And this thing will either need extremely heavy batteries, or carefully protected tanks of fuel onboard - or both. So that’s going to massively add to the weight.

This is the sole reason we can’t have mechs until we develop high energy portable nuclear power, or discover something equally as capable.

A rocket launching satellites is like 90% fuel, the structure is remarkably similar to the thickness of a tin can, and it only carriers a few thousand pounds of payload, all while only running for a minute or so before being empty. We simply don’t have the power capability for anything approaching a large mech without it having to be wired to a power grid.

If that part of the 14th doesn’t apply, then logically none of the people in the former Confederate states are US Citizens.

Pretty sure they don’t want that.

It still has to be passed before it can make it’s way through the courts to strike it down. And then it depends on the clearly partisan judges in Texas.

Not sure how this is any different than buying any of the branded fashion bags. Those offer no special or unique functionality, just a name and maybe a specific material design.

Which are not magical, or new. Just an AC running in reverse. Just moving the heat from the outside in rather than inside out. They use the same amount of power as an AC, because they’re the same thing.

most efficient at its task (heating and cooling large volume of air)

Air Conditioning is SIGNIFICANTLY less efficient in all conditions where evaporative cooling is effective at all.

This of course assumes the right conditions for evaporative cooling to be effective in the first place, primarily ambient humidity lower than 50%. It works by adding cool humid air, so it’s only effective as long as it can add that to the existing ambient air. An Air Conditioner on the other hand dehumidifies as a side effect, so ambient humidity is not a factor, but the components are more complicated, more expensive, require more maintenance, and more electricity to operate since it needs to contain and move the pressurized refrigerant around the system loop to transfer the heat energy from one place to another.

An evaporative cooler on the other hand is effectively just an absorbent medium, usually with a basin and water pump to ensure it stays wet, and a fan to move the air. People create these all the time without realizing it. Soaking a towel and putting it in front of a box fan is a makeshift evaporative cooler.

make your own air conditioner out of cheap materials

Such a pet peeve of mine when I see basic evaporative cooling called air conditioning. A/C is pretty specific in how it works using refrigerant, condensers, etc. to move heat from one place to another. They also dehumidify the air in the process. A/C and heat pumps are the same thing, just running in opposite directions. They use a lot of electricity to accomplish this movement and are effective in a wide range of temperatures.

Evaporative cooling simply moves air past/through a colder medium to lower the ambient temperature. Most commonly the only electricity used here is a simple fan, and maybe a water pump. This adds humidity to the air so it’s effectiveness drops off dramatically and the ambient humidity gets higher.

The only thing they have in common is making the air cooler, in completely different ways with dramatically different effectiveness and efficiency.

I see you’ve never heard of any big guys nicknames being Tiny?

For most of those trackers you have to be invited by someone already a member. Sometimes they’ll have an open application or registration timeframe, but generally you have to have an invite.

From the one side used in the past, they usually track only the high quality releases, more complete multi-language options, and will often have new releases quickest through partnerships with the various groups that make the releases.

They usually have minimum seed requirements. Most often 1:1 ratio minimums and/or minimum timeframes like 30 day seeding. And they’ll have some sort of punishment or banning system of you fail to maintain this for an extended period.

To help facilitate those requirements a lot of people use dedicated seedboxes and copy files locally for use. There are a lot of options for that available across a ton of price points, as low as like $5/mo or so for enough space for a single user as long as you clean stuff out after the seeding minimums.

The semi-automated system I had setup at one point used Jackett (tracker index), Jellyseer (media requests), Sonarr/Radarr (release search and download management), ruTorrent (seedbox torrent), SyncThing (seedbox to local NAS file copy), and then Emby/Jellyfin/Plex (local media management).

Imagine what California could accomplish without having to fight the rural Republican anchor dragging shit down constantly due to their propaganda.

It’s not about hurting the case, it’s just irrelevant to the charges in court. How a suspect is stopped while fleeing isn’t usually relevant to the charges against them. Especially since it wasn’t an officer that stopped them, but a civilian. That information will of course be in the report, but it wouldn’t be relevant in the court proceedings, especially not needing them to testify in person.

Bullshit. This is the propaganda employers use so employees don’t have information to make educated decisions. There are already industries that have payroll information available to all employees, or even fully publicly available.

The simple fact is most people don’t resent each other for being paid less, they resent the employer exploiting them, as they should.

Many instances defederate from NSFW communities. Usually not for any kind of censorship, but just so it’s not mixing in with regular discourse as much.

Your lemmy instance, leminal.space has defederated from lemmynsfw.com which is by far the largest NSFW-oriented instance.

Also a reminder that Fifty Shades of Grey started out as a Twilight fanfic titled “Master of the Universe”. Which honestly adds a lot of context to the characters, you can basically just substitute names and it works.

Similarly Scott Cawthon, the creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s, created 79 games before FNAF.

Large population of boomers with a lifetime of lead poisoning, and they vote.

That’s illegal in most places. Votes are anonymous specifically on purpose. Numerous people have been threatened to vote certain ways in the past all over the world. If there is no record of you specifically voting a specific choice, you can’t be forced to vote a specific way. And you can’t be targeted after the fact for that vote.

None of these fucks would dare defy their daddy Trump.
