I've only responded to you twice. Once to tell you that a biased sample set provides garbage data, and again to tell you I wouldn't be arguing with someone who didn't understand the core concepts of the conversation.

The vibes thing is quite the projection, though.

That wouldn't be super out of place in India.

Is that counting relatives?

Nah, I'm not going to argue science and statistics with someone who clearly understands neither.

If your sample is heavily biased, then the data from it is worthless.

Have they actually honored any ceasefire they've agreed to yet?

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would imagine it's based on social security numbers.

It's supposed to help with littering, not recycling. And I've never once seen a water bottle company advertise an attached lid as some sort of ground breaking benefit for the environment.

It's the difference between people who buy them just to show off, and those who buy them to have fun with them.

Because it's state sanctioned.

Doesn't the computer science industry as well?

Yes, that's the point. Everything this administration does is intended to hurt someone.

 

It had been 30 days, so I was in the clear

 

My condensate drain line is clogged, and there's nowhere for me to access it to clear it out without seemingly removing the evaporator coil (which I'm not doing). The drain does go into a pump.

My main concern is the u-bend is at the top of the drain line, but my understanding from plumbing is that it should be at the bottom to let gravity help with moving water through the trap.

My thought was to use clear corrugated tubing from the drain pan to about a foot above the pump, then adding the bend, then a tee right after with a threaded plug that I can remove to snake the line if needed. I just wanted a sanity check before I started cutting. I can definitely ditch the clear tubing, I just thought it would help identify a clog location in the future.

 

I was installing a TP-link HS210 3-way smart switch in my dinning room. On the side with the mains power I do have a neutral wire, but on the other switch I have no neutral wire from the wall (for that breaker). I do have a switch that's on the kitchen breaker right next to it, though, and that has a neutral and ground.

In my breaker box, both the neutral and grounds appear to be on the same row of lugs.

Running the neutral wire from the switch to the ground works, and I'm thinking it's because it's all going to the same place. This specific switch didn't explicitly say to do this, but other switches I've installed did.

Now, I could run the switch's neutral to the neutral on the kitchen circuit. I didn't at first because I had the other switch wired wrong, so I thought it was the no neutral switch causing issues.

 

This previous Saturday, I decided to try out my new battery powered 8" mini chainsaw. I was very stupid, and ended up holding a branch that was too small to stabilize it so it could cut it off. Of course, the saw bounced and hit the hand holding the branch.

I got two 1-2mm deep chunks taken out of my index finger knuckle, and a deep flap cut into my thumb. The weirdest thing was that it really didn't hurt; I was just annoyed that blood was everywhere.

Here I am nearly 4 days out, and my thumb is almost completely healed, and the deepest cut on my knuckle is only like 2 days from being completely healed over. The only part of the whole process that hurt was putting pressure on everything immediately after cleaning it, and putting the liquid bandage on my knuckle (it's acetone based).

I'm actually slightly concerned about my pain threshold, because I cut open my shin on a server rail yesterday and it really didn't hurt either.

 

Hello all, I plan to use my Panasonic LUMIX G85 (micro 4/3) with a 3D scanner setup. This will be fairly close photography, with the max object size being in the 24in(61cm) range.

I have a basic telephoto and nifty fifty, but wasn't sure if there was something better suited for my purpose.

If it makes any difference, I was planning on using a vertical line laser in a black box to take the pictures. I'm assuming there's a filter that can help.

I know this question requires rather specialized knowledge, but if anyone has that knowledge, it's Lemmy.

 

I'm guessing the answer is leverage, but I have no clue.
