Watts are part of the electrical properties along with volts and amps. Laptop chargers have the same watts and volts but more amps. 

This is incorrect, Watts (power) is the product of amps * volts. The formula is P = IV. Anything with the same power and voltage will have the same amps.

The volume of power consumed would be Watts * time and gets you to capacity and usage units like watt-hours.

Lol I believe it would be rapid uncontrolled oxidation

Exactly what I was thinking, I’m not sure of any example coming before the original Charlton Heston version.

Don’t have a name for the trope tho

Should be no hold sparred, they just hit each other, no holds

Yeah that’s terrible. I have an hour of stand-ups but that’s 4 teams, I’m not an IC on any of them.

Christmas is already after New Year’s in the current calendar year ;)

Hard to say China doesn’t do genocide when you consider the Uighurs and Tibet. I mean maybe you can have an academic debate over ethnic cleansing and genocide vs forced assimilation and population replacement but their hands and very far from clean on that spectrum.

Have you heard of the Uighurs or Tibet?

Funny I never had much Star Trek gaming experience but have recently gotten into gaming more and been a lifelong Trek fan (maybe not an official Trekkie tho). this game looks pretty interesting and I’m now just learning about it since I also don’t pay attention to the epic store!

Brian?!

I was gonna say this is a sad day, but that’s just nostalgia for a time that’s passed. I grew up reading and loving Popular Science, my dad always has a subscription and I would read it cover to cover usually the day it came in the mail. I let my own print subscription lapse years ago, tried a few different versions of digital magazines (anyone remember zinio?), but today it’s just websites like arstechnica and the verge that have become the focus.

I still value the articles I come across online but the print edition is just a warm memory at this point to me so I can’t expect them to keep a business going on that.

It may be a different technical skill than any of the hundreds of other ways to make art, but it still takes a human to conceive of a concept and skill to write a prompt that will generate the intended nuances and ideas.

Just because I can take a photo with one click on my phone doesn’t make it art any more than if I try withs a professional camera in manual mode. The art is in using the tools to create something new and beautiful in any medium.

Well I feel like I acquired both a new point of view and a chuckle with this one, so thank you Internet friend 😌

Observing and learning from the natural world is in no way dumb, it is extreme hubris to think we humans are so smart that we don’t have to listen to nature. Or that society gets to be somehow outside of nature. It is that kind of logic that got us global warming, obesity & diabetes epidemic, big pharma, and loss of traditional knowledge and wisdom. If I see a momma holding her cub by the nape of the neck my first thought isn’t going to be that I know better how to care for her young.

Nice, what do you think of the EDCPocketTools Mini CatClaw?

I grew up in the northeast and none of the schools had central air. It’s not hot enough before summer break to justify it. At least historically…

Today I Learned

Definitely good points made here and I agree, as much as this is a lamf moment, it is right on so many levels to advocate for her humane treatment.
