I write about stuff. I probably won’t stop yapping so engage at your own risk. My current/latest hyper fixation: floral thigh highs

Isn’t it the first book in a series? I think I remember reading the whole series a while back
No idea why this is downvoted. Seems like a helpful suggestion
Thank you for pointing that out! I missed the context of the survival backpack and now it makes more sense. When you view this as more of a ‘what if’ for a somewhat (hopefully) fictional situation this becomes a fun challenge of creating PCBs from limited resources. I’m wondering how I might try to build a PCB under such circumstances now. I’m still not a fan of their ‘urban mining’ though. If anything I believe there would be better sources for silver in a disaster/post-apocalypse.
Idk, this one is weird to me. I agree that micro electronics production is not conflict free and appreciate a search for alternatives, but clay? From an engineering perspective this isn’t just a bad material for PCBs, it’s neigh impossible to use. How would that affect device longevity, or recyclability? Their production process is quite failure prone as they mention. Not to mention how their design is easily magnitudes larger than a comparable laminated fiber PCB. Also urban-mined is a needlessly opaque buzzword imo. They mean recycled, right? Just say so, no need for flourishes. Emphasizing that the clay is sourced from a wild forest and burned over a bonfire is meant to feel sustainable via association. There is nothing environmentally conscious about these inefficient methods and it makes this project appear amateurish. Nothing wrong with amateur attempts to help the problem, but somehow I get the feeling no one bothered to ask a PCB fab worker or repair technician along the way. More sustainable PCBs start with open source documentation and freely available replacement parts, not forest clay. Full disclosure, I read the description text on the site and (only) skimmed through the video. Feel free to correct me if I misrepresented anything.
You’ve heard of Yugoslavia, now get ready for Yugoslavia 2 - electric boogaloo! Now with even more ethniceties under one flag, what could go wrong?
A hero of science! We thank you!

Graphene OS only works on Pixel Phones. They’re really the gold standard. Pick one from the supported list on the graphene os website that suits your needs.
Well then why not say that then? I could follow the rest of the screenshot conversation but that part confused me. Anyone should be able to call out homophobia and gatekeeping the right to such critique hardly benefits any oppressed groups. And I think we probably agree on that.
Your statement likely made more sense in context, but that’s missing in the screenshot. Generalizations like this are wrong and easy enough to avoid.
Token German chiming in
You got most of it quite right, except the ending. It’s -erle, or really just -le (depending on where you split the word). The suffix is used to change a word to sound smaller, cute, playful and generally less serious. It also has a southern accent/sound to me, but take that with a pinch of salt. Not sure if there is an english comparison. Its similar to another german suffix: -chen
Time to steal both their looks, brb
After a year of unemployment one may have their eyes opened to how truly awful the modern working conditions and hours are. They may even pick up a hobby, make non work friends and God forbid enjoy life outside of prepackaged holiday trips. In short, unemployment can be a mirror to unfair and insane employment conditions.
I’m much more concerned by “(excluding domestic violence)”
The original picture is obviously super cool, but of course the hand is just a hand. The caption says none of them are leaves, not all are insects.
Yeah, no idea why I felt the need to correct this
True, but then health impacts of normal meat (over-) consumption are a concern too. No idea if perhaps the unnaturally uniform lab meat has less diverse macro and micro nutrients, but then again, nobody knows (I suspect, prove me wrong otherwise). But yea, over all this wasn’t my biggest concern anyways so it hardly changes my outlook either way
I’d love to but can’t find them in a supermarket near me. I’ll keep looking
Well, the last time I checked in they were still relying on fetal bovine serum and cancer cell growth to make lab meat production work (look it up yourself tho). I mean on paper it seems like good option if animal suffering is your concern, but (long term) health impacts of cancer meat are still a mild concern ig. And also it’s exorbitantly expensive (citation needed) if you can even buy it and still requires loads of resources to produce. I’d much prefer a cheap alternative, not imitation, for cheap meat. It may be hard to replace a grilled stake (in flavor, texture and most of all people’s preference) but looking at cheap pink slices of processed goo I half way expect them to already be vegan, but like in a really bad way. I feel like meat alternatives should start where it’s easy and tackle ‘authentic’ meat a later time. In the meantime I’m way more concerned with ending special meat subsidies in favor of supporting resource efficient vegan alternatives. Make vegan food cheap and people will follow, no need for perfection. For the record I’m not (quite) a vegan and price and convince are like the only things holding me back so far.
Aww man, this is not the follow-up I was hoping for…
