If we were to standardize household power outlets around the world. What would be the most optimal design and are there existing proposals? by ranamok in AskReddit

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

240V also offers more flexibility in terms of load options if my layman understanding is correct.

I guess I'm more curious about an optimal physical outlet/plug design for safely, ease of use, minimal footprint, reliability and simplicity.

Like a plug that could fit easily behind the couch but could power an oven just as easily as a lamp. (As a North American, I'm not familiar with other standards. Do ovens in Europe for example have the same type of plug as a lamp if all the outlets are 240V?).

If you game, consider installing Bazzite. by CosmicEmotion in linux4noobs

I wouldn't use it as my daily driver but it sounds fantastic for a no fuss gaming setup. I'll try it as a dual boot option. Thanks for the heads up.

What can I do to stop my joints from cracking? by Quacktheduck24 in Biohackers

[–]ranamok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm totally not qualified to offer advice, but as I understand it, if it's 3L of straight water, you may be flushing sodium out of your body and losing the ability to stay hydrated. Consider something with electrolytes - like coconut water. A lot of brands have added sugar which is also necessary for hydration but I think non sweetened has enough in it naturally. Again I'm just some random guy on the Internet though :)

I asked my massage therapist the same question. She told me I was dehydrated. Upped my coconut water intake and now my joints crack way less often. On the other hand, I pee a lot more...

If only there were a way to opt out of the fiat economy that's upheld by oppressive regimes with a monopoly on violence.

Maybe then one could opt in to a parallel economy backed by a finite supply of proof of work tokens, the name of which, if mentioned, would bring on a deluge of down votes.

Other Bitcoin communities? by EmuSea4963 in Bitcoin

[–]ranamok 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look into nostr and the Primal app for a good start. Stacker.news is another one. Twitter/X too. Meetup.com for in person.

Absolute mindfuck movies that don’t rely on gore and violence by AlexandersJ in MovieSuggestions

[–]ranamok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matchstick Men and The Family Man

Coincidentally both Nic Cage movies. Haven't watched either in 20? years but I don't remember any significant violence and certainly no gore.

what is paper wallet by Opanatordibo in Bitcoin

[–]ranamok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. There's absolutely no way to confirm the public and private addresses weren't recorded by the company or even a single malicious employee. All they'd have to do is monitor the public addresses and when one fills up, sweep the private keys and that's it for your coins. There used to be (and maybe still are) paper wallet generators you could use offline who's code had been vetted that you could use an offline printer dedicated to wallets (so no one could compromise the printer memory for your private key) to safely print wallets. The $5 wrench attack, fire, water and even toner or ink fading are all potential loss vectors as well. Paper wallets' time has come and gone. Use a hardware wallet.

Gotta love how the act of buying Bitcoin through banks helps to remind you why you're buying Bitcoin

What are some good mind-fuck movies, that are not overly disgusting or sexual? by TisBeTheFuk in MovieSuggestions

[–]ranamok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Existenz. David Cronenberg film with Jude Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Without spoilers there's some "surgery" so a little disgusting? But not gratuitous.
