ah the 90s/00s, era of innumerable purple plastic bulgey dongle boxes

the radeon all-in-wonder, lol



HP and Cisco Blades both use dongles like that rather than using a built in KVM like the Dell Blades



I think HP and CISCO even use the same dongles.

if you're washing your hands with boiling water for a while, sure, but i'm a little doubtful that washing your hands with regular hot water for 10 seconds tops (which is probably a generous estimate - i mostly see people taking only a few seconds) will seriously hurt bacteria

the most important thing is obviously soaping up properly, and also if you're really that concerned about bacteria you'll make sure either to use a non-/single-touch faucet or clean the handle after turning on the water because otherwise you're just grabbing hold of something just fondled by dirty hands (possibly someone else's at that). i'm pretty sure basically nobody ever even thinks about that, though

The purpose of hot water when washing hands is not to kill bacteria, but to loosen the oils that can harbor bacteria. The soap kills the bacteria by destroying the cell walls.

Proof that birds are weird little guys

People tend to forget that Bluejays are corvidae in the same family as Crows and Ravens, with a lot of the same intelligence and capabilities.

quote:

Blue jays can make a large variety of sounds, and individuals may vary perceptibly in their calling style. Like other corvids, they may learn to mimic human speech. Blue jays can also copy the cries of local hawks so well that it is sometimes difficult to tell which it is.[40] Their voice is typical of most jays in being varied, but the most commonly recognized sound is the alarm call, which is a loud, almost gull-like scream. There is also a high-pitched jayer-jayer call that increases in speed as the bird becomes more agitated. This particular call can be easily confused with the chickadee's song because of the slow-starting chick-ah-dee-ee. Blue jays will use these calls to band together to mob potential predators such as hawks and drive them away from the jays' nests.

Blue jays also have quiet, almost subliminal calls which they use among themselves in proximity. One of the most distinctive calls of this type is often referred to as the "rusty pump" owing to its squeaky resemblance to the sound of an old hand-operated water pump. The blue jay (and other corvids) are distinct from most other songbirds for using their call as a song.
