Asphalt Batch Mix Plant： After being poured into suitable hoppers according to the particle size, the cold aggregates are conveyed by a conveyor belt to a vibrating screen, where the cold aggregates with particle size larger than 4 cm are filtered out, and other cold aggregates are sent to the drying drum by a diagonal belt conveyor. Hot aggregates enter the elevator from the burner end of the drying drum after being dried and heated. With its help, hot aggregates reach the vibrating screens. Depending on the size of the mesh, hot aggregates are sieved to different silos. Through accurate weighing, the hot aggregates in different silos are batched into the mixer according to the ratio designated ahead. At some time, the mineral powder also falls from the screw conveyor, and the heated liquid bitumen also sprays from the nozzle. After mixing, the finished mixture is produced one batch by another. Asphalt Drum Mix Plant：The drying drum of the continuous asphalt plant has functions of drying, heating, and stirring. The cold aggregates go into the non-stop rotating drum from the hoppers via a conveyor belt, in which cold aggregates are dried and heated in sequence. The nozzle in the drying drum continuously sprays the bitumen, and the mixture comes out unintermittedly with the drum rotating. Clickhere to view more information on this topic

Yeah, the short of it is that it used to be used clinically to describe developmental disorders but fell out of use around the mid-90s because, like so many other words, it was used maliciously to the point where it lost its original meaning and context.
If you were a 90s kid, retard and gay were as close as you could get to actually swearing without getting in trouble and basically carried the same cultural weight as outright slurs. The stigma around being gay was so bad that in the 2000s they made up a sexuality to describe men who were straight but liked to shower and dress in nice clothing so that they wouldn't lose their jobs. And the stigma around mental needs little explanation, I think. It wasn't that long ago that they were electrocuting people and cutting out parts of their brains for being sad or having a stutter.
Journalism in the US is dead. Being shocked or angry at anything the news does or doesn't say at this point is in "fools me twice, shame on me" territory.
You'd be better off asking Days of Our Lives to weigh in.
We can all collectively thank Reagan, among other terrible things we have to deal with today due to his administration, he is also responsible for the state of news media in the US in 2025. Previous to Reagan we had a policy called The Fairness Doctrine, it was a policy introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints. Broadcasters could show opposing viewpoints via option pieces, news segments or talk shows, but if they reported on one side they were required to show the other.
In 1987 under Reagan the FCC abolished the Fairness Doctrine. Broadcasters were no longer required to air apposing viewpoints of controversial topics. This has directly lead to the echo chambers that you see in the news media today.
The unprovoked attacks on Iran were not that successful but it sent a clear message to Iran that the US and Israel are lawless rabid dogs, and that it would, in fact, be safer to be nuclear armed because bullshit like this wouldn't happen.
How many times has the US bombed North Korea since they acquired nukes?
The US and Israel are violent nation that make the world less safe. I know it's a fools hope but I'm hoping some of those spineless Europeans step up and accelerate the reduction of US hegemony.
Are sanctions just for Black-led and brown-led countries? Y'all still white supremecist, Europe?

So I am playing through Paper Mario TTYD on my Switch for the first time. I never played these games growing up, and while I kinda enjoyed the Super Mario RPG remake for its quirkiness, I strongly believe that if you don’t have specific nostalgia for it, it just doesn’t hit the same.
TTYD is great. It’s so fun and captures a sense of adventure, with big swings from light hearted comedy into some dark territories. I was not expecting that, but I absolutely was not expecting just how horny everyone seems to be for Marty-o!
All the ladies swoon and mention how manly he is, commenting on his moustache. I was not expecting this coming from a Nintendo game. It’s pretty funny and I love it!

