Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How did you feel when you turned 18? Did you do anything special?
1·1 day agoNo, it didn’t feel much different beyond that i could legally get drunk. You’re still the same stupid teenager, with the difference that your actions now have potentially more severe consequences. So sometimes. It’s probably a good idea to pause for 5 seconds and think about what the consequences might be. Easier said than done for sure.
I’m now 32, and the most important thing I can say is take care of your body and your body will take care of you. Work out, eat your vegetables, stretch your limbs, maintain your cardio. And the next 20 years ahead of you will be even better.
I have friends my age that move like seniors. You don’t want to be like that.

Technology@lemmy.world•California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on ThemselvesEnglish
2·2 days agoIt is specifically trying to prevent people from making firearms that is not detectable with a metal detector. You are allowed to create your own firearm. As long as it is detectable with a metal detector.
I’m not here to argue their method of enforcement. I’m just saying what the purpose is.

41·2 days agoWhat the “ban” is trying to achieve. Is prevention of firearms undetectable by metal detectors.
Though I’m not sure why that is important seeing as the bullet (as a whole) consists of lead, copper, and brass. But I suppose it can be argued it’s a lot easier to sneak through a bullet than a firearm.

Technology@lemmy.world•In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mudEnglish
1·5 days agoI did use a winding contraption. I don’t hate it because it’s annoying to remove. I hate it because it’s terrible for the animals that get injured by it.

18·6 days agoI know I has nothing to do with your story. But I just spent the weekend removing barbed wire fencing. And I just want to say, fuck barbed wire. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put that shit up should be wrapped in it and pushed down a steep slope.
And by whoever I mean my great grandfather. But also everyone else involved. All the way to the factory making it.

Technology@lemmy.world•BMW’s Newest “Innovation” is a Logo-Shaped Middle Finger to Right to RepairEnglish
611·6 days agoThere is a really, really simple solution to this problem. This might sound crazy, but hear me out. Maybe don’t buy their cars? Not like there’s a lack of competition.

Technology@lemmy.world•BMW’s Newest “Innovation” is a Logo-Shaped Middle Finger to Right to RepairEnglish
151·6 days agoIt’s almost, as if the article answers that question with a resounding “no, that’s not going to help either.”
But the novelty wears off the moment you consider the physics. Because this head prioritizes branding over utility, neither the bit nor the screw head can withstand the torque of a standard Torx or Hex fastener. The result? Broken bits, stripped screws, and more time spent on what would otherwise be a simple task.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Winter Olympics in crisis as athletes deplete entire stock of 10,000 free condomsEnglish
21·7 days agoYou have thousands of athletes, who are in the best shape of their lives. 20-30 years old. It’s hardly surprising they hook up with eachother.
I don’t think they grab them for the logo. I’m pretty sure they are being used, frequently.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free softwareEnglish
1·7 days agoDon’t forget the Europe that told apple to fuck off with their own charger bullshit.
I remember when every single phone had their own charger. It was not fun.
Good thing that those who didn’t want to vote for either party have mentioned their reasons over and over so we don’t have to guess what they might or could potentially say.
We know what they said. And it’s not the latter.
Here’s the thing, when both of your parents beat you within an inch of your life, you COULD be saying that both are bad and you don’t want either of them to have custody.
Or you could be saying both parents are great and you love both of them. That you’re sure either of them will do an equally good job of raising you, so it doesn’t matter who gets custody.
And if you don’t feel that way, you have to pick one!

Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce modelsEnglish
31·14 days agoI think it’ll have the opposite effect. Knowing the hardware won’t change in the next year, they don’t have to worry about making it compatible with the new cards. They can focus on building upon what they already have.
And as someone that helped pick out a fantastic PC for my little cousin in dec last year, she paid ~500$ for pretty decent hardware, and so far, she hasn’t found a game in my library her PC can’t handle. Including “wh40k Space Marine 2”
There’s plenty of hardware for younger people that want to get into the hobby. You don’t always need the absolute latest.

3·16 days agoThey’re also imprisoned. Though to be fair, all languages are silly sometimes.
But a more accurate word to describe them might be captives, rather than prisoners. But both are correct

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that "aspirin" was actually originally a trademarked brand name owned by Bayer.English
15·28 days agoYou are mistaken, but it’s such an easy mistake to make as you’ll see. Adrenaline is the name for the naturally occuring hormone.
A brand name, and trademarked name (in the US) for the drug which consisted of extracted Adrenaline, Was “Adrenalin”.

Technology@lemmy.world•Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the WorldEnglish
2·1 month agoThank you. I didn’t know that.

Technology@lemmy.world•Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the WorldEnglish
1·1 month agoI’m not arguing for oil. Yet the current production costs for lithium batteries, compared to their lifecycle, rivals that of combustion propulsion. That doesn’t mean we should stop researching and finding better methods. But it’s far from as “environmentally” friendly as you think it is.
Oh, and Europe have oil. Plenty of it. Where would you like start? The coast outside Norway? The vast natural gas reserves in western Russia? The ocean outside of Scotland, maybe it just happenes to be a shit ton of oil under Greenland which is 100% unrelated to why Trump wants to own it.
I’m still not arguing for or against oil. I’m saying Europe isn’t following the US, and Europe isn’t interested in following China either. Europe is interested in carving out sustainability for themselves without US or China.

Technology@lemmy.world•Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the WorldEnglish
21·1 month agoYeah, they just found it late last year. And still working out how they should bring it up. They’ve made estimates on the amount, i’m not qualified to verify their estimates.
If they can actually bring it up we have security in the materials required to make the research worth it.
But no, we have not dug up all of the ground to get oil. Oil is a lot more liquid than lithium ore. We can pump up the oil without having to excavate the entire surrounding area.
I’m not saying that to defend oil. But the funny part about it is that if they had dug up all of the ground to get it, they would have found their lithium deposits sooner. Because they found it in an oil-field.
You can research all you want, but the periodic table is not changing, and Chinese R&D is decades ahead of the West.
What does that even mean? Do you have any idea how long ago it was since we found the last naturally occurring element? Should we have just stoped all research I the early 1900’s because “the periodic table is not changing”. Dumbest shit I’ve heard all years. And yes, I did hear about Trumps email to Norway. You still win.
I guarantee that those guns have metal powder in them to make them detectable.
Since all firearms owned by civilians must be detectable by metal detectors.
