Oh, don't worry, I'm sure you'd consider the beans I buy "pretty junk".

You do sound like a snob! It's a De'Longhi Magnifica S (typically 300 EUR, 250 on sale). Yes, that's their entry level offering. It's not junk. The coffee is fine. I buy decent beans, which helps. I'd recommend it t

239 EUR, yikes. That's 10 EUR less than I paid for my super automatic espresso machine. I guess it may be worth it if it lasts a lifetime (which my espresso machine won't, even though it's been going strong for like 7 years).

East: Now do the per capita figures. And then do the per capita figures, cumulative back to 1900. Or even 1990.

I like my Steam Deck, but I've found it only works for games that were designed for controller input. Controlling the cursor with the capacitative pad never clicked with me. Unfortunately that rules out most of the games I like to play

Ironically, I found it more fascinating at double speed. A bit more relatable, somehow.

I occasionally think about getting a mechanical keyboard, because I'd like a nice keyboard. But I have no interest in it as a hobby, and the whole topic has a similar vibe as the audiophile community. I feel like the chance of getting

People have studied post viral syndrome (I guess you could call it "long cold", though it's not limited to cold viruses) for a while, though covid has given rise to much more research.

What you're saying is apparently true for the International Fixed Calendar, but not the Sol Calendar. According to [1], the first (and second and third...) of every month in any given year is the same day of the week, but the mapping c

That's what it looks like when you have a small module and put it in a flashlight. What does it look like as a 15m2 billboard?

That's got to be your car, otherwise the number is insane for one person. Maybe check if something is drawing more power than it should.

I googled it. Your source is much better. But it's in the same ballpark, anyway.

Where it always goes, waste heat. In the case of LEDs, about 50% to 60% of the power draw escapes as heat. Of course, incandescents are much worse.

Well, infamously, German households tend to generate heat using gas, and not electricity. AC is rare. EVs are rare. Either way, I wanted to know what the actual power draw of those signs is, and since it was given in multiples of a (German)

About 113 GWh, apparently. Total power usage is 400-500 TWh. So a drop in a bucket, but many of these measures will add up to a couple of percent. No idea how much energy it takes to reprogram/renew the signs. If they just turn them of

Average power usage for a 1 person household in Germany is 1300 kwh/year (roughly, numbers vary, but not to a degree that it matters). That's about 150W sustained. So 1500W for a large sign, that's like 150 high power LED lig

First of all, "in the US alone," is misleading because the vast majority of BBS and their users were actually in the US. Another vague assertion stated confidently, but without sources. How do you know this? What percentage is a

Apparently, there were close to 7000 Fidonet nodes in 1990[1]. What's a reasonable average for distinct user accounts per node? I don't know. If it's 100, that's 0.7 million already. Compuserve had 380000 users in 1987[2

by morsch 4y ago
If you say so. I don't have any hard numbers (I would love to see them, either way), but I think there was a brief moment around 1990 when BBS usage was more widespread than the Internet. I wouldn't (and didn't) say BBS usage
