So I realize this is a shitpost but I've noticed that too and couldn't help but wonder why that is. My guess is that it's because bubble wrap is made to absorb and smooth out peak forces when things are bumped around. By letting the air out slowly the bubble wrap now more effectively does it's job even when it structurally fails.

Lol you know the moral of that story is the exact opposite. He ends up doing all the things so he can actually relax the next day. Anyway nice shitpost

We need to see the video he was making, you know, the one to hold the ICE agents accountable, the one they killed him for

And that, children, is why you double blind

So I was looking into the history of battery naming conventions. this is imo the absolute best thing about the internet, quickly finding information on very niche topics. I was really excited that somebody actually made a video about the exact weird question I had just asked myself and couldn't find out enough about on wikipedia! I was however quickly disappointed to realize that it's basically just shitty AI slop designed to play the youtube algorithm and generate watch time. at 1:24 the way the sentence is phrased is not only a dead giveaway, it's also detrimental to the understandability of the content, not that there is really any meaningful information being conveyed in this video beyond the immediately obvious. then at 3:01 the battery shown is so totally not an A battery!! that's an ignition dry cell, the precursor to the LR40, the thing is 15 cm tall and can hold 40 fucking amp-hours! just look at those huge fucking screw contacts on the top!!! that's where I realized what was going on. these guys are spreading worthless, misleading falsehoods, poisoning the well of information we call the internet, and at the very least they're parasites, leaching away our time on this earth just so they can make a couple of pennies worth of profit. it breaks my heart 💔

Hot-swappable battery meaning without turning off the device?! Lol I've never seen that 😉 I get what you're saying though, but from what I've seen the battery is replaceable! It's retained with a screw but that's not a deal breaker imo. Using a standardized form factor would have been even cooler, but I think that would've been very difficult for space reasons

[-] poddus@discuss.tchncs.de 61 points 6 months ago

Yeah. AA batteries suck though! I'd be happy if they used 14500 cells or something. but the form factor was probably the issue, the controller is a chonk in the middle already with the flat battery pack

I think the point being made was that the enzyme used to break down cellulose is only made by bacteria, whereas the enzymes used to break down carbs, fats, and proteins are produced by the pancreas. Digestion is complicated though, teeth and stomach acid are also digesting in a way so it's all an oversimplification

I haven't had a great experience with my fairphone 4. app/phone crashes, ghost touching, now they announced that they're skipping support for Android 14, technical support has also been rather unresponsive. to top it off, they are usually very late with their security patches and apparently their verified boot implementation is horrible, they use the aosp test keys (which are publicly available) to cryptographically sign their firmware, which completely negates the point of the thing. I guess that's on par with the software support in general...

so yeah, can't recommend the company as is unfortunately 😕

fun fact, the machinery used to make cereal and pet food is often exactly the same.

edit: for clarification, I don't mean they share a production line but the machines can be used to make either.

That headline is so stupid that I refuse to read the article

my grandfather (polish) was talking to my cousin's boyfriend at the time (german) in english. the poor guy was trying to make a good impression so he was really going the extra mile. it took about 10 minutes for them to realize one was talking about chess, and the other about jazz.
