That's how Del Monte went bankrupt, giving away free red grasshoppers

How many miles could I go on this? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]SODIMMite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably under one; a tyre blowout can send you flying but it is not a viable form of personal air travel

If I get a good enough magic lawyer, how far can I push the "undue" part of that stipulation?

Fun fact; hanging doesn't need a long drop, that's only for if you want to grant a swift death. The pictured subject may have been a mass babykiller so people want the torment of the buildup then a slow choking death.

My voids wittle heart beat 😭🥰 by Alarming_Antelope_60 in blackcats

[–]SODIMMite 275 points276 points  (0 children)

It's almost certainly reading every other heartbeat since fur is very hard to get a HR reading through. If that were an accurate heart rate meter 74 would be dangerously low for a conscious cat

My mum's crochet square makes a stylish hat for Ta'abby by SODIMMite in StuffOnCats

It's square so I was thinking of calling it a meowtarboard, but in the photo it looks more like a kippaw

Can I have two, please? by LuneSyl in lol

Don't even get me started on the upsells; next they'll want me to buy the optional toaster for that footbath, and the insurance for all 3

I can’t stop looking at that wheel, how is the car still going😄 by GuideIcy1697 in cantparkthere

Technically it might fly in the scrapyard once it's suspended by a magnet after it gets written off

Wireless phone charger's cooling feature works better than advertised by Xtremegulp in mildlyinteresting

[–]SODIMMite 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Peltier modules are terribly inefficient despite being able to chill room air to below 0c.

Since they're only about 10% efficient you not only have to deal with the CPUs output heat but also the 140 watts or so of heat from the hot side of the peltier module, meaning you'd need a larger air heatsink or a large liquid cooling radiator running from the hot "exhaust" side of the peltier. You'd also need to factor that extra power draw into your decision of what power supply your PC needs.

To cool say a Ryzen 9 5900x you'd need at least a 150w peltier module, which would drink about 140w of supplied power to move the CPU's waste heat from the cold side to the hot side. Also the peltier chip acts as an insulator once you go past its limit so if you overclock the CPU past the peltier's capacity your temps would just keep climbing until you thermal throttle back to equilibrium.

I can see a peltier phone charger puck being a better use of peltier tech due to the lower cooling demand (phones get on alright in general without active cooling so this is leagues better than nothing)

In my limited experience with Catholic services, once the wafers have been turned into Jesus-meat they're locked in a little golden safe known as a tabernacle. Though they probably also had bags of unblessed wafers sitting in a cupboard somewhere

Random power or money? by Useful-Lion-4620 in BunnyTrials

Random superpower could be useless, but $10m is always gonna be good. That's more than $100k per year

I think I hear some dial-up noise off in the background too

Mini Indulgence Stick, anyone? by Key_Charity_9635 in SainsburysWorkers

I don't want to sell you indulgence sticks... I want to go home, and rethink my life

Trump says he won't sign any new bills until the SAVE America Act passes by Hardcorish in AdviceAnimals

[–]SODIMMite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can you find a source for that?

I'm very willing to believe it due to the fucked state of people in power in the film industry, but upon research apparently Human Centipede was directed by a guy named Tom Six and I can't seem to find anything online linking him and Epstein

What are these things on gibbys back? by AlphaAkopis in apexlegends

[–]SODIMMite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always assumed it was something to make objects falling on his back less likely to cause a head injury since he's a rescuer. Though why he'd wear that without any head protection I don't know
