Videos@lemmy.world•Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) - Technology Connextras
9·2 天前I don’t have an EV yet, but I already refuse (prefuse? pre-refuse?) to use an app to charge my car which pretty much locks me out of most fast chargers.
I’ve been WFH since COVID and only drive a few times a week. When I do get an EV hopefully in the next 1-3 years, it’s probably going to basically trickle-charge from a modest PV setup. If it takes 3 days to fully charge, so be it; it’d just be sitting there anyway. Though I’ll probably wire in a 220v level 2 charger (or whatever they’re classified as) on the rare occasion I need a faster charge.
Yeah, I may have to settle for woodworking. I could set that up in my basement safely enough but definitely can’t be welding or have other fire hazards.
Only limitation with woodworking in insufficient ventilation if I want to paint or varnish or something.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a hobby you wish you could do?
33·3 天前Metalworking. It’s not so much beyond my ability so much as it’s out of my price range to get into it. I just don’t have any of the necessary tools nor an appropriate workspace, and I’d basically have to build a workshop and start from the literal ground up.

Risa@startrek.website•A little Martha "Kirk Lazarus" Hackett appreciationEnglish
2·3 天前Heh, I just watched “The Search” the other day which is actually what inspired this meme. The thought did cross my mind that “Seska” could be T’Rul wearing a Cardassian mask wearing a Bajoran mask.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why don't companies that make computer chips cut corners at the expense of stability?
14·3 天前They kind of do, or at least used to.
If memory serves, they would take higher-end chips that didn’t pass QA for that product line, disable some cores or whatever, and sell it as a lower-end chip.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What’s the difference between anarchy and libertarianism?
19·3 天前I’ve always observed them to be the largely the same thing but on different ends of the ideological spectrum (libertarians holding a more right-wing stance to anarchism’s left-wing stances). Otherwise, they’re both essentially petulant toddlers stamping their feet and saying “I don’t want to, and you can’t make me”.

8·6 天前I wonder what trek would be like if they’d only ever had shuttles.
The Orville lol

7·6 天前ENT is definitely one of my top 3 Treks. Wasn’t perfect, but I just really like the “everything is new and experimental” aspect of it. That, and the early episodes having to solve problems without relying on the transporters or having to hand-wave away why they can’t use them.

20·6 天前Sometimes clunky problems require simple solutions lol. I couldn’t figure out any other way to represent Pa’nar syndrome in a still.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you really seperate the art from the artist?
343·6 天前If the artist is constantly in the news reminding me what a POS they are IRL, then no, I can’t enjoy their works because that’s always in my mind. Otherwise, if they just fuck off into obscurity, then I can enjoy the works independently for what they are.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think about power stations?
7·7 天前Last fall I bought a 1 KWh Anker power station, and I’m loving it. It charges from 800 watts of solar and powers all kinds of random stuff around the house each day. Useful for power outages, too.
I used to have one of those. Think it was 600W on highest setting. Only problem with it was it was tiny and barely anything fit in it. Pretty sure it was meant for RVs but it was $10 at a garage sale and I needed a microwave at the time.
Can confirm, lol. For breakfast, I heated up some leftover spaghetti and meatballs I made last night, and 5 minutes at 60% was the perfect amount.
I’ve largely moved to using the air fryer / toaster oven to heat things up, but the biggest “life hack” for microwaving is doubling the time and halving the power. That, and stirring halfway through.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some interesting and fun things to do while you are doing cannabis?
23·9 天前I am probably the wrong person to answer, but I usually just get a light buzz going and work on stuff around the house or yard.
Mowing the yard, pulling weeds, or working in the garden with a light buzz is pretty darn relaxing to me lol. Doing the dishes, laundry, vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom? None of those are particularly fun but are necessary and greatly improved by having a light buzz.
On the rare occasion I accidentally get too buzzed and end up glued to the couch, the dogs are more than happy to take advantage and receive lots of pets and lap time.

46·9 天前Just poker, drinking, and hanging out.












I don’t want to repeat what others have already said as that’s all pretty accurate. As a rule of thumb, just look at the site sidebar for various instances and just avoid any that base themselves around any form of identity politics. Sadly, that’s a lot of them, but life is better without those kinds of attitudes in your face all the time.
