I can assure you it is true, but for transparency’s sake I will say that I have no idea what a single room gas heater is.. I’m pretty sure it isn’t what we are talking about here. Neither do I no what a ducted split system is.

A lot of homes - maybe the majority - it would be easier to knock them down and build them again. There isn’t a huge appetite for that…

I think it’s saying that people understood the message of recycling to be “it’s ok to use as much single-use plastic as you like” - so yeah it backfired?

I have no idea if it’s accurate, but would suggest that if it isn’t, then neither is the number of birds they supposedly kill a year

There was a #1 hn submission some time ago about a theory of how/why things have risen is price i.e. cost of educating a child now vs 100 years ago, but exam results are no better, cost of keeping someone in prison etc. but crime is no

I think of it more as ‘quieting’ the mind - the internal monologue - this does help with socialising, and numbing bad feelings, but it’s still useful when neither of those things are relevant I.e. winding down after a full-on day. I socia

I don’t mean this to sound overly dramatic, or performative - it’s just an idle thought - but what I’d like now is twitter, 144 characters, no images

This is often repeated here, but from where I’m sitting it self evidently isn’t true. I wonder if it could be because in the US there are so many automatic transmissions, and hearing high revs is relatively rare.. but most cars here are man
