Of these alternative forges I actually came across notabug first. I however was never able to establish how it is funded and who the people behind it are. Yes, The Peers Community", I followed that link too.

They all are. That doesn't mean they don't tell their vendors what to produce at what price. That's the business model of Chinese fast fashion after all.

And nobody ever lied on those Chinese envelopes with the value declaration. ;) Also, I can tell you that the country of origin field has one of the lowest entry qualities of all fields. People just don't bother, and customs don't

I did scaffold building exactly one day. I knew why I had to absolutely start taking my opportunities more serious at the end of that day.

I was once over 90 minutes late on a TGV. Naturally, SNCF reported a delay of 59 minutes when calculating my rebate...

The reserve is true too: if anyone says it's NOT good enough for them, then it's done. Actually check it out yourself, and give yourself some time to get used to it. If you care about not using PS of course.

People say this, but I didnt have such issues using Gimp compared to PS. They are different, that's it. The main thing I missed were stackable layers, but it was not a huge issue for me.

1990s called, they want their efficiency back ;) Sure, you can still find good weather heat pump that crap their pants near or under freezing. However, the majority sold here in Europe still stay well of 200% down to -15C, some even -25C.

Americans elect Trump who openly supports a company of his biggest donor. Also, pork. Americans just don't have a problem with it.

I sincerely doubt much is left of those self-correcting mechanism in the US. They are being deconstructed at high pace currently, and not even in secret, and apart from a delay by a judge here and there, it's crickets. We will see what

Well, and XULRunner was based in XUL, something Mozilla was trying to get rid of for very good reasons.

I took half a dose daily, but went down to a quarter but that still gave me nosebleeds.

I did it for a few weeks but I started having nosebleeds daily so I stopped.

Sure, switching to heat pumps doubles (probably triples) your storage, or, cut the storage energy in the form of gas by 66%. But, I thought we were discussing decarbonzing the storage too. Looking at that amount of energy, (chemical) electr

Is your airco unit by Mitsubishi Electric or Mitsubishi Heavy Industries? They are unrelated!

by brnt 2y ago
If we are heating with electricity and cannot use gas storage to make up for the seasons, chemical batteries are nowhere near price effective, or even physically or projected to be available. You can find out how much energy Europe stores i

This. Commercial fruits are as engineered as candy bars. Well.... Almost. In any case, apples are often too sweet. I don't eat candy either.

> I have to give the CATO institute credit for not being co-opted That is because it is doing the coopting. It's why it was founded, and why it keeps being funded. "Charity" is cheaper than paying taxes, after all.

I was a huge nerd for having a PDA in primary school. I still am surprised every time I step in public transport and see hundreds of heads bent down staring at tiny screens.

Everywhere that is never tested. How do you know for sure you are on good soil, and that no contaminated soil was used under your house and garden, which no doubt were levelled before construction started? This includes feed. Commercial ani

Heating a house through a stove is also inefficient. In terms of heat generation (no heat recapture from the water generated in combustion, let alone the increased effiency when heating with heat pumps) and in terms of distribution (single

What I am saying is that that use is incorrect as well. There is only one way to understand numbers, and that is scientifically. I.e. significant digit.

The technically correct thing to do would be to educate on precision, perhaps even display it, such that people know that 12:00 means a time between 11:59 and 12:01, not 12:00.000.

A microwave meal is prepared, it just needs to be warmed up. Cooking usually requires one to transform matter somehow, which takes longer or requires a few steps. Plus, as said, much energy is lost one the stove or oven. E.g. boiling a pot

I agree, but it does give one pause to consider those costs as well.

Cooking costs is more important. I saw an interview with a poor Brit a year or two ago, who had an electricity meter which took coins. He said the main reason to eat microwave meals is the energy cost: a few minutes of microwave is far chea

If you configure your server(s) through nix and nix containers, then even without another host OS you are basically running nix.
