92·14 days agoHow much waste they take up with them?
If it’s more than 8kg, I’m guessing that the only missing requirement for the refund is to increase the number to make it that every climber brings down more than they take up.
In other words, put every climber on the scales before they go up and unless they weigh more when they come back, they don’t get their money back.
Bonus reward for each extra kg.

At some point this is going to explode … right?
You clearly didn’t watch the MythBusters episode dedicated to this topic considering all its various lighting technologies.
The takeaway: Turn off the lights when you leave the room, unless you’re going to be back within a fraction of a second.
What you described as personal habits seem appropriate for participation in polite society while being examples to teach in a world beset by climate change.

85·23 days ago… you had one job …
I joined Reddit because it was an open and moderated collection of communities … then after the blackout due to the API changes, moderators were sent packing and any sense of community that had been created was destroyed.
I joined both Mastodon and Lemmy and I’m glad I did.
The communities in both are nascent, but slowly growing, and that seems like a place I’d like to be.
After Twitter became Xitter, I also joined Bluesky but that feels much more like people ranting and venting, less about making communities.

661·1 month agoI wonder … will it be another case of “Too Big To Fail” … or will it be … “Let The Market Decide”?
I’m guessing the answer depends on how many medals the CEO of Oracle can bestow upon the Orange.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does anyone know how to make the Arch text bigger?
2·1 month agoMore likely than not you’re confusing modifier keys.
On the Mac, the zoom is [Command] + [+].
In Linux it’s [Control] + [+]
This is pretty much true across the board. It’s sometimes non-obvious because wrappers like UTM try to “help”.
The alternative is to ssh into the VM and continue to use the MacOS shortcuts you’re used to.
