I’m not sure it’s possible to bankrupt a city like LA, they can go into massive debt and you and your children will end up paying it. They can also take the money from elsewhere in the budget: a shepherd will stop feeding the sheep but not the dogs.
Do you have a bit of info on these Linux mobile OSs? The FP5 didn’t convince me as a main phone when I needed a new one last year, but if it can take a real Linux distro it could be a cool toy.
It doesn’t matter if you only saw the orphans in a spreadsheet, you and the guy in the article kissed the book and have done the same shit to others in the name of the same government that is now doing it to him.
Also in the remarks of his service and also in yours, even if as a pen-pusher 🫡, I get some hints of pride which makes this article a leopards eat face of unrepentant supporter imho.
stupid
dipshit
There’s no need for that mate.
How many brown fathers did you kill or kidnapped acting as a thug of your government? If, after that, other thugs from your government came to kidnap yours, I would say it’s a clear ‘never thought the leopards would eat my face’ situation.
No amount of primaries can solve it either, imo. The problem is parties. One party, two parties, many parties… they all end corrupt. A politician loyalty is not to the voters, or the people, or country. It is first and most to the party, because the party put them in that place, and it can take them away if they don’t stay on their lane. Parties can be, and so most have been, easily infiltrated and corrupted since money is what wins elections.
It is not a matter of more or less aggressive, some materials dissolve more easily in one type of solvent than in others. You can try, dissolving a teaspoon of salt in water is much easier than in oil. Have you ever eaten chocolate or drunk water while chewing bubblegum? Here the opposite happens, the fats in the chocolate dissolve the bubblegum rubber and make it softer while water doesn’t, it just chills it which makes it firmer.
Now plastic, rubber, or paints, finishings… can be many different things. IPA is safe to use on natural rubber while oils will make it swell and degrade, or even melt it. But most rubbers are synthetic, basically rubbery plastic. These plastics and other engineered materials can have all kind of different properties, while looking exactly the same. So the only thing you can do, other than research on that particular material and solvent, is trying it on a safer or hidden part of the thing.
In my experience: oil isn’t good on most rubbers, IPA is ok. For metals (iron, steel, mechanical parts…), contrary to you I usually advise to clean them with oil/grease, alcohol is appropriate if you don’t want it to be oily, only in rust resistant metals. Consumer/industrial products paints and finishings are usually fine with both ipa and oil if applied swiftly and dried quickly– acetone, kerosene, toluene… will strip them away probably. For wood, almost everything will fuck it up.
money, the copyright and the politics
Of course, the things that haven’t affected the internet or haven’t been affected by it at all.
I see people all the time who seem to go overboard
I don’t have an answer to the question, but wanting to point out that ‘overboard’ here is highly subjective. For example, from my (poor person’s) point of view, I would consider five plastic surgeries for a young lad like yourself way overboard.
That’s an excellent question, and like most excellent questions I think the answer is ‘it depends’ but I would bet for ‘yes’.
First, ‘noise’ is a part of the signal we don’t want or we don’t care about. In op’s example they talk about ‘two servers’ one quieter and another louder. The sounds of these sources is the part of the signal we care about so the sound of the louder server isn’t noise in any case. As long as the sound of the quieter server rises above the noise floor and the recording device have the dynamic range to record the sum of the sounds you should be able to ‘measure’ it (as in pointing to differences in the readings when you turn it on and off) and maybe cancel the other server to some extent by processing it.
Now to this point is a yes but ‘it depends’ because while the sound of the louder server isn’t noise it can rise the noise floor depending on the acoustics of the server room. Some server rooms have lots of reverb and echo, specially when they’re not very full, but in my experience most don’t, many put these plastic curtains to contain the AC and they dampen sound reflections pretty effectively. But with bad enough acoustics, a very loud ‘loud server’, and a quite quiet ‘quiet’ one the sound floor could rise over the quieter server sound.
Disclaimer: this is from the top of my head, I’m tired and not a hundred percent sure this is correct. Don’t take any important decisions based in my autistic rambling.
