Find an alien that’s barely heard of milk. Now explain cheese.
ooterness@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Balatro dev: Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ ratingEnglish29·9 months agoYou’re confusing PEGI (the European games rating body) with ESRB (the American equivalent).
PEGI has ratings 3, 7, 12, 16, and 18, and it gave Balatro the highest rating of 18.
ESRB has ratings E, E10+, T, M, and A, and it gave Balatro the relatively low E10+ rating.
For only $11.99 you can have this:
I am Kenough. I am Kenough. I am Kenough.

Now explain PartialEq, and why it’s mandatory.

ooterness@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What percentage of lead gets washed off the fingers of a typical human after handling lead solder?English5·10 months agoLead-based solder is preferred for high-reliability electronics (space, nuclear, military, etc.) because it’s easier to rework, easier to verify by visual inspection, and it’s not vulnerable to tin whiskers.
ooterness@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What percentage of lead gets washed off the fingers of a typical human after handling lead solder?English241·10 months agoHere’s the relevant safety guides from Stanford and MIT.
In short, if you do a lot of soldering, there are long-term occupational hazards from both lead oxides and rosin. Both guides agree that the main hazards are the fumes (workstation should have a fume extractor or suitable filter) and residue on your hands (wash hands with soap and water before eating).
I couldn’t find any numbers on how much material is removed by washing, but every reference emphasized that soap and water are vitally important.

ooterness@lemmy.worldto memes@lemmy.world•Have you heard about Blue Screen syndrome?English26·11 months agoI saw that happen once in a big presentation.
There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but “cancel” is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.
I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.

Miss Fisher got tired solving all these murders at home, so she goes on a beach vacation. Guess what happens? (It’s murder.)
