That's the thing, i don't sweat (or rather notice I'm sweating) unless I use deodorant/antiperspirant. I have no need or desire to change my habits. Was mostly just curious if I was the only one

X11, because I haven't figured out how to get Wayland to work with my Nvidia 1070. One day I'll put in the effort, or finally upgrade my card. But for now it's fine

It basically is. AFAIK, there's no browser based way for steam chat, Google messages, or snapchat. I'm sure there are others too.

The biggest advantage I can think of is notification integration. The 'tabs' do give notification counts. You can minimize to the system tray so it doesn't have to be open. It would be seperate from your web browser, so if you have 30 tabs open like I do it'll be less cluttered. But it'll send notifications to the desktop with snippets of the message, like a popup on your phone. Also, even if you clear all your cookies/browser history etc., since it's seperate from the browser, you don't have to worry about logging in again.

Will check that out

Here's something I find interesting.

Firstly, the definition from Wikipedia: Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material (the fuel) in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.

For all you bad cooks out there, the reason you can't burn water when you're cooking is because water is already fully oxidized. Water is also often one of those reaction products the definition talks about.

I other words, you can't burn water because it's already burnt.

Here's the thing with electricity: it's invisible.

If you're using a power saw, you can see the blade. You can see other cars (obviously there's blind spots). You can see a burning flame on your stove, or maybe hear/smell the gas.

You may have a box and know that there's electricity inside, but you have no idea if it's wired correctly. You have no idea if the breaker is shut, or if there's batteries inside. We've engineered a lot of controls to keep things safe like LEDs to show it's on and ground wires on all the metal bits (thank you underwriter laboratories). But all of those can fail and you can still get shocked because electricity is essentially invisible and requires tools (multimeter) to inform you that it's dead.

None of your senses will let you know if something with electricity is safe. It's a gamble every single time you touch something electrical. You can be seriously hurt with voltages as low as 30v, assuming worst case conditions like you just finished swimming in the ocean.

Using electrical equipment is like walking through a construction site blindfolded while someone yells directions at you from afar.

I'm reading the frugal wizards handbook for surviving medieval England.

It's a part of Brandon Sanderson's kickstarter project.

I guess it's a scifi/fantasy.

I'm only a few chapters in so far, but I would reccomend it. Brandon always writes good books and this was born out of writing a private novel to his wife during covid.

He wrote four books actually during that time and the first was Tress of the emerald sea. I finished that one earlier this week and it was amazing. Highly recommend. It's a classic fantasy trope with a good twist. If you can get a copy, you should.

Without a paddle. I haven't seen it in a few years but I remember just absolutely cracking up over it.

On the first day Lemmy said "hey guys, how do I not poop for 3 days". And there was poop memes.

On the second day, Lemmy created bean memes. It was also good.

On the third day, Lemmy created reposts that aren't technically reposts. It too was good.

Lmao. I uninstalled my apps before ei went to bed last night to specifically prevent that haha
