Ah, I bound join lines to :join since I don't use it that often. I still encourage you to try binding something to 7j (or whatever number of j's feels right). One of the best shortcuts of my life.

Yes, I use :<line number> very occasionally, mainly if I know I need to edit a certain line number in a file and just opened that file. But for regular use the time to type in a line number is just too long since I can't touch ty

Doesn't your whole post rely on the assumption that outcomes in the cases they measured don't correlate closely with outcomes in the (far bigger array of) cases they didn't measure? Don't you have to show that before you

If that were true then solar panels really aren't that cheap. Having to run your mines inefficiently should be counted as a cost when comparing the two. Doesn't mean that solar panels isn't still the best thing, of course, ju
