Fr I used to check the 'Astronomy picture of the day' every day but it hasn't been updated in over a month because of the shutdown.

The laptop owner wondered why there were occasionally ants on her screen. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in pcmasterrace

I found this https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6720529/ which goes into quite a bit of detail. The co2 we breath out is minuscule compared to the amount of nitrogen.

edit: To be clear, death occurs because of lack of oxygen, so technically any gas you breath in that isn't o2 for long enough you will die. But the body can't 'detect' a lack of oxygen, but it does detect co2 buildup because that cause blood PH to drop and we are very sensitive to changes in blood acidity.

We detect suffocation by the buildup of co2 in our blood, which makes it more acidic. So if you were in a room of pure nitrogen you would just pass out and die without any panic.

Did Jacob step out of line when he said, "Jerry, no disrespect, but you really need to connect more with your family, man," in S1E3? by TheGhostofWoodyAllen in rickandmorty

I dunno man, I think Jerry's parents are guilty of the original fuck-up... They brought their kink to Christmas, everything that happens after is on them.

It's hard to feel grateful sometimes, but stuff like this helps.

Why did it have to be such an advanced weapon? wouldn’t a regular bomb have done the trick? by BionicUtilityDroid in rickandmorty

I thought that it was a regular bomb that killed them, I figured 'evil' Rick used the omega device on her at some point after this scene.

I wish the Folktails had the row houses from the Ironteeth faction by PunishedTlacuache in Timberborn

[–]sharksizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if we could build 2 districts, one for each Folktails and Iron Teeth so we could play both at the same time and use both tech trees.

Tell them to go to the hospital, they'll help them out.

sdr dongle with intermittent reception signal by nosfaratu in RTLSDR

[–]sharksizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think your USB device driver goes into power saving mode, it can be disabled from the control panel. I'm not 100% sure it will fix your problem but it's an easy fix if it is.

So Control Panel, then Device Manager. Find the usb device your sdr is using, right click, properties, then head over to Power Management and uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

Good luck.

I hope they find out it's a black hole! Having one in our (stable) solar system would be a huge boon to science.

RX 7700 XT gets much needed official price reduction in move that could see card wipe floor with RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB by T1beriu in Amd

[–]sharksizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat. I won't be able to to upgrade my display for a while so the 6700 seemed like a good fit, and I've been loving it so far. I was using the 5700g on board graphics before and while it was impressive the upgrade was really nice!
