Chat she craves the unionized factories, we must give her her rightful desires.

I've got hand tremors, and I'm looking for a large tablet that's cheap and reliable. Mostly reading comics, books, browsing, watching videos, and some social like Lemmy. I don't like Apple stuff. in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I own a Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1.

I've used Fedora for years on it, Recently swapping to Fedora Atomic. The only downside is the camera not working.

I got it off EBay with no SSD for like, $320, then the SSD + Keyboard + Pen brought it to $400. (2019/2020) (It is now being sold about $200 altogether in some listings).

I also spent money on a replacement battery a few years later (another $40), accidentally broke the screen (another $50).

It was worthwhile, this laptop, while the CPU is aging, has been enough to power my development, light gaming, and work needs for years.

Fedora with GNOME makes it relatively easy to use with 150% scaling, 200% also works but feels a bit crowded.

You can use waydroid for Android apps, although I do not recall if the touchscreen nputted correctly / consistently for it.

Why didn't oil fired steam locomotives take off? (lemmy.ml)
 

A steam locomotive is known to be able to pull more then any pure combustion engine locomotive. (Uncited)

Why didn't oil fired steam locomotives take off?

This started when I watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hszu80NJ438

During the runtime, it mentioned oil fired retrofits.

I search it up, and found one.

It was an overview video of a modern retrofit, and it seems to not be too difficult to retrofit, even using the same steam blaster to spread the oil in the smoke box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up1UaMVnv4M

It will take me sometime to save enough money, but once I do I am fleeing as well.

Cherry for me, my grandma would always have it and it was always delicious.

I wish I was smarter in that field...

I don't imagine it being the size of a car?

I imagine it being a huge facility, with a steam generator attached utilizing the coolant heat and more.

The pistons would be similar in size to the pistons of a diesel ship.

Take the "Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C" as example.

I searched for the engine briefly, and found no mention of anyone thinking of this.

This post comes from this comment of mine.

In my original comment, I note that I immediately think the strain would blow the entire thing a part.

What are your reasons of why you think would not work, or why no one has tried, or maybe you know someone who did try?

Note, Not the size of a car. More like the size of a cargo ships diesel engine. ("Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C" as an example)

I once drank soylent before going partying, and I didn't have to use the bathroom at all.

That was really good because taking off my outfit to use the bathroom sucks.

Building upon that, if I just kept drinking soylent, I could party non-stop without bathroom breaks.

So how many days can my digestive system, and body, handle being on a soylent only diet?

Will my guts atrophy?

People with long hair, Have you just accepted having your hair hitchhike on your food into your mouth? (lemmy.ml)
 

I have.

It's, just sometimes that occurs when I eat.

Munching for a bit, then hook my finger and pull my hair out.

I can't push my hair back, because it is wavy and demands to be able to flow over my shoulders.

I can't tie it up lest it rebels and consumes the hairband.

I have just learned to accept it. Have you?

What are the reasons to use Signal over Telegram (lemmy.ml)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/25355693

Greetings!

A friend of mine wants to be more secure and private in light of recent events in the USA.

They originally told me they were going to use telegram, in which I explained how Telegram is considered compromised, and Signal is far more secure to use.

But they want more detailed explanations then what I provided verbally. Please help me explain things better to them! ✨

I am going to forward this thread to them, so they can see all your responses! And if you can, please cite!

Thank you! ✨
