  • Man this reminds me. I was helping an engineer support my company remotely and after a month or so of everything working fine, he emails frantically and says “THE SCREEN IS BROKEN!”

    After some time, I finally figured out that he means he can’t log on to the VPN. Probably two hours of testing in and we didn’t figure it out, so we left it. The third fucking day of this I eventually was annoyed and wanted a coffee break, so i told him to reboot again. He actually rebooted this time and it works.

    Caps lock had been on for like 3 days. Everything he typed was yelling because he just didn’t notice.

    I later met someone in IT at his company who said that this is a fairly regular occurrence from him

    Yeah, it’s a super rad tech! A bit pricey but a neat renewable that almost generates opposite to solar in a way, in that if it’s raining you’re getting some energy in the form of fresh water

    Can you ELI10 an intuitive explanation on why the salinity gradient provides energy? It doesn’t make intuitive sense to me and never has. Like why is fresh water mixing with salt water energy positive?
