I suspect you missed my point

I have never figured out how average global temperatures can be such a sure thing. Where I live (rural US) temperature forecasts for "right now" are always off, sometimes by three or four degrees. Currently the NWS says it's

Battery life is probably relative. I lost one of my Casio F91s in 2018. Found it last week while packing for a canoe trip, the time and date were within seconds of the Casio F91 on my wrist.

Interesting aside, looking forwards, slipper slopes are a fallacy. Looking backwards, slippery slopes are a no-brainer.

If you get a paper statement then they ought to be sending you an annual report explaining power creation stuff, total and average usage, etc. When I switched to the online statement I stopped getting the report. Should be online too, just

Yes, missed the word "off"

By reference do you mean area? I only know any of this from the annual reports they sent when I lived in Lynchburg. I do know that the do not cover anywhere east of the James River.

Yes CT highways are soul sucking. The endless monotony of urban sprawl is mindnumbing. It is little wonder I hated driving anywhere as a child.

One of the wildest things about New England is how a short distance gets you a totally different culture. I used to go to New Britain (CT) a lot, what a different world from the Windsor area. I was really given a wake up call one day when I

Ah that could be it. They state that they generate 100% of all their power needs with hydro, but I know power markets are weird black magic entities. It's possible they could really generate all their power needs with hydro, but then s

Website is somewhat inaccurate. The Appalachian Power (AEP) for central VA is 100% hydro, yet the whole of Virginia is colored like coal.

We moved from downtown in a city to an hour from the nearest store, in the middle of a 20,000 acre expanse of national forest. My life long allergies disappeared inside of a year

I am from northern Connecticut on the Massachusetts border. I had a fairly typical rural New England accent. As an adult I decided I wanted to own a farm and I hated the NE winter, so I moved to southern Missouri. I now sound like I was bor

I agree, it's often enough not reality, but I nonetheless find a greater trust in the products I buy in a brick'n'mortar store

by pard68 3y ago
Whether real or perceived, this highlights why I buy almost everything I need in a physical store; there is an implicit statement that the product is good enough for the store owner to carry. (I also avoid chain stores, I basically only sho

I'm not sure I live within three hours of a pay-to-park. But I also live an hour from the grocery store.

What's wild to me is that 1-3" of rain / hour is about our norm for any given storm (southern MO, where evey cloud is a microburst). Really helps put into perspective how little rain Cali is used to.

Huh, I haven't had to pay for parking in a decade. I hate phones, and modern tech.

Missouri checking in, I do not have any idea what that chart is. I selfishly love east coast/gulf hurricanes because they always mean perfect weather for us.

Very certain. The colloquial term is "maypop" and the scientific term is passiflora incarnata. There are numerous species, this is the most northern and its native to the southern US. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik

I love pawpaws. Had never heard of them until I move to the southern US. Now I can't wait for fall. We freeze them and eat them like a custard. Another favorite fruit I'd never heard of but is native to the southern US is passion

My baseless theory is that he hasn't realized his minders have cut the cord. This stuff happens from time to time. Someone who is propped up and aided by a government agent begins to feel like they are an insider. When they screw up, t

Weird that a lack of systemd was called out as a problem. Your pid1 can be any of a myriad of tools, systemd is just the (current) dominator. Only a few years ago I was working on RHEL machines without any systemd to speak of.

I gave up a high-end consultancy job because I felt like I had no ownership. But I know others at that job who love that they can help lots of different orgs. I think this mindset is just one you either have or don't have.

I live in a national forest. My road bisects a portion of it. My backyard is 20,000 acres of untouched forest. Across the street is another 10,000 or so acres of the same. We have bears. They even show up on my property (200ish acres). Bear

Figured it out! I had LSP configured to use the two lit typescript-ls plugins but because I was using web-mode, that language-server was never kicking in. Going to try getting treesitter to do the highlighting and then hopefully LSP will pr
