BOGO (Buy One, Get One [Free]) is a well-known term.

Which begs the question why not magnets at the top of the building to help pull the electricity up?

Guess it depends on the height, but yeah. Otherwise, we manage to pump a town’s worth of water to the top of a tower well enough. From there, gravity can do the rest.

But there’s probably a point where cost for that vs height becomes prohibitive.

If the costs of engineering a tower is more than just buying more land, then why build taller?

Figured it’d be something like that. Explains why they get built out in the middle of nowhere since land is cheap.

Tall data centers do exist in cities where land is expensive.

Probably a bit of “hiding in plain sight” that way, too. There are a few big datacenters relatively near me, and they’re massive compounds in the middle of even more massive corn fields. Kind of stick out like a sore thumb when you’re driving by.

Yeah, I don’t know about pre-installed with Android that aren’t ad platforms masquerading as consumer hardware. I’d never use one unless it was supported by LineageOS or something. My comment was more “roll your own” in nature.

That person is giving me “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!” vibes. lol.

In a public park, you can absolutely ask random people to leave your party area. Not the park, but the space you are using. Double so if you’ve gone through the official channels to reserve that section.

And that goes both ways: If someone is having an event and one inserts themselves where they’re clearly not invited, then that person very much has issues respecting others’ boundaries.

It all boils down to people respecting each other.

I’ll take your word for it, though I assume it is the case. Like I said…it’s just the internet doing what it does (for better or worse).

“As an American” (though speaking only for myself) when I see those, I don’t even go into them because my opinion wasn’t solicited. I also don’t throw out my opinions in non-American news/politics communities for the same reason. Also, I wish that was a two-way street.

FWIW that community is just inspired by something that already exists outside of social media. The community owner kept [email protected] up since it’s pretty active, but the new official/recommended one for dull stuff is [email protected] . They explicitly wanted it to be more inclusive (not that DMC was only restricted to men posting).

It’s just…the internet I guess?

Go into the various “Ask” communities, and you’ll see things like this constantly:

Women of Lemmy, what’s something that…?

As a man, I …

Americans of Lemmy, what is your favorite…?

As a European, I…

Definitely mildly infuriating when people just butt in when they’re explicitly not the target audience of the question. If I’m somehow doing that with this reply, lol, I apologetically appreciate the irony.

Maybe one of those HDMI “stick” PCs you can get? There’s x86 Android builds you can run or you can do like I did with my media PCs and boot into Openbox and just launch a fullscreen browser right to Jellyfin and control it from your phone. (My main setup uses Emby but should be able to do the same with JF).

I’ve actually got a portable Jellyfin server I take with me. Built on the OrangePi Zero 2W with a USB->NVMe acting as media storage (as well as the Jellyfin DB). It’s got several other services running as well as a second Wifi adapter so it can also act as a travel router.

For playback, I pretty much just use my laptop or phone but have thought about adding one of the “stick” PCs as a client for it.

I’ve always liked the “Go Away” door mat Slappy Squirrel had in Animaniacs. I’m legit surprised I don’t actually have one.

glorify the rich & exploitation/objectification of women for massive profits.

I get it. I almost feel like some of that was both lampshading the practice as well as exploiting it. Every time that would come up Maya would have commentary on it.

They also mention Trump several times.

Yeah, that made a modern-day rewatch kind of difficult. I intentionally skipped those parts. Having re-watched several old shows somewhat recently, sadly, the orange T-bag comes up quite a bit. Just is what it is (or was what it was?).

Also ignore my other comment. I accidentally hit submit before I had anything typed out lol.

deleted by creator

So true. And I’m confident it’s not just nostalgia making me think that.

Literally my first thought every time I see David Cross in any role (past or present).

Good memory!
