gasgiant@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•As the U.S. economy cools, Trump points to ‘phenomenal numbers’ that don’t exist5·2 months agoHasn’t it been cooling for a while? When does cooling become a recession?
gasgiant@lemmy.mlto movies@piefed.social•What’s the Difference Between ‘Filmed for IMAX’ and ‘Shot With IMAX’?8·2 months agoThe TL;DR needs a bit of expansion.
“Filmed” also means they thought about the IMAX process and aspect ratio all the way through production
“Shot” is correct but the film is then converted to the digital format for projection. I’m not sure there’s too many places doing IMAX film (non digital) projection now.
Zed’s shed baby. Zed’s shed.
It’s wasps all the way down…
I can 100% guarantee this is the UK comic magazine Viz.
It often has ridiculous made-up articles like this.
gasgiant@lemmy.mlto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•New vaccine to treat 15 types of cancer now available on NHSEnglish3·5 months agoI’m not sure exactly how this should be classed. According to the article it deactivates part of the cancer cells which then allows the patients own immune system to attack and destroy them.
So it isn’t really a treatment as it doesn’t destroy the cancer itself. The patient’s own immune system does that.
However a vaccine technically works by providing the immune system with the “blueprint” of the disease so the immune system knows how to destroy it if infected. Which isn’t what this is doing.
I suspect it probably has a long scientific name that average people won’t understand and makes for a crap headline.
gasgiant@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•China calls US a ‘joke’ as it raises tariff for final time251·5 months agoCOVID knocked all global trade in that period.
gasgiant@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What was the 'bear vs man' controversy?161·6 months agoThe major issue I had with this is that it plays into the alpha male misogynistic ideal of strength.
Some of them will almost certainly see it as a badge of honour. That they are so dominant that some stupid women (their opinion) will misinterpret that and get into trouble with a bear.
I was trying to come up with a way to rephrase it.
Something like would you rather be alone with a man or separate but you both have to eat a bowl of dog shit.
If women choose the bowl there are nasty consequences for both and it’s clearer they would rather deal with that than the man.
Nowhere near as catchy though…
Snapping sounds like a real faff.
Keep them all in a special plastic box that is inside a powerful electromagnet.
Push button and a field that is strong enough to damage the cards almost instantly and over a short time would generate enough heat to physically damage the cards.
With enough power and time you could turn them into one hot blob that wouldn’t even be recognisable.
So near instant data damage and then physical destruction probably before someone can work out what’s going on.
gasgiant@lemmy.mlto Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•I finished a tube of chapstick before losing it.6·8 months agoI thought this place was supposed to be dull.
The rare exciting news of a finished Chapstick (rather than lost, wrecked in the washing machine, etc …) is certainly not dull!
I’m going to go and reorganise my screw boxes to calm down a bit.
gasgiant@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Don't know where to ask so I'll just ask here, so is there a possibility these be legit on Ebay?2·9 months agoDid I imagine a scam with hacked bios as well?
Where the card looks a bit physically similar and the bios is updated to report it as whatever dynamite card but it’s actually a pos and the performance is always rubbish.
gasgiant@lemmy.mlto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•UK government hires ‘nudge unit’ to help dispel heat pump myths | Behaviour experts say misinformation shared in media and by other stakeholders is impeding uptake5·9 months agoMy opinion is that it isn’t. If it can remove heat then it will cool the same as air AC.
However it comes with the problem of condensation everywhere. So those room radiators that give off heat in the winter will be dripping with condensation in the summer. As will all the system pipework that isn’t fully insulated and protected.
So that’s probably a lot of water running different places in the home.

They are thermal stores and just store primary heating circuit water.
The water from the buffer tank isn’t the hot water from the tap. The water in the buffer tank will be used to indirectly heat mains water. Either through a plate heat exchanger or an unvented cylinder.
gasgiant@lemmy.mlto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•Frankly, I quite enjoyed the warEnglish26·9 months agoI can almost guarantee this is a parody bit or letter from Viz.
Every issue is peppered with little gems like this and the styling looks right

gasgiant@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was something you learned too late in life?91·11 months agoThe sunk cost fallacy is a very easy way to get stuck being miserable.
Sometimes a drastic change might be painful at the time but will be much better for you overall.
gasgiant@lemmy.mlto [Dormant] Electric Vehicles (Moved to !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net)@lemmy.world•EVs outlasting ICE cars says Renault boss | Auto Express12·1 year agoStill no evidence from you. Also it appears you can’t read or comprehend simple statements. I said there were more issues with electric vehicles than just batteries. I didn’t say that was anything to do with reliability. Issues with vehicle ownership impact how long that vehicle lasts. Hopefully this time it will sink in. This isn’t about durability or fragility (which are also two concepts you also don’t seem to understand) of an electric motor in a hypothetical situation.
The article isn’t about reliability it is about Electric Vehicles outlasting ICE vehicles. Which is the life of the vehicle. So includes all the things I mentioned. Unless now we’re in another hypothetical world where there are no problems whatsoever over the life of the vehicle. In which case they both last forever.
Your statements about why there aren’t EV garages is complete nonsense and shows you know nothing about the actual subject.
Instead of the patients coming in already bleeding you’ll have to make them bleed and then stop it.
Seems like extra work to me.
