My boss has a plastic one in his office and I was actually surprised how light it was. A quick search says metal ones can weigh 50 pounds though.

18·1 天前I tried to sanity-test the math here running the same calculations on a 700 kg horse, of which around 50% mass is muscle.
700 kg x 50% = 350 kg
Low:
350 kg x 100 W/kg = 35,000 W
35,000 W / 746 ≈ 47 hp
High:
350 kg x 200 W/kg = 70,000 W
70,000 W / 746 ≈ 94 hp
Despite what the term “horsepower” would seem to suggest, a horse can actually output more than one horsepower. Estimates put peak output of a horse around 12-15 hp. By those numbers, even the low end estimate above is around 3-4x too high. We’re gonna need more dogs.
Yes, it’s called a hysterectomy. Around 600,000 people get them per year in the US, so very common.
12·4 天前Israel said the bombings were in response to an attack in Rafah city that killed a soldier carrying out demolitions there.
Why did you have a soldier carrying out demolitions in Palestine, Israel?
I associate “the war on woke” moreso with DeSantis than Trump.
30·6 天前On the one hand, Vance lacks the cult appeal, so should lose a fair election in 2028. On the other hand, we might not have a fair election in 2028.
As a Floridian, I have to use a VPN for that.
Guess he’ll just have to suffer with his second choice of overcooked steak slathered in ketchup.
Santa Clarita Diet was the last straw for our Netflix subscription.
Irrelevant. Who appoints the US ambassador to the UN?
Pretty close to zero multiplied by billions of people yields results sometimes.
And don’t forget to misgender JK Rowling when you’re asking him for a refund. Misgendering is perfectly acceptable if you disagree with someone’s self-identified gender! /s
By “control the PC” I assume you just mean power on/off. There’s a few ways about this, some with additional hardware, and some can be done without any additional hardware.
- Wake On LAN (WOL) allows you to wake up your computer over the network. Easiest to implement if you have a smart home hub, but can be done without one. Some router admin pages have a tool for this. Doesn’t usually work for shutting down, only waking. Doesn’t require any additional hardware
- Wireless keyboard with a PC power button.
- Physical switch wired in place of (or in parallel with) the original PC power switch.
- USB home theater PC (HTPC or Windows Media Center) remote.
- Remote PC power button key fob. Sometimes comes with a PCIe card or some other device to install in your PC.
- Switchbot or similar IOT device that can be triggered remotely to physically press a button like your PC power button.
Any of these can be set up or modified in a way to be triggered by a bespoke button of pretty much any sort, provided basic electronics and soldering skills. Each has its own pros and cons. I’d look for “normally open momentary switches” or “NO momentary switches.” One of the nicer switches people like to use for this sort of thing are called “anti-vandal switches.”
Personally, I run Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi at home, and I have a widget on my phone’s home screen that triggers a Wake-On-LAN for my desktop PC so I can remote desktop from anywhere my phone has WiFi or cell service.

And sitting right there in the middle is the inspiration for Tim Minchin’s Peace Anthem for Palestine.
11·18 天前I was just thinking about this while watching Solar Opposites the other day. A part of me remembered that Roiland was the VA in season 1, but Korvo’s been British so long now that it’s the default when I think of the character. I can’t even visualize Roiland’s voice for the character anymore.
I’m perfectly fine identifying cars that have proper names, but the mid-luxury brands (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, etc.) eschew names for alphanumeric gibberish. I can’t be arsed to remember all their numbering schemes. And Teslas largely look the same to me unless they look distinctly like a dumpster. I can’t tell an S from a 3, or a Y from an X.
