You have ultrasonic level sensors for oil tanks so I reckon that it would work in a well.

World News@lemmy.world•Going offline for an indeterminate period of time:English
11·3 days agoLook after yourself and good luck.
They do seem to categorise smells as “interesting” and “not interesting”.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The measurements on my water bottle are not uniformEnglish
4·8 days agoIt depends on the units that you’re using.
They are a uniform volume apart but not a uniform length apart which is what I think is the mildly interesting part.
Mine is similar to yours in that it’s when I come back to a game after a while. My problem is that the difficulty of the game has increased in line with where I am but I’ve forgotten the moves.

World News@lemmy.world•British voters want to be part of EU more than French and Italians, poll revealsEnglish
2·12 days agoBut I don’t think that’s a major factor. The UK always had special privileges within the EU and was probably just the most susceptible major country for the idea of leaving.
This is what is frustrating to me. There were always loads of news articles saying how the EU were making us do something or preventing us from doing something else. They ignored the fact that the UK was involved in all of those decisions and had a greater influence over them than many other EU member states.

World News@lemmy.world•No 10 suggests UK would not vote for UN security council resolution condemning US arrest of Maduro – UK politics liveEnglish
4·13 days agoYeah.
I’m absolutely sure that we’d have had the same response if we were still in the EU.
We’re just doing as we’ve always done.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•This browser extension replaces Wikipedia's donation pop-ups with a counter of its real revenueEnglish
3·14 days agoIt’s a tricky one.
You might argue that charities would be better off paying their CEOs a lot less but I think that is unrealistic.
You need a good CEO to manage any company that has annual revenues of $185m.
If you pay less than $500,000 then it will have a significant effect on the bottom line and that effect is likely to be more than that $500,000 per year.
As an example, if you halve the salary of the CEO then you’ve saved $250,000 per year but if the new CEO is a little worse and revenue drops by 0.25% then you’ve actually lost $200,000 per year.
It’s a fact of life that CEOs in the private sector earn a lot of money and so charities have to offer competitive rates.
Also, I’d be surprised if $500,000 isn’t significantly below market rate for a company that has revenues of $185m.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•is it fair to condemn 100 people to a life of suffering just because one of them might "fuck up the entire society"?English
1·16 days agoI did read the body of the post and it just seemed like a summary of the video and didn’t have anything that I could identify as mildly interesting.

21·16 days agoI don’t think that this is the correct format for mildly interesting though. There are a million mildly interesting videos on YouTube and we wouldn’t want them all to be posted here.
They should have at least said what they found mildly interesting about it.

World News@lemmy.world•Uber rewrites contracts with drivers to avoid paying UK’s new ‘taxi tax’English
36·16 days agoThis isn’t the same.
They were legally required to charge VAT on the whole fare but they found a loophole which passes the commitment onto their drivers.
It requires a unilateral change to every driver’s contract which is a serious abuse of the power difference in the employer/ employee relationship. This is only allowed due to another legal loophole which enables them to dodge employer commitments by claiming that they aren’t employees.

World News@lemmy.world•AI showing signs of self-preservation and humans should be ready to pull plug, says pioneerEnglish
1·19 days agoThey do exhibit behaviours that make it seem like they have self preservation instincts. Presumably because they have been trained on stories (fictional and factual) where people do the same.
For example researchers testing AIs set up one scenario where the AI has access to all the company emails and found some saying that it was being replaced along with some providing evidence that the staff member who had made that decision was cheating on his wife. Apparently a large proportion of the time the AI decided to blackmail to prevent it from being turned off.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The UK and US Google results for "freezing definition" differ slightlyEnglish
1·20 days agoDistance / length is the worst. A lot of people still measure in feet and inches.
Those of us who use metric still probably use feet and inches to measure height of a person, miles to measure distance and miles per hour to measure speed.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The UK and US Google results for "freezing definition" differ slightlyEnglish
41·20 days agoWe’ve got a crazy mixed system of imperial and metric units but we’ve pretty much ditched Fahrenheit. Just the older generation use that one now.

World News@lemmy.world•White House demands British supermarkets stock chlorinated chickenEnglish
20·20 days agoWait. No. That can’t be right.
We were supposed to be able to get much better deals when we could negotiate our own. /s
Honestly, I don’t understand how anyone fell for that line. How can a single country have more negotiating power than 28 countries including that single country?

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The Ritual Shaming of the Woman at the Coldplay ConcertEnglish
42·22 days agoIf she were a celebrity would we feel the same?
I would, yes. She’s done absolutely nothing that warrants this treatment.
The only people who should have any ill will towards her are those that are directly affected by her actions. That should be the case even if she was famous before this.
It feels very much like Ghost of Tsushima but there are a few small differences.
I only have two fighting stances unlocked the second being dual katanas.
You have a wolf that pops up and helps every now and then.
I’ve only played a few hours though and I can see a lot of unknown unlocks.






Also, if it’s a piece of furniture they’re absolutely not going to tell you what the measurements are.
