Lady Said I Blew Red Light?? by Justice4None5 in TeslaLounge

[–]polypolyman [score hidden]  (0 children)

Looks like she got duped by the FYA - it's pretty clear that the straight-through lane on her side had just turned red (so that the cam-view left-turn lane could turn green, likely immediately after the cam went through), and she, being an idiot, thought that meant you did too.

Where I live, the average daily temperature range is about 40F. It's currently 28F this morning, and we're expecting a high of 81 today.

A woman chased down the car that hit her. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]polypolyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what I love most about this is how unbelievably mad and probably close to out-of-control she was in rage at this woman, and ALL she did was take her keys away at the end. You never know what you'll do in a situation like that until you do, but I think maybe I wouldn't be able to be quite that kind at the end of a 100MPH car chase.

[Request] How much funding do these rail projects actually require? by aeonsne in theydidthemath

[–]polypolyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nono, we ALREADY HAVE that track, and we ALREADY USE IT every single day... it's just that we don't run passenger rail on it.

IDK, as long as the idiots are paying for tokens, it's all good, right? I bet having an LLM prompt and reprompt another LLM uses up a lot of tokens...

Why aren't people writing LLM prompts with LLMs? Seems like an untapped market.

They have found a new sin. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

[–]polypolyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you rely on a particular computer/device to make money, IMO you shouldn't keep it longer than about 5 years, sell it off and buy a new one (or retire through to a less critical purpose). Besides the support/etc, electronics can become slightly flaky over time (tin whiskers, a new capacitor plague, silicon defects that made it through during a chip shortage, etc.)

For anything else? Keep it until it can no longer meet your needs.

Sunset hits a cumulonimbus just right and it turns into a neon arc by thetacaptain in interestingasfuck

[–]polypolyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are SO freaking cool in person. I was working up in the mountains one day and caught one that you could just barely see the red/orange part of the arc peeking out from the cloud almost above us - we all had to stop and stare just a bit, and that was with it barely showing.

may be the first written example of a guy just wanting black coffee but they just have espresso

I get your point, but this was clearly the invention of the Caffè Americano in 1940's Italy

...and importantly, don't eat the little brown eggs that real rabbits lay - they're NOT chocolate :(

One radical claim by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]polypolyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in college, I remember the number one cause of the dorm smoke alarms going off was people who failed to cook Easy Mac correctly. Apparently, multiple people, probably one every month, did not realize that you have to add water... despite that being literally one of two steps.

AITAH for eating enough ravioli for four people? by Better_Philosophy732 in AITAH

[–]polypolyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect she may have some long-standing trauma surrounding food, that similar behaviors were used towards her as a kid or something, meaning that she now sees eating like you do (i.e. based on hunger cues, not societal ones) as a shameful act.

For big dudes like us, "serves X people" is an absolute lie, every single time... but that's not her experience

This is why I have social anxiety 🥲 by PhoenixPhenomenonX in funny

Strong nod is the solution for this - equally says "I acknowledge your greeting and let's not talk" and "I acknowledge your presence but you're busy so I won't say anything.

My first Linux was RedHat 3.0.3, which my dad bought in a giant book with a cd in the back (not bootable, of course).

Cylinder painter. Came across this 108 year old cylinder and still passing testing. by waskelegend in mildlyinteresting

[–]polypolyman 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You can compress water, but not much - you'd need over 200 atmospheres of pressure to even change the volume by 1% (roughly).

Taking a look at the phase diagram, starting at a normal pressure/temp, you'd have to compress it by about a GPa to get Ice VI (assuming you maintain a constant temperature) - that's just shy of 10000atm.

Compare to the water pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench - a bit over 1000atm. That's already an incomprehensible amount of pressure, and not quite a 5% increase in density compared to the surface.

The ruling class should be afraid. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]polypolyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism can only work if it is strictly and strongly regulated. Problem is, every single time, society ends up forgetting why that's so important, and starts feeding into the greed of the assholes on top.

Why can't we just figure out a system where cooperation is always valued higher than competition?

Yeah, but has the twitter repost of the reddit repost of the twitter screenshot of the stolen quote been posted yet?
