Well despite it, I think his bombings still kinda pale in comparison to the ones US pulls.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer?
1·4 days agoYou’re not wrong, cash does have more mistakes, but it evens out at the end, since you usually make mistakes both ways. Cash is riskier, yeah. But it’s also a lot cheaper depending on what the services and machines cost.
I remember a time when people were hesitant to use cards for small payments, and some places wouldn’t take them for small purchases.
Then cards became more popular and in recent years cash has been going away at least here, when it used to be that you had to be able to take cash.
But yeah mistakes happen with cards as well. They’re just way harder to fix from the client end. (Client as in the company/person using a card machine to charge someone something.)
But yeah it’s marginally easier to just take card payments but you have to keep the receipts from those as well just like you need to keep cash so there’s not that much of a difference in very small scales. (Like driving a taxi.) The bigger the scale the more it matters.

10·7 days agoI think that was still very much a thing at least a decade after Britney became legal.

Gif reminder that Daenerys is 13 at the start of GoT. But ofc the actress was 24 in s1 so not really anything controversial.
I can’t say for sure that actresses ages were tracked as much but I remember like sites showing countdowns to when Emma Watson became of legal age. I’m the same age roughly so it wasn’t weird for me but it was weird that people did it.
And still do.

1·8 days agoIdk “account tenure” sounds like “if you signed up when we first opened in 2015 we prolly don’t need an id”
But what do i know
I mean yeah they are RGBWW if you put it like that but wouldn’t RGB already include different temps of white? So all of my bulbs are Hue, and yes, they were somewhat of an investment even though my apt is not that huge. Like 300e total years ago though, for uhmm the basic 250e colour set, 5 e27 bulbs hub and remote, and then later I also bought two e14s.
But the LED panel I have is actually a 300w growlight. I couldn’t put it on full I’d burn my eyes. But it serves very well as light therapy on the mildest setting. It’s not got any adjustments except a dimmer though.
Or go full high-tech and install lights with adjustable color temperature.
I may be ahead of the curve a bit. Adjustable colour temp didn’t seem enough. My whole apartment has RGB bulbs since about 5-6 years ago. I just couldn’t go back to on/off one shade lights ugh.
Also I rock a 300w LED panel to get a bit more brightness in my winter days, but that’s not RGB though.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail?
2·20 days agoI think the chain should be the length of half the width of your opponents shield, or thereabouts. That’s just me guessing and I’m no nerd about medieval warfare.
Flails are apparently kinda shit but prolly work against shields.
I mean theres no objectivity to the way we describe the universe anyway
You’re going all in the self-delusing. If there’s no objectivity, then how come we can launch shit to other planets? Why does that tech work?
A meter is more less a yard. Ever heard the term “yard-stick”? Ofc you have, and you know what it means, but you’ll pretend not to.
I’ll tell you that I’m klorknon gribbits tall and that is not objective, because it’s just some bullshit I just made up. Like the bullshit you keep making up to not have to learn the measuring system the entire rest of the world uses.
Feets and pounds are nowadays objective, as they’re based on metric standards, which have been strictly objectively defined, no matter what sophistry you want to wave around about how no measuring system is arbitrary since you don’t understand it.
A second is exactly 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.
And here’s the dictionary definition for “objective”.
objective
adjective
: expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations
Your “b-b-but it’s a closer to human-scale scale actually much better cause cooking temps and 0 temps don’t matter” is affected by your personal feelings that Fahrenheit is somehow “more human-scale”, whatever the fuck that means.
That’s the problem; you’re not actually pitching anything. You’re badly rationalising why your personal preference would be objectively better, and labeling it in a pseudointellectual bullshit that doesn’t make any sense.
Edit oh and don’t get “heated” then…?
closer with human-scale temps
So you just never cook anything? Because if you cook, your scale is longer. You have to heat your oven to 350+ degrees, whereas I’m just putting it to 180. So the scale is actually “aligned closer with human-scale temps” whatever your brainfart can be interpreted to mean.
