I played the shit outta Kirby Air Ride as a kid, and honestly Air Riders looks sick. Still not gonna buy a Switch 2 for it, but it's clear the developers looked at what would have been early Mario Kart World development and said what we all said as soon as we saw the trailers: "Yeahhhh no that sucks, we're not doing that."
Sakurai also doing a good job at presenting the new game. Gotta respect anyone who can calmly and thoroughly explain game mechanics as they're happening, while playing the (honestly frantic) game itself. He's also throwing so much low-key shade at Mario Kart World throughout and I'm kinda here for it.

Hamas accepted the ceasefire proposal presented by Egypt and Qatar that would pave the way for negotiations on permanently ending the war on Gaza. The ball is now in Israelās court.
- Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours) - more intuitive for people who use electricity - never the confusion between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' (which is technically megacalories) - you get to feel more like a robot with your 2.5kwh power consumption a day which may feel like validation to some creatures on this fediverse - become powered by cake
A Snickers is about 570Wh, which is like eating a very sizable ebike battery's entire charge in one go.
A Big Mac slightly tops that with about 650Wh. A slice of pizza is about half that with 340Wh.
Meanwhile, fruits like apples/bananas are in the ~100-130 watt-hour oversized twice laptop battery ballpark, and a cup of greek yogurt is about the same, so a big cup of fruit-filled yogurt is still less calories than a big mac or snickers!
A full english breakfast can be over 1kWh! Quickcharge ā”ā”
As much as you're right, it's also less intuitive in daily life. Knowing an egg or slice of bread is about 80-90Wh means I can go 'omg a big laptop battery worth power', 324kJoules is very arbitrary there if you don't use it much.
This is also a half-joking post, like, I'm not going to argue to replace anything currently used in science because as far as I can tell most sane scientists use the correct SI units for research papers
@cinebox@masto.hackers.town maybe, but I unironically can relate more to an egg or slice of bread being about a large laptop battery worth energy (90wh), than whatever '78kcal' is :laughcry:
tried pushing a big mac into my computer once an hour but it pretty quickly stopped working and the doordash guy started giving me weird looks after the 3rd order
Counter proposal, how about the power utilities start using snickers-bar-equivalents (SBE) when they send me the monthly efficiency reports. Or maybe let me choose my snack of choice?
(Not that I believe little actions to reduce energy usage on my part are going to save the glaciers or whatever, but it would be hilarious.)
But there's still the question though of calorie-to-electricity conversion efficiency... (disclaimer I am *not* a bioengineer nor a physics researcher or anything like that who would possibly know anything about anything like that.) (But still as a layman I do wonder.)
Counter-counter-point: What if we start measuring food-energy levels using Horsepower...
"My Snickers bar has 0.76 Horsepower!" *Munch-munch!*
bigmac eaten in 5 minutes gives you ā European 1-phase socket power (rated at 32A) And today I ate Snickers in less than a minute, which is the whole three phases
become an si nerd, use joules. It's hard to tell which countries use joules and which use calories, all I can find is US/CA/ID/IN using kcal, CN/JP using kJ, and EU/GB/SG/AU/NZ using both.
Hm. Interesting. How many Cheeseburger would I need to eat for 36kWh? I want to know if I can beat my #EV at quick charging (Ā½h). Or I could convert the EV efficiency to Cheeseburger/100km or miles/Cheeseburger (which doesn't feel more wierd then the other imperial units).
But have you considered: the microton of TNT equivalent? Itās ā¢ unambiguous: the ātonā in āmicrotonā refers to metric tons by definition; ā¢ 1 Ī¼t = 1 kcal, so only the units need to be changed on packaging; ā¢ familiar: ktās and Mtās of TNT equivalent are familiar quantities for people au fait w/ global affairs (they haunt their dreams); ā¢ consistent: mankind is put on a level footing w/ other massively destructive forces
the problem is, most peoples' bomb calorimeters measure in Celsius which is a doddle to convert to calories š¤· so we'd either have to do more maths or couple some kind of Seebeck generator and a multimeter š¤
I'd rather redefine the Celcius scale TBH, the phase changes of water at atmospheric pressure have always seemed too arbitrary for my liking anyway.
