Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] KryptonNerd 28 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Switches located next to the door are for lighting, as opposed to switches on the socket which mean you can fully turn off your rice cooker without unplugging it. We do sometimes have sockets in the UK with the switch at the door, but they are usually a different shape socket that is designed for a lower current and is only intended to be used for floor lamps.

Oops... I should really stop doing that

For a group that considers .world to be Reddit 2.0 and a "CIA propaganda front" they seem to get awfully mad whenever it comes up in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

RepRap (reprap.org)
submitted 10 months ago by KryptonNerd to c/projects

RepRap is a project about democratising and decentralising manufacturing through low-cost open source 3D printers.

3D printers give communities the ability to repair items even when official replacement parts don't exist. They also allow people to produce small runs of custom parts, where more traditional manufacturing methods may be wasteful.

There are obviously issues with sustainability in the 3D printing community, primarily with material source, material recycling/composting, and waste. But even with these current issues, 3D printers provide a lot of utility and may have a place in our solarpunk future.

Amybo: Open Source Protein (amybo.org)
submitted 1 year ago by KryptonNerd to c/technology
5 comments fedilink
 

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/6192905

Amybo is a non-profit open source community project working on protein fermentation in an effort to reduce the carbon intensity of food production, as well as improve climate resilience as things like crop failures become more common.

The project is currently focussed on the low-cost distributed science aspect, but their website says they want biotechnologists, chefs, coders, creatives, engineers, enthusiasts, environmentalists, makers, medics, microbiologists, and nutritionists. So basically... Just lots of people.

They're still in the early stages but looks like a fun project to get involved in.
