If you want to save time, money, and water, one of my favorite venues has toilets that have sinks on top of them so the water used to wash hands is collected in the tank as grey water to flush the toilet.

My partner did this just recently. I just handed the phone to them with Lemmy open and said “he saw you”. :D

That sounds likes fascinating project. I Iove it when people do interesting projects instead of taking the low hanging topics like everyone else.

Minus the thing about pumping freezing air into a computer where it will condense and fry everything, is there a reason other than the noise why a big fan like this couldn’t effectively cool a computer?

Yup, the Yeti and my ages old DSLR are the only remaining mini-usb devices in my home. I thought it was the other way around though. I thought mini was fragile and micro was smaller and stronger. I may have been wrong.

In any case, did you ever see the microUSB cables that could be inserted either way? I don’t think it was ever standards compliant, but my chosen USB cable supplier at the time did this and it’s was my favorite micro cable for years until it died.

My current frustration is devices that appear to be usb-c, but will only charge if the other end is usb A. Usually when you are on a trip with only USBC to USBC. :‘’'-(

I’m all on board with parking our cars I’m a giant garage at the edge of town and riding bikes everywhere. I hate driving in traffic.

Two lanes or one will fit through a 1 lane naroowed section in a perfectly optimized way at the same speed. 1 lane cab only carry “x” cars per second. But by putting the merge at the choke point, we end up with gaps when people hit the brakes to let the other lane in and don’t accelerate at the same speed. I lane with 10 ft gaps between cars might get through a bit faster because a perfect merge with 10 ft gaps isn’t going to happen. Basically, its the Nagel-Schreckenberg effect except everyone gets stuck slowing to 15mph at the merge instead of merging early and possibly oinng through the restriction faster without issue.

Having said that, there’s no mechanism to enforce early merging other than being a good driver (or the unsung hero’s who straddle both lanes to prevent cutting). I’ve given up. If no one else will drive properly, then why shouldn’t I drive to the very front and push my way in? I’m just punishing myself by doing it the better way because it requires everyone to participate.

Eventually, we can avoid this by using dynamic signs on a gantry over the road to close/open the lane way ahead of time depending on flow and how far back the line goes.
