You speak as if prediction market gambling started in the US. That’s as much bullshit as claiming it started in your country. Things like this have been going on for hundreds of years.

Battery wouldn’t be worth all that much, either, really.

Man. I’m total opposite. They kind of sucked.

White, black, or Asian?

Don’t be too serious. I mean, could you imagine filling out all the employment and tax forms for like 200,000 jobs? Lol

Bank teller: Sir, none of these checks have the same last name, and none of them are yours. I’ve called the fraud department.

Damn. I always thought it was 22 skidoo.

Their design rules? That’s funny, because their design rules from season one and the last 30+ years is that white people are yellow, and black and Indian people are brown.

That’s their “rules”.

The simpsons is almost 40 years old. You’re picturing some world of inclusivity.

It was a show with a lot of stereotypes. It was never made to make everyone the same. It made fun of things. It ruffled some feathers. It’s also why everyone LOVED the first 8 or so seasons. After that they started to get more vanilla.

Lol. Reminds me of Moses wondering the desert for 40 years to go like 400 miles.

So far what they’ve done sounds like they’re trying to be somewhat reasonable. They bought a bunch of acreage as a sound buffer zone and they offered to buy people’s houses at a price we don’t have information on. We don’t really know how unreasonable they’re going to be.

You hear that, everyone!? There’s now enough Lemmy users to actually harass a person!

I’ve been using windscribe for the past few years. Haven’t seen any bad news about them yet, work good on android and PC, and I at least have been getting mine for just $30 a year. Totally recommend them .

Lol. I was about to ask why they bothered to stick Life With Louie up there with all the good shows.

Sorry

I would have loved to short this stock, but Tesla’s idiotic valuation and stock price made me nervous about it.

Watching the big slide over the past month has been pretty funny, though.

Yes. It’s not necessarily the size that makes the noise, but rather the rpm required of the smaller fans to move an equivalent amount of air. I have a fan in my phone, for instance. It is so small that it spins at 23,000 rpm to make just a small amount of air movement I can barely feel, but easily hear. My ceiling fan can’t be heard at all but still moves WAY more air while spinning at a couple hundred rpm. The air turbulence from blade speed is most of what you hear from a fan.

It’s just some standard fluid dynamics. It uses “Bernoulli’s Principle” and the “Coanda Effect”.

You can look up those, or probably look up those along with “dyson bladeless fan” to find a more direct explanation. The gist of it is that the ring of moving air causes a pressure drop inside and behind the opening that causes the air from further behind the ring to rush into the low pressure area and get pulled along through it.

A much higher percentage of extra air will get pulled “down range” from a Dyson style fan. It’s just that the air speed and total volume of those dysons are too low and they’d be noisy as hell to overcome it. But as a ratio of forced air to air that moves along, it’s a much better amount than a traditional fan.

The air thing is real physics. It does “work”. It just isn’t very useful in this application.

It’s also just Dyson’s completely overpriced bullshit. It makes weak air flow and has no real benefit for use as a fan.

Project Farm has tested them a couple different times. They’re expensive aesthetic toys.

*Edit: While I’m on a bit of a Dyson rant; I’d just like to also say that I HATE their hand dryers that some places bathrooms use.
