If you’re going to stick to the rules in the future I wouldn’t worry about it; the main reason ban evasion isn’t allowed is to keep out repeat offenders. (And you have no obligation to tell anyone that you were banned on a different account).

I’ve clocked 600 hours in Kerbal Space Program, and probably high thousands to over ten thousand in Minecraft.

Don’t be too afraid, breathing in a bit of HF never hurt anybody.

I see three.

Always good to do a quick search of the literature to make sure your intuition about something is actually correct; I too thought “no way” when I first saw your question.

I don’t think only heating water to 500C would remove more harmful chemicals than a typical full treatment process, as they have a lot of steps to filter various things out, but I don’t have a source for that.

Even if it did, there’s still the issue of heating up the water taking an enormous amount of energy, which is probably a dealbreaker. My local wastewater plant treats 40 million gallons a day, which by a quick calculation would take 150 GWh to heat, 83% the daily energy consumption of the whole of Minnesota. That can be reduced significantly with heat exchangers but even 1% of that would be far too expensive.

Well… The Large Hadron Collider can smash lead nuclei together at nearly the speed of light, which turns them into something that is definitely no longer lead.

Yes; this is something that has been studied. However as other commenters have said it requires a lot of energy, and is better suited for processing smaller quantities of water with a high level of PFAS contamination than massive quantities of water with an extremely low level of PFAS. It’s also not a standalone solution, as plenty of harmful chemicals survive heating past 400/500C (heavy metals like cadmium, lead, and mercury do not break down at any temperature).

I had that too, closed the popup and never ran into anything even mildly broken during the entire course. Aside from the popup they don’t seem to be actively sabotaging Linux users, and it’s a website, so it’s gonna work pretty much identically on any OS as long as you’re using a common browser.

That said, they should definitely phrase the message more like “Your OS isn’t supported, so don’t expect help from us if something Linux-specific breaks our page” than “You need to get a different OS.”

It’s easy to take a few minutes and think about what to say before responding over chat, but when I do that during a face to face conversation people get annoyed for “ignoring them” and “just standing there silently” smh.

It’s a nice distraction from reality, and it’s fun to comment and post and have people upvote or reply. Makes me feel a little less lonely. :)

Step 1: Make a dating app where you’re the only man on it

Step 2: Make it so your crush is the only woman that can use it

Step 3: Send to crush

Step 4: profit?

He said the words, and genies love to twist around your words to make your wish backfire.

Well… Did they suck your balls?

650 years ago, the place I live was inhabited mostly by the Ojibwe (a Native American people), so I suppose I’d try to find some of them and try to convince them to not kill me and let me stick around long enough to learn their language. Then I could teach them some of my knowledge. Maybe by the time the Europeans come along they’ll be a bit more prepared.

If I can’t find anyone, I don’t like my chances of surviving for any significant amount of time. Maybe I could make it a few weeks foraging for food and fishing or something, but realistically I’ll probably end up starving.

Adding my voice to the 2 crowd.

I think I lost a few brain cells reading it all the way through.

Nothing about that sounds particularly unsafe if you’re reasonably healthy, except maybe the restroom part if you really have to go and hold it in. I wonder if the unsafe nature from the sexual meaning of the phrase leaked over somewhat.

Ah okay, I interpreted that as the link having to be from the post’s instance. Nevermind then I guess.

Sure thing, these ones didn’t work:

Also found some that worked while testing some more:

It doesn’t seem to be working for me; I’ve tried several posts on different instances and they all result in a 500 error from your API.