Counterpoint: kWh is also not an SI unit and we already have the Joule = 1 watt-second. (kWh = 3.6 Megajoule). Hours are a silly unit that introduce weird factors of 6. European packaging already lists energy in kilojoules as well.
We should do the same with kWh instead of liters for selling fuel, because ultimately this is what we're after when burning it.
- comparable what goes into the car and gets consumed for heating - comparable between electric and nonelectric cars - comparable *to yourself* when combined with your proposal
Of course, we should also stop needing fossil fuels, but this is another story. Which, I think, could be accelerated if it would become clear what we're doing.
This is awesome, and might finally do away with the nonsense that the energy released when burning stuff in a test tube has any bearing to how it behaves in your body.
TL;DR: I WILL RETURN TO STREAMING BY THE END OF THE YEAR IF POSSIBLE.
My streaming was slowing down because of health issues caused by high stress that nearly killed me. After leaving the mountains and moving in with family I had to stop streaming because it was causing problems since they disagreed with my views.
I am currently working to get a place of my own in my hometown and start making a living working fulltime and streaming regularly again. I have plenty of stories to share from the craziness that has happened over the time I was gone and want to share that all with all of you.
Streaming has been incredibly fun and rewarding and has allowed me to meet a lot of people I'm proud to call friend. Both them and the chat have helped me through the toughest time of my life, and I sincerely say thank you and appreciate that from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for all your support and everything you've helped me to accomplish.
Needing a bud/cuck who wants to be my cute girl, and serve this BWC. You can look like any of your favorite goon sluts, or any of mine. Also down to roleplay.
I am 99% sure that Farcaster pays attractive women to Insta post on it and they all do it until the contractual duration expires then they go back to Tiktok
they actually signed my favorite aoe2 streamer to facebook when that was a thing at first to a year and a half long exclusive deal or something and he just told chat "look guys, they're offering me high six figures. I wanna buy my parents a house. ill be back on twitch" then he came back as soon as the contract was up
you know why rich people are evil? they buy liquid handsoap, and those are always built to not quite reach the bottom of the container despite being a custom mold. and these rich people just wont want it down and use a bit more, they'll buy a new one, see? i tell you, its EVIL
@captain_arepa @Suiseiseki @hj yeah but i mean like real communism not a socialist state which i do think is utopian but that should be irrelevant the ideology fits there
@Suiseiseki @hj Ironically enough, communism wouldn't enable FOSS the same way capitalism does, just like communism wouldn't be a thing at all without capitalism.
@captain_arepa @Suiseiseki @hj how so do you think that? i think neither capitalism nor socialism can exist isolated where the other exists, like socialism gives us our cheap labor in many cases or whatever else. you cant have these in vacuums if theres anything else out there. but i think both are interdependent and both need not be
Several posts on social media allege that Dutch police have arrested an Israeli soldier and a major general. However, in both cases, the pictures show the arrest of other people in different countries.
Spanish NGO @civio recent investigation reveals the case of #QuantusSkin, an AI system for early detection of skin cancer. The Basque Health Service, Osakidetza, plans to roll it out in 2025, promising faster diagnoses.
But the reality is alarming: Quantus Skin misses nearly 1 in 3 melanoma cases, and was trained almost entirely on images of white patients. For people with darker skin, that means even less accuracy, delayed treatment, and a higher risk of deadly outcomes.
Would you agree that #ArtificialIntelligence should not discriminate? The case of #QuantusSkin shows that it can be deadly when systems fail to work for all people. To prevent this from happening, we need better education, more research, and clear rules for the use of algorithms.

