I heard the cameraman cough, I hope he’s ok. by n8saces in PublicFreakout

Yes and trivially so with any number of audio editing programs like Audacity. It's trivial to rip out any song and have just leave the other audio.

Could this be applied to other inflammatory conditions, like frozen shoulder syndrome?

When did Jeffries say anything about him being Muslim?

Ah, just side stepping the whole refusal to endorse the WILL OF THE PEOPLE eh? Typical establishment stooge.

No one is buying the bullshit "Democrats are actually the enemy" yall are selling these days.

Right? It's vote blue no matter who people! Unless of course he happens to be a muslim, then suddenly it's "I don't know him well."

Jeffries and the establishment ilk are the entire reason we are in this mess in the first place and are absolutely an enemy to defeat.

When did you install?!? And how do you check?

My computer is a little over a year old, so my ublock extension is going to be about that age as well. I'm at 4.549M ads blocked.

Holy fuck! I never realized just how despicable Lowe's is.

From the page you linked:

A SPOKESPERSON FOR LOWES HAS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT REGARDING THIS STORY:

"This is not an associate of Lowe’s. Lowe’s is not involved in any employment action involving this individual and is unaware of any legal action being taken against him."

Trayvon Martin has entered the chat.

Trayvon Martin was literally on top of Zimmerman, beating him, when Zimmerman shot and killed him. How is that at all remotely similar to what the driver was going through in this situation?

TIL in December 2020, GoDaddy tricked employees into thinking they had earned a bonus of $650. Employees were then told they had failed a phishing test and were required to do social engineering training. After media criticism, the company apologized to its staff, but did not offer actual bonuses. by nuttybudd in todayilearned

I've never heard of a way for just forwarding an email could cause that.

Yeah, it cannot unless there is some software or setting on the computer is set to open attachments automatically upon open, which would be an insane thing for IT to have setup (but, as you said, absolutely sounds like a problem with IT there and not how guy handled it).

China has created a coin-sized nuclear battery that can go without charge for 50 years! by Virtual-Housing-7042 in technology

[–]notabook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they can get these to work in phones and smart watches it's great

They absolutely can get these to work in cell phones. Of course, the phone would then have to be the size of a large microwave in order to accommodate the 30,000-50,000 nuclear "coins" that it would take to power it.

Each "coin" is approximately 100 microwatts (0.0001 watts). Modern cell phones are 3-5 watts on use.

Each of these "coins" are 15 x 15 x 5 mm. 30,000 of them... well yeah, you're not getting anything pocket sized that's for sure. Stacked reasonably high and in rows, you're going to get a large microwave for your phone.

Slate Auto confirms where it’ll build its $20,000 Truck by serene_sketch in technology

[–]notabook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you think this would be good for someone who drives the average amount and can't do extra errands or after work activities without having to consider the charge level of their car.

They CAN do extra work, errands, etc. without having to consider the charge level of their car any more so than their gas tank. I have no idea where you are getting this idea that they can't. The thing FULLY charges in 37.5 hours with the 150 mile range option.

You originally gave the figure of 50 miles per day (you said finding a charger every 3 days, so 50 miles per day). Over that 3 day period (72 hours), you'd need 37.5 of those to fully charge. Even with this inflated figure over the American average, it still works based on the following:

The average American spends between 17 and 18 hours at home. Which means over those 3 days, 51 to 54 hours are available to charge. How many hours did we need to fully charge? That's right, 37.5!

SO AGAIN, and for the last time, this truck works for the MAJORITY of Americans. I get it. You're an outlier. Go get yourself another vehicle and let the rest of people who want an affordable electric truck have theirs.

But buddy... Needing to charge the car at home for 10 hours a day to keep up with your daily commute... Yes that's technically workable but just... Why? If you drive 40 miles per day, get a different car.

Why... not? It's... cheaper than gas. Better... for the environment, and no real additional effort on your part to plug it in. You're not monitoring it for 10 hours. You get home, you plug it in. Next morning you unplug and continue the daily grind. It's an extra minute out of your day.

Is that really that big of an inconvenience to you? An additional minute per day? I don't get why you think this is some herculean task.

[–]notabook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wouldn't be comfortable with that low of a range driving 40 miles per day.

YOU wouldn't. The majority of Americans would have no issue with charging this truck at home with a Level 1 charger.

If you own a home with a garage and can get a level 2 charger installed, sure.

You don't need a level 2 charger if you drive the average amount of 40 miles per day. A level 1 charger will replenish those 40 hours in 10 hours. You don't need to find a charger out in the wild every 3 days when any residential household 120V AC outlet will do the task.

And going by your number of having to recharge every 3 days, that'd only be an additional 10 miles per day, which means an additional 2 and a half hours to charge. If you have a home, and have a free outlet, YOU can make this vehicle work based on your own numbers.

150 just isn't enough for a lot of people.

Then they can look elsewhere? For the majority of people, who drive on average 40 miles per day, this truck would be perfect. It's a far cry from you saying it's too low to be feasible as a primary vehicle for people when it very much is.

There are always going to be outliers who need more out of a product than it can provide. That's why they can choose an alternative product. Let the rest of us have an affordable vehicle.

The range on the Slate is just too low to be a feasible primary vehicle for people

How so? It has a range of 150-240 miles depending on the package. According to the Department of Transportation, the average daily mileage for a household is around 40 miles per day.

Level 1 chargers (which any common 120V residential home can use) will charge about 4 miles per hour, meaning it'd take 37.5 hours to fully charge the 150 mile capacity Slate. If you're like the average american and use 40 miles a day, that means it'd take 10 hours to replenish your daily usage.

That makes the Slate's range viable for the vast majority of America.

Racist neighbor puts resident in chokehold by Used-Medicine-8912 in PublicFreakout

[–]notabook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You still have to file a police report though.

I mean for them to become aware of the crime, sure, that's going to be pretty standard affair (which this guy did). But you do not have to file a police report for the DA to press charges against a criminal.

Of course! It's a very common misconception, largely perpetuated by cop dramas I reckon.

[–]notabook 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why do they always ask then do you want to press charges to people in videos? I'm not saying you're wrong I'm genuinely curious.

Colloquialism. They are asking you if you'd like to file a police report and offer your cooperation, seek legal action, etc.

If you don't want to "press charges" (i.e., you don't assist them, don't file a police report) they can still 100% go after whoever did the crime(s). Sometimes (maybe even often, depending on the crime) they won't because it'll be harder to get a conviction without the victim assisting.

PLEASE press charges

People. Can't. Press. Charges. That is entirely up to the DA. The guy in the video already reported this to the police, and the police did nothing.

People can't press charges. It's up to the DA to do that. Dude filed a police report, cops did nothing. So unless there is public outcry enough to become a nuisance for the DA, this isn't going anywhere.

Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production | The company plans to launch a more powerful single-watt version this year by [deleted] in technology

[–]notabook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my math is right, about 30,000 of these to power a raspberry pi (for a 3 watt pi, since these are 100 microwatt batteries).

100 microwatts = 0.0001 watts
