bombs civilian targets indiscriminately man look at all these human shields

@Doubledee@hexbear.net avatar

No no you don’t understand! Before they hit them with the missiles they told everyone to evacuate to another area! Now granted that area they were told to go to was then bombed, ensuring civilians who were complying with their directives were killed and making it less likely that anyone would follow later warnings, but still!

The targets are selected by AI dude, they’re just killing whoever the chatbots tell them to kill. 🙄

ugh yeah that’s its name, forgot how fucking awful it was

40k was supposed to be a parody 🤢

KrummsHairyBalls, in I prefer speeds per Swedes

Reminds me of an app I downloaded the other day to help plan routes. They asked for my cars “KPL”.

Like what? Who in the world says KPL? It’s l/100KM.

While I’m aware that some places may use KPL, it just seems very American to go “hey, we use MPG, so they must use KPL”.

Lynxtickler,

They use KPL in Japan at least, but I doubt the app was Japanese lol

ursakhiin,

I’d imagine they were giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming everybody uses a metric that allows for 1 conversion to tell how far a tank of fuel will take you.

bstix,

I grew up with km/L.

I don’t mind using whatever scale, but it’s somewhat better for comparing the numbers that cars actually use, because with l/100km every car is five something or six something.

Also the higher numbers are better like everything else on the car comparison cards.

KrummsHairyBalls,

I’d love to know which cars you drive with 5-6 l/100km lol

My best vehicle is 10. My worst is 28. Unless you’re a hybrid, I don’t know of a single vehicle doing 5-6l/100km

BCsven,

Our Honda Fit does about 5.5L/100km if I drive and about 7.5L/100km if my wife drives. I have had it as low as 3.9 But that was purposely watching acceleration and avoiding hills

bstix, (edited )

I’ve had Opel, Renault, Peugeot, VW, Skoda, Mazda, Suzuki.

None of them were worse than 7 L/100km. Pretty much all modern cars go at 5 L/100km unless you get something with a larger engine.

Never had a hybrid.

KrummsHairyBalls,

Pretty much none of those brands exist in Canada, or are extremely uncommon. Not to mention the cold weather makes our fuel economy even worse.

dunz, (edited )
@dunz@feddit.nu avatar

All these brands exist in northern Europe, they work fine here. My 2007 VW Golf does about 6-7l per 100km. They aren’t unusual numbers really

Knuschberkeks,
@Knuschberkeks@feddit.de avatar

what? Even my parents 6 Seater family car drank only 8l back in the day, I drive my Opel Astra with about 7 and my brothers little fiat drinks 4,5 if he drives efficiently. You gotts have either s pickup truck or something really old.

KrummsHairyBalls, (edited )

What? A pickup uses 15-28 l/100km.

A Silverado uses 15MPG, according to GM themselves. That’s like 16l/100km

onion,

A Polo 3-cylinder runs at around 5.5l/100km mixed city/interstate. 16l is atrocius

KrummsHairyBalls,

I’ve never seen a 3 cylinder vehicle in my life lol.

onion, (edited )

You propably did but never noticed.

It’s a 1l 75hp engine, topping out at 175km/h or 108mph. Perfect for a commuter car

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-three_engine

BCsven,

Remember The Ford Fiesta, or was it the Firefly?? Iforget the name but that was a 3 cylinder.

onion,

Still is. Focus, C-Max, B-Max, Fiesta, EcoSport, Mondeo, Transit and Puma are the models listed on Wikipedia available with a three cylinder

BCsven,

Yeah pickups and SUVs are gas guzzlers. i get about 5.5L/100km with my Honda Fit

neonred,
captainlezbian,

Yeah maybe it’s just being an American but mpg makes sense in an intuitive way, so kpl sounds like it would be rightish. I’d never guess that people would use l/100km, and I use metric somewhat regularly in my personal life

Oszilloraptor,

Guess the difference is what you grew up with and therefore intuitively prefer:

  • allegedly american thinking: This baby sucks X gallons. Let’s see how far I can get with it
  • allegedly non-american thanking: I need to drive roughly X 1/2 hundred kilometers, and that will burn that much fuel.
captainlezbian,

I’d change the American thinking from that to bigger number goes further for same fuel/how many miles til I refuel.

onion,

And the non american to bigger number=bigger fuel consumption

captainlezbian,

That’s fair, though there was a non American agreeing that every other number is bigger is better so it’s nice when all numbers are that way.

