Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly at Max-Q

Straitjacket now im going to stop proofreading my posts and just let autocorrect do is thing. I’ll prob do it for a day or two and see what happens

I think modern steamos is based on a different distro then it was then. Also proton is good enough now to justify switching for a lot of people

I wonder how similar opencola is

As far as I can tell, unfair terms in their EULA which are illegal in some places, and silently changing the terms of the EULA after the fact without informing anyone. Removal of content/mods under the new terms that they deemed they “didnt like” it because it had guns while putting guns in their own shop. Probably a number of other things.

Hasnt helped me; havent gotten a response in a year of applying on and off other than a 6 month late rejection every here and there

I’m pretty sure coreboot was only available on the Chromebook fw which is no longer available

I dont see it as an option when configuring the 16 for purchase, but if it’s available somewhere I’d be interested as I already have one.

I believe they only have their custom bios and no word on coreboot support. Rumors are that they recently hired someone to work on getting coreboot working, but until framework themselves say something we wont know.

The mod there was mad banning people who downvoted anything on the sub and got evicted

Dimmers will typically use a triac which cuts up the sinusoidal waveform. It doesnt actually lower the amplitude per se, but it limits the fraction of the time the waveform is on. Kinda like this. This means that a lot of the time the led isnt gettingas much or any power. The average power will be lower, and if the LED driving circuitry isnt designed to compensate for this, the LED will flicker.

Clarification on triacs: they get turned on a certain fraction of the way into the cycle. Triacs will stay on until the voltage across them is 0. Conveniently the zero-crossing of the AC wave (when the wall voltage crosses zero to start foing negative or from negative to positive) does just that.

Which also drops from 30% to 25% after $10M and to 20% after $50M, giving a grand total of:

$10,000,000*0.70+
$40,000,000*0.75+
$17,500,000*0.80=
$51,000,000

Not including taxes and fees

Coal plant burns coal to heat water, makes steam, and the steam powers a turbine to produce electricity. A nuclear power plant uses nuclear fuel to heat water and produce steam similar to a coal plant. It may do this indirectly (e.g. second loop between the nuclear fuel and water loop to prevent the water becoming radioactive). This means that to build a nuclear plant you essentially need to build a coal plant, and then also the nuclear reactor and safety stuff, which makes them more expensive. Since coal plants are being turned off anyways, it might be more cost effective to just retrofit old coal plants so the only cost is the nuclear reactor side of things (plus any necessary maintenance and upgrades)

It’s a lie because Im too dumb to prove it

One example I could think of is title-tagged posts given the lack of a tag implementation

Oil is placed on the pan and then it is heated to form a non-stick coating. This layer can have small holes in it, so the process is repeated many times. The holes do not line up, which makes the path for water to get through much longer or blocks it. This means water can not easily make it through all of the layers. That also means any water that gets in can’t easily get out, and it can cause rust to form if it makes it through the coating and is left on there.

I have more than once found a post my exact problem with an exact solution and sources, only to go back and realize it was my own post from n years back

Isn’t he that crazy dude that was using a bunch of sockpuppet accounts to harass people

E: yep and yep
