That would be a great idea. I mean, I am more than twice as fast on a bike than by foot and I can drive more than 10 times as far. Just imagine what Flash could accomplish with a bike

This is the only correct comment.

Memento mori = Remember that you are going to die Carpe diem = Enjoy the day YOLO = enjoy your life, because you only have one and you are going to die

Yeah, the dude is called Max Fosh and does all sort of stupid stuff on his YouTube channel

I didn’t vote for her as I am not American. What is your excuse for supporting the criminal felon Trump?

It’s not about a camera, but I have read something about using a hard drive as a microphone by detecting the vibrations of the head. Here is a short article I found about this: https://hackaday.com/2019/03/13/hackers-turn-hard-drive-into-microphone-that-can-listen-in-on-your-computers-fan-whine/

I totally get it, why buy one expensive thing once, when you can buy cheap stuff that will cost more in the long run? 5 times 30 surely is cheaper than 1 times 150.

From my experience, there is just stuff where you don’t want to cheap out on. Don’t get me wrong, there is no need to buy „premium“ stuff when good stuff is about the same quality but cheaper, but buying cheap stuff, just because it is a little less than the good stuff usually never pays off for me

Well, in the tv series his shoes start burning if he doesn’t use his specific flash shoes. So surely he needs a special bike.

About handling you might be right, but I can’t image running at speeds faster than sound without crashing into everything either

Isn’t that exactly the reason for the second amendment? From what I learned, it is not to go to the gun range because it’s fun, it is to fight the government if it goes rogue

Depends on their wealth. I am not sure if you can sue someone if you’re poor. Attorneys are expensive

Don't worry, eventually your parents will die and you'll be able to live in the whole house not just the basement.

Only if you don’t have to sell the house beforehand in order to be able to afford a nursing home for your parents

Wall Street Journal

That is what I was hoping he is referring to. But if I’m completely honest, the “I will make myself King of Murica” approach sounds more realistic

But never buy the like new condition. Good is better in this case. I once saw a documentary about swappa using third party replacement parts to refurbish those phones which have far worse quality than the original parts

Edit: I confused swappa with swappie and managed to find thedocumentary I was talking about (it is in German though)

Thanks for pointing that out. I confused swappa with swappie

I don’t know what distros are available, but the big project everyone is talking about when talking about Linux on apple silicon is Asahi Linux

I don’t think the campaigns are about converting people, but more about getting people to care about voting for their candidate. At this point there is just no way people still don’t prefer one candidate over the other

Yeah, but it is a cool proof of concept. I’m sure that in the following years the tech will get better and something like this might be a viable spying solution, but hdds are luckily dying out in private PCs

Took me a quick moment to realize that wasn’t a typo. Nice one

Definitely. It is still in alpha, so nowhere near a stable release. I believe that in the next year or so most of the things will get ironed out

Might be. I am actually not quite sure about this

Maybe you need to put your tv in gaming mode so that the refresh rate is adapted to the input. Had the same problem with my AppleTV

whether they will bother to vote for their preferred candidate or just stay home

It’s more like vote or go to work. I really don’t get why this country doesn’t hold elections on a day where most people can participate. Actually I do get it, but I don’t get how people can still think of the USA as a democracy

From what I read is that republican led states usually make it harder to vote than democratic states, but I haven’t looked further into this.

Although maybe you technically actually are only voting for the elector in your state that then casts their vote on your behalf, I even read that there have been rare occasions where the state elector went against what their state voted for!?

This whole process of voting in the US seems very outdated to me (I am from Europe too). I know that it is hard to fundamentally change the system as long as nothing goes completely wrong. Germany had big loopholes in the constitution during the Republic of Weimar too. Changing this was easy after the total defeat during the Second World War. I have no idea how you could get through with updating the complete political system of a more or less „functional“ country. Even less if the country is as divided as the US is at the moment

Are you saying that if I had a kbin account instead of lemmy and mastodon, I could combine them two into the same?

It is because you might create superheated water, which is not boiling while being above the boiling point. Since it can start boiling at any time, it can be a little dangerous to handle superheated water.

I am not sure about coffee, but heating water in a microwave may result in superheated water, which is above the boiling point without boiling. This can be quite dangerous, as it might start boiling at any time. In chemistry you usually put a boiling chip in the water when heating it in a test glass to avoid this.
