Orange iris at the Denver Botanic Gardens
  • Love the Denver Botanic Gardens! We have an annual family and friends membership that lets us in with a group of up to 6, and it's a great value (even with the recently raised prices). Great place to wander around for a while

  • Capitalism is the paywall of life
  • It's not so much that Nikola Tesla discovered AC as much as he figured out how to make use of it. I believe generators give alternating current by default as they spin around, but they'd use commutators to convert it to DC.

    Source: saw one of those Discovery Channel shows.

    Either way, Tesla was a brilliant engineer, but it shouldn't take much to understand that it takes energy (that has to come from somewhere) to produce electricity. That money has to come from somewhere, and I wouldn't want to see a gigantic factory or mansion or whatever paying the same amount (even if $0) compared to some grandmother in Vermont keeping the lights on.

  • What app is everyone using for Lemmy
  • It could use some UI/UX work though. For example, if I want to go to a comment I replied to from my profile, rif had a handy button to show my comment with context. On Jerboa I need to go to my comment with a couple unintuitive taps, then the context of that comment with another button that doesn't really feel like it's in the right place.

    I'll give it time to develop though

  • Is numlock key actually useful?
  • Right, but do you ever turn num lock off? I think the OP was trying to say it should just be stuck on because why would you use those arrow, home/end/pg up/etc buttons that kick in if num lock is off?

  • What was "The Incident" at work that caused an exodus in the work force?
  • That's not true. How do you suppose people work outside in most summer climates? There are rules regarding water availability and such, but no outright prohibitions on working above a certain temperature.

    Hell, I keep my AC set at 78F because it takes the edge off but is easy on my energy bill.
