I can’t find video since everything is flooded with news people talking about it and won’t show the actual footage. Got a link?

Edit: found one on mastodon. It’s extremely NSFL. Do not watch if even remotely squeamish. I fucking hate that motherfucker and it was still pretty tough to watch. Very lights-out.

I installed Pop OS on my ten year old laptop two days ago. I’m not sure it’s my forever distro, but it’s running fine now that I got the right nvidia driver set up. In any case, now that I’ve gone through the process, I feel a lot more confident that I can build a Linux desktop instead of buying a PS6 in a few years. I’ll probably go AMD to simplify the setup.

And so now you’ve learned that you need to regularly flush the water heater and change out the anode rod every few years, right? I just bought my first house. Hot water wasn’t working right. Heating element was dead. Why? There was so much scale that the lower element was covered in it. Replaced the element, flushed as much out as I could reasonably remove, and then flushed again six months later while replacing the anode rod. This keeps the corrosion at bay.

Fahrenheit used the temperature of the human body to create his system, which makes a lot more sense than other systems.

What is 0°F in terms of the human body? I’m guessing that 100°F is supposed to be a normal human body temperature, but in reality that will vary from person to person and everybody I’ve met is usually 97-99 unless they have a fever.
In Celsius/Centigrade, 0° is the freezing point of water at 1 atmosphere of pressure, and 100° is the boiling point.
In Kelvin, 0 is absolute zero, and it scales with Celsius/Centigrade because anchoring it to water just makes sense.

Fahrenheit is fucking silly and people only defend it because it’s what they were familiar with growing up, so they teach the next generation the same thing, thus perpetuating the cycle of tradition for the sake of tradition.
