All I have ever seen is a single sentence on the login screen promoting MS products. Do none of you still use Windows? Are you saying stuff like this based on memes?

Oh. My. Fuck. Me.

The image shows a man and a girl walking on a path in a wooded area. The foreground is covered in fallen leaves and pine straw. In the background, there is a wooden structure that appears to be some sort of storage shed or lean-to. A fire pit is visible to the left. The trees are dense and the lighting suggests it’s daytime. There appears to be a small animal or bird under the wooden structure.

The man appears to be middle-aged, Caucasian, with a casual style. He appears to be wearing camouflage clothing and jeans, suggesting an outdoorsy lifestyle. He is carrying a water bottle. The girl is young, likely elementary school-aged, wearing a pink shirt and shorts. She looks somewhat pensive. They both appear to be of average economic means and are engaging in a simple outdoor walk. The picture was taken at 2:44:22 AM on February 1st, 2020, with a Bushnell camera. There’s also an unidentifiable object hanging from a tree branch in the background.

The image’s resolution is somewhat low, indicative of a security camera, making the details somewhat blurry. The lighting is not uniform, with patches of sunlight and shadow. There is a subtle difference in the ground texture between the path and the surrounding areas. The girl appears to have a slightly concerned expression on her face. The wood used in the construction of the shelter seems weathered and may be indicative of its age and prolonged exposure to the environment.

Mostly spot on except the date because I never set the trail cam. Also, no animal under the firewood shed and the water bottle is a Keystone in a cozie. Cannot believe it picked up the ground difference in the trail and the edge of it.

Seen some math on the mountains of salt we would have to move. Very discouraging for desalinization and/or getting hydrogen that way.

They were simply following the classic trilogy arc:

1. Plucky heroes score on the big baddies against overwhelming odds.

2. Baddies hand our heroes their ass on a platter. Hope is all but gone.

3. Heroes come back bigger and tougher, win the whole game by the end.

My take is that he was young and idealistic and became cynical with age after a decade or so in the smuggling business.

LOL, been there done that. The tile floor was better than the steel bench because I could get in that position. Didn’t know there was a word for that!

My story starts the same, except I woke on the couch, butt naked, her fully dressed and her family milling around making breakfast. They were very nice people!

Rode my motorcycle to work on a Saturday to check in on my training class who had just hit the call center floor.

“Where you been shalafi?”

“Uh, it’s a story…”

The energy you’re reading is non-ionizing, can’t cause cancer.

If an energy source is high enough frequency, and strong enough, it can knock electrons out of their orbit, creating ions. Hence the name. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can knock your DNA around, cause cancer. Radio waves simply cannot. Get the idea?

Nothing coming out of a laptop is energetic enough to even begin stripping electrons from the atoms in your cells.

I could probably tell a little more if you can say how and what “energy” you’re measuring.

Forgot about the donation angle! I’m signed up for organ donation, need to get that more clear in my will, but whole-body donation would be great.

Worst case, med students can have a go, see how bones heal, stuff like that.

This is not that discussion, even remotely. Try to stay on topic.

Because lemmy is a bunch of teenagers screaming, “NOOOO!”, through clenched teeth, like my 9-yo.

Ah, who am I kidding? Vote up for likes, down for hates! This way we can have civil, adult conversations.

“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

― Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

Try $20-$30. I do this for a living.

While we’re throwing around our favorite TED talks, here’s the meat of my favorite in animated form.

Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

Looking back over my jobs, hobbies, life in general, yeah, this hits hard. And yes, they found some surprising results.

EDIT: I was wrong. Not a TED talk. Watch it anyway and learn!

Learned about TSA eBay sales on reddit a few years ago. Bought a 50-pack of Swiss Army knives to restore for office stocking stuffers. Went from there.

By virtue of you actually knowing what a firewall is, and participating in the conversation, on this platform, you are ahead of 99 out of 100 people.

That is an excellent write up! Well done OP!

Y’all missing the whole point here.

If an area requires covering, it might as well produce some power. And cells on the ground aren’t as bad as they’re made out.

I have one laying flat in the yard powering a 12V water pump. Been there for 6-months, covered in pollen and dust, weeds growing over one side, grass cuttings on top, never cleaned, works fine. I have another on my shed roof at our camp. Same deal with the pollen and dust, works fine. But guess which one is easier to clean?

Cells don’t have to be pristine to produce power. And if you do want to clean them? The installation pictured looks easy to work with a garden hose and squeegee, couldn’t take 30 minutes. Use concrete instead? OK, now you have to power wash it. What a pain.
