Do you have a vasectomy? Why or why not? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I had issues with my epididymis being painful years ago.

One of the reasons km not sure about vasectomy.

Is epididymis issues a common side. Feel like I'm playing with fire if I have had issues before doing anything that might make those issues worse.

What's the most futuristic piece of tech you can buy for under $100? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There was a TV show. Stephen Fry 100 greatest gadgets.

For 1 he told a story about how some guy was talking to a largely uncontacted tribe and they were really interested in their tech.

So he knew they would have a supply drop and took them out to see the plane for the first time ever. The tribe was remarkable unimpressed with the sight.

The guy asked what was up and they came back with the reply "You can make fire from your fingertips. Of course you can fly"

He named the lighter the number 1 gadget.

No Japan is a monoculture, people move to the cities.

UK is multicultural, people move out of the cities.

I think that will be a waste.

Like if your household usage on average is 100% you might go on holiday and hit 0%. You might have a week where friends come over and you use 200% so you need 200% storage for those edge cases. But as a whole your neighbourhood will use closer to 100% all the time and doesn't need that extra storage.

So individual is a lot less efficient than grid. Same applies to production.

If the grid is fucked and doesn't work probably it might be better, but that says more about people controlling the grid fucking up more than it being inferior.

These people can get fucked. Everyone can get fucked. We don't need new ideas we need old ones.

We need the market to be able to react. Being able to build on land, fuck the NIMBYs. And being able to connect to the grid quickly, there is different ways to sort this but it comes from government intervention.

Then if you want more progress it's externalities. Tax fossil fuels and use the same money to subsidise renewables and batteries, and grid upgrades.

Or another possibility is mandate shutdowns based on a percentage over time (this will work better for EVs I think than than utility power. "Oh you want tariff on Chinese cars. Well fine you will have that for 10 years and in return 100% of your sales need to be evs in 10 years and to get you moving in 5 years its 25%, 6 40%, 7 55%, 8 70%, 9 75%.")

It's getting so tiring now that they have evidence of what works and instead just talk about how the worlds going to be different in 2050. Start building some fucking grid upgrades then. You know it is going to take 10 years tondo anything meaningful, you know you are 10 years behind, you know if you build it they will come.

Is it possible to learn this power? in c/[email protected]

If you receding or going bald. Minoxidil and finasteride will help slow things down or even help with regrowth if you lucky.

Minoxidil is topical (usually) and finasteride is a pill. You go on fin when you have a hair transplant so if you going down that route you might as well try fin first.

I bet every actor is on fin.

"Quantum dot technology has been in TVs for years, so why isn’t it already in solar panels? Well, there are a few challenges. If we can engineer around these challenges, then these little devices could have a BIG impact - breaking the limits of our current solar panels, and ushering in a new and radically more efficient age of solar energy."

How do I get spell correction for Android? [Solved] (lemm.ee)

I suck at spelling and would like to know a word I have typed is wrong or not. Ideally with a red underline.

I really struggle looking at text I have written and seeing the mistakes. I have tried Samsung, openboard, gboard. None seem to fix the issue.

I'm willing to download anything as long as it's not a privacy concern. Is there any way to get what I want.

I have a Samsung 22+ if that makes a difference