we spend 90% of our lives wandering around in a fairly narrow range of temperatures
You do. You. Just like you think your brainfart is in anyway an improvement instead of just silly rambling without any sense whatsoever.
I have never once cared about the actual temperature of that reaction
Because you don’t live in Peru or the bottom of the sea, so you don’t have to, because you know it’s always pretty much exactly 100 for you.
A person with a stroke could’ve written your comment and it would be none the better.
Not one of your arguments holds any water; Centrigrade is a smaller scale, and a more logical one. Standing naked outside, most people would have a fairly good guess on when it’s near or below 0c. Or as English actually says “freezing.” You couldn’t even tell 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Literally most people in the world have never even experienced such a temperature. I have. I’ve also experienced -40 (where they meet.)
How many days a year do you spend in 0f?
Because in my country being below zero is more common than not. Both C and F, moreso C though, as “it’s closer to a human scale”.
So F is wider, cooking temps are double that of anything in double digits, no-one can even tell where 0f is and 100f is very much not close to the warmest things we handle in our daily lives.
0-100c is quite simple. Over or under, don’t touch with bare skin. (For non cooks stay below 60c though or you’ll burn yourself)
But I don’t need to argue. The works decided long ago.
And I bet that room has its own thermostat, fuel, and doesn’t reach that temperature without human input.
I don’t manage to see your point. If the point is “you can’t live in places which are hotter the average body temp”, then should I point you towards Australasia? Also, in my last apartment, I didn’t have a sauna, but I did have a kitchen that was constantly above 40 and topped out my 52c meter in my kitchen.
considered on a common use scale?
Only an American things measuring things in average horse blood temperature vs when water boils at sealevel is a “common use scale”.
A “common” use scale for you less metrically abled; “fucking freezing”, “freezing”, “cold”, “cool”, “okay”, “a bit warm” “too hot” “fucking scorching”.
The hottest recorded temperature on earth is 56°C
You mean the hottest ambient temperature measured not from direct sunlight. Yeah, maybe. Still a bit more than our body temp, no?
water’s boiling point can vary wildly on Earth.
Yeah, but 100c doesn’t. It’s always the temperature at which pure water boils at sea level.
If I forget to check the altitude I could mistakenly think my boiling teapot is at 100°C instead of 68°C.
Sure yeah, you sound like a guy who might have a problem like that. Luckily for you, kettles don’t actually have thermostats set to 100c. They shut off when the water is boiling, despite the temperature. So people like you have been accounted for, rest assured. Nor will you be needing to make any thermometers either.
quirks of your appliances
So you microwave shit and then think temp doesn’t matter? I don’t really “appliances”. Is a grater an appliance? A manual one? Knives a few pans, ingredients. Thermometer. Perhaps if you’ve actually been doing a dish for 20 years perfectly you can forget about but it but it’s an absolute must for most kitchen professionals; good measuring instruments. A scale and a thermometer, mainly. Don’t really need anything else. Don’t even need that to cook, obviously. But because of the “quirks of your appliance”, you probe your meat, to meet the right temp. Damn I made myself hungry. Well I got some moose in the freezer.
That’s why many recipes give hints on target texture or look (crispy, soft, golden brown…). But yes if you want a very specific
What’s way more important in cooking is actually the measuring than thinking you can just throw it together and wait until it turns whatever the description wants. If you want it good, you’ll measure it to the gram and use the correct temp. Which is a bit above our body temp again, but guess “cooking” isn’t included in “common use scale”?
Humans are endothermic, which means being somewhere hotter than us is Not Good™️.
Endothermic refers to the ability of the organism to regulate it’s temperature, not just the ability to generate heat, but also to cool itself down. We humans are so good at it, that we can literally just jog prey down in hot environments and pretty much all animals will overheat before we do.
Hell, in my apartment there’s a room especially for making it very hot and humid. Even above 100c, and I still don’t boil. Weird, huh?
cooking temps generally don’t require much prevision
Alright. Sure. Yeah. Why not. /s
