Limonene can either smell like pine or oranges depending on what way the molecule is mirrored.
Damn, that's interesting. My first thought on hearing that was wondering if pine scented cleaning products are a thing because it's cheaper to synthesize limonene in both chiralities and then separate after the fact than it is to just synthesize the orange-smelling version.
It doesn't really hold up to much scrutiny, but it would be pretty damn cool if that fact explained both OP's question, as well as explained pine-scented cleaning products!
"The economy" is just a wildcard character for whichever of 6000 different metrics a low information voter wants to use to justify voting R.
Gas prices, inflation, wage growth, GDP, corporate profits, the Dow Jones..... one of them is sure to be better when the R was president and another one is sure to be worse when a D is president.
On top of what you just mentioned, rather than Trump surrounding himself with incompetent toadies and yes-men, I think a lot of smarter, more powerful, and more dangerous people have taken the last 4 years to worm their way into his ranks.
He's established himself as a useful idiot. During his first 4 years we saw the idiot part glaringly. It was scary and embarrassing, but we scraped by and experienced a few years of relatively boring politics. My big worry is that we'll see the useful part exploited much more effectively this time around.
Plex is definitely more straightforward to maintain remote access to your content (including library sharing with friends & family). So it may be worth keeping up for that aspect alone, even if you end up liking Jellyfin better.
You've only heard people complain about leaf blowers on lemmy? Seems like a very common annoyance in my general experience, and this is about the time of year when they come out in force, so it's not surprising people are going to complain.
Also, leaf blowers are pretty damn high on the noise/utility ratio. MFers in my neighborhood will be out there for half an hour blowing around grass clippings after mowing, when the wind is gusting 20mph.
I legit can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, because it perfectly encapsulates the weird way america is so blase about depictions of graphic, gleeful violence while simultaneously being horrified at seeing a nipple.on tv.
To add, there is something about those old 40s and 50s era technical films like you linked that is just so... I don't what exactly it is, but I find them fascinating and genuinely informative, even though they are explaining tech that is decades obsolete.
It's pretty awesome that they are still available 70+ years later in excellent quality!
On the chance you're not aware, they do make a pretty cool little matching numpad. It's not quite as nice as having a full size keyboard (I wish they docked together with magnets or something), but for just over a hundred bucks all in, it's a decent compromise.
That's honestly why they creep me out the most. Spiders will generally be chilling out in a corner somewhere you expect to see them, doing their own thing, and not moving much unless directly disturbed.
Most of my experiences with centipedes involves them darting out from under a baseboard at night and scaring the shit out of me when I'm only half awake. Then by the time I realize what it was, it's already scrambled across the floor to disappear under some other piece of furniture.
It's bit reductive to put it in terms of a binary choice between an average human driver and full AI driver. I'd argue it has to hit less pedestrians than a human driver with the full suite of driver assists currently available to be viable.
Self-driving is purely a convenience factor for personal vehicles and purely an economic factor for taxis and other commercial use. If a human driver assisted by all of the sensing and AI tools available is the safest option, that should be the de facto standard.
Isn’t Vance fully in bed with Musk, Thiel, Andreessen, and a cavalcade of similarly minded fash-brained techbros?
That's the G and the P in GOP. They are literally trying to rig the election with the help of a bunch of billionaire tech bros, but it's totally okay because "Democrats did it first"
And since the last election was over 1,000 news cycles ago, nobody will question whether that's actually what happened.
I mean, being strictly pedantic, the sperm has to come from somewhere. So I guess it depends on whether you consider an orgasm in a strange room with a small rack of nudie mags to be "sexual gratification".
Seconding Plex / Plexamp if the use case involves streaming remotely. Probably the easiest to get up and running for remote access.
I'm not sure about the capabilities of hosting on a Pi, but it should be straightforward to run a couple different apps in parallel to test and compare features (I'm currently doing exactly that with Plex and Jellyfin)
For $700 they could at least throw in a 4k Blu-ray player.
Then again, I ponied up extra for the disc version of the original ps5 for that exact reason, only to find out the media player software is a giant piece of garbage that was clearly given no effort. So I can't say I'm too surprised.
This one never fails to get a solid chuckle out of me!
The comedic timing of him freaking out about the bush just a few beats after the firework chaos does down is just.... chef's kiss