That said all this is soon to be irrelevant. We’ll all be using wh/m soon enough

sukhmel,

whoops per minute?

onion,

Why not mpwh?

captainlezbian,

Because I’m a bad engineer who forgot that watts are power and not energy

BCsven, (edited )

Fuel consumption makes more math sense, especially when doing mental math comoarisons. Litres per 100km or the newer Gallons per 100miles for USA makes it easier for linear fuel consumption calculations. This quote explains: "The advantage of measuring fuel consumption this way is that it makes comparisons easier as fuel efficiency improves for a specific vehicle. That’s because the differences are linear. With miles per gallon, efficiency is graded on a curve. For example, for a 15-mpg car, a 5-mpg improvement is a 33-percent gain. But that same 5-mpg upgrade for a 30-mpg car is only a 17.5-percent improvement to a vehicle that is already using half as much gas. " With litres per 100km a 5 litre increase is 5 litres regardless of starting fuel consumption.

emeralddawn45,

I’m not even American but this is way less intuitive for everyday use. I don’t need some abstract measure of how efficient my car is being. My fuel tank is measured in liters, when I fill up i pay by the liter, I want to know how far I can go on x liters. Not have to do a bunch of mental math to reverse the equation for my gas tank with 40 liters in it. I have 40l, I can go x*40 km. Mental multiplication is way easier than mental division.

BCsven,

Well the car does the math for you, but it is meant for comparison when purchasing because range relies on fuel tank capacities. where as L per 100 k is a fuel efficiency rating regardless of tank size. But it it makes more sense when you have a fleet of vehicles and are doing logistics and need improvements. if you have X dollars to spend on economy it is a linear equation compared to convoluted deminishing returns on low mpg vehicle. Like the quote mentioned 5mpg improvement on one vehicle is not the same efficiency as mpg on another vehicle.

we have a lot of temporarily inconvenienced billionaires here after the reddit migration

jdeath, in Which pill do you choose?

I’m not sure if people here realize this, but the interest from $10m is approximately four to eight hundred thousand dollars per year.

So, with ten million, one could instantly retire and never ever have to work again.

That’s priceless freedom to me, and it wouldn’t require deleting almost all of my friends, relationships, experiences, and who I am.

Uiop,

well, clearly you have a good investment plan…

jdeath,

just an index fund is all you need.

NakariLexfortaine,

But other people need that liver!

withnail, in Good one Nana.

One time a phone demon called my mom and tried to convince her that her grandson was in jail and she needed to send the police dozens of phone cards right away or he was in big trouble. And that’s not even the worst one. I wish she just got calls trying to get her to buy bug spray.

BonesOfTheMoon,

My aunt got one of those calls too asking for bail money, and so did her cousin who almost fell for it.

Hello fellow Jerboa user!

Open source Lemmy clients ftw!

velox_vulnus,

OP is the dev for both Jerboa and Lemmy, btw.

AVincentInSpace,

oh wow did not know that!

ExLisper,

You commenting here proves you’re not using Jerboa. Or was the keyboard bug finally fixed?

AVincentInSpace,

Considering I have no idea what you’re talking about I’ll say it was.

There is a bug with the GrapheneOS keyboard being strangely buggy when backspacing (it gets confused about where the word starts so if you delete the last letter of a word it will instead delete the space just before the word which is annoying as hell) however that bug is definitely not exclusive to Jerboa and only happens with that keyboard so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ExLisper,

Yep, that’s the bug I’m talking about. I had it and I’m not using GrapheneOS so for me the app was ‘read only’ and I stopped using it. And it was exclusive to Jerboa for me, all the other apps work fine.

can bidet fanatics just leave people alone? im sure they are better, not everyone has the money or time to install one. also, i have a feeling they just dont know how to wipe properly.

MostlyGibberish,

I mean, that goes both ways. As an American, and especially as a guy, I often get sideways looks when I mention I have a bidet. If you can’t or won’t try it out, fine, but people are really acting like it’s strange to clean yourself off using water.

ExLisper,

Move to Spain. Every apartment has a bidet here. It’s as normalized as a jam stand in your kitchen.

They don’t have to be actual installations. You can mount one on to you toilet for less than $30 although I’d suggest spending a bit more
