I urge everyone to look up the book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. The cultural patriarchy is crazy.

Nobody questions how archeology is influenced by contemporary culture. When archeologists find a grave and goes "the body is buried with weapons and a shield, therefore it must be a warrior and thus a man. And they still fucking note how it's weird that this definitely-a-man is smaller than other men from this culture, and his hips are wide, almost like a woman... But he's a dude, he's got weapons after all!" smh

I just watched a 25min video on half dog/half bag animals, wtf?

He signs off inviting subscription for more of the same, but has just one more videos... And it's cheetahs making cheetah sounds for a minute. Come on!

Maybe it's using a compound noun for a person? Or when an adjective exists? Maybe it's just tradition?

Selvfølgelig er det på Nordsjælland, i resten af Danmark har man dæleme ikke penge til at dele booger sugar ud til Halloween.

So all we have is an unsourced entry in a list based article in a unnamed magazine?

I hope I'm not alone in having an issue with the statement then.

I'm sorry that I'm going to sound like a snob. If people claim to have health related information, I take it seriously. When I said I couldn't find an article describing the correlation, what I meant was that I couldn't find an article on pubmed. I went looking for abstracts for articles in peer reviewed medical journals, not pop culture entertainment in "octogenarians' quarterly".

Except the soldiers probably don't realize that. On the other hand, if they don't fight fiercely, or defect even, then their families are held responsible.

North Korea is still an independent sovereign entity, and the last thing they want is to let their troops be used by Russians in a shitty way.

... without proper compensation. I'm just guessing here, when I suspect that Russia has more USD in stock than the DPRK. But what I'm pretty certain of is, that the Kims would let you do anything to their people for the right amount of cash.

IDK what agreement Putin and Kim has, but if it in any way considers DPRK soldiers as something resembling living creatures, for other than pumping up compensation, then I'd be very surprised.

OK, sure, the ones that survive will have combat experience. But that's not why they're there.

Source? I can't find an article linking PTFE with a metabolic change.

  1. Find a laptop you like
  2. Go to https://libreboot.org/docs/install/#laptops-intel-x86
  3. See that it's not on the list
  4. GOTO 1, 5 times
  5. Start to notice what manufacturers have most laptops on the list.
  6. Find the most recent model of laptop from one of those manufacturers.

That's a song by the police, right?

 

As the title states really. I need to refer to this diverse group of people, who somehow have gotten put in the same box labeled "sexual minorites".

I'm a boring CISHET vanilla white male, so I don't really know. I want to include as many as I can when I refer to "lgbtq+ people". I've been studying various flags, trying to find the one flag I need. But I can't really figure it out.

Is lgbtq+ the preferred term, or what should I use? Is a flag better? I don't want to hurt someone by not including them.

 

Questions:

  • Can you test 450V high ripple current caps with a any old desktop RCL meter?
  • Has digikey shipped me faulty units?

Background:

I've gotten a couple of 660uF (not a typo, it's some weird high ripple current caps for an outdoor AC unit) 450V caps to replace some that I decided were duds. Normally I only measure components when troubleshooting, but this being 20USD with vat devices I thought "what the heck, I better".

The caps in question are chemi-con EKHJ451VSN661MA59M https://www.digikey.dk/en/products/detail/chemi-con/EKHJ451VSN661MA59M/17728502.

Method:

I'm using a Phillips PM6303A, which is a 1kHz RCL meter. Ambiant temp is approx 15°C. The caps have a 20% tolerance, so capacity should be >528uF, but when measuring both caps settle at approx 450uF after a little while. After 16hours it hasn't deviated for the one cap I've left in over night. The dissipation factor, tan(δ), settled at 0.57, while the datasheet states that it shall be no greater than 0.2.

For comparison, the caps I thought was faulty, have been running for about 20years, with the same specs, but came out to 550uF and 0.3, and as the spec said 0.2 I decided to change them.

 

The pic may not be nsfw ... but the words uttered at the time certainly were!

 

As we all know correlation equals causation, and you can always extrapolate from a trend seen in a single research project.

Throwaway any and all ideas you have from that scientific theory course you had to take in university.
