I don’t know. Where I work we used to have a guy in upper management that made people stand for meetings because “it was rude for people to sit in his presence.” Thankfully he was finally fired.

I can hear you.

You are right on the efficiency but as others have said working with DC voltages that high is dangerous. That many batteries in series would also be hell to monitor so you are one bad cell away from burning down your house. Generally when working with DC you want to keep it under 50V to avoid electric shock risk.

For powering a home multiple 48V arrays in parallel is the best bet. You can easily find inverters for that voltage and just bumping the voltage up to 48V avoids a ton of losses without risking electeocution or making the system overly complex. 60V and 72V inverters are also readily available but that’s just risking electrocution for minimal additional benefit. You would also want to be using lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePo4) instead of regular lithium-ion batteries. They aren’t quite as energy dense as most lithium-ion chemistries but they are much more safe, much less picky about charging characteristics, and much more long lived. You can get them in 12V cells just like lead acid batteries because they are frequently used to replace lead acid batteries in stationary power storage applications. Depending on the cells you get they can be a pretty much a better drop in replacement for lead acid batteries however it is normally still a good idea to get chargers and inverters designed for them to get the most out of them. That’s because they store much more power than lead acid batteries and unlike lead acid batteries they can be charged just as quickly as they can be discharged.

Pretty sure sorting by hot is also broken right now but that also may just be for posts not comments.

Odds are you can just send a “null” key instead of “.” And it will still work just as well without actually typing anything. I used to do the same thing to keep an application active at my old job. It was nice because even when it was active I could still use the computer like normal without stopping the script.

What the hell reddit? This is r/piracy, we’ve had backup plans on other platforms for ages. Of all the subs to forcibly reopen they do the one with the lowest chance of anyone going back? This has to just be a trial to see how forcibly reopening the front page subs is going to go when they do that.

That happens all the time with spam mail servers which is exactly the same problem beehaw was having. If you set up an email service that hosts spam bots and do nothing about it then the other email services will start blocking it.

Beehaw was being spamed with dick pics and other shit that was actively malicious. They could ban those profiles but then those users just went and made new profiles on lemmy.world or one of the other instances with open signup. Right now Lemmy has limited moderation tools so the only way to perminantly “ban” those users is to defederate with the instances that keep hosting them. They plan to refederate with those instances once better tools are in place to perminantly block users like that.

False. In the US, while you are typically under no legal obligation to help, if you do decide to help you are legaly protected by good samaratan laws. Those laws basically boil down to as long as you are making your best effort to help someone and you are acting within the bounds of your training then you can’t be held responsible for any damage you may cause. The key point is that you’re acting within the bounds of your training. If you see someone choking and stab a pen into their neck like you saw on TV one time then you’re still 100% liable for that. However in situations such as moving someone with a spinal injury out of the road you are still covered; yes you made the wrong choice and likely paralized the person, but you were trying to help someone in danger and doing it in the only way you knew how.

That’s not to say that someone can’t try to sue you. That does happen, but in those situations they are just trying to scare you into settling out of court because odds are the case would be thrown out before it actually got to court anyways.

It’s actually kind of funny you mention that. Police dont have a duty to act but medical professionals do so my state just started requiring all police to have an EMR (aka first responder training). That means that they’re now “medical professionals” and have a legal duty to render aid whenever they are dispatched to a scene. I’m not sure how duty to act overlaps with qualified immunity but now there is at the very least a case to be made whenever they fail to render aid.

There were a lot of really salty cops in my last EMR class so I got to hear all about it.
