I literally said no my wife the other day “You know, I think ‘Don’t negotiate with terrorists’ applies here”

My kid is getting close to 2y and he’s getting into limit testing now. Wish me luck
100 is body temp so you can use that one to convert the highs. No idea what freezing would be in F

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something that 15 years ago looked like it would be a problem in the future, but didn't turn out to be?
2·3 days agoDown votes probably because they’re less of a problem than expected they would be 15 years ago but still problematic. Very large regions in Africa/Asia still deal with overpopulation and poverty although India and China have made some massive progress in the last 15 years. For semaglutide it’s still early days, nobody expected there to be an actual general drug against obesity but more long term studies are still needed.

Coffee@lemmy.world•are we doing anti-elitism? instant coffee gang rise up!!
2·5 days agoYeah, I have an ikea metal one that works pretty well which I haven’t used in a while. My kettle broke a week ago so now I have one with temperature setting so things are becoming interesting.
If things go well I might upgrade to a funnel, hand grinder, pour-over setup which in theory should be a complete coffee setup.
As a programmer I must upvote

Coffee@lemmy.world•are we doing anti-elitism? instant coffee gang rise up!!
3·6 days agoI don’t have a coffee machine so I’m a connoisseur of instant coffees available in my region. I’ve tried a bunch of brands but still get a coffee at a cafe sometimes. There are definitely good ones out there so don’t be put off if you come across one that’s absolute shit.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•An engineer created this traffic light-free intersection monstrosity. Because, you know, cars and car infrastructure don't already take up massive amounts of space as is.English

4·7 days agoThroughput would be ass. Clover is good because you keep all lane changes on the rightmost lane while keep the two straight-on at full speed, diagram only has one direction full speed.
A turbo roundabout is what a sane person would use in this situation. Does the same thing with a lot less space.

I really don’t understand why people don’t go for prefab walls instead. Am I missing something? It sounds to me that creating a house out of composable units that contain insulation, wiring and plumbing makes more sense.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Just a little bit of attempted homicide as a "teaching exercise"English
1·9 days agoYeah, no explain this to carbrained people an example of a tank driving through an intersection at full speed sounds nuts but in reality it’s not that different from cars vs bikes/peds.

Programming@programming.dev•Recommendations for opensource Jetbrains equivalents?
1·10 days agoIn my experience the alternatives are usually worse. I would use Neovim but the debugging experience with hot reload in C# is pretty good. When I find a shortcut out of place I just add my own and git is better in the terminal anyway when you setup good aliases like “pullr” for “git pull origin main --rebase”.
I know, not helping, but the best open source alternative to Jetbrains is Neovim in my experience but it really depends on the language and stack you’re on.

1·10 days agoAbsolutely nuts that you can update the firmware without being paired to the speaker and turn it into a rubber ducky. Also, why do speakers need firmware updates?

Programming@programming.dev•A faster way to calculate the day-of-the-week
2·10 days agoIt assumes that you already know how modulus works under the hood, which I absolutely did not. The proof for how it’s allowed is at the bottom which I would have read first if I’d have known.

Programming@programming.dev•Good Culture is the Biggest Productivity Hack, Not AI
1·10 days agoI also got to refractor a major headache away, it was finally cheap enough to do all in one go instead of putting in a new pattern and incrementally change. The “Do one, do one, now repeat” prompt pattern works really well for these.

29·10 days agoWhen I drive I’m aware that I’m in the killing machine which means to me that if a bike comes to an intersection and doesn’t look like they’re stopping I consider them having the right of way no matter the situation.
I make space for mopeds and give them also extra care if they’re doing something dumb just because in a collision I’m not the one getting injured. For example in a congested roundabout I know they’re probably going to filter through and pass in front of my car so I just make space so that it can be done safely.
Safe and predictable.



That’s a valid problem, I want also to point out that there are lids made out of polystyrene and people sometimes put hot food in styrofoam (also polystyrene). That plastic barely biodrades at all and is not stable at moderately high temperatures.
Also, even though PLA has 12 more particles PE might be a lot more damaging since PLA is biodegradable. Although the jury is still out on PLA and how efficiently the body can get rid of it PE is much much more likely to stay and accumulate.
