How is it not a conspiracy that he’s trying to lose this election. And how are his dumb ass supporters, who are often so high on conspiracy theory, oblivious to this notion? And why the fuck is the media making it out to be hyper competitive with both sides bringing equal amounts of crazy and reason to the table

Ah, I’ve always thought of it from wire to wire, the beginning to the end, also taken from horse and foot racing

How was it not “going down to the wire” to begin with? Isn’t the wire the thing that designates the end of the race?I would hope it ends, otherwise I gotta put up with this election year bullshit and these terrible headlines forever.

“whatever you do don’t forget to check the big tab is on the left and the little tab is on the right, even if you get it backwards it won’t close as a safety precaution.”

Gets call of machine not working in another country, sends out consultant.

Big tab is on the right, little tab is on the left and the entire tray has been forced into position because “it wasn’t closing properly so we had to apply a lot of force”

Professionals with confidence are the absolute worst, I tell ever consultant or technician that comes into my lab “I’ll be in the corner if you need me to grab you any supplies or coffee, do you mind if I ask questions as you go so I can have a better understanding of what’s going on with this magical box”. I like to think they appreciate me.

This needs to be amplified, if you’re deployed the Republican party doesn’t want you to participate in democracy.

That’s fucked.

Sure is nice having such warm water ports like we do

Octopodes* plural of octopus (octo is Greek root, odes is Greek root plural)

Go ahead and negative this comment, same as last time a marine biologist called bullshit on a Maine biology comic needing some correction.

Care to elucidate on who “these people” are?

I’m buying at least one of them!

I don’t know which one…

Very funny it all happened on the same day

I’m just being pedantic here, but an intercom system expands anywhere there’s networking, requires fewer wires, and lower voltage (will even work without power, not very well, but it will)

Did you run the line under ground or through conduit? Disconnect it from both sides, attach string/fishing line to one side, pull cable out of conduit on the side without the string attached. Detach string from either meet cable, reattach string with Ethernet cable and the additional cable (speaker cable in this case), pull string from the original side until both cables make their appearance.

Outside of walkie talkies (have you considered walkie talkie? Maybe put an antenna outside of the shop?) this is the simplest way to do it (imo, but I don’t play with raspberry pi’s)

As a biologist,

We can’t even get the actions of water bears down.

We have the entire genetic code and brain mapping of a fruit fly, and can get, very slow, good guesses about how they respond to very basic stimulus.

Let’s not even get into epigenetics.

I would never downplay the importance or difficulty of psychology.

But I get nothing but kicks on this house of “science” memes.

It’s literally speaker wire, or you could clip the ends of your Ethernet and use those (but you probably want your Ethernet out there still XD. One side will be to be run to power, but it’ll power the rest of the stations through the wire.

I feel like this is definitely what you’re looking for, no computers required.

From Amazon, I found “IS543 5/4/3 WIRE INTERCOM STAT-PLAST”

It’s similar to what we had growing up, 1 in the shed, 1 in the kitchen 1 in the game room, push the button of the location you wanted to talk to, only 1 direction of communication at a time, over.

I feel like you’re making it way more complicated than it needs to be, why would you involve a switch or processor when you’re just carrying sound waves? You don’t even need a modulator, it just needs to connect a microphone to a speaker like cans on a string. Is it the highest quality? No, will it record your conversation for posterity? Also no. Will it let you tell at someone to get their asses in for dinner, absolutely

You’ve already run wires, why not a microphone and speaker system?

I no longer identify as a “gamer” it’s long since been coopted by a group I have no desire to associate with.

Not sure what their “world” is but I imagine a lot of tendonitis from all the knee jerk reactions from the members of it

Both sides are very fearful, one of what he tells them to be fearful of, the other of what he’s said he’s going to do.

Terrible pop science, and people who are happily ignorant as long as it’s for the lulz.

I’ve studied enough oceanography to know that this is bullshit.

But if you want a community that isn’t critical of bullshit, well there are plenty of religious organizations that would love you membership.

Wow, speaking truth to inaccurate "meme"s gets community disagreement? You guys are a bunch of ignorant sheep.

Sorry, what?? There are no hydro thermal vents at the surface of the ocean???

Fucking biologist needs to go back to school.

There’s no life at hydro thermal vents at the surface of the ocean because there are much safer and more reliable ways to get energy, but there are absolutely areas of active geothermal extremes at the surface of the ocean.

Hell there are hydro thermal vent remnants in the coastal ranges above sea level.
