Great question op. Waluigi definitely fucks, makes zero sense

Zip it, snitch!

My hope is that the size/voltage standard lasts forever while traditonal alkaline pile chemistries become obsolete and fade away. Seems like that’s kinda what’s happening too, love seeing all the rechargable AA fans in this thread :)

Fun fact: amp hours are a measurement of discharge over time… I can probably explain this better with an example actually. 48v100ah is four times the capacity of 12v100ah, they can both put 1 amp for 100 hours but at different voltages that’s a different amount of… power? Energy? I always get them mixed up. Anyways the AA guys are 1.5v vs the ~3.7v of a phone battery, so the same amp-hour measurement is a little less than half as much juice. Hope that helps, I’m a little stoned tonight lol

Very cool! It used to be the only option for text chat, and is still the backend for a lot of more modern chat stuff in games etc. There was DCC for sending files, phish for applying encryption, bouncers so you wouldn’t miss messages while offline, all kinds of stuff. Really useful protocol

Unfortunately metal boxes are pretty good at keeping the wifi in. Those antenna arrays aren’t just for show. I prefer thin, featureless wall/ceiling mountable panels :)

This is a real question and I don’t mean to be rude, but… what did you think irc was for?

Jesus was a dirty homeless activist with no love for the institutions of his time. Would genuinely fit in better in under any overpass than in any church. Cool dude.

For me firearm ownership is about responsibility and independence. If you’re going to eat meat, you should participate in the process and understand what it means. If you don’t trust the state with a monopoly on violence, you should be a part of distributing that power as widely as possible. Guns are one of the most powerful tools in the modern world, and I value them for the same reasons I value my drill or computer: they expand my capabilities.
