Thurkeau@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•[What if scenario] What if all commercial institutions suddenly decided they no longer intend to acknowledge religious events such as Christmas?English21·2 years agoI’ve noticed that seems to be happening, especially with companies like Amazon, whom I work for, aside from the money they can make from it. That said, we also have an example of that in the form of old Soviet Russia. They had actually eliminated most holidays.
Thurkeau@lemmy.worldOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What if urine was reprocessed by large intestines?English1·2 years agoThat is also something that I have wondered about, but that probably isn’t a thing because of salt buildup.
Thurkeau@lemmy.worldOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What if urine was reprocessed by large intestines?English2·2 years agoThat’s actually part of my question. The bowels also dump toxins overboard as well, but will they be enough to do the job?
Thurkeau@lemmy.worldOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What if urine was reprocessed by large intestines?English11·2 years agoTrue, though as is, we still need to take in water due to a shortfall in what we do take in. That said, I’m also wondering if my proposal would also result in other waste products being recirculated and building up in the system, causing their own complications.
Thurkeau@lemmy.worldOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What if urine was reprocessed by large intestines?English21·2 years agoI can totally see that, though what if the body was able to adapt to the new configuration and keep the gut bacteria in its place, but the urine still flowed into the bowels for reprocessing? What else would the large intestines pick up aside from water and maybe salt?
Thurkeau@lemmy.worldOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What if urine was reprocessed by large intestines?English31·2 years agoThen you’d be right back where you started for my purposes, still losing moisture unnecessarily.

Thurkeau@lemmy.worldOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What if urine was reprocessed by large intestines?English1·2 years agoA cloaca still has facilities for urine to be dumped overboard, doesn’t it? My proposal is to recirculate it before dumping it overboard dry.
Thurkeau@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•McDonald's franchisee group says new $20 minimum wage California fast-food bill will cause 'devastating financial blow'English269·2 years agoWould you pay $20 for a Big Mac? …though they’ll probably automate the cooking and cashier positions, so they don’t have to pay an employee what I make as a robotics technician.
The main two things I like about start menus is that it keeps all your apps out of the way, and in some resemblence of organizatoin, instead of just barfing them all out in one big cluttered mess, which is part of what turns me away from Apple, or Gnome. However, they’re not as easy to use on touchscreens. That said, ads deeply nerf this advantage.
Thurkeau@lemmy.worldOPto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Baulder's Gate texture glitter under Steam/Vulcan?English2·2 years agoI didn’t realize that, though it seems to run fine on my potato (Ryzen 5: 1400, 16GB DDR4, Radeon 6770) with the occasional stutter, locked at 30fps 1080p for the most part. I haven’t tried faster frame rates yet as I’m trying to mirror the feel of the game between both this system and my Deck.

Thurkeau@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux players getting banned on Apex Legends againEnglish1·2 years agoI haven’t gotten Genshin to work on Linux, though it may be because I just made a passing attempt, expecting a ban. Then again, I only play it once a blue moon anyway.
Thurkeau@lemmy.worldOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Where to start with a Volcano hotend?English1·2 years agoLooks like I may be going back to an all metal hotend. I had some decent luck with a Creality Spider, though I’ve found that it isn’t in production and the choice of nozzles limited to pretty much the 04 nozzle that comes with most printers. What’s the CR-10 all metal hotend that is popular and useful and with a good variety of nozzles?
Thurkeau@lemmy.worldOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Where to start with a Volcano hotend?English2·2 years agoWhile I know I’m not going to get SLA level detail (which I have given up on for now as I keep busting the LCD of my resin printer every set of prints) I am still hoping I can get to something recognizable, usually at 3x size for the figure, which I could do with the CR10 head and the Spider. Problem is, haven’t been able to even begin to dial in the calibrations, which is what I’m asking for assistance with. Where is a good place to start my tests at?
Thurkeau@lemmy.worldOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Where to start with a Volcano hotend?English1·2 years agoI do use a dryer on most, if not all of my filament, so I know it isn’t that. Thanks for the tip, though. I literally have a Sonyu dryer with the extrusion nipple of both the top and bottom drilled out to 1/2 inch to get rid of the moisture. I’m able to get it down to 25% humidity at 40c or so inside, and I’ll leave it for days before I print. Same results.

Thurkeau@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•KDE Connect is the best! Also why isn't the app called KDE Konnekt 🤣English1·2 years agoI feel like they missed a perfect opportunity, though it may just be the most 2000s thing ever.
Still looking for a snake that’s small enough. My normal goto, copper wire, is a challenge to use in small tubes as well.
