  • What a complete waste of an article.

    Until recently, nobody knew how eels reproduce. On August 14, 2021, TikTok user ColeTheScienceDude published a video named We Don’t Know Where Eels Come From.

    Peak journalism.

    After decades of speculation, researchers have successfully tracked European eels back to their breeding grounds in the Sargasso Sea, following their journeys thousands of kilometers along one of nature’s most incredible animal migrations.

    That shit has been known for years to decades and not only in scientific circles. Go ask your local fishermen if they know where eels breed. Theres a quite high chance they will tell you about the Sargasso sea.

    The only good thing about this article is, that it provided the link ti The original Paper (dont know which it is exactly since u didnt have the time looking at it:

  • I tried fixing up cars a couple years back but it turns out that’s just not my jam. I was a framing carpenter for a few years so my expertise outside of wood and nails is pretty limited.

    I grew up on a farm and one of The good things about it is, that no matter what, you will be forced to learn at least the basics of quite a lot of different fields of manual work. I van comfortably handle quite a lot of stuff and would be able to fix a lot of stuff by myself, because I learned all the basics while fixing stuff with my dad (or by myself). As long as long AS i dont have to fix anything at a car (or any other bigger vehicle) or do any electrical work that is more complex than changing an electric component (as in ripping out the old component and replacing it with an identical new component) I am quite comfortable, that I could do quite a lot stuff by myself (if I have the right tools for it).





  • In my experience it varies wildly in how reliable something is and how much work has to be put into it. From all the different kind of stuff I have worked with the most unreliable equipment was usually the new stuff that is packed with all sorts of electronics and sensors. If you have a high quality machine build back in the days of the GDR maintenance is usually not really needed (except lubricating from time to time).

    We once had a robot that was so god damn unreliable, that in the end it was a 5 digit number in reparations just to keep it going. Nothing ever worked and the contractor who sold and maintained it was A completely incompetent shithead. In the end we were able to repair most of the stuff ourselves, but we rarely went a single week without someone having to come and fix something. It also exclusively broke down on the weekends or IB The middle of the night, where its extra expensive for someone to come out. Eventually we threw it out and went to a different brand and now everything works like a charm. No random breakdowns in the middle of the night and the whole system us much more refined.
