The trick is to send a link to the photo or video instead of the actual file. This is also how iPhone users can use FaceTime with people on other platforms.

I think there's a different between being weird and being a weirdo. Weird people can be fun, but you have to watch out for weirdos.

Maybe two. They are fast and bite really hard.

We need hydrogen production because we need emissions free steel, fertilizer, and vehicle fuel. It's also a good way to soak up excess electricity production. Sure, batteries can store energy arguably more efficiently, but they offer no practical benefits beyond that.

I think you are correct that it's the car's fault. I have an MPOW brand Bluetooth adapter that almost always works properly with my phone. I use it in my Mazda 3 that doesn't have Bluetooth built in. My 2017 VW Golf (one year older than the MPOW adapter) does have Bluetooth and it frequently gives me trouble. However, I'm typically able to get the connection to work by disabling then reenabling Bluetooth on my smartphone. Resetting the VW head unit typically doesn't help, which is the opposite of what I'd expect if the problem was with the car. The VW has Android Auto over USB, which I thought would be the end of my Bluetooth woes, but that has enough of its own problems that I just keep putting up with the Bluetooth.

How about a version that successfully connects to my car's sound system right away, every time?

2001 I think. I don't know if this person actually had to leave for legal reasons, either because he broke a bad law or because he was facing real sex crimes allegations, or because he violated a taboo and was chased out. The rumor, as I heard it, was that he was in the middle of a consensual encounter with a young woman when he decided to try some butt stuff and then authorities got involved somehow. I remember him apologizing to the council and resigning, and I distinctly remember that he omitted the reason for it all, as if we all already knew. The rumor didn't make it to me until later.

Okay, district heating with a heat pump makes more sense to me if there are processes that require cooling and can act as the source, like lowering the temperature of treated wastewater before adding it back to a waterway. However, the heat supply for the water treatment plant should still probably come from cogeneration. District cooling with a central heat pump system also makes sense, especially if it eliminates noisy condensers on the sides of buildings.

What about when you don't have excess solar power? People need heat when they need heat, not just on sunny days. So, you'd need a massive battery for that, which has some undesirable implications. Instead, a thermal plant (be it solar, geothermal, or nuclear) can be designed to reliably satisfy heating and electricity demand with excess electricity going to hydrogen production for emissions-free steel, fertilizer, and vehicle fuel.

Nothing wrong with putting nuclear power plant next to where people live and work. They produce good steam for residential and industrial uses.

[-] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work -1 points 4 days ago

I guess this is cool, but even though it's an efficient heat pump it's still a poor use of electricity. It would make more sense to use cogeneration, to use the incidental heat from a thermal power plant, for district heating.

How do I get a split-flap display like these to work with Pixelfed?

I suppose I like Walz, too, but how is it going to feel listening to him trying to justify sending more weapons to Israel?

Anyway, here are a pair of sand fleas my kid and her cousins found at the beach.

My almost six-year-old just asked if Kamala Harris is Calvin Harris's sister. Nope, sorry kid.

Anyway, here's a photo of a tiny clam I found on the beach.

I think the transmission in my 2007 Mazda3 is toast. It had been shifting badly and the AT indicator light turned on the last couple of times I drove it, so decided to try and scan it for error codes. Nothing came up so I thought I would take it around the block. Didn't even make it up the hill before the magic smoke escaped. Fortunately, I was able to roll back home.

Anyway, here's a shot of a pill bug on some stringy stonecrop.

I missed the meteor this week, but at least got to see a combined atmospheric phenomenon this morning at the beach.

HORSESHOE CRAB UPDATE!

I have been recognized by the United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service for participating in the Horseshoe Crab Tagging Program by reporting the tag I found last weekend (https://pixelfed.crimedad.work/i/web/post/715310569850044948)! They sent me a certificate and a pewter pin. Somehow we got so excited about it that we had to take a family photo.

IDF Ordered Hannibal Directive on October 7 to Prevent Hamas Taking Soldiers Captive.

'There was crazy hysteria, and decisions started being made without verified information': Documents and testimonies obtained by Haaretz reveal the Hannibal operational order, which directs the use of force to prevent soldiers being taken into captivity, was employed at three army facilities infiltrated by Hamas, potentially endangering civilians as well.>>
