The sun is putting out roughly 1kW/m^2, so for every square meter of your roof you cover, you’re keeping out 1kW of heat (obviously not strict math here). You can decide if you are more concerned about looking crazy or suffering in heat. Emergency blankets, space blankets, mylar(they’re actually polyester) blankets, are cheap.

Loved that. I think spongebob got the idea from them and made it work so well. I miss old animation, real art and soul.
Lol, yeah I could’ve just looked it up but that shows me. I’m not from there. I love those cherries, I ate like 10lbs because they won’t let you into Canada with them. The border guards were like yeah I get it at first but then it probably got to a concerning level.
I’m nomadic but mainly stay in the rockies. There are strawberries in higher altitudes like >9k ft, but always tiny and grazed by the deer and other wild life. But I’ve been to the PNW when there are ripe blueberries, reneir(?) white cherries, blackberries, raspberries, every one of those types, then others like huckleberry I think, different style fruiting with round red berries. There’s just food everywhere and it blows my mind. If I lived in a place like that I could forage a years worth of berry jam just on a daily stroll through the woods.
I’ve only been to places like the pnw when the berries are ripe a few times in my life. I’ve always wanted to go for like a month and just live off the berries that just grow everywhere. That’s such a unusual thing for me to see and its amazing.
This is why I’m drinking vodka at 7am.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Tokenpocalypse Is Here: Companies Are Scrambling To Stop Spending So Much on AI | Leaked audio from Accenture says a big source of AI token ‘chewing’ is people just converting PDFs to presentatio…English
0·8 days agoEver since LLMs where provided free to the public, I’ve been pen testing them. Not intentionally, I just like tech and have wanted to explore them. After getting all the info they’re designed not to provide(which is so fucking easy, even on the most recent models that have corporate PC baked in to the core can’t do shit) I turned to token burning. I could easily get 1M/24hr, but they’ve brought that cost down to like $0.10 so its not doing much anymore. I think I saw a model specific script that’s doing 52k/min.
Point is it takes a day of coding and a shit PC to just sit there burning money directly out of their budget. It wouldnt take that many people committed to doing this to make AI less feasible.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We are currently witnessing the rise of a new 'Digital Amish' i.e people who refuse to interact with any form of technology made after 2021.
0·8 days agoI was just thinking about how this is likely my life going forward. The last tech I bought was a first round preorder steamdeck which was a lot longer ago than I want to think about. If I need a phone I buy 5 year old refurb flagships instead of the overpriced disposable “budget” slop they make these days. New hardware is now a luxury item for the petite bourgeois so they can make slop to satiate the poor. AI has sucked up both more money and physical resources than it would have taken to globally eliminate poverty.
No thank you. I’d rather live off grid in the woods with some solar panels so I can emulate every game from the last 40 years. More than a lifetime of games. I don’t need anything new.
Mind if I can come inside and I can tell you?

0·12 days agoI’ve never actually finished it. I’ve gotten to what I think is almost the end, I’ve done every task and mission and everything else, all that’s left is just driving around or finishing the game, and I don’t want it to end and restart.
You’re supposed to have a diverse diet. Mac and cheese, broccoli, a pork chop, some fruit. Its so weird that people keep narrowing their diet, globally. We’re monkeys that are supposed to be eating many different things.
He doesn’t know shit about real estate. He only knows how to grift and con, real estate is just one of the many ways he’s been doing that. There are two things going on in trumps head, who can he scam and how, and then teenage girls nipples.

News@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione's lawyers reverse course, say they won't pursue a psychiatric defense
0·14 days agoA psychiatric defense is an affirmative defense. There’s lots of affirmative defenses for different reasons, but the main point of an affirmative defense is that you’re saying you did do it, but aren’t guilty because of X. Its essentially pleading guilty. The prosecutors job is then not to prove you did it, but that you aren’t crazy/acting in self defense/were entrapped, etc. The prosecutor was probably sitting happy not doing much thinking it’ll be an easy case to prove the person was of sound mind. Now they have to go back to rebuilding the case from the evidence that was legally submitted. Prove where he was at what time for weeks leading up to it, where he got everything, where he went after and how. It’s a shit load of work.
But Luigi was at my buddies house in Utah when it happened so there’s no way he could have done it. They need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he wasn’t there.
I wonder if native Americans saw maize and were like “I bet we can turn that into a banana”.
Its steel, and any steel with bad stuff will pass through you before they rust out.
Take a piece of paper and a sharpie or permanent marker. Use the edge of the paper to cover most of the blade and leave the damage part exposed. This will define the new profile. It can go right up to the damage but that does need to be removed. Whether you make the tip quite curved or take it back to try and keep it as straight as possible is up to you.
Now that you have what needs to go marked use a belt sander and hold it long ways and remove everything that you marked. Dunk it in water often to try and keep the temper.
After that you can mark and scribe the new bevel, or you can just wing it. Can probably take the edge down to like 0.5mm with a belt sander than switch back to stones.
It’ll be a different knife, better or worse who knows until you use it.
I genuinely can’t comprehend the level of stress you hold at all times toward everyone. I hope you can heal one day.
Dude, chill. I worn two real n95s to try and cover my beard but there’s no debate about how much air was just going through my beard instead of the masks. I got multiple vaccines so I have antibodies. But unless I was 100% asymptomatic, I never got covid. I am an outlier. I live off grid. I am genuinely a hermit so its not some medical mystery as to why I never got covid. I could also have some immunity because my parents never got it either. Who knows. I just made a comment about having a beard. Calm down.






Canta, can get rid so much slop right off the device without a laptop and adb. Then you can get rid of slop they slip in with updates.
