Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Website costs should be part of your internet billEnglish
1·10 days agoMultiple HTTP requests can be performed over a single connection, and not all connections are for HTTP requests in the first place. The only way to know that an HTTP request is being made (or how many) is to actually see the requests.

10·24 days agoPolling suggests that around 70% of women and 50% of men support abortion, though. If those stats simply reversed then nothing really changes.

I started using a white noise machine and fans on high when I lived down the block from a hospital emergency room. It sounded like a jet engine in my bedroom, but my brain learned to interpret the white noise as profound silence. I moved away from the hospital zone but still use the white noise to sleep.

2·1 month agoI’m curious how it’s considered a “layoff” if it’s based on performance rather than the job itself being eliminated.

Motherboard/CPU: ~5 years (currently: 6.5 years)

I had hoped to do a new build last year, but it’s just too expensive. For now I’m planning to use what I have until it breaks.
Wouldn’t air travel account for more transcontinental passenger traffic than cars or trains?
The correct technical term is magic smoke.
Not the wrong way either.

AFAIK California doesn’t require a license for ebikes.
“Expressed greater intent to commit rape”
I would really like to know how they measured this. I get the feeling that the men being studied didn’t come out and state, “yes, I have a greater intent to rape” on a survey or something. The researchers must have been using something as a proxy for “intent to rape”.
I’d also like to see the stats for how many of the men have actually raped someone. For example, if 86% are rated as “more likely to rape” after watching porn, but 99.9% don’t rape anyone, then that would suggest there is no correlation between porn and rape.