It will be my OPNsense router for my new business location. I very much enjoy piecing together old hardware to make something useful or interesting.
The chassis is a salvaged Barracuda BSF200a appliance. Stripped most of what was in there out, leaving the power supply. Replaced the motherboard with Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI - this was chosen due to the dual GbE network ports.
Low profile cooler (heatsink) came from a SuperMicro motherboard combo that I ordered from ebay. Kingston 120GB SSD came from local recycling.
Processor is i3-3220T - a lower power option than the processor that I originally got with the motherboard.
Blower fan is from a Dell Optiplex SFF machine, placed upside down, cushioned with foam and hot-glued in place.
It is a thoroughly custom solution built from parts I acquired from many sources.
Steve Witkoff: “We put 12 bunker buster bombs on Fordow. There's no doubt that it breached the canopy...and there's no doubt that it was OBLITERATED. So, the reporting out there that in some way suggests that we did not achieve the objective is just completely preposterous!”
Stuck with MS Teams at $DAYJOB, I continue to hold onto the thick-client instead of succumbing to the heavy-weight web client.
Just about every time I switch to the app after a couple hours of not using it, it pops up a "This is unsupported" interruption with a link to learn more, HUGE, colorful "Try it on the web" button, and a smaller light "continue using this antiquated unsupported piece of junk" type button.
As if that wasn't bad enough, as dark patterns go, when you tab through the controls, focus lands on the "more information" link and on the "try it on the web" button, but the "continue using this" simply won't focus with the keyboard. You HAVE to reach for the mouse to click the "continue using this"
Have I mentioned how much I loathe using MS products, and Teams in particular?
@lety Its that time again. New Jurassic Park movie coming out, I'm already seeing doctor pepper cross promotion stuff in the super market. As you're the only other person I know who owns nearly as much weird dr pepper jurassic park merch as I do, I figured I'd let you know.
Its so weird. I'm not sure why, but during the press cycle for Jurassic world fallen kingdom, my mom ended up with a whole bunch of like, jurassic world + dr pepper shirts. I already wear almost exclusively jurassic park clothes so i loved it. When I saw you doing those jurassic world dr pepper vids I laughed so hard.

Now that I think about it, no Gouf in Gquuuuuux except that red one at the end which I presume belonged to a Char that got obliterated by Amuro in another universe
@poopernova I want the next G Gen game to have all of those multiversal Char units (mostly because Red Big Zam sounds hilarious for characters who get bonuses in Red units)
@supersid333 Pretty funny how no matter what Char had, Amuro beat him each time, he even got a Galbaldy and a Sazabi and still got his shit kicked in each time
Far from abating or slowing down, the mass slaughter, displacement and engineered starvation of the besieged Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip has continued at full throttle since Israel began attacking Iran two weeks ago.
But instead of this issue taking centre stage the deliberate destruction of Gaza has been reduced, at best, to a passing statistic tallying daily deaths.
The ongoing daily slaughter and starvation of Palestinians in the besieged territory continues every day, as Netanyahu attempts to shift the world's focus to Tehran

So, a few months back, someone posted about using #biochar as an ingredient in seed starter. It seems biochar has a lot of potential good uses -- including #PFAS remediation!
"This project aims to investigate whether biochar can be used as a soil amendment to immobilize PFAS in the soil and reduce its bioaccumulation in the edible parts of vegetable crops, such as lettuce and tomatoes. The study will address several key questions: the optimal application rate of biochar in the soil, the frequency with which additional biochar should be applied after the initial amendment, and low-cost modification techniques to enhance biochar's ability to adsorb short-chain PFAS from the soil. This research will involve both laboratory and field studies. The findings will contribute to developing practical guidelines for farmers on the use of biochar in PFAS-affected soils."

Hello! I posted yesterday asking questions about which distro to pick, so first of all, thank you to everyone who responded. I wanted to thank you all there but lit cafe is down, so I'm on my other lemmy acc and can't edit that post. As you can tell from the title, I ended up picking Kubuntu, mostly because the touchpad didn't work on Mint (thank goodness I have a mouse handy) and Kubuntu has a nice little welcome walkthrough that made exploring it really easy and comfortable. So I went to install it, but I'm confused about this part of the installation. For reference I'm doing this on a Lenovo Ideapad and it has "128GB eMMC and 256GB PCIe." (honestly I don't exactly know what the PCIe means). There's two options for storage devices at the top. The prior picture is with the first storage device selected. The following picture is with the second storage device selected. Are there two options because there's technically two different hard drives in the laptop? Does it matter which one I choose? And I have no idea if I should erase disk (there's literally nothing on this laptop, so no worries about deleting documents or pictures) or do a manual partition? And if so, how do I do a manual partition because even if I click that I don't seem to be able to do anything (also what does manual partition mean)? And would Kubuntu take up all the storage space on the drive like it looks like it will? Because that would be a problem?
I had a lot of fun checking out the distros and trying out all of the customization options in Kubuntu and taking a look at everything in the software center, but I'm starting to feel like this might be too advanced for me. I'm sick of windows, but maybe I should just not risk messing with operating systems I don't understand? (Also I really hope those screenshots don't doxx me or something)
Thanks for the encouragement! After I got it working I was showing my family all the cool customization options like making windows have an explode effect when you close them. It’s fun so I’m really glad I didn’t give up!
