RE: Internet of shit
@Gurth
From https://momentumwatch.com/blogs/momentum-blog/how-are-watches-water-pressure-testedFor water pressure testing our watches, we use the special machines that can waterproof test a watch without getting it wet. We use the Witschi ALC2000 tester. This machine uses compressed air and an extremely sensitive sensor to measure minute fluctuations in the watchβs size under high pressure, which will tell us whether a watch is water-tight.

These guys:

Like, sir, I have no fucking clue who you are or why I'm being cold called out of nowhere. Follow your script that you should have before I block a legitimate business!
If they are cold calling, they arn't a legit business.

RE: The Cooking Thread
The Scientist seems to have a misunderstanding of microwaves (or perhaps it is just bad journalism, a real toss-up there). Either way, not a single mention of sous-vide, which is curious.

RE: I, ChatGPT
Most chicken breeds (especially the kind bred for their meat) are not able to sustain flight. So no, they really can't.

Iβll bet you 50 bucks this is bullshit.
For one, smart phones have no intersection with quantum computers.Has anyone actually done anything with quantum or is it all still theoretical and snake oil?
Done things? Most certainly. They are still in Quantum Coding 101 but they have 'hello world' working. So it is more than snake oil but it is far from hype fulfilling, so far.

Few years ago we leased some of our land to a Cider company for an apple orchard (the spot had been an apple orchard ~50 years ago, but only a few of the trees were left). They were augering holes for the trees and breaking a lot of shear pins (we are in the foothills of the Rockies on an ancient flood plain, there are rocks) . So many that they grew tired of replacing them every 10 minutes and decided to switch to a stronger steel. They sheared the drive shaft off the motor after about an hour.

@JBert the first three aren't that scary, but the last one might mean you're fucked.
IME with more modern cars the check engine light is the least scary as 99% of the time it is some damn sensor failing.

@topspin I think cilantro tastes weird, but good. Sometimes I wonder if I just like the taste of soap.
Try tasting soap and see? !
Just stay away from 'Lifebuoy' I hear it is poisonous.

RE: βπ THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
I know that Denver Children's hospital reviews all the names submitted, mostly to avoid obviously offensive names or ones based on cultural misunderstanding (lots of foreign patients).
My sister has relayed a bunch that have been questioned but the only two that I can recall right now are 'Malaria' and 'Urine'. Both were non-english speakers not understanding what those words ment they just liked the sound of them.
