Breaking News: Fork found in kitchen

Today at approximately 1:27 PM one of our reporters stumbled upon a fork in the kitchen.

Upon closer investigation, the fork was found to contain remains of plant based structures.

It is still unclear as to why this fork was in the kitchen, but according to the experts this is groundbreaking progress in fork research.

Next up: Scientists at CERN say it is possible for water to wet things.

Lots of people recommended Zojirushi in this thread. Will definitely give it a try. Thanks

incredibly inconvenient

Imagine sitting in the corner near the plug with your weird resistive heater waiting for the water to get hot. You’d probably become the laughing stock of the whole campus pretty quickly

Also, things get pretty heavy when you have a 4 hour daily railway commute. There has been times when I didn’t take a bottle of water because it hurt my back

So I’ll just stick to carrying grounds and buying hot water. It costs practically nothing compared to my current habit of buying coffee which is a huge hole in my budget

It is pretty commonplace to sell hot water in my country?

Because bringing a heater with you is hard, the places which sell tea will also fill up your cup with hot water. For a fair price usually +5TL (~0.1 cent) more compared to bottled water of the same amount.

I can bring a heater and spend my university’s electricity for it but why would I so that when hot water is already very cheap.

edit: I just remembered my school’s water dispensers have a hot water tap. Students drain those very quickly though so I gotta go there the second my lecture ends

Well the body of the thermos does not radiate any heat.

It is the section near the cap. That section is just single layer metal which leaks a shit load of heat

I don’t, but I am pretty sure it doesn’t get cooled down by the inner walls as it stays too hot to drink for at least an hour.

Will check out your recommendation.

Yeah they do sell hot water.

Currently planning to pack a french press. We’ll see how it goes, but I still want the thermos.

Since I use Hoffman’s french press technique the only thing I do is to dump coffee in water and wait anyways. So I might cut the filter from a french press and put it inside a thermos. I could then get it set up at home and just add water™

Yeah probably. It’ll all get stale and burnt ig. Didn’t think about that much

Coffee outside is expensive and pretty bad though. I need to carry my own coffee to school but no idea on how to do it.

Drinking it at home is not very viable since I already wake up at 6am and don’t wanna add another 30 minutes to my morning routine

Counter point: Nikola Tesla was a gambling addict in university.

Won’t laptop manufacturers need to get CPU manufacturers to produce socketed mobile CPUs again?

I don’t think that would be very profitable. Spending lots of money negotiating with the CPU company just for a very small fraction of customers.

okay here me out:

Pipewire is one of the best pieces of software I used. It has a cool ass patchbay and unlike PulseAudio I’ve never had it crash on me. It is the best thing that happened to Linux audio

I was blown away when I connected my phone to my PC through Bluetooth and phone audio started playing through my PC. It just worked without me touching anything

I also really like how “Linux Studio Plugins” are standalone apps that you can run. I don’t produce music or anything but I still use stuff like equalizers and spectrum analyzers. It is insane how flexible the “each app has inputs and outputs you can hook together” architecture is.

PulseAudio probably also had some of these features but I never used those because pulse would fall apart every time I touched it. Pipewire doesn’t

Broken Linux audio is about to become old news

The buzzwords make my head hurt. Sounds like a copypasta

IT’S DIFFERENT M’KAY

I hate how Apple users feel the need to call their computer by the brand. It really makes me cringe.

It is called “a computer”

Maybe “PC”

“box” if you really have to flex that UNIX

They should treat their computers less like a sports car and more like a van

With the amount of deaths coal power causes, we are also feeding it present day people. Also applies to any other electricity consummation

Only if there was a alternative…

Capitalism kills.

👏if you want to censor something, don’t write it 👏

Writing is a tool for communication. Writing something implies your desire to communicate it.

This might land a little controversial but I’ll go one step further and say you should not censor racial/homophobic slurs if they are not being used for offense. For example:

“I hate my cop neighbor, I heard he called my niece a f***ot”

(I obviously censored it here because lemmy prob. has a filter for that shit.)

In this sentence, I am not attacking anyone and I am simply trying to communicate a bad act done by somebody else. The message of the sentence is not homophobic in any way and me censoring the nasty word definitely didn’t change anything about the message. People can still hear that word loud and clear.

So if you think including the word would be offensive for people, and think it’s not a crucial part of your message, simply don’t write it.

“I hate my cop neighbor, I heard he called my niece a homophobic slur”

There you go. You did not communicate the word f***ot and your audience did not receive it. A successful example of self censorship

I am 20. I hate algospeak so bad. But “ahh” kinda stuck in my tongue

“ahh” feels like the sound you’d make when you try to say “ass” quickly

I feel like “ass” and “ahh” conveys different feelings so I use them interchangably. But I still cringe a bit because “ahh” originated from algospeak

bell labs is pretty close to far beyond alien civilization technology though…
