[R] Dog is very unsure of cat grooming
  • Animal behaviors can be very context and individual dependent. What I mentioned was very general and the submission aspect usually comes from face licking. Cats can be adverse to face licking sometimes due to the same reason (pecking order essentially) hence that video of the guy trying to lick his cat back after getting his face licked and the cat screaming and running away

  • The bots are here!
  • I get at least one a day over text just saying "hello"

    Have since started reporing as spam and blocking ever single one

  • [R] Dog is very unsure of cat grooming
  • Dog is confused because licking is often a sign of submission and he's freaked out by that. Dogs will do that if you try to lick them too. Licking their lips is a sign of nervousness probably bc he doesnt know why the cat is licking him.

  • Always remain prepared in case you need to evacuate with your fridge during an emergency
  • No, due to poor design the fan motor ripped itself apart and the distributor took a week just to ship the replacement which cost $100

  • Razer has released a backseat gaming AI bot called Ava, and I'm not sure whether using it should be considered cheating or not
  • If its a single player / coop game, go ahead. Anything competive, it is just cheating. It is an external assistance tool that gives an unfair advantage

  • New questions on Stack Overflow are down 77% compared to 2022
  • I mean why would someone prostrate themselves to fit into stackoverflows toxic culture when they can ask an AI trained on those same answers for the same thing. I dont use AI though

  • Full list of Democrats who voted for Laken Riley Act
  • Theres a crappy table that looks like an ad in the middle and only shows like 3 at a time across 16 pages

  • Resistor/Capacitor broke off, anyone knows if it matters?
  • Those parts are not paralleled. They could be switches so that each rear / front I/O jack can be used as a microphone or speaker, so if youre lucky it could just be the one that lets you configure a speaker output as a microphone input

  • Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps?
  • Assuming 25% efficiency, 25% of the sunlight will be converted into electricity. However, once that energy gets used later, most of it will be converted into heat, one way or another. The main way that it will decrease heat being released into the atmosphere is by replacing less efficient methods of energy generation.

    For example, it you normally heat a house with a 90% efficient gas burner to generate 900W of heat on average, you are burning enough gas to generate 1000W of heat on average throughout the day. Lets also say the house gets 4000W of heat across its roof on average throughout the day. Thats 5000W of heat being released into the atmosphere total.

    Lets now say you convert to solar panels and now get 25% of that energy from the sun converted to electricity, then into heat in the house. Electric heating is essentially 100% efficient, so you get 3000W of sunlight converted directly to heat in the panels, 1000W of electricity which is also turned into heat in the house = 3900W of heat + 100W of extra electricity (turned into heat elsewhere). The 1000W of gas gets eliminated completely.

    It probably wont be anywhere near the numbers listed here and batteries will play a huge role in averaging out these numbers due to varying generation and use throughout the day. Additionally this doesnt account for things like cars and othergas based systems which wont / cant be replaced economically, other technologies like radiative cooling paint, and the fact that global temperatures will likely continue to rise due to the continued release of co2 and other gases. It might slightly slow things down though

    Converting electricity generation to renewable alone isnt enough to reverse global warming, it would also require converting systens which use gas and other fossil fuels to electric

  • Resistor/Capacitor broke off, anyone knows if it matters?
  • If it were a cap it could be fine without out. It looks like a diode or fet though; just because there's a bunch doesnt mean there's redundancy. There's something that isn't working properly, you just don't know it yet. Double check you are operating at full 16x on the gpu pcie slot. They could also be ESD protection diodes, in which case the mobo will run fine without it as long as you don't shock the crap out of it

  • What's the last point on your todo list?
  • Non perishable snacks

  • My little sister's use of ChatGPT for homework is heartbreaking
  • Some discussion about ending homework and moving towards more in class pop quizzes and testing. Honestly I've never had a good experience with homework. After 8 hours of school plus travel I was not ready to do several more hours of work. I never did homework and it was the only place my grades suffered.

    Ive had teachers who teach well and teachers who teach poorly. With the former, we started with the problem, figured out what didnt work, figured out what worked and why, and overall learned the process, reasoning, and application. With the latter, we got lectured, infodumped, quizzed, and textbook chapters to read to learn more before answering the homework.

    Personally I think we need better coursework that can give more of the former and less homework. There's a ton of focus on grading, testing and quizzing that kids dont actually have the time to learn why a solution works and instead memorize the how
