When you have kids, you just start using it all wrong and then laugh as the kids cringe, which is kinda like a six seven making me laugh. I also hardly hear it anymore so it seems like it worked.

Go do Folding@home then. As least you can help research instead of helping big tech.

It’s really important to study the obvious things. Most provide evidence of things we knew so we can be confident, and some prove common sense wrong and improve our understanding of the world.

We asked this for Lemmy.nz users (users in this case are accounts on Lemmy.nz and also accounts that participate in our communities).

About 40% of desktop users only selected Linux as their OS (a further 20% selected Linux + Windows).

We also have some 20% say only select a custom Android ROM for their mobile OS.

2FA on the login form is a thing for some sites,

I was gonna say, surely anyone who has actually done this would know the answer.

It’s a number that was pulled out of the air by the New Zealand version of the Fed in the late 80s, and it seems to work well, so everyone copied it.

I think it’s worth pointing out that it’s all part of the neoliberalism fad that originated around that time. There are other ways to run an economy, but this inflation target one works well for neoliberalism because the wealthy own assets which hold their value through inflation. The middle class and below have money, which loses value through inflation. They pay what money they do have largely (directly or eventually) to the wealthy who then use it to buy more assets.

Sorry I may have channelled too much Gary Stevenson there.

I don’t see the problem?

Is there seriously a phone that supports GrapheneOS and has a replaceable battery? Graphene has a famously short list of supported devices.

Where I live bring your own places would be cheap end restaurants not ones that pair the right wine with food.

You mean the soup?

Oh house frames 😅. You mentioned picture frames then a framing hammer, and I was thinking a framing hammer must be small or the picture frame very large!

Next thing you know you’re asking Lemmy how to hold it in for three days.

If you get a globe and draw a line straight from the north pole to the south pole, if you do it right you’ll see it goes directly through Poland.

I have three and don’t love any of them. I didn’t pick them myself they just sort of showed up.

Yeah, there’s a video about it here: https://www.watercare.co.nz/home/about-us/what-we-do/wastewater

It mentions the screening that removes anything bigger than 3mm, including toys, passports, and cash.

This isn’t my local one, my local had a massive failure recently and is a bit fucked so I can’t seem to find the page they have on it, but the page also talked about screening off the solids and mentions toilet paper specifically. My local one also sends the biological solids (the shit) to landfill after water has been removed, which is different than the above one that is apparently using that to turn a quarry into a park.

And just to show it’s not only here, the wikipedia page talks about screening as the first step too.

Toilet paper is biodegradable, and laws around it may also be because of the widespread use of septic tanks which will break down the toilet paper. But septic tanks only work for very low volumes. As mentioned in the above video, wastewater leaves 12 hours after arriving, so the process has to be very quick. You aren’t going to want to pump toilet paper pieces out into the harbour where people swim and lay on the beach, so it’s gotta be screened off and sent to landfill.

It’s still screened off and sent to landfil. “dissolve” isn’t really possible with paper, just breaking into smaller parts.

I’m no expert, but I’m guessing the rules are about the pipes between flushing and treatment, as I can imagine a slurry of toilet paper bits is a lot less likely to create blockages than a mountain of wet wipes.

Hmm I’m pretty sure I could make an account, and log in, with the restriction being I couldn’t send email until I’d subscribed. So you should be able to test the features. I wasn’t aware of the 30 days and you’re nuked rule!

Toilet paper also requires specific processing of the waste water. It’s normally screened off and sent to landfill when it reaches the treatment plant, but I imagine many countries wouldn’t have this infrastructure.

I moved to Mailbox.org in the past few days. You can encrypt your inbox with PGP it appears, though I haven’t quite got to it yet. Mailbox.org seems built by technical people, for better or worse.
