MetalSlugX@piefed.socialtoLaw@lemmy.world•Prediction Market, Kalshi, Sued for Not Paying $54 Million for Bets on Khamenei's DeathEnglish
1·3 days agoI would have expected some kind of analysis or explanation… or at least the pertinent chunk of “rules” rather than this happened, that happened, he said she said style reporting.

This just confirm-confirm-confirms what was already known - hitting a mass with another mass changes the trajectory.

326·3 days agoAbsolute fucking shit article.
Read the fucking lawsuit before ya compose and post your feeble excuse for journalism, Mr. Tom Shardware.
The total tariffs globally collected are around $200B but Nintendo is only seeking the return of their chunk plus attorney fees.

4·12 days agoI mean this is a crap article and a crap series of opinions. I only read it because it keeps getting spammed over and over. Now I understand why they’ve been downvoted consistently, it’s a trash opinion.

Music@lemmy.world•What's a song you could never stand hearing?English
1·15 days agoA lot of Queen is masterful, a lot of Queen is absolutely horrible. I would draw your attention to Fat Bottom Girls, a song about a boy who was raped by his caregiver, giving him a lifelong sexual fetish.

It’s some goofball pastiche of bad musical ideas. People love it, and every few years it’s “rediscovered” and I have to endure more.
This does not belong here, this community is for responses that are particularly insightful, well-timed, or clever. Not for random quips.

88·15 days agoI would encourage you to read what is said and try to understand it, versus taking this tired, feeble, accusatory approach.

310·15 days agoThat’s not how it works, perhaps you might want to close your apps for a few weeks and live in the real world and then you will realize it is nothing like the online spaces.

1931·16 days agoIn no way discounting her experience, but it’s almost like she’s a woman and not a man and she sees things from the woman’s perspective.
It’s a cruel reality, and without having to do a battle of the sexes comparison, everybody gets this bullshit, regardless of gender identity or sex.
Ever been a man and walked into a woman’s online space and see the bullshit that goes on there, the horrible accusations, derogatory dialogue? Ever been falsely accused of sexual impropriety by a woman who’s just looking to hold power?
People are assholes, and when you go on a platform filled with assholes, they’re going to be assholes. Solution, stop going to those places and live in the real world.
Cool smoke can hit better, but counterintuitively, not when it is cooled through the filtration medium (water).
The biggest reason is condensation. Think about a can drink sitting out in the hot weather, and how water collects on the outside. When something very cold touches something very hot, the moisture condenses.
A very similar process happens when you filter the smoke, it passes through cold water, which condenses the humidity out of it as well as a lot of extra THC that you don’t want to condense in the water.
So you end up with a relatively dry hit, that is kind of scorching to the lungs in that strange way. Because you’ve got incredibly dry cool air now hitting warm moist lungs and the condensation happens the other direction! Moisture from your lungs is robbed into the smoke that you just inhaled.
As weird as it sounds, the easiest way to experience this is to notice the difference between a hot filter and a cold filter, when you have a little bit of a chest cold. You’ll be able to see just how much extra your lungs freak out when you take a cold hit.
All of this being said, clean bongs regularly and do not allow bacterial growth to form. Since I’m dropping three decades of stoner knowledge here, another tip is to use acetone instead of the commercial cleaners. One tablespoon of acetone beats everything. So it does a much better job than the over-the-counter cleaners, it’s way cheaper, and it’s a safe solvent.
You want warm water for a bong.
You can have ice in the throat as the smoke rises but do not filter through cold water.

Coffee@lemmy.world•FE-AR La Peppina rebuild - How bad is this corrosion? (more images in post)English
2·17 days agoI’m no expert and 2/3 of the images fail to load for me right now. But it looks like LOTS of subsurface corrosion which makes this garbage/recycle. I want to be wrong.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft claims "2026 is the moment" for AI PCs, but its essay-length beginner explanation only creates more confusion — Is it any wonder adoption is slow?English
58·17 days agoNo it isn’t.
I’ve been waiting for the “big year” since 1996. It’s never going to happen. This is not to invalidate anybody’s appreciation of Linux but it’s not for the public and it never will be.
