They will only come back with vengeance.

I thought they got rid of it because all the tainted lettuce getting people sick?

It’s just taking advantage of the change in matter state. H2O expands ~16,000 times it’s size when it boils from liquid water to gaseous steam. That increase in size means it wants to go somewhere else, we just control where it goes and it’s relief valve happens to be going through a spinning wheel with magnets on it, inducing currents in the coils of wire around the wheel.

Yes it’s way more complicated than that, but it’s the best way we have of turning heat into electricity, so it’s what we use. With the primary exception of solar, nearly every form of power production is using heat energy to indirectly spin a wheel.

I swear Nuclear Reactors were designed by a chemist with a grudge against a physicist and engineer.

Turn water back on suddenly and realize what happens when water touches an object many times warmer than it’s boiling point.

Reason #2193 we should have switched over to universal healthcare decades ago. For profit healthcare and services undermine the very thing they are supposed to provide

Yeah he hated they made him do it. /s

C-3PO was a parts kit. It wasn’t that Anakin designed his own brand new droid, he gathered enough parts from scrap yards to mash together his own based on schematics that would have been available to anyone who regularly works on droids. In our time it was about as impressive of a feat as building a bookshelf out of lumber you salvaged from a local dump pile. Impressive for a boy that age, but anyone with the time and tools could do it.

I feel this is not a fair assessment.

2 people did die, but not because of the balloons.

2 people were out on the lake and their boat sank, the balloons hampered the rescue efforts.

Before anyone gets any ideas that the balloons crushed someone or suffocated them.

While 100% in the don’t fake it camp, please also remember us men are not mind readers and our equipment works different. Much like with cooking and cleaning, if you don’t tell us what we are doing wrong or better yet show us the right way, we are going to assume we did our part cause we got the result we wanted and you didn’t complain or ask for something different.

I just want to see the mods.

Noel sounds like no L. So Emily without an L is Emiy

I went 7900XTX instead of a 40XX Nvidia GPU and couldn’t have been happier. Not the cheapest thing on the market but yet to encounter something it can’t run to my standards.

Oh the disappointment to realize “wait, this is it?”

Don’t trust it, it got Lindsay Lohan on drugs!

Had a boss that refused to give me full time cause that would cost company more money, but would harass me if I ever called out. Would remind him that he refused to make me full time and didn’t give me a raise that year so I sure as hell wasn’t driving through a blizzard to come to work a night when I hadn’t been scheduled until 15 minutes before he called.

I mean… from the cat’s point of view that’s EXACTLY what it is emotionally.

Should have used ALF. He liked cats because they were delicious.

Stop insisting people have the right to torture animals.

Edit: Seems lemmy is worse at context than reddit ever was.

Feeding cats and other obligate carnivores a vegan diet is torture the same way feeding humans a sawdust only diet would be.

The only reason I can think to release it as it was, was for tax write odd purposes with how much money it was going to lose.
