Wanted a nice goodbye for everyone. Best I got. Lemmy just ended up too toxic with poor features and content. Oh well.

We can make 30 liters of pure water with the fresnel lense from a junk projection TV just by putting two of them over a water tank...

MIT now

We designed a severely complicated ten stage solar collector despite our 20 previous publications about massively simple and cheap methods of doing the same thing that we said each time was revolutionary in water production/collection.

Congratulations MIT. Can we just build some of these instead of finding/funding more?

Apple 2 versions Snapdragon 4 versions

Apple Ram generation 5 Snapdragon ram generation 5+

Apple 4k 60 Snapdragon 4k120 8k30

Apple wifi 6 Bluetooth 5.3 Snapdragon wifi 7 Bluetooth 5.4

So basically you get newer standards without Apple.

Kind of reminds me of the 10$ Bluetooth earbuds from places like Goodwill having modern multi channel Bluetooth but airpods using an old version that required linking to each other.

Which is why you just use Mint Instead and get rid of all the ads and telemetry while using the same solutions.

They'll obviously die of poverty the first week. Anyone else want to suffer this badly? /s

Winter is upon us. Rubber and plastics get stiff and need to be handled carefully depending on weather.

Customers will break the air pumps basically daily by yanking/flinging the hoses around and then come in to bitch the free air pump isn't working.

Family clothes?

What was the amber alert supposed to say? If you see a 5 year old, call us?

Then they find the body right near home so they never even left to start with so the alert wouldn't help.

I've decided some of the strange results I get feel like they have stories. Maybe they do, maybe it's my mental health, shrug, thought about creating something like "A thousand words..." but I decided the sub I created for writing would do fine accepting AI images with descriptions or stories included.

Stuff like this: https://lemmy.world/post/7648529

Maybe everyone has a few things that might not be impressive but have a story, paragraph, anything behind them?

The article specifically says (in some cases) less than 48 hours.

Right in the middle where it says "media release with examples.

You'll have to strap magnets to the cat or use it's air vortex.

If you "attach" it then it's not falling anymore. It's just cat on a stick.

[-] Tarastie@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

Yes, no, sort of, er, let's just go down the list. Warning, this is probably morbid and disturbing.

At any random point either leg might just say, "nah I don't feel like it" and down I go.

Or maybe it feels like it but only a little so it won't move all the way or I'm limping.

Maybe today I can reach behind my back, or maybe I'm going to feel like I'm tearing an arm off just to finish using the bathroom.

Maybe I can stand up straight, or reach for something, maybe not.

Maybe if I try to lay comfortably I won't end up with limbs that won't quite settle all the way because the muscles don't want to relax.

Any muscle anywhere can decide it wants to start doing it's own little Morse code impersonation, including ones controlling things like vision, ear pressure, or random areas you don't really consciously control.

Maybe I can see clearly, maybe it's double vision, maybe one eye won't follow the other eye, maybe it's severe tunnel vision.

Maybe I can take a full breath, maybe the muscles over my ribs decided they want to cramp up if I take more than a small one.

Maybe I can hold onto something, and my hand will decide wether it wants to randomly open or just close itself up and have to be pried back open.

Maybe I feel mostly normal, or maybe someone is beating my head and multiple other areas with crowbars and ice picks while I go about my day.

Maybe I can eat something right now, or maybe one mini pretzel will trigger several hours of severe cramping and diarrhea.

Maybe when I blink an eyelid will get stuck in the down position.

Maybe I'll yawn and my tongue and jaw muscles will all cramp and lock.

Maybe an eye will have a muscle cramp that feels like a fish hook tearing the eye out of your skull while the eye points in a random direction.

Maybe when something touches my skin I'll feel like it's still there for minutes.

Maybe I know which way is up but mostly likely I don't have a clue.

Maybe a bit too much ambient noise starts causing severe headaches trying to sort out the stuff I need to hear.

Maybe I can talk well or maybe I take it easy and use small words that don't require much vocal, uh, dexterity?

Maybe I heard what you said but there's a 5-10 second delay before I actually know what the words mean.

Maybe I've forgotten how clocks work for a few seconds.

But mostly I work and move about slowly while random things twitch, glitch, ache, cramp, sting, stab...

And meanwhile I smile and look happy and give the kids a good day and lots of places to go so I can just sit for a bit and do some breathing and positive meditation until everyone's tucked into bed for the night.

Then I can relax on the recliner with a good strong drink and cry about whatever hurt today while I think about how nice not waking up tomorrow would be and worry about the kids needing me.

Then I get up the next day and do it all over again.

Whatever's finishing me off now is good enough. Maybe they'll even bother figuring out what it was afterword.

Fingers crossed I land on my head during one of the falls or my heart just glitches out like the rest of me. Maybe a good spasm on the way to work and I can just become a flaming pile of car wreck.

Be a lot better than suffocating during one of the breathing issues or just being stuck in one of the headache/fog days.

Edit for anyone that read the rest:

Well, I woke up this morning, oh well.

Looks like today is right shoulder and left tricep doing a tap dance while right calf muscle and foot attempt a ballerina toe stand. A little elf has grabbed the back of both eyeballs and is pulling on them like an overstretched rubber band. Needed a shower and new clothes at 4:30a.m. because I thought I could use a sip of juice to clear my throat. Both hands feel like they're stuffed in a tub of Play-Doh.

Looks like it'll be a good day because that's pretty minor. Got the fireplace going and the warmth is just soaking in like heaven. 🥴

You'd better learn to imagine better.

There's an entire documentary on an 18 horsepower compressed air car that does 0-60 in under 4 seconds.

Normal cars use very little horsepower to maintain speed. Welding tanks hold extreme amounts of pressure.

Years ago they said that the screen lense from discarded projection TVs could boil/desalinate water with nothing but sunlight and discarded junk. They could literally create entire desalination plants with nothing but junkyard scrap. They never did anything with that.

I think all these "desalination" projects are nothing but worthless attempts to get free money for research
