Shouldn’t the cube or the strip be most efficient here? Cube, strip, and hexagon all tessellate perfectly, but only cube and strip can pack into a box without leaving a void

Europe@feddit.org•Colored solar panels that mimic tiles roof hit 95% efficiencyEnglish
1073·3 days agoAll this and more, for the low low price of actually reading the article:
It enables complex visual patterns while also retaining approximately 95 percent of the power output of an uncoated module.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the greatest break up song in your opinion?English
5·5 days agoGreatest is hard to nail down, but some songs that I think belong in the conversation:
Måneskin - BLA BLA BLA is pretty unhinged.
Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind isn’t unambiguously a breakup song, but the vibes are right there for me.
Kanye’s a piece of shit but See You In My Nightmares is a banger of a breakup song
Beatles - Yesterday is an all time classic

That’s exactly correct, assuming your sequence is numbers k such that phi(k) divides k+1, where phi is Euler’s totient function

10·12 days agoDragonrot is purely narrative. NPCs won’t die from it, and the only “real” consequence of dying a lot is reducing your chances of unseen aid.

Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes@lemmy.zip•[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and auto-refilling vs. consumable healing - which do you prefer?English
25·17 days agoI like the Estus system—it gives you a lot more room to experiment and have fun with the game. Getting more consumable heals just feels like grocery shopping.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In your opinion, is space exploration necessary?English
31·17 days agoOf course not, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it. We go to space because it’s cool and we can, and that’s a beautifully human thing to do. As for the money, it’s a baseline fact of this world that enormous sums will be spent on things that don’t fix our problems, and space is as good a use as any for that wasted cash. If it were space or solving hunger, solving hunger is the obvious priority, but practically speaking it’s “don’t solve hunger and go to space” or “don’t solve hunger.”

15·19 days agoNot sure where you’re getting this info from, because it’s horribly wrong.
Per Baseball Reference, corroborated by Savant:
- Rich Hill is not an active MLB player
- Verlander weighs 240
- Scherzer weighs 208
- Martin is 39yo, 6’8”
- Santana is 40yo, 5’10” 210lb
Leaving aside that you’re calling 43yo/6’5”/240lb “old and fat”—that’s below average BMI even before accounting for BMI not accurately representing the fatness of elite athletes
He’s been a consistently above average hitter who’s fun to watch when he’s right, and for a Sox fanbase reeling from the loss of Mookie he slotted right in as the homegrown star. His defense and his cold spells, however, are hard to miss.
Devers is hitting .190 with an OPS+ of 59. I don’t think that bat fixes the Red Sox season to date lmao

Major League Baseball@lemmy.ml•First SF Giants at-bats ruined by Netflix’s aggressive ad insertionEnglish
1·1 month agoOne of the weird streams last season (Roku?) used a booth with one team’s play by play and the other team’s color caster, which I thought was a nice way to make a balanced booth without just bringing in “neutral” casters who don’t know the teams as well.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do wealthy people tend to only date and marry other wealthy people?English
28·1 month agoRich people mostly hang out with rich people, so preference notwithstanding it’s expected they’d find partners from that pool. As for preferences, I’d guess it varies a lot person to person but averages out to a preference for people with at least some status.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is an individual's debt rescinded when they passed away?English
25·1 month agoIn the US, debts of the deceased are paid out of the estate. If there isn’t enough money in the estate, the debts just go unpaid—descendants or other survivors are not responsible.
In your scenario, assuming he owned the residence, it would be sold and the debts repaid from the proceeds; likewise with any other assets he left behind.
I’ve been very satisfied with Hipshot locking tuners. I swapped out the tuners on my tele a couple years ago and they have performed admirably since. Very responsive and hold a tune for ages.
