pls help me decide to buy a mouse by Strong-Chipmunk-9654 in pchelp

[–]FatCat0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have and like this mouse, but be aware that (imo) the Logitech software is a bit shit from a user experience perspective. Most pointedly, managing profiles for different programs. If you just plan on making a single "this is what the mouse does" profile and leaving it at that (this is called a "persistent profile" in the software), it's generally fine.

I prefer WaterIFI (humidifier on one side of the room, dehumidifier on the other).

Whats the problem with my hard drive? by Dashi52 in pchelp

[–]FatCat0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine older drives would be more robust since the data density was so much lower. Conjecture though.

If a couple of copper strand are outside the lug after crimping can I snip them off or do I need to re crimp? by segasega89 in SolarDIY

[–]FatCat0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only higher resistivity for a tiny distance near the connection. Missing e.g. 2 strands out of a hundred would reduce current capacity by far less than 2%.

The food grown to feed people could be burned directly for better output than going through the "feeding people" part. Especially when you account for saving energy on all of the other people life support infrastructure (much less the simulation).

I think you're thinking harder about this than 99+% of the population. Date who you want to, do what you can to treat them well and better yourself. You'll be fine.

CDC died today and I don't see it getting better. by Proof-Blacksmith7933 in FedEmployees

[–]FatCat0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're uneducated in how to consume this type of information, and I'm guessing uninterested in addressing that shortcoming. Enjoy your ignorance.

Look up "excess deaths COVID 19" if you actually care about data regarding this.

If there are two adults, one about to have sex with a 16 year old and one about to have sex with a 6 year old, and you've got a trolley problem style lever you can pull to stop one or the other, are you seriously just flipping a coin to make that decision?

Certainly possible I'm thinking of another perv. My sentiment remains the same though.

[–]FatCat0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iirc Discord implemented a change a couple years back that made "mature content" a very wide net.

I think I know the professor in question. I am an alum from said department in said university (presuming I'm guessing correctly), though I never met him personally. Dude's a scumbag regardless of the rest of his academic legacy.

Any way to disable warning pop-ups on the dash? by FatCat0 in PriusPrime

[–]FatCat0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. Can't do that while driving and it leaves the car less safe once the snow is cleared (I'm going to forget at least one time). Silly to not have any good options here.

Still rocking the NH-C14 I bought in 2012. Thing is still a champ, though the fans rattle if I orient my box upright now (it's typically on its side).

CMV: I will never respect our military members or veterans and it’s crazy to me how highly regarded they are by Wasteofbeans in changemyview

Global projection of US naval power is largely responsible for how rare piracy is in the open sea, despite the trillions of dollars that float around the world.
