The person you're responding to is incorrect, fruit fermentation produces methanol: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8125215/ The primary mechanism of methanol production during fermentation is from pectin…
It's illegal to ship queen ants across state lines (let alone from out of the country) without a USDA permit, so you'll be hard pressed to find many sites willing to admit to it. That said, Bugs In Cyberspace is well…
There are, just not lowercase characters that are valid hex.
The irony of this comment is that deportations were higher under Biden than during Trump's first term, which makes it seem exactly like it was "written by teenagers, based on emotions." The administration with the…
It depends on the AA battery, but you'd need 6 - 8 to get equivalent performance. The Google Pixel 9 has a 4700 mAh battery at 3.9 volts. The total energy is around 18.3 watt hours. A high capacity rechargeable AA…
I don't use it at all for a variety of reasons, but I rarely bother to get into discussions on HackerNews. Looking at how new it is, and how quickly things are changing, it seems likely that I could adopt it into my…
They actually asked for quantitative evidence.
People who heavily utilize any of those _do_ have the associated skills atrophied. It's just that in all of the listed cases, the actual associated skill may not have actually been important. The younger people at my…
This tracks with a report[1] that nearly half of consumer spending now comes from the top 10%. [1]: https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-sp50...
The point of dog whistles is that most people can't hear them.
To head off typical response to that passage - the idea that "the eye of a needle" was referencing a literal gate in Jerusalem (changing the meaning of the passage from "impossible" to "you might have to squeeze a…
I recently learned from my vet that fleas are a very common form of tapeworm transmission, and animal to animal transmission is comparatively rare. https://www.cdc.gov/dipylidium/about/index.html
A cursory search would show you how much frustration there is around broken autofill attributes. Such a dismissive attitude helps no one. Would you like me to paste the contents of the Jira issue I did last month…
From what I've observed, "woke" is just the latest pejorative used by the American political right. Before woke, there was "PC", "SJW", and I'm sure others that were before my time. Before too long, woke will dry up and…
By summing up the top 60 entries for UK billionares from The Times Rich List for 2024 (which is data from 2023), I get almost exactly 500 billion pounds in net worth (£499.55bn). According to Wikipedia, the UK had a…
According to copper.orgs fact page, the "average" single family home (whatever that means) has 151 pounds of copper pipe. The current scrap price for #1 copper where I live is $2.88. That comes out to around $446. That…
I'm using #4 as an example of the opposite end of the spectrum from day trading in Robinhood - traditionally safe investments with little long term risk as a form of building wealth. The point that I was trying to get…
I have anecdata #3 and #4. Both of these people are in their early 30s. #3 - A friend who recently (within the last year) drained his savings to $0 paying for a trip to Europe. All of the money came from day trading…
I'm reading their comment as the opposite - there are mechanisms for a high trust society in place (which is good), but if you go out of your way to opt out of it then you're on your own.
My Indiana mortgage payment is $500, thank you very much.
I've also found that, at least with Comcast, swearing at the bots will usually put you through to an operator.
I used to work for a Moodle host that also did custom plugin development. The Moodle code base dates back to somewhere around 2000 ish, and comes with the baggage of the early days of PHP. The Moodle code is full of "no…
If you're serious about it, the way that I (accidentally) found that works is to keep some spiders and roaches as pets. I used to be the same way, involuntarily flinching whenever a large enough insect would crawl on me…
The original comment and every reply reads like it was copied straight from a marketing brief. This is everyone's reminder that Hacknernews is not immune to astroturfing, and it's often done much more subtly.
The assessment of Cocky -> Lazy -> Stupid -> Dead is spot on. I haven't gotten super far, but my last run ended because I saw a bunch of 'C' in the next room and didn't bother checking what they were - turns out gravity…
