    I live in an apartment building, no hot water limits. One nice side perhaps, in the otherwise dreary living style.

    The only thing for me is the pipes are getting on (not that much the house is like 30 years at most) but just loose enough to make a slight sound when using warm water, and especially when opening and closing pressure. KACHUNK.

    But if you use the cooler water this noise is significantly reduced.

    Sometimes I do care about my neighbors, although I prolly shouldn’t as they won’t behave no matter what. (This house and area are rather interesting)



  • Why would the Russian and Chinese governments want to influence a small collection of web forums with no real influence on the wider world?

    Why wouldn’t they? Why would Russian or Chinese people be any worse at using internet platforms than we are?

    Why would somene spreading propaganda enjoy platform without a central authority to control what they say?

    Hmm yeah, that’s a tough one. A really really tough nut to crack. Just no answer.

    If only I got a euro for every time I read this general bullshit denial of propaganda and disinfo, “there’s no propaganda on Lemmy”, I’d be a rich man


  • “Aquaman”? No.

    “Mission Impossible”? Yeah.

    Depends entirely on how likely I think it is to be in any way realistic. Often I might check the time they’re underwater. 1-2min is still realistic, although very challenging for an average non-trained person. You can quite quickly train yourself up to a few minutes, some dude on YT tried went from 30s to about 4min.

    However it’s usually reliant on conserving oxygen, having a low pulse and no adrenaline etc. Quite the opposite of what is usually going on in movies like MI.





  • they wash and reuse the bottles (without melting them down or anything)

    Idk where you’re talking about, but in Finland… That used to be the system, and the bottles which were actually washable were far sturdier than what we have now. Now it’s all flimsy PET bottles which just get shredded and “recycled”.

    I used to work in a bottle room back when most deposits were glass bottles and sturdy plastics and only the cans got crushed not reused.

    I was the guy in the backroom piling the bottles from a huge conveyor belt (glass bottles) to be organised in pallets. Could manage like 7 beers bottles in one hand, but that was pushing it and the most effective speed was 3-4 bottles per hand per move.

    I liked the job but the employer was a massive cunt.





  • It’s not really not the size, most backpacks really are at least 20 liters. It’s the shape. But mine would take 6 1.25 litre bottles, easy. It’s a large quality rucksack. I’ve had it for literally more than a quarter of a century. Something like 26-27 years prolly.

    But I agree, 6x 1.25 l bottles in a very basic backpack might present a challenge, because it’s usually not wide enough for one to go sideways on the bottom (mine is tho, for 1.25l, which is uncommon size here tho). Or just put three at the bottom and then three upside down on top of them. Even a basic backpack could do that I’m sure.

    Might not close all the way properly but surely would hold them. I’ve had easily 24 cans in my backpack. The straps lasted for 20 years or something then one time I jumped a fence with like 30 cans and the left strap just broke. (but the fall was like 2 meters, not just a tiny fence you know) It had been kinda dying for a few years and the replacement is subpar to the material it used to be but still.


  • Why not?

    I just backpacked home 18 cans which is about exactly 6 litres.

    But I could easily also fit 3 2 l bottles or 6 1l bottles or 12 0.5 bottles.

    And that still leaves like half to a third of my backpack available, depending on the shape of the containers.

    Backpacks are usually around 20-30 liters in size.

    Edit also tbh that looks more like 6 1.5l bottles but I’m not sure of that and I think it’ll they’d fit in my backpack
