    I’m still amazed that people just accept this.

    What happens, if you are ill for a longer? You can’t just work ethic an illness away.

    And it’s also stupid from the company’s perspective. If someone has the flu and you have them come in - well - everyone will be sick and everyones performance will suffer.

    Who thought this is acceptable, let alone a good idea?


  • I have “the aura”. And although I don’t know what that means, I’ve started asking anyone who asks me if I’m actually gay, what leads them to that assumption.

    The current top picks are:

    I look put together, I care about hygene, I clean my home, I’m usually friendly, I look happy.

    Like… their assumption is correct. But when did caring for oneself become a sign of the big gay? What are straight people doing?!


  • If you have south or west facing windows:

    Metallized privacy films have made a big difference in my home. For heat protection, they should be the weather resistant kind and applied to the outside of the window. (They should be removable without leaving any residue)

    If you want to try this method out first: Stick a few space blankets in front of the windows. Looks like shit, but it’s a cheap way to test whether this method might work for you.


  • Why is everyone in this thread Richard Byrd?

    Most people I know wear t-shirts at home in winter and heat up the house to compensate, wasting energy. This meme is clearly aimed at them.

    If you live in arctic conditions, then you probably already wear more than a shirt, even at home. If not, then feel adressed as well.

    And to the many people who are currently raising their babies at home: Scandinavian practices be damned. I understand that it’s not too practical to regularly wrap up your baby so that they can withstand freezing conditions. Fine. Turn up the damn thermostat. You already have a screaming infant at your hands.

    Everyone else: stfu.




  • 1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg. 1kg (of anything) is 1000g. 1g of water is 1cm³. Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column. This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. To heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal. And 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

    I’ve posted this before on my mastodon, and on feddit.de, before the instance was shut down, but I think it’s still a nice showcase how SI units interact with one another.

    The worst thing we have in the metric system is kWh/1000h. It’s just watts, but whoever designed the energy labels thought a bunch of zeros would be funny or something.
