I feel this applies to more than just adhd, for example things like burn-out and depression.

You are totally correct. This is one of the first mainstream publications I’ve seen really explain to people what “AI” is and what it isn’t. Good to see this kind of content.

Please note that every day thousands of people try to start with streaming/YouTube/TikTok etc. and almost all of them fail. It’s not impossible to make money, but it super hard and most people never make anything. I would never recommend anybody do it with the intent or expectation to make any money. Just do it for the fun of it and if you happen to make some money, great!

I remember them from the 90s in Europe, they just weren’t called heat domes back then. It was just a “blocking area of high pressure” or some metrologic words. These days the media want to hype everything up, so it needs a catchy name.

Now I don’t mean global warming isn’t real. These things happen regularly now where they were a oddity in the past and things will get very bad in the next 50 years. But it did happen in the past.

It’s more a case of the once in a thousand year storm has become a twice a year kind of thing. But hey, we millennials are used to that right? I’ve personally seen three once in a lifetime economic crashes, with plenty more on the way.

Fun fact: in Dutch the word pagina is pronounced exactly the same as vagina

As someone who has worked on embedded systems for the past 30 years: It used to be a real big deal, but for the past 10-15 years it hasn’t. We now have fully fledged multi core systems running everything. Even small embedded sensors or actuation controllers are 100+ MHz microcontrollers with oodles of flash and ram.

Now there has been an interesting turnaround with the whole chip shortage for the past years. All the young folk are at a loss, being used to just putting powerful chips all around willy-nilly. So they turn to the old folk like me to figure out designs with less chips, running busses all over and connecting dumb sensors/actuators to a central processing unit.

I love Salt, but man his videos are getting way too long. I put the speed at 1,25x for any of his videos and the pacing is still perfectly fine.

I’ve heard people enjoy his videos with some drugs and I get it, it sounds super chill. But this length is a stretch for me, it could be half the time and lose basically nothing. And this is coming from a guy who enjoys long format videos like hbomberguy.

I’ve found the most important part of finding a mate on Lemmy is to run Arch Linux. If you do not run Arch Linux, are you even trying?

I use Arch BTW

You are not wrong. I am vegetarian for about 15 years and I’ve literally have had a father of a friend yell at me. He was telling vegetarians aren’t real and if anybody would actually not eat meat for a couple of months they would die because they would be missing vital nutrients only found in meat. He was yelling at me to stop telling lies and be truthful.

A longer stick would be preferable

And then they all clapped, the gang, the neighbors and even the banana bread joined in

Why couldn’t the European mind comprehend this? I can easily drive for 13 hours and still be in the EU.

One could also drive for more than 11 hours from one side of Germany to another. European countries aren’t as small as Americans seem to think.

Fun fact: Red Dwarf did this joke in 1988

Cat 2 secs after you’ve retrieved it: You won’t believe it, but somehow the toy was lost under the couch again. I know right, what are the odds. Could you be a dear and fetch it for me? Big Puss in Boots eyes

Only 2 monitors? Them be rookie numbers, need to get them up

And coal plants provide power and heat to millions of people, that doesn’t make it right. The ends do not justify the means.

Last? I want those first, they are usually in very sturdy containers so putting some stuff on top is fine. They are also usually heavy and heavy stuff goes first. Also if they leak, I want them to leak out of the bottom of the bag and not over all the groceries and then out of the bottom of the bag

Well yes and no. The Schwarzwald area is actually not to far from where I live, I’ve been there often. It’s a huge forest, but there are a lot of towns, homes and tourist locations in there. It’s more like an area than exclusively a forest. I doubt there is any place you can walk in a straight line for more than a couple of hours before happening upon a road, home or town.

It’s also a very popular tourist location for people near and far, so it can be quite busy there.

I don’t think Germany has any woods where you can really disappear, most woods have enough hikers to hit almost every spot in a couple of weeks. The woods are too small and the amount of people enjoying them is too high.

You can also insure yourself to cover the funeral costs. I pay something like 50 euro per year and all funeral costs are 100% covered for the people I leave behind.

This has been looked at and methane pockets are burned sometimes. When extracting oil for example there is often a lot of methane, which is burned to turn it into co2. The problem is, we are talking about a huge area with not many people or infrastructure in them. Sometimes the methane builds up in pockets which then can be burned easily, but most of the time it’s out gassing over a big area with very little methane per square meter. Capturing that methane is not practically possible.

Maybe some combination of sheets which are reflective to reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it and at the same time direct the methane to a place where it can be burned off. But doing this across a large area would be hard and would also have an impact on the environment, so it would be a hard calculation to find out if it’s worth it. And getting funding for something like that is pretty hard. Plus a big chance of failure, what if the sheets crack after a couple of years and get fouled up, then the methane isn’t captured, the sunlight isn’t reflected and a lot of time and energy has been lost. Plus you have a big patch of nature filled with plastics to clean up.

Methane does naturally get destroyed due to uv radiation, so it isn’t long term like co2. But it’s way more potent in terms of greenhouse and we’ve been releasing a lot more than gets broken down. Levels of methane are at a all time high and rising. On a human timescale the methane will take a very long time to get broken down, even if we would stop releasing any right now.

There are satellites specifically made to detect large releases of methane, to identify human sources of methane which could be captured and burned instead of being released. Especially in industrial processes this is often an option.

Large scale meat production is also a large source of methane, which is also hard to capture. Especially when we want the cows to have somewhat of a acceptable state of living, so going outside. The only way to fix this one is for people to eat less meat, however the trend has been for more and more meat consumption instead of less.
