I figured it was "in a merry-go-round" but hey I guess that fits too

How is 0F 100% cold though, most places will never get that cold, so it surely makes more sense to have 0F at freezing point of water and 100F at 38C?

Storage forensics can look into variations in charge to suggest "this used to be a 1" or "this used to be a 0"

To store more data that way, it'd have to be analog data in reality, as otherwise data loss due to charge decay would be immense so you'd need so much error checking you'd lose most of the storage savings

It's pretty common in Northern English and I think maybe also Australian:

The fact it's not only possible but regularly used when the expectation is that it'd be hard to do without choking is why it's such a weird word

I mean UK & Norway having oil while also both being top 10 in Europe for use of renewables 👀

For places like Europe which are politically stable within themselves, places that can provide way more than they need renewably (uk with wind, norway with hydro, spain with solar) should just pretty much provide for the whole continent and maybe make some nice profit in the process (as they are right now, UK is producing 70% from renewables and exporting 14% of their generation to other countries right now - https://grid.iamkate.com)

If you put the pumped storage in other countries it even balances out the nimbyism and control of the whole system

My gas meter thinks it's on prepayment mode and won't go off... The previous owners got it replaced, and it still didn't work so they sent a technician out and made it so it won't disable itself as it won't stay in credit mode

How hard is it to make something that works?

This, among many other reasons, is why you have switches per-plug rather than having to either risk electrocution or knock all your sockets offline while you unplug this

It'd be good to add an "official warning" (which potentially expires) to Lemmy so that people know what they did was against the rules, but forgivable, and if they do it again they're banned

Of course some things warrant a ban straight up but equating them with a heated but essentially harmless debate is harsh

Sounds unsuitable then

It's just as a fallback in case a site isn't tested on firefox and uses some obscure & nonstandard API, so customisable doesn't matter.

Society is inherently authoritarian leaning. If you put people in an environment where they aren't on first name terms with everyone they interact with you're going to end up with an authority not caring about people they don't know personally. If you wanna go back to living in a single village with minimal outside contact except with traders you are familiar with anyway then go for it, but I can't see many people actually wanting that. To find the minimal levels of authoritarianism that work with a society where there is a centralised power you'd probably have to look at the centre-left, with it getting more authoritarian the more right or left you go from there

The issue is you'd still need humans to verify its correctness... It could come up with all sorts of new discoveries, some of which would be hugely groundbreaking, but a lot of which would be correct-sounding nonsense, just like AI at the present does with normal sentence... The issue with ML is that it doesn't really doubt itself, and anything that could would be a whole new technology, not just a hugely improved version of gpt4

Except they usually won't answer your question, they'll just call you dumb and move on
