lol. Did this in my old building - the dryer was on an improperly rated circuit and the breaker would trip half the time, eating my money and leaving wet clothes.

It was one of the old, “insert coin, push metal chute in” types. Turns out you could bend a coat hanger and fish it through a hole in the back to engage the lever that the push-mechanism was supposed to engage. Showed everyone in the building.

The landlord came by the building a month later and asked why there was no money in the machines, I told him “we all started going to the laundromat down the street because it was cheaper”

Too bad it still can’t figure out how to do dead ass simple things the old assistant had no problem with, like setting a reminder or alarm

Sqlite is absolutely installed on the most devices, but there is a big grey area depending on how you count “used”

I have 30 apps on my phone, am I a single sqlite user? or 30 of them?

Facebook/Netflix/etc. uses postgres/mysql, does that count as 1 user or a billion?

So the “biologists and pharmacologists” you are citing are just armchair scientists in the Lemmy comment section

that’s one burger, you would need at least a dozen burgers (14.2 big macs) to match a liter of gasoline (8340 kcal)

Energy efficiency and carbon footprint are very different things - pretty sure the carbon footprint of 15 big macs (8500kcal) is substantially greater than 1L of gasoline (let alone an electric grid equivalent)
