They’re building a school near where I live and they’ve got these things all around the site. Problem is, there’s an awkward intersection at one of the corners of the site, and traffic coming from the street that is 95% blocked by the fence does not have a stop/yield sign. So now everyone has to slowly approach the intersection, and slowly creep forward until you’re halfway in the intersection to see clearly, and hope a car isn’t barreling towards you at 30MPH.
God, I used to bike around here.
I don’t think we’re really getting anywhere with this, but that’s kinda my point.
Take a large pan and set it off-center on the smallest burner on your stove top. The entire pan will get warm, yes, but the part directly over the flame is going to get the hottest.
The cpu is the flame, the pan is the phone. If you have to wrap the pan in some sort of protective coat, but want to effectively dissipate heat with the smallest hole possible, the smartest design would be to place the opening over the source of the heat, not the center of heat sink.
If the cpu is in the top corner of the phone, the top corner of the phone is going to get significantly warmer than the rest of the phone (in terms of thermal dissipation). Putting a vent hole in the center where there’s less heat while having the warm part covered makes no sense.
More than just your cpu, gpu, and psu generate heat in a desktop, but they’re the only units that normally have giant heat sinks with dedicated fans for cooling them.
If there was a hole in the center, but the main producer of heat was still covered, that’d be a pretty bad design for heat dissipation.
Lots of phones use the aluminum body as a heat sink, so it kind of is how it works.
I like how it’s:

This is why HOAs are allowed to exist in the first place.
They tell the city, “hey, you’ve got this huge plot of land that can be developed for residential housing, but it looks like you can’t afford to develop it (roads, water pipes, power, etc). Instead of developing and selling it bit by bit, you can sell the land to us, and we’ll take care of everything, and just cut you your check!”
HOAs pass the municipal buck from the government to the HOA. Since the HOA (in most cases) owns the infrastructure for the community, there isn’t a good way to allow individuals to opt out.
It’s a pretty wide range, I’m included at 27 and I’ve got a couple friends younger than I am who’d probably get it too.
Steps for being the class clown:
Disassociate the moment the teacher starts talking
Randomly snap back to the present, absorb the last 6 words the teacher said
Loudly state the first thing that comes to mind
Disassociate again once kicked out of the classroom
I don’t ask you to fly mine. Can we both respect that?
I don’t see where anyone asked you to fly theirs, either?
A stranger on the internet took the time to write out some really helpful constructive advice to something you’re struggling with, and you’re blowing them off with a pedantic clarification? If you really don’t think there’s anything to take away from that comment because they didn’t get your exact example perfectly right, that could be another reason people are trying to escape conversations with you. It doesn’t sound like you want to have them.
Lemmy users when anything moderately bad happens to Reddit:
Imagine being a Texan trying to brag about having your own power grid, after dozens of people froze to death because of how shitty that power grid is.
Figma balls lmao gottem
I’d like to second the large flash drive idea. You can get a couple of them and a case to keep them in for less than $50 total and have multiple layers of redundancy

Not sure how to handle this,

It doesn’t really. It’s a T-intersection, where the top of the T has stop signs, and the bottom leg does not. If you are on one side of the T, you must enter the intersection, such that you are in the path of the bottom leg, before you can see if there is anyone coming from that direction.
The people coming from the bottom leg (with no sign) have no reason to stop or slow down, and would generally not have reason to look in the direction the fence is blocking visibility. I don’t think traffic coming from that direction even recognizes the obstruction. All they see is someone suddenly creeping into the intersection in front of them, when they can be mere yards from them.
