  • As soon as I saw the words “powered by the sun” in the synopsis, I knew what this was. I learned this during survival training, it’s a great way to turn piss (or any other undrinkable water) into clean water. And yeah, all you need is some plastic and a cup. Let the water evaporate (power of the sun) and collect the droplets in something. Had no idea that needed a science paper.

    Here’s the problem with desalination, tho: what do you do with the leftover super-brine? It’s pretty gnar stuff, like almost poison. Wide-scale desalination would produce tons of it every day. Most solutions i’ve heard are like “just dump it back in the ocean!” Which, yeah, how could that ever go wrong?

  • yeah i have a few of them and they all get extremely hot, plus they look ugly as hell. usually a super short cord so right where my mouse would be is a blazing hot ugly box with a bunch of cables and junk sticking out. and if you accidentally jiggle it or move the laptop too much the whole thing blanks out for a second interrupting work flow.

  • included in the group that lives paycheck-to-paycheck are plenty of people making six figures.

    what you’re also ignoring is stuff like time cost. for a certain person, the time spent to find and research a reliable alternative at a lower price point might be worth more than $10 or $20.

  • fuck people for not caring much about $10? i wouldn't even consider that being rich. do you consider everyone in the middle class as obscenely rich? the average person out of their teens and 20s can waste $10 without caring.

  • i have a couple Unity games that are close to shipping, i think i'll hold off on that and rewrite in Godot instead. I was already considering it since working with Godot is a thousand times more pleasant than Unity anyway.

  • anarchism is dope of course but we basically need to evolve as a society before it could happen. you can't really impose anarchism top-down like you can with statism. so i think a majority of people would have to want it first. and that's the hard part, because most people seem to be incapable of imagining living without masters.
