I’ve heard somewhere that dog’s genes are more tolerant to mutations than cats, and that’s why there are more diversity of dog breeds. A cat offspring with a mutation would just die in the womb or soon after birth, while dogs with a similar “defect” would live. I don’t have a source, but it seems plausible to me.
Gerd is a female name where I’m from. You should stick with neek.
Because journalists aren’t aeronerds.
Killswitch Engage - My Curse
This is my curse
This is my purse
I bought an Aeropress a few years ago and absolutely love it. Then I realised that my cheap grinder wasn’t all that great, so I bougt a $400 grinder. My quality of life is at its peak right now.
Even if this might sound crazy to some, it doesn’t sure me at all. Industries are not upgrading systems just for fun. It’s only done when it is absolutely necessary.
I’ve worked with systems running in windows 95. On laptops so old they didn’t have USB. The only way to transfer new files to it was to use serial link (we didn’t have floppy drives). What did that ancient computer do? Communicate with subsea control systems for oil wells.
If you use Sync for Lemmy, you can add filters that removes certain topics of your choosing.
You question the distortion, but not the fact that there IS CARPET IN THE BATHROOM?!!!

The problem isn’t the LED itself. The problem is engineers that read the datasheets where it shows which forward current they need. What they forget to think about is that the recommended forward current is for max brightness, so they slap whichever resistor they need, and never give it another thought.
Whenever I design a LED circuit that is only used as an indicator, I always make it 10% or less than recommended, because I do not need to burn away my retina when I test the boards.
Damn, that was far worse than I could imagine. Poor woman
So ping-pong is an euphemism for sex? Or was he literally playing ping-pong?
I’m privileged to have a boss not caring where we work from, but i prefer to come into the office once in a while because of my social needs. It’s depressing to stay home day after day, but it’s more productive.
Christmas is largely a pagan tradition that was turned into a christian tradition to make it easier to convert them to christianity.
The christmas tree is not a christian tradition. Santa is not a christian tradition. Nothing really is, except for Jesus allegedly being born on the exact date when the pagans celebrated “Jolablot” or the midwinter fest.
I got some chineese chocolate from a colleague, and it was a plastic wrapped paper box wih 10 smaller boxes on the inside. These smaller boxes were an orb shaped chocolate wrapped in aluminium foil, wrapped in a small plastic bag.
Ever hear of Daewoo Heavy Industries? They make excavators, railcars and ships
What? Tell me more!
I drove a Y for about 700 km this summer. It was OK.
I enjoyed driving an Audi E-tron much more. And my BMW i3 is a masterpiece as a daily city driver.