Others have commented on the physical process of interference, waves add up but also cancel out. But the server sound ‘disapeaearing’ is not caused by interference, in fact it doesn’t disappear at all. It’s a phenomenon called ‘masking’ caused by your auditory perception. Louder or lower sounds mask quieter or higher pitched sounds.
Edit: and to add a bit to the answers, natural sound sources add up more than they cancel out on average, so it will get louder the more sources you add. But sound pressure level is also inversely proportional to the squared distance, so there’s a limit to the max db you can get just adding more similar sources, with a higher limit with higher source density, ie the closer to each other you put them. I leave the formula for this as an exercise for the reader.
Yep I know. These are the ones the company buys. I’ve tried others when I had to buy a box while out and about but n a hardware store or even a supermarket. Latex gets destroyed very fast, I didn’t notice much of a difference with vinyl… but you are right I have to try if some other material goes better. The thing is I don’t have a clue what the fuck they put in the inks and nobody seems to be able to tell me.
I sincerely doubt these newcomers can achieve at their first try what well established manufacturers haven’t through revision after revision of their machines. The price is the first clue, flatbed uv printers this size start at about ten thousand. Also, important information like which printhead they mount, printing speed (m2/h), uv lamp wattage… is missing which is suspicious at best.
Not at all like a resin printer. Imagine a hybrid: the top part is an inkjet printer with a printhead that goes side-to-side shooting ink but instead of paper sliding under it there’s a flatbed not unlike the one in a filament 3D printer. The ink is cured by a uv lamp (or more than one, but I suspect this printer has only one and very small and weak since the smaller lamp I work with costs more than this hole printer) usually fixed to the side of the printhead ‘carriage’.
No. Just don’t! You nerds, tinkerers, hackers, makers… listen to me: DO NOT BUY THIS.
I didn’t think I’d have to read the words ‘Consumer UV printer’ ever. It’s just a deranged concept. UV printers are the worst kind of machines there are. Imagine an inkjet printer but a thousand times worse, I’m not joking. I work with these, but professional/industrial ones, in professional printshops, and they are an absolute toothache for my customers (again, professionals that make a living with printers and similar equipment). The customers like me, because I’m the one solving them problems (even if the bill for the solutions is more often than not a few thousands) but I’m sure the salespeople look under their cars every morning.
This will only be a hole in your pocket, a piece of junk taking up space in your home, and even a hazard to your health or your kids’ or pets’–UV ink is some nasty shit before curing, some of them make my hands itch even trough the nitrile gloves, and you have to handle and dispose of the waste ink properly ie hiring some waste management service.
It’s true that you can make beautiful things with them, but for a home it’s just not worth it, just take your designs and your media (the things you want to print on) to a print shop and have them printed there.
I’m not saying I agree with the other commenter, specially in the tone, but… where do you think the copper inside your walls comes from? Is this a NIMBY or are you proposing we abandon electricity altogether?
Mining is super messy, all of it. For the environment, the people living in surrounding areas, the workers… I think it was just yesterday I read an article about copper mining in Chile: polluted waterways, lots of orphans when a mine collapsed, people sick, others displaced from their homes… you know real actual problems, not some superstition.
Couldn’t we get the copper without fucking so many people so bad? Certainly, but that would affect profits so it’s not happening.
You are right, it was an oversimplification, 25% is hardly a ‘rare exception’.
In my defense I have to say that it was late, I was already in bed, and very sleepy. And I knew that, this being lemmy, some other nerd would come with a more thorough explanation.
That’s the one.
Nope, that’s an orange/red tabby while op’s is a calico, which is also present in Minecraft. Fun fact: except in rare exceptions all red tabbies are males and all calicos are female.
Note: these aren’t breeds, but names for the coat coloring.
I’ve been pirating since Napster, never have hidden shit. It’s usually not a crime, except in America it seems, to download content, or even share it freely. What is a crime is to make a business distributing pirated content.
