This is a bit of a misnomer. While North American River otters have zero knowledge on field-effect devices, they have a good grasp of junction devices such as transistors. It would not be surprising to anyone that knows otters that they can be bi-polar.

News@lemmy.world•PepsiCo to cut prices, eliminate products as part of a deal with an activist investor
6·14 hours agoWhen the solution to the problems are ‘low prices sell more product’ and literally every company seems to be ignoring that
Its not that simple. Selling more product at a lower price may not result in higher profits. These companies generally don’t care about sales as much as they do profits. Selling 10x the amount of product, but at break-even or a loss would be worse to the company than it is now with their declining sales. PepsiCo’s problem as I see it, is PepsiCo makes only a few products (some of their minor food brands) that would actually be a necessary purchase to live. Everything else they make is a luxury that people can skip if they can’t afford it.
Everyone is getting squeezed with rising costs in housing, transportation, actual food, and medical care costs that can’t be skipped, so it is PepsiCo products (and brands like them) are the first things we cut out.

11·23 hours ago2028: The law was changed and now Barron is president.
If you look at the history of what donald did to his dad, you’d see why donald would never let his son have power of him. They’re all horrible people.
I have some fantastic mom & pop shops in my area that I patronize regularly. However, just being a mom & pop pizza shop doesn’t make their pizza good. I’ve spend a lot of money on bad mom & pop shop pizza.

News@lemmy.world•Gas Stoves Account For More Than Half of Some Americans’ Exposure to a Known Toxin, New Research Concludes
6·2 days agoThe good news is that is super easy to remedy.
I have to learn the basics of stir-fry first! :) I’m a pretty basic cook, but haven’t really tried my hand at stir-fry.
I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge on the wok cooking though, and I didn’t know about the specifics behind wok hei, though I always love that flavor from restaurants.
However, sautéed green beans in cast iron on an induction stove is one of my go-to dishes at home. What I make is NOT 四季荳! I have to go to a restaurant for that lovely dish! There was another thread here on Lemmy we were talking about induction cooking and I had taken some picture that last time I made my green beans. You’re absolutely right on my overcrowding:

And after looking up your comment about wok hei temperatures starting at about 260°C and going as high as 371°C, you’re also absolutely right my regular methods are nowhere near that (but until your post I didn’t know about wok hei specifics). I used a FLIR camera when I was in middle of cooking and you can see I was only at about 150°C. This was the induction element set at 6 or 7 I think:

Why do you have to call me out like that?! I thought we were friends!
Oh shit! Forget all that stuff I admitted to. My RPi reboots every 4 hours because … uh … cosmic radiation.
My RPi uptime on one project will never exceed 4 hours.
I’ve got a cron job set to reboot my Raspberry Pi every 4 hours because I wrote a crappy Python app that continuously creates objects during operation that I would have to recreate, but I can’t delete the originals, or rather, I can delete the original parent but the child survives and keeps its memory allocation. So a full reboot with autolaunch of the application on boot is my ugly janky workaround. Its a cosmetic application, nothing critical. Its just a colorful display of data metrics.
I can hear the horror and gnashing of teeth of real developers as they read this.

News@lemmy.world•Project 2025 architects lay out 2026 policy vision
9·2 days agoIncreasing fossil fuel - Heritage warns that the U.S. is on the verge of an electricity shortage, arguing that cutting reliance on renewable energy — and expanding oil and natural gas — is the only way to avoid a crisis.
How are they able to say this with a straight face. “Were on the verge of a electricity shortage. We believe we should cut out a huge source of electricity to solve the shortage”.
That’s just whackadoodle, and so is anyone that genuinely thinks this is true.

News@lemmy.world•Man Charged for Wiping Phone Before CBP Could Search It
22·3 days agoI don’t disagree, but usually they at least try to present a semi-defensible argument. So far the only thing they elude to is “before or during a time when we were going to perform a search he wiped his own phone”. If its “before” a search then what is even the basis for that being illegal for him to wipe is own property?

65·3 days agoDetails are weird here. The wiping occurred in Jan 2025. I found the indictment which was filed with the court on Nov 13th 2025 linked here
We have almost no details of what happened in Jan 2025 except “Customs and Border Patrol Tactical Terrorism Response Team” was doing something with Tunick in January and Tunick “used a code” to wipe the phone. Then suddenly in November 2025 the US Government filed to have him arrested for that event.
I’m not a legal scholar, but none of these details or timeline makes sense to me. Anyone else have any clue?
Isn’t that convenient! One lesson you learn as you get older is to simple “let people continue to be wrong”. That’s what I’ll do now. You should probably just block me then because I must be AI, right? I think you’ll be doing both of us a favor. Have a great day!
Are you being intentionally evasive, or is that just your “thing”?
Gotcha, no hard feelings. I think we both appreciate the art and the artist.
but imo it’s important to aknowledge the skill behind something like this.
From my first post that’s what I’ve been doing. I’m not sure why you’re taking this thread where I have done nothing but compliment the artist and their skills and try to make it sound like I’m insulting the artist instead. Even with your response here you’re doing that again.
Get started with what?
I, uh, I think those are the tires of the car it ate.





I’m imagining code snippets that would actually download ads into applications people are writing. This would target those that copy/paste’d code without having any concept of what the code in question does.
