Having all the facts about Musk clearly available now, the people who he got rich with, is clear evidence we perhaps chose to not see, or didn't yet see, the edgelord he always was.

I was being generous by including A Roads in 'highways'. Britain has the same length of highways as the Netherlands if you only consider M classification, which is to say, deplorably little. Over 5x less than Germany and France. B

Of course there is, but there's a huge amount of noise too. Signal below the noise floor can't be eyeballed.

It's always funny how people are eager to cite the good examples in their life, but totally forget the family that died early. Just walk into any sort of care facility for the elderly to understand that bias.

UKians don't like to hear this, but from a Dutch perspective it is really a notch below the rest of Western Europe. Most Dutch people experience underdevelopment when they go south in certain parts of France, but these regions are gene

How many people actually do this and are happy with it though? Here in the Netherlands there are also contracts like that, but people that are interested in them tend to put a lot of time and effort in then tracking those prices. I don&#x27

I wish I as a consumer could pay wholesale prices! Naturally, there is a whole cottage industry, namely consumer energy market, trying to trick us into overpaying.

You are right, but the same holds true for other sources: many externalize costs (e.g. CO2 emissions and thereby climate change, or glass fiber composite in windmills being notoriously hard to recycle). It still may be an acceptable price,

Forced air is however going to cost you quite a bit of efficiency. And in mid-winter just the airflow is noisy enough, not just parts of the unit.

I don't know where you get your ACs, but any I've seen installed this side of the turn of the century has a heating setting. I use the AC unit (air to air heatpumps) in my attic mostly for heating in Winter and it works fine. The

Trains do NOT everywhere in continental Europe drive on the left (not in NL, DE, PL at least), but indeed they do in France (and Belgium). Always struck as funny, because if driving on the RHS was about being different, you'd think tra

Or neighbourhood. I have neighbours with horror vacui: they just need noise 24x7 and their garden is no exception. I really do not understand this feature. If I want to listen to music without headphone, I'm going to sit down in front

Despite what audiophiles believe, DACs are a relatively solved problem and quality does not correlate with price.

There is going to be a DAC somewhere, and somehow putting it in the headphones doesn't speak for quality. Power budget, if nothing else.

Before broadband, and before forges like github with free CI and bots, which is all fairly recent, distros packaged everything was a godsend, not insane.

Debian does not prevent you from installing stuff from elsewhere, it's just that their packages come with certain availability and stability guarantees. You may not care for them, but clearly bonkers it is clearly not.

How do they work with encrypted streams though (because aren't they all)?

How long ago was that? And did they quantify the problem?

I don't know that you can 'cast' using DLNA. Live streams and such.
