someguy3,

How could you say that? I hate you for it. (/s)

someguy3, (edited )

Simple reply is: More emphasis on National[ism]. Hitler didn’t even like the name, the party was formed and named before he joined.

someguy3,

Is there a Salzburg Australia?

someguy3,

I got “upgraded” to a Hummer H2. Fuck the fuel consumption on that thing. It was a work trip so I didn’t pay, but still.

someguy3,

Now that’s a scary photo.

someguy3,

The brass came in loud.

someguy3,

Could be a small island!

someguy3,

Huh?

someguy3,

Standing on the too short box lol.

someguy3,

the design for a new solar desalination system that takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight.

The configuration of the device allows water to circulate in swirling eddies, in a manner similar to the much larger “thermohaline” circulation of the ocean. This circulation, combined with the sun’s heat, drives water to evaporate, leaving salt behind. The resulting water vapor can then be condensed and collected as pure, drinkable water. In the meantime, the leftover salt continues to circulate through and out of the device, rather than accumulating and clogging the system.

Neat.

The team envisions a scaled-up device could passively produce enough drinking water to meet the daily requirements of a small family.

Hmm.

someguy3,

Other stuff should be limited since the water evaporates and is then condensed. Little should be carried with it, but I don’t know for certain.

someguy3,

This is stupid and I love it.

someguy3,

I thought it was virtually all places. I’m surprised the other guy could even let the lawn go native.

someguy3,

Never heard of espresso martinis but lol.

someguy3,

So you’re complaining that the joke didn’t include all the drinks… Geez.

someguy3, (edited )

More like yours is a shitty complaint. It’s a joke, not a phd thesis.

someguy3,

Floating wherever life takes you.

someguy3,

… steam is then collected in a condenser to reclaim the water to continue the cycle.

The researchers on the new study set out to improve the efficiency of the heat transfer of the condenser pipes. They developed a coating made of fluorinated diamond-like carbon (F-DLC), a material that’s hydrophobic, or water-repelling. When the steam condenses on the coated pipes, it no longer forms a thin film but balls up into droplets much more easily. That helps it run off faster, allowing more steam to come into contact with the pipe sooner.

Interesting approach.

someguy3,

Where is lineage OS in that?

someguy3,

Needs more screenshot.

Do you prefer PC or laptop? (freeonlinesurveys.com)

I was having a friendly discussion with someone this morning about PC and Laptops for work/education stuff, he suggested that I could use a chromebook for all this stuff and this would be a good idea and make things easier. I strongly disagreed with this, mainly because I hate laptops, the keyboard and touchpad make me angry and...

someguy3, (edited )

Completely depends if you need to carry it around.

For best of both worlds: Docked laptop with full monitor and maybe keyboard. You can find monitors everywhere for cheap.

someguy3,

My friend let me in on it in university:

Dogs are better pets. Cats are more practical pets.

Can’t help you with the allergy part.

someguy3,

I like jerboa on list view.

snazzy0933, to asklemmy

What are some tips for dealing with solicitors (door-to-door salespeople)? Our neighborhood gets a lot of them.

We have a “No solicitors” sign hanging on the front door. Nevertheless, they knock, ring the doorbell, or worse, yell through the front window when it is open, trying to get our attention.

We have a Ring video doorbell and have enabled the automatic “Sorry, we’re not interested” announcement after 15 seconds. These pushy SOBs ignore the sign and the announcement.

When I ultimately find out they are soliciting and I ask why they ignored both the sign and the doorbell announcement, they usually say something like, “I’m not selling anything. I am just working with some people in the neighborhood…” or some such BS.

My wife and I work from home and have had to explain the window shouting to coworkers in meetings. We also have two small children who could be trying to nap at any given time. We have good reasons to not want to be disturbed at home and these assholes disregard that wish.

I will write a negative review online if I find out their name and company they are representing. Any other ways to get these people to leave us alone?

someguy3,

More elaborate sign saying no this… no that… Or try the affirmative, one that states deliveries only, no others, etc.
