That’s one thing I love about the Lemmy community compared to Reddit. I was frequently downvoted to oblivion when asking simple questions, usually just asking for clarification, so I wouldn’t get an answer. That hasn’t happened to me once on Lemmy.
They’re me too. Hello, us!
I’ve had it happen to me, unintentionally. I worked in a retail store with a helium tank for inflating balloons. We thought it was the height of comedy to take a breath of helium when we did our overhead announcements. I decided to make a long announcement, so I exhaled as much as possible and took a deep breath of helium. The next thing I remember, I’m on the ground, my head hurts, and people are asking me if I’m okay. Apparently I made it about three steps before collapsing. I have no recollection of walking or passing out.
CrossCode was SO good! It’s a great game and I’m always thrilled when I find others that played it.
Did you know its studio, Radical Fish, has another game coming?
I think now is a great time to separate pride events from these corporate scum. They never have been and will never be allies, just opportunists who would just as willingly burn parades to the ground if it maximizes profit. The capitalist machine will never be your friend.
Why would you do that to this poor man? No one deserves to be saddled with Elon.
I’d take the other half and the detained immigrants - for free! Then I’d hire them all immigration lawyers and split up what’s left.
I’m sorry, but that’s just word salad - it doesn’t actually make sense. Even if it did, it would still be easily accounted for with control tissue.
Administrator of environmental protection agency announces agency no longer protecting environment, will now be simply referred to as the environmental agency.
I’m a microbiologist but my grad school work, research, and coursework was very chemistry heavy. There are no “probably does somethings” of significance here: the chemistry of plastic generation is extremely well researched.
Plastic is made of polymerized hydrocarbons, linked up identical tiny units of carbon strands called monomers. Polymerization, the linkage of the monomers into a polymer, requires the use of a catalyst. This is often done with increased heat and pressure to increase the speed of polymerization. Maximum temperatures are around 350°C for certain plastics but are more commonly 140-160°C as higher temperatures can cause the material to break down. Once the desired size of linkage is created, the polymer is capped to keep it from growing further.
Polymerized hydrocarbons degrade, not further polymerize somehow, at high temperatures like 600° C. Saying there’s some mysterious, high-heat-driven polymerization is like saying burning wood, which is largely a polymer of glucose called cellulose, somehow creates more cellulose as it burns. The burning is due to the release of the energy contained in the bonds in the wood as they break down and react with oxygen.
Even if the process DID somehow create some plastic, a given mass of brain tissue would be expected to create predictable amounts of this mystery polymer, giving a background measurement that can be subtracted. Again, though, we know how this all works so it’s not really a concern.

Don’t you unplug it and plug it back in again?
My partner just did the SAME operation on our Shork vacuum cleaner due to steadily declining performance. The ultimate diagnosis is the brush head has lost its brushes. They don’t sell a replacement, but they do sell an entire power head replacement for $99. Fuck these guys, we’ll never buy a Shark again.
The same happened to my grandfather. I’ll absolutely off myself if I ever get diagnosed.
I test drove one because I had to know. It was awful. I’ve driven dozens of different vehicles and it by far is the worst I’ve ever driven. It’s just stupid. Everything about it is stupid.
It also felt satisfying to cost Tesla like $10 in electricity and wear and tear.
They couldn’t without asking questions. That’s on me, I lost my cool a bit. I’m getting tired of people like them who are happy to ask others to throw their lives away, people they neither know nor care anything about, but won’t do the same themselves.
They’re just looking for people to blame for issues they feel they can’t control, and my mistake is interacting with them at all.
Another brave keyboard warrior advocating a disabled guy assassinate one of the most heavily guarded politicians in the world. I’m assuming you’re able bodied, what’s your excuse for not doing it?
Sure, I’ll singlehandedly control the US population as soon as someone tells me how to do it.
It’s all “State’s rights” with fascists until it’s more useful just to ignore and override them. You cannot trust what a fascist says, only what they do.
