A proper septic system is carefully engineered but they can still be quite low tech. Many houses still just have gravel trenches and pits.
My own home doesn’t have any pumps, it just pushes water out as water comes in. My tiny strip of land has deep trenches and the right native soil (deep sand).
More modern systems just need some pressurized lines and only three feet of the right sand to achieve proper treatment of effluents.
A lot of people don’t realize outside sewers and cities, septic systems are a thing and all the sewage goes to a tank that drains out into a patch of soil. A hundred feet/30 meters and usually even a wellhead is considered at a safe range.
Soils do a lot of biological treatment just as the enzymes and bacteria in septic tanks break down and dissolve solids.
UV disinfection and other treatment of sewage on-site is only common in areas with high water tables or proximity to waterbodies under that 100ft/30 meter range.
The majority of modern wastewater comes from other fixtures for laundry, showers, and the kitchen. Toilet sewage is relatively small volumewise.
There’s a whole media cycle on it from the last few months.
You may have missed how there’s a massive CSAM problem with AI because the models are all trained on CSAM. “Plausible” is a bit behind the times.
Sorta. I have one strain cultivated that works ‘best’ for me. It doesn’t make me sleepy or distort any of my reality. It settles my gastrointestinal system mostly. There’s a lot of medical varieties that do great medicine without being, well, recreational.
But there’s also a ton of forms of marijuana which will fuck me right up. Like, I used to smoke hash when I was young and in college and that’s definitely not what I am chasing with my manicured and vaporized buds.
I think people’s mileage varies because the landscape is so incredibly uneven.
There’s a whole lot of people who were too young to remember a quarter century ago.
Likewise. This is my only reoccurring issue I have had since switching, and it isn’t consistent enough to really be a problem.
I do notice that after sleep mode when things work fine I’ll get a notification my displays are detected. So I assume display detection is switched off during sleep mode, and maybe not always turning back on.
There should be an Australian guy who is still just hating on China in the 2nd panel anyway.
I think it is more that Americans are so used to extractive austerity and warfunding/fighting that we’ve completely forgot that economies can build civil society.
Plug and play, except you have to provide instructions and chastisement first.
It got him celebrity. That opens doors in ways money doesn’t.
Nearly ten years of my life essentially reduced to “Keep poop in ground, not on ground.”
The lab work v field work divide transcends both politics and history.
Yes, but the beauty of it is that it plugs in Steam immediately. If you’re installing it on a machine that uses Steam and sometimes browses it is a one-stop shop.
I offloaded Windows 10 entirely, installed bazzite, and played Hollow Knight and the entire Dark Souls trilogy from the same installation on the same harddrive I’d had them on Windows. Didnt even need to reinstall.
To me that’s impressive. I only had a few crashes overall too.
He asks if they serve Celsius drinks.
This has been internet community stuff since internet, honestly. Small websites run by a dozen school friends can wind up with this. Reddit, from my understanding, was always rife with it.
The decentralized nature of Lemmy means a lot of people curating their own communities. Walled gardens are a feature, not a bug. As long as the federation aspects are held together the ecosystem can self correct by letting those communities isolate, either internally or externally.
Just try not to take the walls personally, even when they are. We all run into them sometimes.
You fantasize about Hitler winning the war in enough detail enough times…
The beef jerky never complains.
Ah, the brush and scraper are flipped. That’s a warding circle… shape.
You know I think the only ones that will are the six or seven chronic users who peaked at using tankie as a pejorative, and half of them fucked off to piefed to insulate themselves from further interaction.
