on: Rwandan scientists develop local yeast for banana wine-makers
Normally, you ferment at lower temperatures because your drink will taste disgusting… (there will be terrible byproducts) this article has no explanation as to why this traditional drink suddenly tastes fine with a high temperature yeast other than something about regulators accepting some shit. I imagine that traditionally they they didn’t add commercial yeast… they just opened the top of it and prayed.. and the wild yeast which probably where they live Ferments fine at higher temperatures however, I had to make this all up in my head because there is no fucking information in this entire article and certainly no science and I’m amazed it’s number three. What the is this shit

on: Show HN: ESP32 RC Cars
You don’t need goggles you can just get a receiver for your TV… or any screen.. also
Qualify shittier do you mean the range of the antenna? A 2 1/2 inch car it does not go outside, so not relevant. If you mean the camera well buyer beware i guess the ones I got were fine. Also, I thought we were comparing this to a cheap ESP 32 build and not some top-of-the-line digital thing the SP 32 build is gonna have a terrible lag. You’re not actually gonna be able to race your friend with it… my setup is cheap and has low latency. no one is gonna buy top-of-the-line DJI crap to race a 2 inch car around their basement

A good 2.5 inch RC car is 30 bucks on AliExpress now, A standalone 5.8 GHz analog camera is 25 bucks.
Just for those that may be more interested in the outcome than just a fun project to do

Having garbage bins in my neighborhood, keeps garbage from being put on the ground.
There are other neighbourhoods where the garbage bins don’t help at all
