  • Ah is a measure of Coulombs or charge (A × h = C/s × hr × 3600s/hr = C). Wh is a measure of Joules or energy (W × h = J/s × hr × 3600s/hr = J).

    As an electrical engineer, personally Joules would make sense in an idealistic way to describe how much energy batteries store because that's what they do, but the whole Ah/Wh framework simplifies calculations and makes it so you only really need to multiply, never divide.

    I never really understood the focus on Amps as your primary unit to describe load on a system. It seems like NASA used to describe things this way when designing rockets/spaceships/landers for outer space/Moon missions. I remember listening to a podcast where NASA would budget their systems in terms of Amps, where you only had so much overhead in Amps.

    Growing up as an EE in school and industry, Watts (and Volt-Amperes) is obviously the primary choice of metric, whether working in DC or AC.

    So yeah I agree with you lol

  • The great Reddit migration when 3rd party devs realized how much Reddit would charge them to use Reddit's API in order to serve information to their apps. RiF was my shit.

    I love Lemmy now though. Its federated nature, while abnormal and at times not the easiest to explain, has me hopeful for the cyberspace future that isn't fully dictated by corporations. Using Fdroid, getting over the hump from Chrome to Firefox, and now the prospects of switching entire OSs from Windows to Linux are within my visibility now, when before I was comfortable in my corporate bubble.

    Think the next thing I need to start taking strides on after Linux is privacy. I still keep my passwords locked under OneDrive Vault and a password protected OneNote. Should probably dump that and move over to keypass or some other password manager. I just don't want to have to pay for a service right now on a recurring basis unless I choose to to support the devs.

  • I have my own irrigation bulb and had to do this the other week when my earwax was basically blocking my ability to hear at all. Think I got soap or water in my eyes before that to cause the issue.

    I loved the superhuman hearing afterwards though, god haha

  • Someone can be democratically elected, yet then act to undermine those same democratic processes that got them there.

    Netanyahu continues his ruthless conquest against Palestinians and Lebanese despite how unpopular it is with Israelis. He knows that he won't get re-elected, and when he doesn't he'll have to face the consequences of his actions in international court.

    All you're doing with your comment is aiding and abetting a fascist, apartheid, genocidal regime. Get real.

  • Same. And sometimes if it's convenient, I'll keep my recyclables like paper, cans, and glass until I have access to a sink to clean then (glass, maybe cans) and can toss them in my recycling system at home.

    Fyi, make sure your recyclables are dry before dropping them off/having them picked up

  • Negative señor. The most important issue for voters this past election was the economy. People don't feel like anything has changed since 2020. So, if the current administration isn't helping, maybe a different one will.

    That sentiment is the reason why Kamala gained so much traction after Biden dropped out, and also the same reason why she lost that traction when she attached herself to Biden's administration or policies rather than breaking away.

    The Democrats have consistently failed to represent their base since Obama won in 2008. Hell, you could make the argument that they haven't represented their base since before Clinton.

    But sure let's keep blaming the voters for rejecting a party that doesn't represent them, and not holding the party accountable by continuing to vote them into power since our votes are a given as the Dems move right.

    Your stance is basically to shut voters up and let them take it up the ass, whether they want that or not.

    L take

  • Oh I agree. Republicans are the originators of all this shit. They are the cause for so much ill effects.

    But Democrats are supposed to be that counterbalance in a duopoly. They haven't lived up to that. They'd rather chase after evil instead of standing up for something good.

    I'm not sure what's worse. To use a historical example: are the Nazis worse, or are those who didn't speak up and fight back when they could have?

  • Right? Seems like even on Lemmy, a platform seen as progressive compared to the status quo, you'll still find Liberals that would rather point blame at their fellow class rather than holding their elected officials and their donors accountable.

  • Exactly. Democrats failed to end the genocide in Gaza because they didn't create a partisan line in the sand to separate the State's current bipartisan stance towards Israel.

    Most Americans support ending the way in Gaza. Kamala should have run with this right out of the gate, breaking away from Biden and cutting any strings she has with him. The reason why Americans and donors pressured Biden to drop out is the same reason why Kamala lost. Both represented more of the same, and that voters felt like the current administration wasn't hearing their voices.

    So out of spite or piss poor messaging on the Dems' side, people chose Trump instead.

    This is absolutely an issue with establishment Democrats. Don't get discouraged from sharing this idea in a post not having to do with Bernie Sanders or AOC. It's the truth.
