I am honestly not sure if you’re joking or not

Neither is “loved” and “most subscribed to”

And xtremesystems.org :(

Ahh well see here, this checks out you see.

Trump said eat. We export the most bacon, but nobody talks about whether or not we eat much of the stuff.

For all those replying with “well yes, we already knew this”.

Yes, but now you have the numbers to back up the conclusions you’ve already drawn.

Of course food produced from plants will be environmentally better than those made from animals, but now, next time you see someone actually doubting that, you can rebuff them with numbers and science.

Ep 45 & 46: Xbox Underground

Ep 92: The Pirate Bay

Both are fantastic.

Steven Seagal fatly going around corners.

Noted!

Aaaand thats going on my To Listen list.

Kind of hungering for new podcasts right now, and this sounds like one I didn’t know I needed.

Thanks!

Well written.

I think an important concept to introduce is Pulse Width Modulation, or PWM for short.

Normal AC Power coming out of wall looks like a sine wave, in that it smoothly cycles between +110/240V and -110/240V. This means that 50% of the time the voltage is positive and 50% of the time the voltage is negative.

PWM usually deals with signals which are either entirely on or off, with no transiton between them. This way, you can vary the amount of “power” delivered by varying how much of the time the signal is on and how much of the time it’s off.

Dimmers usually modify the sine way in a way that tries to accomplish the same thing, by chopping up the signal to make the effective “on” time be shorter than 50%.

With non-dimmable LEDs, this messes with the AC to DC circuitry in the lamp in the way slazer2au says, because the lamp doesn’t retain enough power between two on-cycles to stay on.

I’m gonna need a link for this.

I’m having a shitty morning and this sounds like just the thing to cheer me up.

Agree, with arguments: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/apr/27/bulldoze-the-business-school

Arm is worth 5.3bn USD and employs just over 8000 people. Intel is worth just over 100bn USD and employs 124,000 people.

Nvidia is worth 42bn USD and employs 30,000 people.

That makes Intel over twice as valuable as Nvidia with over four times as many employees.

I definitely think that Harris has a better chance than Biden, but I agree. The current surge in optimistic articles about Harris feels like it’s riding a wave of elation following Biden’s withdrawal.

People want to be reaffirmed in their belief in Harris, these articles feed that need.

Erdogan is a whole new level of grifter.

Actually, I’d love to hear from anybody younger than 30. Does this article make sense to you at all?

It is. I still wish it “Politics” would default to WorldPolitics" and USPolitics was it’s own thing, instead of the other version where Politics and News is US stuff and the general topics need the “World” prefix.

No.

They’re slowing creeping in here in Denmark.

There is one around the corner from where I live. It doesn’t display anything but time and temperature (yet), but every time I walk past I secretly hope they’ve fired up the rave machine.
