acockworkorangeto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•China auto industry inflates sales by exporting new cars as 'used' [and the government is well aware, but shows no intention to stop it]1·7 hours agoDidn’t we have an article in this community stating the Chinese government was trying to curb the behavior?The practice only gained national attention after the boss of Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor criticized the sale of zero-mileage used cars within China in May. On June 10 the People’s Daily newspaper condemned the sale of zero-mileage used cars domestically.
It was an automaker criticising it.
acockworkorangeto Science•New device converts plastic waste into fuel using catalyst-free pyrolysis1·8 hours agoThis is awful. Of you’re going to convert trash to energy, use a high temperature trash incinerator thermoelectric plant, much more efficient.
You can’t use that excuse for the last election though.
There’s no bro in the dialogue though. There’s bird.
This is the way.
It is the best but for one fault: both 120V and 240V versions are compatible.
Otherwise, it’s got every single technical advantage of F (Schuko), while being cheaper to manufacture and install.
Without a ground the only way to trip a GFCI is through your body. GFCI is great, but not infallible. I’ll keep my grounds.
Brazil just set a date limit after which no electrical equipment was allowed to be sold with non standard plugs. Eventually it all worked itself out.
Type N socket accepts type C plugs. And is clearly the superior choice. The IEC doesn’t fuck around.
Where is that paradise?

Solid Content
A salad must be mostly composed of solid content.
This definition sounds reasonable, but it turns out the devil is in the details of how you define “mostly”. At what point have you poured in so much balsamic vinaigrette that something stops being a salad?
R: 40% by volume. At this point it’s no longer a salad, it’s vinaigrette, a subset of soup.
That’s awesome! Fantastic handle on proportions.

acockworkorangeto Trippin' Through Time@lemmy.ca•Children have always been childrenEnglish14·1 day agoI love these kinds of photographs. Even better is when we find archaeological evidence of familiar behavior tens of thousands of years ago. We humans haven’t really changed since Homo sapiens first came to be, despite all our cultural layers.
