chat•Landlord told the whole building we need to get rid of our ACs in the middle of a heatwave
·18 days agoThe leech says it is too much for the electricial system to handle
You get that in a text or email by chance? If an extra 12 amp draw from each tenant is too much for the electrical system then theres definitely some electrical code violation going on and its a potential fire hazard.
While the AC itself may not be a specifically protected right for tenants, working electrical very much is. Even if its just bullshit, him saying that is potentially enough to warrant an inspection on the electrical, which could lead him down some very costly "bringing up to code" expenses.
I know this might sound like a joke, but try diaper rash cream. I've always gotten bad chafing on my inner thighs/groin in the summer but a bit of some diaper cream down there and it clears up and keeps things from getting irritated.
It does feel kinda awkward, but it beats getting all rashy.

Slop.•Trump serves special edition cookies with him on Mt. Rushmore
·29 days agoIt would be so cool if he actually tried this. There would inevitably be some permanent damage to the existing features during the process. Then a lack of proper planning and engineering analysis would lead to the whole thing collapsing or at the very least shifting and getting huge cracks across the face.
It's like what is "hard work."
I worked harder in my first job as a dishwasher and later line cook than any of my blue collar "real" jobs. People doing shit retail and service work are some of the hardest workers out there, but that's rarely viewed in such a light. Not to say those are the only forms of hard work, but just that any concept of it is surely misguided when viewed thru the lense of our capitalist society.
It's the capitalists (real ones that actually own capital) that are genuinely afraid of hard work.

History•A cat walked across this 15th century manuscript from Dubrovnik
·1 month agoThe cat was clearly helping write the manuscript.
This is the result of a lifetime of never having negative consequences for anything he says.

technology•So the problem with solar is that it bypasses economic rent seeking?
·2 months agoSaying the panels would end up in landfills is absolutely misinformation.
Like 95% of a solar panel is glass, aluminum, or silicon. I terms of recycling, those are some of the most recyclable materials.
If your goal is net zero than solar and batteries is it because its theoretically possible to reach a point where all new panels and batteries are produced from materials recycled out of old panels and batteries.

technology•So the problem with solar is that it bypasses economic rent seeking?
·2 months agoeconomically non-recyclable
Solar panels are almost entirely recyclable. The same is true for batteries used for energy storage. It not being "economical" is a capitalism problem and not a renewable energy problem.

askchapo•Sunglasses for future eye health and vision retention in old age. Yay or nay?
·2 months agoDefinitely wear sunglasses. UV is bad for your eyes. They don't have to be fancy expensive sunglasses or super dark as long as it's a uv blocking tint.
Zenni is nice in the sense that it undercuts the shithole of an industry that glasses exist in. It just shouldn't have to be that way in the first place.
Their consistency is pretty poor though. Like I've ordered the same prescription for several years, and every new pair is slightly different and takes time for my eyes to adjust.
There's a double close-end wrench sized for small round and big round.

Games•The King of Kong, Billy Mitchell is still angry about Karl Jobst's videos exposing him for cheating. He has a Youtube channel, it's gold. He has some gaming streams and he is a legit good player
·3 months agoIn that video he explains basically hes a broke YouTuber and doesn't have $350k so Billy Mitchell just ends up with a lawyer bill and no actual money even though he won the case.

news•US will start revoking passports for thousands of parents who owe child support, AP learns
·3 months agoI'm probably stereotyping, but this seems like it'll predominantly impact chuds. Like the specific group of peope that have large amounts of backed child support and have a passport is mainly chud small business owners.

technology•Solar on canals reduces water evaporation by 70% and algae growth by 85%
·3 months agoIf it doesn't significantly increase maintenance and repair costs of either the panels or the canal it's probably still a good idea.
Bifacial panels, which get energy from both sides, would benefit from light reflecting off of the water surface. At least on the surface it seems like this is a pretty ideal situation for those.
after trump the Dems are most likely to gain so many seats, it'll effectively be a one party government starting 2029.
The absolute dedication to :vote: brain, and also not learning a fucking thing.
It's such liberal brained garbage. The US is the most authoritarian regime, a power granted to it by the divine right of capital.
All this is just bullshit excuses for the west and the US in particular to continue to be diabolically evil.

cars•Idling your engine to warm it up is actually WORSE for engine life (here’s why)
·3 months agoFor mass production engines this is very likely done at the factory during the post assembly process, but afaik must manufacturer still say to do the first oil change much earlier.
The actual break in process for an engine happens within the first few thousand revolutions so it's likely done by the time the first owner rides off the lot.



The price of oil is being manipulated. Eventually the stockpiles will run low and then the price will be forced to rise, but until then it's just insider trading and market manipulation.
