Skinny homes are just mobile homes cut in half and stacked. With the added benefit of losing floorspace to stairs.

Reply to comment by FrozenKyrie in eli5 perpetual motion is impossible but why haven't we made something that just goes on for a really long time that we then service so it can keep going? by FrozenKyrie
We have, but lobbyists have convinced politicians that it (nuclear power) is unsafe and that we are better off using fossil fuels.
Sure,there have been a few nuclear disasters. We should not view those as acceptable, I am not saying that. But fossil fuel use has harmed humanity on a much larger scale.

Normally I hate terms like "up cycling", but going from containing Bud to containing piss is definitely a step up for something.

Reply to comment by _AlreadyTaken_ in CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,460% since 1978: CEOs were paid 399 times as much as a typical worker in 2021 by sillychillly
My point is, that is very difficult to do. Probably by design. You can try to put some sort of limit on pay and to accommodate for all compensation, but you will never be successful. People make careers out of figuring out how to circumvent those types of rules.

Lots of CEOs are paid $1 annually. Just one example of how the rich will always be able to pay accountants to figure out loopholes while the poor suffer.

Reply to Raspberry Pi launches higher resolution camera module, now with autofocus | Alongside the company’s Camera Module 3, it’s also releasing a new module for use with M12-mount lenses. by chrisdh79
Yeah I'd prefer it if they would just focus on producing Raspberry Pi boards. Everyone hates console and graphics card scalpers, but Pi scalpers are a huge problem too. It's been nearly impossible to buy a Pi at MSRP for years now.

What if I told you that (besides wireless charging) that every charger forever has been a contact charger?
In any case, smart watch is a good cover.

Reply to comment by killerklixx in TIL Sigmund Freud made the decision to flee Austria after his daughter Anna was interrogated by the Gestapo for nearly 12 hours. He was able to buy safe passage out of Austria just in time with 31,000 Reich marks in 1938 by Ok_Copy5217
Keep that in mind when people say "well why didn't the Jews just leave Germany before the Holocaust?"

Isn't every day "sugar daddy and mommy appreciation day" ? I though that was kinda the entire point.
