I wonder how much more likely pets would be to adopt their new beds if their owners sat in them for a day before giving it to them.

A raise with no promotion = more pay for the same responsibilities.

The last point in year 3 sounds divine.

Also at the end of it all they went for a 4 day work week, on top of the raises.

Why does he have 4 accounts? Relevant XKCD

Edit: lmfao do people really think this image isn’t all the same guy?? With those profile pics???

Apparently a lot of the translations for women “washing feet” was actually originally “washing genitals” - probably the equivalent of a “massage” in the modern day.

Also, Jesus washed a lot of people’s feet.

Bangin. Just what I needed tonight, thanks.

Probably refers to island mode capability. The inverters can generate their own set point voltage, rather than relying on a voltage from the grid and responding to its inputs. One of the main downsides of renewables is that they are inverter driven and the output is always chasing and lagging behind its input, whereas a spinning turbine just keeps spinning via inertia, in spite of load fluctuations.

This has other advantages with possible reactive power compensation and load diversion on distribution and transmission networks, if fully implemented.

In this case, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have island mode capability because of unreliability from the grid.

Any renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuels.

Over the 30-50 year life of a power plant, fuel is by far the biggest cost. Renewables have zero fuel cost.

Hey if it works in nature.

The winglets on the end of airplane wings were added after watching hawk wing feathers with slow motion cameras.

The joke is that this is the best representation of a Fourier transform you’re ever likely to see.

… First time?

Palantir doesn’t own the whole country, not yet, it’s more of a malignant tumour that keeps spreading and resists treatment. Some progress appears to be being made right now but who knows if the country will survive it in the long run.

Meanwhile Trump and co seem to pretty much own the US now.

The UK has generally been roughly 5 years behind the US with most things.

Yeah I was thinking it must be to do with some un-federated stuff.

How dare you post this without any link @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world

Edit: Looks a bit different today, how could have a last post 2 years ago in the OP but have a last post here just over 1 year ago?

The clever part is drawing the parallel between two unrelated things, to draw on the recipient’s emotions about one of them and entice them to compare why they feel differently about the other.

Somewhat manipulative, perhaps, but only in the way that explaining things manipulates someone into understanding.

There were people around the globe who knew about the nsa before Edward Snowden and told the truth.

There was a whole fucking Will Smith movie about it in the late 90s. With Gene Hackman, and young Jack Black and Seth Green. Enemy of the State.

But yeah that wasn’t proof, either. But it was the closest to people shouting on the rooftops that this kind of thing was, in fact, happening.

I mean he did coin/popularise the phrase “Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

I’m happy to do that, but without any update notification a new update will likely go unnoticed for some time.

One of the big issues with 7-Zip is that it only really updates manually. There is literally no update functionality baked in, at least in the version I’ve been running.
