Dryer started making a burning smell yesterday.

Here, take this

I belive in you!

wha wha what

no, it’s an organic solvent like ethylene carbonate/propylene carbonate + some other stuff, which have a boiling point of 230+°C ( 446°F)

heating up batteries is (mostly) fine (under controlled scenarios with known good batteries, spicy pillows can always happen with bad batches) as long as the plastic holding them together doesn’t melt

you physically CANNOT make a lithium ion battery with water because lithium reacts with water

from the wikipedia page

Lithium reacts vigorously with water to form lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrogen gas. Thus, a non-aqueous electrolyte is typically used, and a sealed container rigidly excludes moisture from the battery pack. The non-aqueous electrolyte is typically a mixture of organic carbonates such as ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate containing complexes of lithium ions.[45] Ethylene carbonate is essential for making solid electrolyte interphase on the carbon anode,[46] but since it is solid at room temperature, a liquid solvent (such as propylene carbonate or diethyl carbonate) is added.

out of the loop european here, what’s happening on April 23rd

everyone’s obsessing over pasta too much. take a fork and taste one, there’s no universal amount of time

even worse when you’re in a group of people and everyone except you is using the urinals

hetzner is great

ah yes, my favourite fertilizer, the heavy metal, carcinogenic, neurotoxic, lead bullet

I’ve been in Vienna from time to time, and it’s pretty good, 365€/year for the pass that gets you buses, trams and subways with unlimited access and no turnstiles anywhere, you just go and enter

Schedules follow work hours and go from a subway every 2 minutes during peak hours to one every 15mins late at night

You have night line buses for weekdays and on Saturday night public transport doesn’t shut down

Coverage is good, you almost always have a bus or tram line less then 5 minutes of walking

There are bike sharing places with 20 bikes each ~1km apart and they cost 60 cents for half an hour, or e-scooters in the designed locations which are basically everywhere (but being owned by companies they cost so much more then everything else)

shit like this reminds me how much I love the EU

isn’t adoption free?

meanwhile, farmers after the 78th kick on their tractor

I usually charge a bottle of alcohol

if I try to mention getting something in return for my constant tech support to the whole family I instantly get the “we raised you, how grateful” treatment

ofc if something completely unrelated breaks it’s my fault and I’m required to fix it

use parental controls and disable app installing

same for touch screen tapping. They just hammer their finger and keep it there for 5 seconds, then wonder why it didn’t work

i’d argue all the alkalis should be yellow too
