I was considering, for a quick second, to move off of Lemmy for reasons. (It would be an ideological move and not worth a conversation, TBH.)

It's about where a person wants their account hosted, s'all. Also, I am not sure what degree of separation there is between Lemmy and PieFed. Like you said, we can see PieFed content but I don't know how much.

Alumina (aluminum oxide) is what you are extracting from aluminum ore and it's tough as fuck, which is why it's easier to dissolve the rest of the stuff around it first.

Oxygen is mainly that other "junk" you have to separate with electricity. While the smelters only run at 4.5 volts (per cell), they have to push about 300kA to get the stuff up to ~950°C which breaks its chemical bond.

You probably have never even touched pure aluminum before. Aluminum and oxygen react so quick, all we typically ever see and touch is a alumina shell.

I don't think it matters much if ee is shutting down.

Getting high off your own farts again?

Please tell us more about how war is a good thing, oh master of armchair politics.

Wishing war on anyone is just fucking vile. Go on, look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you wish that thousands of people should die needlessly.

Edit: To your edit, unpopular opinions should be upvoted. Fucking stupid ones should be destroyed.

Banned from /r/Movies for calling out Tom Cruise as a scientologist piece of shit and encouraging people to boycott his movies. It was on a Mission Impossible circle-jerk post, so it likely did ruffle some feathers.

(I got a 3 day ban for something dumber, but I consider the /r/Movies ban more brag worthy.)

I am coffee mug owner and I drink my coffee exactly the way I want it so it's as enjoyable as I need it to be. (It's usually black.)

Not being silently judged about my coffee makes it just that much more enjoyable, so thank you.

It's ok to shit in someone else's, just not yours.

Just got it.

It's tap and hold thumbnail with one finger -> use another finger to do a "zoom out" gesture on the screen.

It seems to happen only on image posts, and when you don't trigger a page reload or side menu open behind the opened preview.

(Also, it's still super rare to trigger the bug. I only just got it twice since I started responding to your comment.)

Edit: Reliable trigger:

Press and hold thumbnail -> use another finger open side menu -> click "All" or other menu choice -> release first finger.

But in the UK, is a crisp "crispy" or is "crisp" a derivative of another term or phrase?

That needs to be in the form of a question, right?

There is a caveat, but yes: By definition, 3D printed parts should not be considered food safe.

Single-use cookie cutters are generally OK if you don't use them multiple times a day every day.

There are probably minor chemical risks but it wouldn't be in high enough quantities to kill you. There isn't really anything inherently food unsafe with PLA, ABS or PETG.

Bacteria is a much bigger risk during reuse because you can't fully clean the prints between the layer lines and other surface defects. The plastic generally won't survive a proper sanitization process either.

What your own risk tolerance is for plastic additives is up to you. If you do print a cookie cutter, toss it after you are done.

HF tools are not designed for the long term, generally. If you need a tool to work at least once, for one job that you are never going to do again, HF is "good enough".

The rule of thumb is to never buy a tool there that could result in a gruesome death if it fails to protect your life, like jack stands. (Invest in quality safety equipment first if you get something like an angle grinder.)

Old 386 and 486 code was really easy. I also got lost around the Pentium era as well. At the time, it was getting really hacky to work through extended and expanded memory while also learning to work with 32bit registers.

At the time, correctly or not, I just felt I was learning to navigate a bunch of architecture bandaids and not anything that was going to be static for the next few years. I just kinda put it aside, TBH.

ASM is still useful for MCUs at times and developing that feels like the good ol days...

You can generally cross compile across architectures, but there can be instruction or build nuances that can cause hiccups. Also, you need to build everything against the target architecture as well, not just the kernel.

The layers are almost invisible with this tech. The custom adult novelty business will go crazy over this.

Damn. "First comment" theory is out. It's something though.

I have had this issue show up on my own comments as well. (Even with using the I function in Connect or not.)

Also underscores have been italics for years across many platforms. It's not always, but is generally. (Well, I have been using underscores as a pseudo-emphasis before markdown was even a thing.)

Edit: From a now deleted post, but you can see it in my history:

I have had this happen once on a comment post. (Also tried multiple edits to resolve, but it didn't work.)
