She worked full time and after monthly bills, there was $9 left for food
  • The job with the HVAC company came to an end shortly after she posted the video. Her employer told her it had nothing to do with her performance, but was a head office decision due to a downturn in business, she said.

    Sounds more like she was fired for revealing they pay an unlivable wage

  • Fence tester - which resistors?
  • In the Wikipedia page there's this formula

    Just plug in values for the fence voltage and led. You can just set vswitch to 0 and Vled to 2V. It should be fairly insignificant compared to the fence voltage. It should be 10-20mA (0.01-0.02) to not kill the led.

    The root of this is Ohms law: V=IR. Diodes cause a voltage drop rather than directly acting like a resistor which is why it's subtracted from the input voltage.

    Just put them in series. Make 2x, one in each direction to account for AC and DC

  • Has anyone else been reading linked articles more often on Lemmy?
  • Thats not even accounting for all the bots, alts and inactive accounts; it wouldnt surprise me in the least if the majority of those were bots or throwaways. Another benefit of lemmy's setup is that individual servers will be fairly small so theres tons of space for smaller communities with higher quality discussion, even if it does end up causing duplicate communities across instances.

  • What's the age cut off for socially acceptable gaming
  • 200; It's pretty hard to play if you're dead

    Anyone who thinks differently is not for you. People can do almost whatever they want for fun, as long as it's legal. Labeling someone childish because they like something is stupid; what am I going to do, drink all day, go to bars, hike, travel, play sports, do n'th paid activity, etc? Some people have the time, money or health that allows or disallows them to do these things, and some people do or don't have the interest. Tons of people enjoy watching tv shows. Are we supposed to grow out of that too? By that logic, we shouldn't enjoy anything we did as kids and just do things only relegated to adults.

    Id say most people regardless of when they were born think like this unless they themselves play games. It's more socially acceptable amongst the younger generation right now (e.g. college graduates) and probably because they're still considered young. Kids have more free time than adults and the barrier to entry for them is low. Parents often see their kids playing games and in genral have a negative attitude towards them for consuming time. Id say as people go into their 30s and 40s its considered less acceptable because societal expectations are that people will work and get married and have kids by then, and they'd have less time for solo activities. Going to the bar while having young kids or other activities is less acceptable. As kids get older their parents have more time for fun, but playing games is seen as childish because they either see their kids playing or because its something from their own childhood and other ventures that cost money like travel are now available to them when they werent as kids

  • How to properly size a serial bulb for protection when troubleshooting a circuit?
  • Ah. It's not going to be possible to size it because the bulb is then acting as a resistor essentially. Unless you know what the equivalent resistance of the circuit you're testing is, and it draws a fixed current, you aren't going to be able to cap the current; Adding a resistor (or bulb) is just going to drop the input voltage and you will probably end up having other issues

  • How to properly size a serial bulb for protection when troubleshooting a circuit?
  • For this application you should be using a bench power supply with current limiting, not a "serial bulb" (I assume you mean a fuse, which is designed to break at a low current, however these are most typically rated for several amps, not typically in the mA range). You can set the voltage and a current limit. If the current goes beyond the limit, then the power supply will drop the voltage to keep the current below the limit or latch off. You can get a fairly cheap one for about $50-60 off of eBay, which won't be the best but is sufficient for hobby use

  • ‘Scanners are complicated’: why Gen Z faces workplace ‘tech shame’
  • Id wager that they dont put too much money into R&D and just pay one guy to port over the same code from their last last last generation printer to the new one. Over time its become an unrecognizable mess that is just hacked into working and no one ever takes a look under the hood. Their main market is the ink anyways, so making the printer good at what it does is an afterthought

  • Can Lemmy & Kbin interface with eachother?
  • kbin.social might not work because they enabled cloudflare ddos protection during the large migration due to the blackout. This broke federation because the site would hit a landing page with a captcha instead of the actual site when trying to poll the api. Not sure if that's been fixed since.

    In any case, it should work either way if federation is enabled and working.

  • Pls explain me like im five : the issue around lemmy's admins or creators.
  • Lemmy.ml admins are most definitely in agreement with lemmygrad views. They've deleted posts and comments if it could be in any way conceivably anti china, yet allow denial of the Uygur genocide

    People are worried because the tankie ideology they thought would be contained to lemmygrad is spilling over into the enforcement on lemmy.ml

  • What's with the schism between lemmygrad and beehaw?
  • Freedom of speech is from consequences from the government. That means you cannot be prosecuted for insulting politicians for example. But you can certainly be sued in civil court for the same thing.

  • Multiplayer Co-op games

    My friends and I have been exhausting our current library of games and are looking for suggestions. It tends to be pretty hard for us to all meet at the same time. Usually we prefer to do stuff that we can finish in one session on the weekends because one person might have to leave as another person joins. Don't mind if its new or old, but id prefer it not to be $60 if its going to be a 2hr stint

    Games on our current rotation:

    • Civ VI
    • Deep rock galactic
    • CS:GO
    • War thunder

    Don't really play anymore

    • Apex
    • L4D2
    • Payday 2
    • Gmod
    • Day of infamy
    • Insurgency
    • Project Zomboid
    • Foxhole
    • Risk of rain 2
    • Don't starve together
    • Verdun
    • Killing floor
    • Minecraft
    • Terraria
