Ooh kinky, I like it.

The formatting on my PhD dissertation was flawless. Fonts, colors, layout, immaculate.

Sure, I never finished it, but the 3 months I spent dialing in every setting in every buried menu of MS Word was time well spent.

Blasphemy.

As a fellow ADHD person, this is a really hard one to maintain, but the really important thing here is just being conscious of the difference in calories between different food groups, then learning for each ~100 calories you eat, you have to walk a mile just to burn it off.

Pair of absolute thots

Several people, including children, suffered “health complaints, such as dizziness” after eating sweets from three 1kg packs

I’d provably be dizzy too if I’d just eaten 3kg of sweets.

Instead of Firefox we need hundreds of stripped down browsers some first year CS students cobbled together in their basement for browsing the web.

Or something like that, I didn’t quite follow either.

“By last year we technically meant there were 25 days last year in which that wasn’t the official conclusion of the ICJ”

Yep.

The VPN speeds will be throttled pretty substantially, and low ram will result in some instability seeding, but it should run. Good thing about torrents is they’re built for unreliable.

I’ve run a torrent box like described on pretty much every pi generation, and the pi4 was the first one where VPN speed was no longer the bottleneck.

Got it, so just vibes… Well, since you caught me on a Friday with a light schedule…

Amperage rating is maximum load, not how much it uses the entire cycle. I just so happen to have my washer hooked up to a power meter, and look at that! It doesn’t draw the entire load during the entire cycle (which would look like a flat line)!

Runtime is not correlated with energy use. Energy is actually much more closely linked to water usage, since it takes a lot of energy to heat up all that water for a cycle, and all that water weight causes extra load on the internal motors. The additional runtime of modern washing equipment is mostly idle time to allow for additional soaking, etc. and not contributing much energy use. Historical trends show a pretty steady decline in energy use. Here’s one study that found a 75+% decrease in energy use per load from the 90’s to the early 2010’s:

This is interesting, because when partnered with data on tub size, it actually shows that even as loads get larger, energy use has been decreasing over time:

(source is Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers again).

Back to your original comments about refrigerators, I’ll just add, going from ~1400 kWh/yr in 1980 to ~400 kWh/yr in 2014 is a 72% decrease in energy use (which is amazing), even while real appliance costs have come down AND volume has gone up.

IDK where you live, but 1000 kWh/yr for me would cost ~$250 ($0.25/kWh). Swapping a 1980s fridge with a modern one would pay for itself in just 2-3 years. Hell, I could even splurge for a fancy fridge and still have a payback faster than investing in the stock market.

These gains, largely driven by regulatory efficiency targets, all benefit the consumer and the electricity grid at large. Being cranky about the fact that “they don’t make them like they used to” doesn’t change the fact that meaningful improvements have been made over time.

Got a source to back those claims up?

Are those dollar values normalized to the same year?

You going off data or just vibes, because the only thing here that feels questionable at best is your post.

Sounds like the app worked as intended and she found the mushrooms she was after.

Clearly you don’t understand, both sides did something I don’t like, which makes them the same

What kind of monster plots a time series vertically?

Mmm school cafeteria fish, sounds delish and like nothing could be even remotely disappointing about that option.

Idk who went for the down vote here - such a mythical system sounds lovely (and someone clearly hasn’t read the news)

Ahh yes, the “thank God I have infinite money, I literally can’t lose” approach.

Use it? The US invented it. The US has historically funded it as part of their human rights initiatives. Like I said:

Also many of the sponsored projects help people circumvent authoritarian government overreach, which is something that until recently has been considered “good” for the US. The more freely information can flow the harder it is for authoritarian regimes to exert control.

Given the nature of the Tor network, it’s likely any “official” use within the US government would probably involve things like communicating with people working undercover / informants, etc., and not be something broadly discussed.

If US uses FOSS software in its operations (it does, everyone does) it has a vested interest in keeping these projects alive.
