my guess is they didn't want them to leave the area, moving to towns still populated by people and spread radioactivity there. no clue, though.

A single new reactor takes decades to build and costs billions. Investing in solar, wind, the grid and storage instead will generate more energy, faster, and for less.

sciencemadness.org is a fantastic resource for home chemistry. I love that necroing is encouraged, and never understood why so many other forums forbid it.

robot vacuum runs at night, shit needs to be off the floor - this helps a lot already

Absolutely can second this. In my case I just spend 5 minutes each morning making sure there's nothing on the floor before the robot does its thing, and it's helped tremendously. Stuff used to get moved around to places it didn't belong and just stay there - but not anymore.

I also make sure to never leave a room empty-handed, if there's something that needs cleaning up. Just pick up a glass on my way to the kitchen, or a toy on my way past the kid's room - at this point it's just automatic, takes nearly zero extra time or effort, and has a huuuuuge impact. I think I've only purposefully tidied the apartment once in the last 6 months, because stuff just no longer builds up to the point that it becomes a big mess.

Pyridine is pretty horrible... Don't really know how to describe the smell: like a mix of rotten cum and ashtray? It overpowers any other smells, gives me instant headaches and the stench can linger for hours.

Dimethyl sulfide is also pretty disgusting to me, kinda like... a kitchen that's been used to cook brussel sprouts for 20 years + garlic breath?

Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.

Buckets is a good alternative for anyone who can't find a key for YNAB classic: https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com/

I was gonna say something like ping, but there's still a surprising amount of development going on for such a simple tool (40th anniversary, yay!): https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/ping/ping.c

So... retro games it is. Currently playing through Broken Sword (1996).

Jupiter Ascending. It's just all around terrible, and not in the it's-so-bad-it's-good way. I don't get the appeal.

lmao, I just recently realised I've seen that movie so many times and have no idea what it's about.

Not sure, but it looks like you're posting to the wrong sub. Try !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml instead (see rules 1 and 3 in the side bar)
