    And why would you wake up at 6 or 7? There are zero hotels that end breakfast service at that time, that’s just a bullshit argument.

    What I’m saying is that they need to start early to accommodate other people staying there, and that at some point they need to start lunch, so if you wake up at 11 that’s perfectly reasonable, just don’t expect the world to hold for your lordship to come back to the land of the living.

    Just how late do you wake up?

    I often stay at hotels for work, and by 8AM I’m leaving so I can be wherever I need to be at by 9, so yeah, breakfast needs to be around 7h30.

    Even at home this is a usual schedule, since commuting is a pain.

    By 10AM at the latest probably most places also need to wrap up service so they can clear up and prepare to serve lunches in a couple of hours.

    It’s not that unreasonable…



  • As always, it’s about money.

    It comes from Musk being heavily hit in Trumps new “big beautiful” law that will dry up subsidies for Tesla EVs among other things.

    Trump was then weighing federal contract cuts with Musk companies, Musk calling for impeachment and considering creating a 3rd political party…

    It’s a juicy one, I hope it escalates horribly 🍿


  • Ok so my understanding is that NaCl, and other salts, are bound together by ionic bonds.

    In these bonds, one element typically gives up an electron completely to the other, as opposed to covalent bonds for example, where the electron (or electrons) are actually “shared” between the atoms.

    So here, sodium is happy to give up its electron and live its life as Na+, while chlorine will gladly take it and become Cl-.

    Since they now are oppositely charged, they kinda stick to each other because of electrostatic attraction, but not like the atoms in a molecule would.

    While I do like the principle, in this specific instance I don’t think it’s correct.

    When sodium reacts with water it doesn’t produce salt (NaCl), but sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

    This is better known as lye, and it’s a strong base and highly caustic, so definitely not a safe compound.

    Edit: the other product of this reaction is hydrogen gas, which technically is stable, but also highly flammable…

    One of my most satisfying moments was when my manager’s manager asked me, over a highly populated slack channel, why I had installed an unreviewed external plugin with 6K+ lines of code, to deliver on a simple requirement.

    I replied with “?”, and a print screen from the logs showing he had installed that plugin a few months back. “I used what was available”.