its one of those things thats been SO overused as a culture war talking point that when you do you see it again finally its like holy shit this is the one thing they've ever talked about thats actually that bad but you dont notice it because it just blends into the idpol every brown person is forced diversity crap
Today in Labor History August 19, 1909: The first edition of the IWWās The Little Red Songbook was published in Spokane, WA. The bookās subtitle is āSongs to Fan the Flames of Discontent.ā Between 1909 and 1995, the Wobblies printed 36 editions. The songbook always includes songs by Joe Hill, Ralph Chaplin, T-Bone Slim, and Haywire Mac. Most editions contained many of the best-known labor songs, like "The Internationale," "The Preacher and the Slave," and "Solidarity Forever." Haywire Mac, composer of the āBig Rock Candy Mountainā and āHallelujah Iām a Bum,ā was one of the original members of the IWW band, in Spokane, in 1907. Mac later participated in the anarchist Magonista Revolution in Baja California, helping to capture and occupy Tijuana. He eventually settled down in San Francisco, where he hosted working-class radio and television programs.
im drunk come join me one day im gonna go to finland again eventually (for personal reasons and to visit some friends) and if you dont drink with me... wow, i though we were halfway to mutuals
CĆ³mo me ha alegrado ver a este youtuber que sigo hablar de la propuesta de #ChatControl de la #UE, en un vĆdeo corto y directo, pero que explica de forma sencilla los peligros de esta ley contra la privacidad disfrazada de "es que nadie piensa en los niƱos!?".
Estamos entrando en una era donde la privacidad ya no existe. Con leyes como la Online Safety Act en Reino Unido y la propuesta de Chat Control en Europa, lo...
I was once in an ER, critically ill and likely to die, struggling to remain conscious. I found peace and serenity at that time, and discovered that in the moment of truth I was not at all afraid of or even a believer in any level in the Christian Hell that Iād once been terrified of.
In a very real way coming to terms with dying probably saved my life by reducing the strain on my heart. Trump should work on coming to terms with death rather than trying to bargain his way out of it.
I read a claim that Netflix was targeting phone users for directing new shows but I have been watching Netflix with my wife on my phone the last several nights and frequently things are put onscreen that I cannot read because it's too small on a phone so I think it's giving them too much credit.
people have really absurdly large phones now. reminds me of the guy in highschool who used a tablet as his phone. anyways, i dont doubt that most netflix watchers use their phone, but why? why would you subject yourself to that when you cant even make out the details? it would save them so much money and be so funny if they refused to stream in high definition to phones
i haven't been on enough trains in my life tbh but longer transit like trains planes wtv. i just watch things on a laptop or listen to music on phone, i listen much more. america is the worst for trains i cant find any excuse to take one here especially if its like visiting far away because you cant take ur car and what are you gonna do when u get there in america? i was going to make some point here but i forgot what it was
no they read subtitles way more than the rest actually like its a documented phenomenon, zoomer subtittles or i forget the name, basically cuz of like audio being too mono and harder to hear after typical processing nowadays plus also iirc something more generational i cant remember apparently zoomers struggle watching things witthout subtitles if they want to hear at all ive been like that but since i was a little kid so i think its different i just have bad hearing in general i went deaf several times as a kid

@sun @hj how do I link that to a bank account and will they let me link it to a bank account from saipan? I lost access to my coinbase when i moved here lol
@sun @hj ive been working on a way to take the like 70 dollars in shitcoins i have out of where i have them but i have to keep emailing customer support and im thinking about ust using a vpn because i never like told the government i moved here. my cashapp still lists me in the USA and thats the only reaason i can use it out here lmao
do territories not count as america for financial law? if so that sucks you should dodge sanctions and transfer ur fiat-crypto with binance, not that i would, thats like super illegal for an american ciitzen to do sanctioned transactions
Bubsy is back and now in more dimensions than ever? Maybe not... but get ready anyway because it's still called Bubsy 4D. Bubsy comes to Switch, Switch 2, Xb...
