brittle. brittle materials fail in the elastic portion of the stress strain diagram

people are generally ok. put them in a situation where they can climb over other people to advance and watch the rot begin.

so, while people are generally ok, corporate people are generally not.

this assumes a ductile material. I myself am smiling as though everything is fine in the elastic region and may snap at any moment.

personally, I have no desire to live longer than I'm intended to. living to that age with more vitality, however, that sounds great!

do you mean fusion? fusions the one that separate atomic nuclei that we've had since the 1940's. fusions the one where atomic nuclei are combined, that make headlines when the reactors run for more than a few seconds

a little blunt, but there's the classic Boaty McBoatface

North East, US here. probably fine but I don't trust it. we use a water filter for drinking

there trick is to pull the elastic down far enough so it reaches over the bottom edge of the mattress.

forget folding it neatly. you can adult without that skill

I loved stumbled upon! it's got repetitive after a while, but I found a bunch of stuff I never otherwise would have

adjacent answer, but resource requirements are lower than might be expected since the simulation only needs to capture elements observed by a conscious entity. the vast majority of the known universe has not been observed in any detail that requires significant memory or processing resources. this same technique is employed by computer game designers so that only scenery and elements within view of a player are fully rendered.

 

whilst updating the firmware on my Epson printer, I was presented with their updated EULA which - shock and surprise /s- limits users rights to seek relief in court or participate as part of a class in any class action suit.

While you can't update the firmware without accepting the terms of the new EULA, they do describe a way to opt-out of the provisions which limit your legal rights. You simply need to send a letter to them saying you want to opt out of those provisions. ** BUT** you only have 30 days from the date you accept the EULA to opt-out.

For anyone inclined, I've included a template of the letter I sent for myself to save others time in doing the same.

do any off the Lemmy or kbin apps provide a way to browse instances other than your own? kind of like filtering for "local" posts but local to another federated instance.

I've subscribed to communities from other instances once I find ones I like. but the only way I can "find" them it's if I see an interesting post when I filter for "all" posts - what some other site might refer to as a post making it to the front page

I guess I could hunt from a web browser to do that, but I'd rather not have to switch between apps to do that
