If you don't know about Posy, this is a perfect time to make your introduction. He doesn't post all that often, but it's always delightful, usually insightful, and calming in a world of videos where people are mostly shouting.

He calls it the channel about anything, and this video is about housemaid objects (but extremely close).

Google translate says the sign says "Karamay Tower", which places it in far west China. https://maps.app.goo.gl/2XHmdmRK21LY2Krw6

Dixville Notch, NH has returned the first results in the 2024 US election. The town voted at midnight and only six ballots were cast, so tallying the results didn't take long. In the presidential race the results were evenly split, with 3 votes each for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Edit: AP has now removed the blue squares in New Hampshire from their map.

I don't know if it's because I've been watching Factorio on YouTube or not, because I have not been searching for peanut butter. But anyway, so that's how you do it.

Baby kangaroo (lemmy.world)

I have no idea what a kangaroo has to do with my employer, but they brought in a baby kangaroo for an event, so I waited in line to hold it.

It started with Yochanan (Hebrew) -> Ioannis (Greek) -> Johannes (Mediaeval Latin) -> Jon (Middle English), but now every language seems to have a version, e.g.

and those are just the ones I've heard used, there are hundreds more!

For reference, the price for fixed-cost plans is around 10c/kWh.

As someone who’s been constantly running an electric heater in the garage while painting my car, I was quite lucky with the timing.

It’s not literally free, though. Transfer prices are fixed, and there are taxes and some other minor costs associated with it, so where I live, it still adds up to around 6c/kWh even when the price drops to zero. The cheap prices are due to an excess of wind power, but once the wind dies down, prices usually spike hard.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
