Ma’am, those are buns. Could use a hot dog though.

For those of us who need to do research to get this joke, I already did it. They mean Rubicon River (which is no longer in the north, so don’t look for it there, it’s on the opposite side of the knee).

Sure, throw another wrench into my bird training data…

But this “unprocessed salami” can speak. Kinda puts them on level playing field.
Unless, of course, salami is voiced by Eddie Murphy, in which case it’s an easy pick.

I’m starting to wonder if the fact that most upvoted NSFW posts on Lemmy being femdom(-y) is some kind of indicator.

This is misleading. The models mentioned won’t get the latest MacOS update, true, but they will be supported. My older 2016 MBP is stuck on BigSur or something, but gets security updates regularly and doesn’t have any incompatibilities so far. I could probably force update it if I wanted to. Apple is known for supporting their devices for longer than other manufacturers.

Apple devices have enough legit reasons for criticism, no need to make up new ones.

Usually I recognize the gonewild regulars on Lemmy by their body parts. I recognize you by your smile.
This says a lot about society, or something, IDK.

That only works with John Cena.

Is it one of those pictures where you flip it to see young girl turn into an elderly woman?

You liar! There he is in the post image!

– Pumba, I’m telling you, this guy doesn’t have any bugs!
– Don’t give up, Timon!

I bet the change is due to the fact that despite his bot armies he’s getting ratioed lately.

I speak Russian at a native level, but that’s an archaic pre-revolution orthography that I’m not 100% sure about. But I’m 99% sure that most of those transliterations are correct. Except Gorky. In Ukrainian Г makes a rough H sound, while in Russian it’s G, as in “good”.

And a bonus fun fact for you, горький (gorky) means “bitter”.

I know I’m being pedantic, but that’s the word used in the video and that’s the slang term, specifically “bike”, probably because it sounds more punchy.

[…] she’d be a bike*.
Apparently, the usage of “bike” is important in that joke, because it’s a British slang for “slut”.

I’m sorry if I made the false impression that I know what I’m talking about. I’m just discussing and learning as I go. But I went back to the article and looked for the specific figures, and you were right, they are amplifying 1550-nm wavelength, which is NIR. And average glass is usually opaque to wavelength at around 2500nm, so it shouldn’t get blocked. At least not much.

I can’t say I have any experience with PVS-14 or any Night Optical Devices, but from what I see online, it amplifies certain visible spectrum as well as near-IR. It doesn’t seem to rely on IR much. And red dot sights aren’t even IR are they? At least not entirely, cause you can see them with the naked eye.
Regarding glass being opaque to IR, apparently, it depends on the type of glass. I just remembered it from a Vsauce video (IIRC) where it was demonstrated to be opaque. But since term IR is vague and doesn’t have super defined borders, and there are different types of glass, yeah, it’s not a certain statement.

Fair enough, I was being too vague with my statement. I was implying that they don’t emit much IR, as all bodies above 0 Kelvin do emit it. And LED/laser headlights almost don’t, in comparison to xenon and stuff. I looked up some Xe emission graphs and some even straight up show the peak in near-IR, while laser/LED starts flatting out way before NIR.

Well, IR isn’t heat, but it’s associated with it. And since laser and LED lights heat up a little bit, yes, they of course produce a miniscule amount of IR. But it’s pretty much negligible in comparison to their visible spectrum emissions. If you’re already being blinded by the visible range of the laser, the IR part isn’t gonna do much.

Yeah, it’s absolutely clear that nothing is clear about its operation.
