RegularJoe OP , to Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related in ‘Smart Underwear’ could help unlock secrets of human flatulence

In a study of the device, Hall and his team found that healthy adults fart some 32 times a day—although some tooted a mere four times, while others passed wind 59 times in a day.

The Smart Underwear is just a first step. Hall also launched the Human Flatus Atlas to recruit and measure flatulence across the population. In particular, the researchers are interested in studying people who eat high-fiber diets but don’t fart much and people who fart a lot.

RegularJoe , to Funny in I have to do what before use?

... Ah, here we go

Shake it, shake, shake it (uh, oh), shake it, shake, shake it

Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake it (uh, oh)

Shake it like a Polaroid picture, (hey ya)...

RegularJoe , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in What's your opinion on prostitution?

Looking at the pros and the cons, it must be the opposite of CONstitution.

...I'll see myself out.

RegularJoe , (edited ) to Off My Chest in I think I ruined my life

What you did was a mistake.

  • You are not stupid. You are not crazy. You did something you wish you could change and are blaming yourself.

  • You have not ruined your life, but if you let this hang over your head, it will ruin things until you forgive yourself and move on.

  • If you can make things right (apologizing, asking for a second chance, etc.), do it. If you can't get things right, then accept that you can't fix the past, but you can fix today and the future by learning from your mistakes.

  • You're not going to find another person like him. Just like YOU, he's one of a kind. That does NOT mean there aren't others you can have a happy relationship with. That also doesn't mean there could be someone better out there who could make you happier. But if you wallow in self-pity, you might miss out on finding that person.

RegularJoe , to Hacker News in Students using “humanizer” programs to beat accusations of cheating with AI

“Students now are trying to prove that they’re human, even though they might have never touched AI ever,” said Erin Ramirez, an associate professor of education at California State University, Monterey Bay. “So where are we? We’re just in a spiral that will never end.

Yep. You're guilty until proven innocent.

RegularJoe , to Shitty Ask Lemmy in Who the hell likes porridge in the pot 9 days old?

In medieval times, households simmered a large pot of split peas, water, salt, and scraps continuously over the fire, adding new ingredients daily to stretch limited food. Nine days old is likely an exaggeration, but it hints at how the stew might contain bits from previous days during food scarcity.

It means you are extremely poor.

RegularJoe , to Linux Questions in Question regarding power supply

If you look in the upper left corner of that sticker you posted an image of, it says Model L300NM-01.

The Dell 300NM-01 (also listed as B300NM-01 or L300NM-01) is a 300-watt power supply unit (PSU) designed for various Dell desktop models, particularly in mini-tower (MT) form factors. If you haven't added any hardware, it's probably OK.

Here is a link to that PS on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/L300NM-01-PS-6301-06D-Replacement-Supply-H300NM-00/dp/B09JG2JDHM

I found it by searching amazon for Dell 300NM-01.

If you think I am up to something, search amazon for that.

If you have added more hardware or changed existing hardware (hard drives, DVDs, etc.)

you should use a power supply calculator to see how much power you need

Choose from any of these:

https://www.coolermaster.com/en-us/power-supply-calculator/

https://www.newegg.com/tools/power-supply-calculator

Or any others you find online.

Here is the manual for your machine:

RegularJoe , to Ask Lemmy in What skills did almost everybody have 50 years ago, but few people have today?

Using a card catalog at the library to look up books.

RegularJoe , to Ask Lemmy in What’s a cheap purchase that’s completely changed your life?

Knee pillow. I'm a side sleeper and my hips began to hurt. It was about $10. It's amazing to think how much a little knee separation can relieve your hips and lower back.

RegularJoe , to Atlanta News in Georgia Bill Seeks Lemon Pepper As State Wing Flavor

I never once thought adopting a chicken wing flavor as culturally significant.

BESIDES, HOW WILL IT TASTE ON PEACHES?

RegularJoe , (edited ) to Shitty Ask Lemmy in How big is an oval?

Since you wrote b≥a, and not b>a, If b=a, then a=b, so the formula still applies, but it's not an oval, it's a circle. Technically an elipse has to have the semi-major axis (a) longer than the semi-minor axis (b).

But there is a detailed explanation of your question here:
