I saw this voltmeter at the electronics flea market. Look at that massive probe! It looks like you need to check your back blast before using it.
Apparently it's for REALLY high voltages? Like, 3kV?

I don't know if it's related to the hypo-/hypersensitivity topic, stimulation or whatsoever. But I really like strong tasting stuff. Spicy, salty, hot, sour, complex, whatsoever.
After just now taking a sip from a pickle glass it came to my mind that I even took shots of vinegar in the past, because I liked the taste. I considder it so odd that I wondered if anybody out there did it too.
@Dr_Obvious@actuallyautistic Nein, eigentlich ist er Kriminalbiologe und forensicher Entomologe ^^
Aber das ist kein Grund, seine "Time is up"-Vorträge bzw. Videos zum Thema Klimakatastrophe oder auch Austismus / Neurodivergenz nicht zu gucken :-)
Der Vortrag oben ist im Rahmen des schAUT Projektes (Schule & Autismus - Barrieren für (Autistische) Schüler:innen in Schulen erkennen und abbauen) aufgenommen worden.
Tie the corporate tax rate to the gap in C suite total compensation to front-line worker pay. The wider the gap, the higher the tax rate and the lower the profits.
@rbreich
🥥 Eye submit that the 344-to-1 pay gap between overpaid CEOs and their employees is fueling low pay for workers in ways that are both obvious -- in the US wealth gap -- and hidden -- as in the inflation of most goods and services.
And don't even get me started on how blatantly the toxic rich are purchasing elected officials, the judicial system, and policing. 🥥 #EconomicDisparity, #CEOPay, #EarningsGap, #TaxTheWealthy, #EatTheRich, #BongHits4Workers, #TuckersBalls
SwiftUI noob question: I understand why my ViewModel is being initialized twice, but why is it not being deinitialized?
It's created, then a second later when appState.show is changed, the view is recomputed, and view, and its ViewModel, are created anew. Cool! But why is the old one not deinitialized? What's holding onto it?

Assuming you've already heard the big famous ones...
The Varangian Way by Turisas is a (surprisingly historically accurate!) concept album about Viking/Byzantine history that really deserved to be a full rock opera.
The Chronicle of the Black Sword by Hawkwind also doesn't get the credit that it ought to (but that might be just my general feeling as a Hawkwind fan).
Can anybody point me to a good deep dive on the mastodon database schema? Preferably with explanations where necessary? Yes I know how to go look at the mastodon docs and code. I’m doing that. I’m also looking for more of a guide to wrap my head around things.
@polotek interesting. ActivityPub talks a lot about “inboxes”. I wonder how much of at least the messaging parts of Mastodon could be modeled with something like mbox-style files (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox). Yahoo! Mail ran for a long time on mbox files, building external indices on top of those to speed access and optimize disk space/retrieval.

a major problem of suburbia is that it has functionally pushed all of the vast open spaces for creative labor far far beyond the city to the point of inaccessibility to all but the most privileged city dwellers and suburbanites
this should not be seen as a luxury, it's an essential thing for people to be able to exist as indepedent tradesfolk. we should strive to build cities that enable people to be independent and exist outside of capitalist wage labor
you can do some of this in hackerspaces, but they're often so constrained in space that there are fundamental limits to what can be done, and they're few and far between. larger spaces are expensive and often outside a hackerspace's budget
It’s surprising how many animals can act weirdly human. From territorial chimps to extroverted orcas, Live Science points us to 32 such animals that demonstrate humanlike behavior. https://flip.it/WyuSD1 #Science#Animals#Humans
@ScienceDesk@Hawaii humans are animals too and all of us arose on the same planet, with many of the same instincts and behaviors. we just forget about that most of the time. it would be super weird if we didnt share behaviors.
