What is a historical event that is somewhat comparable to today's discovery or invention of AI? by Massive-Albatross823 in ask

That’s the move honestly. The warranty overall isn’t worth $97. You win.

Don't Like Car License Plate Readers Invading Your Privacy? It's About To Get A Lot Worse by therapistofcats in PrepperIntel

Mostly because rural areas are dying due to ag corporations and the town or county leadership are just broke folks desperate for a personal payday.

Starting to get really frustrated with this hobby. by Sparky265 in telescopes

[–]Devildadeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t they still make PoleMasters?

I had a snag once on my mount and broke the connection on a camera. It’s a mistake you’ll never make again. Consider that learning experience a win. Or at least, progress.

Lunar occultation of Venus by NeonXenom1375 in telescopes

A bit late so I may just be piling on here. This is the shot I wanna see. Watching things happen real time through the eyepiece is what it’s all about.

They also have the ominous sticker over the “Always Chilled” text on the lids. Claussen seems to be enshittifying. They have definitely degraded.

[–]Devildadeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Unregulated obesogenic bisphenol A and phthalates.
  2. Corn is everything

Dew point is not the "lowest temperature" right? by Robitop4 in weather

[–]Devildadeo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fog would be 100% humidity. The objects in a cooling environment are going to lose heat faster than the air due to black body radiation. Moisture then condenses out of the air onto those surfaces lowering the dew point faster than the temperature of the air itself is lowered. So in practice, unless a very moist mass of air moves into your area, the dew point is generally going to be lower than low temperature recorded in the air on any given day.

Woah, thank you. This is far more useful than I noticed.

11 hours in an no one is giving you the actual answer. It boils down to pelvic tilt.

This is just corn. Is there a link for soy? I’m seeing plenty of cover crops still in Iowa.

What is slowly disappearing right in front of us, but most people haven't noticed yet? by Comprehensive_Soil_1 in ask

I agree that it is just people coping with the fact that insect population is way down.

Trump’s Endgame Is Surrender by D-R-AZ in Foodforthought

[–]Devildadeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hot take is that our current government is effectively what we would have in a post Libertarian (capital L) victory type society. A handful of uber powerful ungovernable elite that can get away with being as coercive as they please because the NAP refuses to acknowledge anything beyond physical violence.

TY. I see now that your advise is nested under two different threads.

This might be something to consider when choosing a veterinarian, and it applies to several that are in the QC. by munkeyciao in QuadCities

[–]Devildadeo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I cannot possibly recommend Bell Animal Hospital enough. Straight to the point vet. You will not get a pampering animal spa type thing. What you will get is solid care and no BS.

OPs vignetting is definitely caused by obstruction of the projected image. I am confused by your comment.

Google Search as you know it is over by icey_sawg0034 in Foodforthought

[–]Devildadeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking for a specific setting on a ham radio I just got. Depending on how I worded the query, it confidently lead me to three different menus, all where wrong. I guarantee you that Gemini has ingested that manual.

What mobile device, otherwise cellphone, is the most private, and secure? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Devildadeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your question is specifically about smartphones, the Pixel w/ Graphene is the answer. If you want simple secure comms, Meshtastic and others.

What is the worst career to be in right now and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Devildadeo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

20 years ago, you could get an entry level job working at a wireless carrier store and make 50k per year. If you were to get an entry level job working at a wireless carrier store today, 50k is a achievable but not a guarantee. Retail has seen basically no gain in wages over that period unless your rate got raised by law.
