    What I’m kinda saying is: old stoves/ovens don’t “easily” die, because they’re easily repaired. But ya gotta keep your eye on them when they’re cooking. And they will keep cooking, regardless of timer.

    That “timer” is an analog ‘buzz-noise’, but it don’t do anything to stop the heat. It’s a reminder/warning… for you to come deal with it


  • Who hasn’t preheated their oven for (well over) 4 hours though?..because I was almost done defrosting. Shit, I preheated the oven to cook some chicken we had, and then went shopping cause I forgot I already had a plan of action.

    Then the question is, "Am I still cooking this chicken or these porkchops (that i just went through the trouble of procuring?). I can do both, I guess… fuck it, I’m eating sandwiches and I’ll cook tomorrow

    Update: I ordered food

    I wouldn’t say no

    Ya may have read too quickly and missed the double negative. It seems that they would like relations with that bird… if that bird were were a person, and talking dirty botany to them

    Edit: and all of botany is dirt-y, when you get to the root of it… I’ll see myself out now




  • You’re right, the pressure gauge shouldn’t change without a leak or temperature change (Boyle’s Law and such). But it’s hard to have a 100%, no-leak extinguisher. There’s plenty of points of failure to keep the thing pressurized, and the leak could be imperceptible (over months) or a rapid failure

    And you wanna keep contents from settling as well, so you don’t just spray gas when trying to use it. So you mix it a bit and inspect the gauge every so often, because you don’t want it to fail when you need it most

    Ideally, it shouldn’t lose pressure. But also ideally, you don’t have a fire that requires an extinguisher in the first place

    But yes, you’re right on that one. “Settling” of the fire-retardent wouldn’t cause a pressure change. It’s just part of the safety inspection to check the gauge as well as to “mix” it… keeping it ready to go
