So I have been asking myself why I held some of my beliefs, and the answer is that I "learnt" them at a really young age, maybe 4-10 years old. It was an age where I basically knew "nothing" and I guess I filed it away for clarification later and that "later" never came. All of a sudden I'm much, much older and asking myself why I even believe this strange thing and the answer is "they got me when I was young". If I wasn't exposed to other thinkers who asked me to re-evaluate my ideas, I might never have questioned them.

Not a recommendation exactly, but I use the Ryobi 18V range. The good part is that the mower, whipper snipper, etc are cheap, but the real win is that the batteries can be shared. This means I feel like the investment in the batteries is worth it, even as they age out. Ryobi batteries are also pretty good. Really wish a larger company like, say, Makita, had a shared battery system as large as Ryobi.

EDIT: Yep Makita do now. Nice.

I love how they're like... frenemies during the fight, so three's a bit where he grabs a metal pole and breaks a window of a car, realises what he's done, says sorry, throws the pole away, and they go back to fisticuffs.

Watched this recently. "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum".

No one has made mention of the 83.7%. I think it should be 17% odd smaller.

Sorry I know it's like that glass eyed guy from last action hero.

English speaking it's a solid 5% now, so I'd say it's one in twenty.

I was having a chat with someone about how they are more "Star trek future rather than Solarpunk future", and I found something off about it but didn't really think about it, but it's this. It's the idea that the key conceit of Star Trek being they are exploring for the hell of it can't really be true, and that exploration in itself is to try and get some dividend off it. Any "Star Trek future" which is not colonial is necessarily a Solarpunk future first.

OK she didn't say it out loud, but there's a pretty strong link between what she's talking about (homeostatic awakening) and what Solarpunk is.

Yeah same. I would much prefer they mainline the code as opposed to "supporting" it themselves.

I'm just using it as a space heater for my study, which is also where I work from. While using the computer in Winter I just switch on f@h for both CPU and GPU (AMD 5700x and 6700xt), and this heats up the room. It's a good 300-400W. I have home assistant telling me the temperature in the room and it bugs me to turn it off if it's too hot. That's my "temperature control". I didn't build anything, the computer is just under my desk and it heats up my room.

Originally my plan was to have F@H automatically turn on and off based on temperature, but it turns out the power is low enough and the lag is high enough that you switch it on in the morning, and then once the room is upto temperature you can just switch it off and the room will stay warm the rest of the day.
