GDPR. Honestly, one of the greatest laws ever passed by anyone, anywhere. No hyperbole, it's so simple and pro-dignity. It also offers a simple litmus test: if you oppose GDPR, I oppose you.

Fear of missing out, or FOMO, is one of the advertiser's most powerful tools.

Alright, Columbo, calm down.

Eeehhh... no. I get your point - and agree with the reasoning - but when you advocate that good people have to bite their tongue for fear of bad people misrepresenting them, well, there's something wrong with that.

And before newspaper?

Yeah, but... Why did you capitalize 'Good' and 'Neil', but not 'omens' and 'gaiman'?

I'm already in a number of communities about beige nineties computers, thank you very much.

I'm ready now. Fuck sterling, fuck the vetos, fuck the opt-outs, etc. Yeah, the special arrangement we had was amazing and put us in a privileged position and we'll be diminished if we rejoin without them, but that's still a far better situation than we find ourselves in now. So yeah, warts and all; I'm in.

I read it as "chairman". I thought, "awww, adorable and anticapitalistic".

Fuck YouTube, sure, but holy shit fuck any useless dipshit who plays music off YouTube as part of a public performance, especially a goddamn funeral. That's disgusting. Utter incompetence and charlatanism to make that kind of lazy half-assed decision in that kind of situation.

Fuck it, I'll bite. The reason for the +1 area code wasn't just because of the US, but they and a few other counties coming together to create a standard. +1 isn't the US, it's the North American Numbering Plan.

 

These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect 𝓼𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓰 height. The Romans were/are with us.

 

Does anyone know a way of calculating the amount of heating I need to maintain an average temperature in terms of kWh of heating per 24 hours? Ideally one taking into account weather conditions.

I have a pretty big Home Assistant setup which includes switches for individually controlling all the (electric) heaters in my home. I'm also using an electricity supplier that changes the amount they charge every 30 minutes to reflect supply and demand. Given these rates are published at least 24 hours in advance I can currently choose a number of hours to run the heaters per day and have an automation automatically select the cheapest periods. I'm paying less per kWh for heating than I would if I was using a gas boiler. Plus, it's all from renewables, so working out that number of hours is the next step.
