As mentioned in the article these can be quieter than a retail unit. The large fans move a lot of air and the large filter area means it’s easier to pull that air through; both combined mean a lower fan speed is needed for a given throughput.

HEPA filters may not be necessary - it seems that homemade air purifiers with standard filters can outperform them in clean air delivery rate, arguably the most important factor for a purifier. The air may not be as clean with each pass through it, but it’ll move much more air.

Are single-sex dorms a thing over there? Ours were always mixed with unisex bathrooms - stalls for everyone.

As someone who’s not used these things, what’s wrong with a basic handshake to establish the comms channel?

“Hey, are you listening?”

“Yes, go ahead.”

…

Isn’t that all this really is?

Seems a weird thing for people to be uptight about.

Thanks!

I missed the site wide rules.

Yeah, that sort of rule requires a lot of faith in the moderators. Seems like they’re probably violating it themselves with their moderation.

Perhaps I don’t really understand - looking at the world news community on lemmy.ml rule 1 seems to be about only posting links to news articles. None of the things on the mod log screenshot look like news articles. Isn’t this the mods doing their jobs correctly?

The OP’s situation seems completely different to this and it’s definitely a problem - what am I missing about the rule 1 stuff though?

Can confirm. The rosellas were delightful. The Ibis were pretty awesome as well -such a trashy looking bird. Ours at least hides its shame (kiwi).

Almost entirely digital now. As for why:

• backlight
• font size adjustment
• built in dictionary
• local library closed for a few years
• lighter/better form factor than most books I read

I find I buy far more books now that I have an e-ink reader.

Have you considered moving somewhere that’s better aligned with your values? It’s not something to undertake lightly, but I know that moving helped me a lot. Totally different situation for me though.

For me it was basically just moving somewhere bigger, even if I didn’t get much better at making connections just knowing it was possible made a difference.

Good luck to you.

They’re just pointing out that Windows does this too.

Does xfreerdp with the /multimon flag not do this?

That’s kinda cool - I’d never heard of the alternate meanings. It’s always been something along the lines of “at your own expense” here.

In my last couple of jobs I’ve found that most of the software required for work is either available as a web app or runs just fine on Linux. There have only been a handful of users needing Windows to do their jobs. It all depends on what your role is.

Sometimes it pays to not go looking for problems.

The staff at such places can decide whether they want to ask a group to move on. Respect their choice to do so and stop trying to police your friends’ behaviours over your own fears.

Sure, but you’re not likely to be doing much of either without owning one 🙂 I’d be surprised if a gun owner allowing someone else to store or transport their guns isn’t in breach of their license as well.

The strictness really only applies to gun ownership though - if you just want to shoot there’s plenty of places you can do that.

You’ll come across good and bad wherever you travel. When we travelled in Japan a few years ago we found pretty much everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful. We didn’t speak any Japanese.

I wouldn’t bother renting a car unless you’ve got a specific plan for it - their public transit is excellent and will still take you out into the countryside if you want.
