I live in the EU now, coming from the US. The US is almost comically backward. The effectiveness of its propaganda is incredible, that the people living there really don’t know what the rest of the world is like. Yes, I have been to Mexico. I’ve also been to towns in northern New Mexico where the majority of the population doesn’t have electricity or phone service. I’ve been to countries where much of the population lived in poverty, but most of them they still had phones at least. I’d say the US is currently just above mid tier from the perspective of median income vs cost of living. In the developed countries I’ve been to, even when they have lower incomes, they at least have much lower cost of living to make up for it. The US has got to be the most expensive place I’ve ever spent time in, except maybe Denmark. So yes, income is high, but I doubt seriously that there are many places less affordable for median-income residents, at least in the developed world.
It is probably Chinese junk, but I’m using a set of cudy m3000 WiFi6 mesh devices that run openwrt. Could be worth looking into. They are about as cheap as I’ve seen. There should be WiFi7 versions out nowish /soon.
Wow, that looks almost exactly like my dog. Except less furry.
Stabbed … or bit?
If it went 621 miles, and 440 was on battery, that means it went 181 miles on solar. Even if that was 4 days, that’s still 45 miles per day on solar. That is an amazing achievement. That’s enough that most people probably would never need to charge except when taking long trips, and would not just be a gimmick at all.
I have a coworker who regularly wears an anti-static wrist strap that he attaches to grounding points on furniture. I’m not quite as staticy myself, so I usually just tap the screw on the light switches when I pass by during high static months. That’s usually grounded.
Well, coming from a new Lemmy user, I just mean the platform, not the software or instance. We’re all federated anyway, right? Maybe I just don’t understand the difference that kbin offers over other Lemmy instances. Is it more? Then again, I’m also not entirely clear on why I need both a Lemmy account and a mastodon account.
Looks to me like you had a delamination. Then it just squirted unconnected plastic after that. Sure you got the temperature right? Nothing might have caused your line to feed incorrectly for a minute? Last time it happened to me it was because there was too much drag on the feed. It had fallen off the bearing onto a screw, which let it keep feeding, but with extra drag.
