I think that’s the Gen2 or Gen3? I had a couple of them over a few years, and I’m ashamed to say I’m not sure whether I actually had the one in the photo, or the version just prior to it.

Cooool!

Yes… -ish. Hurricanes are, in effect, a big heat engine that helps to distribute heat towards the poles from the equator. It is one of Nature’s more efficient heat transfer mechanisms, among natural systems.

Hurricanes both draw heat from the ocean surface and the atmospheric boundary layer, and eject it into the upper air through convection and the latent heat released through condensation at the expense of warming the upper-mid layers of the atmosphere… The surface level winds mix the sea surface waters into deeper layers, cooling the surface at the expense of warming the uppermost marine layers.

You don’t, however, get anything for free. On a global scale the heat doesn’t so much dissipate as it does just redistribute. The heat is all still there, it’s just less concentrated in the equatorial surface-level atmospheric and marine layers by being distributed into upper atmospheric layers, deeper marine layers, and higher latitudes. The average temperature integrated across the entire volume of affected regions might be net lower, but not by enough to matter, and the system is still overall warmer than its long term average.

In the eye of our creators, we are all donuts.

Look, we can more than one here, m’kay?

Smoking a small brisket this weekend, having some friends over. Kinda stoked for it.

How bout u?

Seems to be the AskLemmy community, and you’ve already found us!

Just kidding. Also curious about AMA community.

Just kidding again. Not really.

Hey, what’s up?

From the thumbnail you’d think he was wearing Vanceface. Zoom in, remain unconvinced.

It’s a distinction without a difference, I guess.

Plus 1 for a refurb or gently used Dell Latitude series. My daily beater for the last 5 or 6 years has been a pre-2020 Dell Latitude 7390 13". Works really well with the *bian distros I’ve run on it, decent battery life, OK mic and speakers.

I’ve had to replace the battery once, and the keyboard once (which I damaged myself by applying a small amount of Coca Cola).

Refurb ThinkPads are also great, but they have a high resale value.

Helene wrecked some shit, y’all.

Possible replay this weekend, too. Laugh all you like about ‘climate change.’ Storms like this the were “the nightmare scenario” 20 years ago during OEM planning exercises. Katrina & Sandy were both still hypothetical. Now we also have Helene.

Yes, it’s getting worse. No, there’s nowhere to move that’s safe.

I like you. Never change.

Hi!

I’m OK, mostly.

Had some good Chinese takeaway tonight, which was a treat. Ate that while watching my countrymen descend into some kind of froth for dystopic, authoritarian autocracy. That’s kind of a bummer.

I abide. Trying to, anyway

For now.

“Restricted” means the app has been limited by your Android on the amount of data it may transmit/receive as a background app. The app settings assume you’re on a meterd or low-volume data plan, and so they don’t transmit data except when they’re active, or up on your screen.

Their upload/download tallies will still count in your Network accounting. Frankly, your screenshot looks like something I’d expect. Nothing untoward seems to be occurring.

Let those other restricted apps 'run in background" (an app permission) and you’ll see a different picture.

I mean, we’re communicating over the Internet right now, which is pretty cool. Right?

On Lemmy. For now. Things will change. But for now it’s pretty cool. Um.

Hi. :waves:

WTF kind of question is this?

Is it a thing? OK, yeah? A concept of an idea, maybe.

Is it anything approaching moral, ethical or humane? No.
Nooo.
Nope.
Nuh-uh.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

There’s Gradle to crave joke to make here, but deploy keeps failing during dependency checks for humor.

Oh, jeez. I remember reading that book in elementary school!

Thanks for the horrific trip down memory lane, ya bastid. Happy Halloween, too.

Yeah, it was more salacious even that that. I decided not to post the rest.
