Because it was once used as the symbol for pounds (weight). 10# is 10 pounds.I don't think I've ever seen that before but it would definitely be preferable to lbs. (had to confirm again if it's ibs ibls or what). --- This day is gone. We can't relive it. It's gone forever. |

so you don't think there's anything wrong?I'm not really an expert on electricity or batteries, but from the little I know I would actually expect the number to fluctuate a small amount and would be suspicious of it if it was too steady. it's an indication that you're measuring something real. it's not your HP in a game or something, it's like measuring the temperature or wind speed; there's a degree of inexactness involved. --- This day is gone.

i know its not accurate because i saw the percentage before shutting it off. say it was 80, if it turn it back on it will say 82 or 83, or 78 or 77. sometimes it will swap to higher or lower if i restart again.yeah it's an estimate not an exact number. it's based on voltage (?) or something like that, which will vary, especially if you reset the load by turning it off and on again. (? I assume it's based on voltage and reading a bit about it, it sounds like it can be, but it's also probably more complicated than that.) --- This day is gone. We can't relive it.

| Sahuagin 03/13/24 9:19:54 PM #5 | a lot of those options. if I was communicating it to someone else I would probably say "pound sign" since I think that is the term for the keyboard key, but I don't really know why it's called that.

i drained it completely in january as someone recommended to do soin modern times you do not want to let your battery drain to 0% pretty much ever. their capacity will shrink (by design) if you do. it should probably never be lower than about 10-15%, and if/when it is you should charge it immediately. for example i'll shut off the phone and turn it back on it'll either be at a higher or lower percentage, but always quickly drops off one of those percentages whether lower or higher.what precisely is the issue? you say that it's not accurate; how do you know that it's not accurate? --- This day is gone.

| Topic | 1183 never played Chrono Trigger? |
| Sahuagin 03/13/24 8:54:47 PM #86 | people value different things, including about what the important or enjoyable parts of a game are, so people will have different opinions/ideas about what is or isn't a good game. yes this can sometimes seem quite alien to you if their values are that much different. yes this can be indistinguishable from trolling.

| Topic | Have you ever done a science experiment on your own body? |
| Sahuagin 03/08/24 10:19:30 PM #15 | ok I think yes we should be the subject of the experiment. that would exclude looking outside or at a clock. but I think it would include things like: looking in the mirror, feeling your leg with your hand after banging it into the coffee table; pretty much any inspection of yourself, visual, touch, measuring your heartbeat, listening to yourself inhale, etc.

| Topic | Have you ever done a science experiment on your own body? |
| Sahuagin 03/08/24 9:39:07 PM #13 | maybe I'm being too broad but I think almost everything we do could fit this. something like touching water (or anything) to see what temperature it is. but even more than that. the concept is: question about the world, gather information from the world to answer question. so, turning your head to look at what is causing a noise, looking outside to check the weather or time of day. even looking at your watch or a clock to see the time of day. (basically taking a reading from a measuring device to tell you about the state of the world.)
ok the question is on your body not with your body... hmm... my brain is alternating back and forth as to whether those are similar or different I think they are actually the same, we just wouldn't think of light hitting our retina as "on our body". but using your finger to test water temperature is. and something like testing sharpness with your finger definitely is. --- This day is gone.

| Topic | bought a mini dishwasher... I can't get it upright |
| Sahuagin 03/01/24 1:37:53 AM #18 | ConfusedTorchic posted...
if the faucet can withstand being off, it can withstand dishwasher pressurethis seems logical to me and would be my intuition as well but when researching it I read a lot of comments suggesting the hose could rupture eventually (and indeed if I check my setup there are pretty thin/weak looking hoses going to the faucet). I don't even know where this "dishwasher pressure" would come from or how it would affect the tap source. though it's definitely non-trivial to modify the faucet to be able to attach the dishwasher to it. (I barely have any counter-space as it is though and not even sure I could fit one but I sure miss having one.) (may have to pay more renter's insurance too, can't remember) --- This day is gone.

which reminds me I need to get a correct faucet head since mine has a spray fixture.hmm, are you sure you can? apartments (like mine) intentionally don't have compatible faucets partly since they don't want people having dishwashers because they can leak water. (even if you re-jigger the faucet anyway, the hose might not be strong enough to withstand dishwasher pressures and then it will leak and you can be in a tough spot.)

don't think chromebook's have a hard drive?

| Sahuagin 02/12/24 9:17:41 PM #4 | if it's setup as IMAP then this kind of thing can happen since you're seeing a copy of the state that's on the server (if it updates locally, fails to update remotely, and then later refreshes local with the current remote state, it would do exactly what you described).
if it's POP3 then the "read" state flag would be written to your local hard drive instead and this probably wouldn't happen (maybe if your HD was majorly failing). --- This day is gone. We can't relive it. It's gone forever. |

Is there an exercise that's specificly designed to help you learn how to maintain breathing? When I exercise I still inappropriately hold my breathresistance training - you should inhale/exhale along with the exercise (not sure of wording but exhale on exert, inhale on release, I think...). cardio - I can't imagine holding my breath for cardio, that's not what you mean is it? it requires a bench and barbell or dumbells, but the exercise Pullovers is supposed to increase lung capacity by stretching and increasing the size of the ribcage (though I wonder if maybe that's obsolete information and not really true) Lokarin posted...
