Abuse doesn’t usually fix anything.

I used to work in HVAC. I remember we had a small cold room that was struggling to maintain temperature, as in, design was supposed to be 0°F but it couldn’t get below 36°F. There was a large hole in the box that was undoubtedly the cause of the problem, so I asked the installer how they accounted for that. “Oh, I doubled the infiltration value.” When I tried calculating the actual losses it was way, way higher than the infiltration value. Like, the room needed someting like 3-4 times its total refrigeration capacity to reach target with a giant fucking hole in the box.

No idea who thought putting a giant hole in the box was a good idea.

Good.

Personally, I really, really, really wish we had a viable third party candidate. I don’t want either of these fucks in office.

I have some in my closet. They’re still good, I checked them yesterday!

Cops are the ones who think skin contact can cause an OD.

He was impeached for it, which is charging him with the crime.

Sounding is measuring the depth of something. Sounding rods used to be a stick you put into a tank to identify how deep the liquid was in the tank, sometimes with marks on the rod. Maybe I’m just old.

In part because traditional farms scale better than aeroponics or hydroponics. In part because farms don’t pay for the environmental damage they cause. Because of these two points, there is little incentive to industrialize aeroponics or hydroponics.

What is true right now is that traditional farms use more water, fertilizer, and space, cause more environmental damage, but require less labor. And the labor problem can be mitigated with robotics, if we’re willing to invest in that.

I frakkin’ love the bonus panels.

I wish they weren’t in the US either.

With an adverse event rate of 0.06%. Meaning only 33 per million people required hospitalization.

The device you’re thinking of might be a peltier or thermoelectric cooler (TEC). But yes. They’re way less efficient than a vapor compression refrigerator, though.

Oh man, been doing that for 10 years!

I use Firefox and have uBlock installed. I still get an error when I click on NSFW posts. Old.reddit still works, though.

I understand that the problem is being on mobile (and not on old.reddit). Everything might work fine on desktop.

To me, this falls under the Paradox of Tolerance. Acts of hate should be strongly discouraged.
