The problem isn't that they won't create them, there's insufficient biomass to populate them.

If I want to talk about a 5-year-old video game with myself, I'll just open Notepad.

Unfortunately there are way too many variables just to answer that definitively.

If you put a thousand Watt resistive heater in a room 1,000 watts will generate 1000 watts worth of heat give or take. But if you use a heat pump, 1000 watts of power can be used to move 3,500 Watts worth of heat outside to in. Speaking from a theoretical power concept.

If you're heating your entire house to 20 or 30° above ambient, you'll have losses on the roof in every wall, If you're just eating one room all you have are the losses of that room so insulation becomes a weird thing to calculate.

You can't just let your pipes freeze if you're a freezing zone, but generally unless you're central is super efficient, maintaining a comfortable temperature in one room is more cost-effective, heating one room should cost somewhat less than try to heat the whole house no matter what method you're using.

I used enlightenment for something like a decade. When Gnome hit the big time I used Gnome because it looked Nice and was very flexible. I went back to Mac and Windows Land for a bit, when I came back I went Gnome again. I just screw around for a day looking and picking plugins and fighting with it to get it exactly how I wanted it. After fighting with one of the older plugins that mustn't doing what I wanted to do I saw somebody mentioned using KDE. I tried KDE and sure enough every single thing I was plugging the hell out of Gnome for was a default setting in KDE. I'm currently running Plasma. I must say that Cinnamon's not bad either.

If you just tweak what you're looking at a little bit you can easily move that statement back to all of recorded history.

Somebody's either funded or otherwise convinced a whole bunch of different hacking organizations to go after everything not nailed down. It's not just archive.org there's been so many breaches and exploits in zero days that came out of the woodwork in the past 30 to 60 days. It certainly could be unrelated, But there's a monumental amount of hacking going on right now.

There's a current ongoing effort to hack an infiltrate as many things visibly as possible. They're trying really hard to destabilize as many things as they can perhaps leading up to the US elections perhaps making headway more who the fuck knows. In any case they are turning over as many stones as possible.

You're right you'd probably have to be careful. Might need to balance the purchasing with mining.

Roy and Moss together are far greater than Roy and Moss separately. I would watch another 50 seasons of that show even with the audience background laughter.

The argument is that the rich and powerful are rich enough and powerful enough to corrupt the system and not have to pay taxes.

I would go back to the inception of Bitcoin start some kind of shop, maybe pizza ice cream and donuts and offer products for Bitcoin. Any profits I Madoff non-Bitcoin sales I would sink directly into getting people to give me more Bitcoin.

Absolutely worth it.

During your next review cycle hey boss I improved my education I'm now n-certified. I'd like to be considered for a promotion where I can better use my new skills.

Between the lines: You're either going to give me a bump in salary or position or I'm now more marketable than I was and I may just leave.

And on the upside, if you do leave you are now worth more money.

The CCP does have absolute control over the Chinese manufacturers though. Any a data available to the manufacturers has to be readily available to the government. It's really weird when external companies want to do business in China they need to have a partner company in China that handles all of their data inside the country to cover the government regulations. They really don't go halfway on that firewall of China thing.

 

A channel better known for testing air tools created a pseudo calibrated light meter and started testing random flashlights.

Here are some tests they did with actual brightness on name brand flashlights.

It turned out better than expected. (13m)

Smooth voice over, making food.

An hour of a guy running around what is likely the most complicated map ever made for Doom. Horror, Time travel, Teleportation, Doom. It's creepy, brilliant and absolutely bizarre.

IF you place the cats house just right, Scar can no longer get out of his corner. He us unable to path through a one body wide hole. When I need him, he's always in his house or pacing the graveyard

I wish we had save slots (self.dreamlightvalley)
 

Finished my star path (down to the last few duties to recoup stones) I'm most of the way to having all the Dream light achievements done and I have 8 slots of almost every resource item.

I'm not much of a decorator. I'd kinda like to replay some of it, but don't want to drop everything before the next starpath update :)

"Hahaha is this what damage control looks like? Spez showcasing his brilliance once again."

 

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the sunbird feathers for the Dapper Wall-E quest line seem to respawn at least twice a day, 4 at a time.
