who puts slippery tile in their bathrooms?

who designs a shower with no water containment system? Your going to get water coming out the door

I actually do this. Rotate food down one shelf every week. Bottom shelf goes into the trash

most AVR, automatic voltage regulators, won't allow for rapid switching on and off.

Actively cooled UPSes, especially the ones that do more active double conversions, absolutely always have the fan on.

pipes come in many sizes! cardboard tubes as well

You could use rough sand paper on the pipe to make it grippy, or add antislip tape to it

A big PVC pipe? So they are all in one location

PCU: power conditioner unit?

VRU: voltage regulator unit?

While the UPS does have lots of upside, there are some downsides to consider:

Battery is a consumable, off gas venting, perhaps active cooling fan noise

It's a dichotomy. You have to decide what's more important. Showing support for a niche game maker, or saving money and getting a stable version of the game.

oh interesting, what reasons make the ups safer?

It doesn't sound like you need a UPS. It sounds like you needed automatic voltage regulator.

It'll condition the power so it's clean, and if it's not clean it'll cut the power off.

Many good UPS's have a voltage regulator built in, but then you have the hassle the battery and everything. Up to you depends on what's easier to find for you locally

 

A classic, feels like it was shot on a potato!

Emotionally hits harder watching it as an adult.... irritated !

 

Let's suppose we could dump enough "breathable" air (whatever that means for humans) into the solar system that it filled the spaces between planets.

What would happen?

A - I imagine it would then become possible to fly airplanes between planets, perhaps balloons? Would space travel become easier or harder?

B - According to another lemmy post, we would start to hear sound waves from the sun (A constant jackhammer sound - delightful)

C - Each each planet become the center of some mega cyclone (like the Jupiter storms, but bigger)?

D - At some point the air above us wouldn't be pushing down onto the earth at sea level, could we survive the additional pressure?

 

7/10, no notes

I've decided to do my first Babylon 5 rewatch!

Lets have a binge thread to talk about B5!

I would love to find a 4k remaster of the series, there are some great demo videos on youtube, but on the streaming sites I can only find 720p. If you have any trouble choosing which streaming service to use just search for fmhy and they will have a curated list of options.

TV shows were wild back then, 22 episodes per season, 45 minutes each; 1000 minutes per season!

Watch the film, don't read the plot synopsis!

Scifi, future, humanity themes

Excellent Film, well worth watching and thinking about.

7.5/10 on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6499752/

 

Now that Borderlands has hit the "streaming" services in high quality, I've watched it.

It's reasonable for a second screen show at 2x speed in the background. It might even get some popularity over time.

Concord is very polished. But it still seems fairly contained, a bunch of heroes, a handful of maps. Where did the 8 years go?

Firewalk studios has 169 employees as far as i can tell.

They use unreal engine, no single player campaign

Where did the time go?
