Never seen boomer humor referencing furries, grindr and trans people. Usually it’s about bosses, mondays and taxes

Bobo The Great@startrek.websiteto xkcd@lemmy.world•xkcd #3138: Dimensional Lumber Tape MeasureEnglish1·13 days agoIf you sell me a 2" by 4" board, you cut it 2"+the width of the sawblade, just like the metric boards are sold.
Also is a saw really 1/2" wide? That’s like 1.27cm, that’s wild.
If you really really cannot sell a true 2"x4" at the price of a 1.5" x3.5", just keep the same price and call it what it is.
It’s never really a good idea to share your home location online. At least nothing good can come out of it
Considering how expensive things are in the USA, I hope you got to a country with a lower cost of living. Well, also, no amount of money is worth your personal safety.
Bobo The Great@startrek.websiteto xkcd@lemmy.world•xkcd #3138: Dimensional Lumber Tape MeasureEnglish31·16 days agoThere is no sensible reason to sell something as a dimension before it’s ready to sell, a 2"x4" should be so when sold, not when curing, it takes nothing to cut oversize to accomodate for shrinkage, or to cure and cut later at the right dimension

Bobo The Great@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVsEnglish16·18 days agoNot only the content doesn’t exist yet, it’s just not practical. Even now 4k broadcasting is rare and 4k streaming is now a premium (and not always with a good bitstream, which matters a lot more) when once was offered as a cost-free future, imagine 8k that would roughly quadruple the amount of data required to transmit it (and transmit speee is not linear, 4x the speed would probably be at least 8x the cost).
And I seriously think noone except the nerdiest of nerds would notice a difference between 4k and 8k.
CGP grey did a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzzSao6ypE
Basically one car breaking too much will make the following brake even more and so on until one stops and there’s a jam. There is no clear reason like a road blockage or an accident, just compounding slow down.
Pure NaCl is cloudy white, so if it has any other color, there are other minerals mixed in the crystals, the NaCl is still there, there are also a buch of other atoms
If only the search function worked more than half of the time, just like it doesn’t work on 10

Bobo The Great@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Just a reminder that our planet is currently the coolest it will ever be in our, and our children's lifetimes.2·1 month agoWhere do you think today’s problems come from? Bad education makes a generation of ignorant, functionally illiterate, warmongering subjects.
The most annoying thing is it blasting “battery low” every 30 seconds when the battery gets below 20%, making them absolutely unusable. At least Sony lets out a ver short beep to let you know, and only twice
Bobo The Great@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it important/possible to separate the art from the artist?212·1 month agoYou can. I can enjoy Hitler’s paintings because they contains no nazism, even if a nazist mind produced them (you could argue that in his youth he was not yet a nazi, but that still doesn’t matter).
Heck, I’m going even further and say that even if a form of art posses some inheritely bad aspect, you can still separate it from other artistic characteristics.
Let’s say Hitler did a panting of a gas chamber killing people in a death camp, but is painted in such a skillfull and technically relevant way to be revolutionary in the art, then it’s ok if people like it (technically, not ideologically), it’s ok if it’s owned and hang in a museum, even if it depicts real, evil and needless suffering. You can approcciate something technically or artistically without having to embrace the ideals it represents. And it’s important to not cancel things just because bad people did it, because remembering is important.
As for modern bad artist, it’s more complicated because you might not want to financially support an artist who is a criminal/terrible person, but that still doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate their art.

Such an experiment would be highly unethical and of doubtful interest. After all, you already know sexuality develops without influence, is it useful to know if it develops differently under pressure? To do so it requires to possibly ruin people’s live, that’s why it’s not done.
Also, we already have the opposite experience: gays being convinced to be straight. As far as I know, it doesn’t really work and only creates suppressed emotions that ruins their sexuality.
10 or so years ago, Steam accepted payments in Bitcoin, for some reason they stopped, so they certinaly can do that but chose not to.
Also, 99% of people would not use it so wouldn’t change much.
Also just because you have fantasies at some point, doesn’t mean you will follow the and they won’t “go away” in the future. That’s just your brain trying to figure out the unclean mess that sexual orientation is.
Everyone feels emotions. Emotional intelligence means being capable of recognizing your own emotions (or other people’s) and not let them rule you, but to let you rule them, so they can help you when necessary and not damage you.
