clif@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your advices to cool homes without AC ?5·4 days agoThis may explain why I’m wearing a hoodie in the office in late June while most everybody else is comfortable or still hot.
But, I also do lots of outdoors stuff and acclimate to heat up to a point.
The center point of the pie chart, where the lines meet, is slightly off. It’s making my eye twitch.
clif@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•98 degrees upstairs, ac stopped working at 8am.English3·4 days agoThis was me on Sunday… And then also on Monday after replacing the cap and then realizing that the fan motor was janky (which might be what caused the cap to fail)
Reminds me of a similar phrase from reloaders: “if it seats it yeets”
If by AC you mean air conditioner, I just replaced mine with a 50+5uF dual cap @ 370/440 VAC
clif@lemmy.worldto Cast Iron@lemmy.world•Thrifted Griswald is contaminated with lead :(English211·7 days agoCan confirm. Though, I picked up a cheap steel pot from goodwill for this purpose … cast iron was too expensive for my lead melting needs ; )
clif@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the longest you've gone without a shower/bath. Why?1·8 days agoSame place for me I’m betting, but three weeks on a longer “choose your own adventure” route. We chose to hike most of every day and cover as much ground as possible instead of stopping at the more “comfortable” areas that had facilities.
I forget the exact distance but pretty sure it was over 225 miles.
clif@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capitalEnglish25·14 days agoPromise in one hand, shit in the other, let me know which one fills up first.
I’ve got family that is on their third pet raccoon. I’m not sure where the last two came from but the first was a baby when they got it. They cut down a tree that had a family of raccoons in it and that one survived so they just… Kept it.
It was very entertaining but could be an asshole when in heat.
O, and I worked with a lady that had one too. Apparently they can survive a massive opiate overdose because it ate an entire bottle of painkillers (oxys? Hydros? I forget) while she was at work one day. She said it was stiff like rigor mortis for about 36 hours then eventually just got up and continued on like nothing had happened.
This is awesome. Thank you
I literally confirmed a colonoscopy appointment 30 min ago and then see this on Lemmy.
What the hell?
I cut my teeth on Linux when red hat was trying to make things “user friendly” with control panel like guis but they consistently couldn’t do what I wanted so I had to learn the terminal anyway.
25+ years later, I’ll use a gui if it works and it’s easy, but I still have trust issues that I don’t have with a config file. You put shit in a config file, it’s going to do what you asked (right or wrong) or sigterm trying… And I appreciates that.
That said, I do mostly gui config on my daily driver these days. Servers however… No gui, no problem.

This is one of those things I’m unreasonably passionate about - probably because I work with computers and dates a lot. So passionate about that I’d post ISO8601 on a weed community… sorry.
clif@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issuesEnglish4·2 months agoAt least you didn’t have to worry about Ruin manipulating it.
… Sorry, I’ve been reading the Mistborn series and just finished “The Hero of Ages”
This is exactly the comment I opened this thread to find. Thank you.
clif@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.world•Great take on "Why don't more people use Linux?"English1·3 months agoNot at all. It’s more of “I’m used to windows, change is scary”
There are still some things that are win/mac only and if you’re heavily invested in them it can be hard to migrate to Linux based FOSS alternatives (or, VM/WINE/etc). But, most “normal” (non-geek) people aren’t keen on throwing away all of their experience on one specific application to learn a new, different, one… Regardless of feature parity.
I haven’t looked in several years, but noob friendly CAD is one example. I ended up using browser based ones since I couldn’t find an easy offline one. “Easy” is the key here - there are pretty great FOSS CAD suites, they just aren’t super friendly to stupid people (me).
Though, that may have changed, if you’ve got recommendations please let me know.
clif@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever2·3 months agoI appreciates that about you.
I don’t know if I’ve actually seen one of your posts, but thank you nonetheless.
Hey! You can’t say that on the internet! You have to say
fuck
