So what would it cost to replace all fossil fuel energy with renewable?

A loaf of bread is about half a kilo of flour, that's not much for a whole month!

Why is a utility interconnect for rooftop solar a big process, but balcony solar is just plug in? Simply a matter of scale / reduced risk of electrocuting line workers? No net meeting for balconies?

Adding solar so simply sounds great.

Picture? That sounds like a neat effect.

The wood looks nice to me as is, I would just do oil. I probably wouldn't use polyurethane unless it needed water protection / durability.

Report, block, move on.

Seems like at some point there should just be a hard limit on size / market cap of corporations.

41 adult men aged 18 to 26 (M = 20.17, s.d. = 2.16) recruited from a subject pool at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

So not representative of adults / the overall population, but still interesting.

Sexual desire was assessed as a composite score from three questions: (i) ‘Yesterday, how much did you have sexual thoughts?’ (ii) ‘Yesterday, how much did you have sexual fantasies?’ (iii) ‘Yesterday, how much sexual desire did you experience?’

First, a single item inquired about overall mate attraction efforts on each day: ‘How much effort did you put into attracting a possible romantic and/or sexual partner yesterday?’ (same 1–7 scale as above). Second, because such efforts may be highly dependent on social exposure to potential partners, we also targeted a binary measure of such exposure: ‘Yesterday, did you have a direct social interaction with anyone you found attractive as a potential romantic and/or sexual partner, but who was not your romantic or sexual partner at the time?’ (Yes/No).

Not a lot that's quantitative. But I guess I would expect to answer those questions differently over the course of a month.

Lovely light and cloth.

Also is the secret about the length of his left forearm?

I do think there's use in reputable sources enshrining obvious facts about bad things going on. Nice to be able to point to them and say "see, it definitely is bad!" when people want to pretend it's fine. (Or, "see, Exxon clearly knew decades ago," for the good that does us.)

Members include Chargepoint, EA, Tesla, Rivian, Ford, and flo, among others. Seems like a good list.

Surprised to see Shell on there, I guess they're serious about getting into charging.

My first thought too, though I'm hopeful there's nothing too established yet so a new standard can gain dominance.

 

I put three DS18B20s on a wire along with three SHT30s on D1 mini shields, all in a cardboard box indoors, for a day.

My conclusion is that the DS18B20s are actually more accurate. My Fluke's thermocouple also agreed with them.

The SHT30s all read several degrees higher, with the one that was at an angle reading a little lower than the others which were flat. When I turned them all on edge their temperatures converged a bit lower but still a bit high. I wonder if some of the spikes from their readings are just microcontroller activity.

I'm hoping to use the Tasmota TempOffset command to adjust.

 

The DS18B20 (on a Feather Huzzah) seems to miss some rapid changes that the SHT30 (on a D1 mini shield) reports, even though TelePeriod=60 for both. The DS18B20 does seem to report changes within 60s of each other sometimes so I think we're just seeing duplicate values elided, which I do expect.

The thermostat on the wall near them (which they'll be replacing) reports 70F, closer to the DS18B20. I have a thermocouple for my Fluke multimeter which I may try to calibrate in ice water and then use to calibrate the temp sensors, though I'm curious if there's an easier way; or I might not bother since I care more about just setting the climate for room comfort than specific numeric temperatures.

The data path is: Tasmota -> MQTT (Mosquitto) -> HomeAssistant -> InfluxDb. In this case the chart's just in InfluxDb's data explorer, though I have some dashboards in Grafana too (which was the motivation for having Influxdb).

 

I am thoroughly enjoying having Boost again, but I'm also definitely falling into a habit of scrolling for too long. It would be nice if Boost could help remind me to be done with Lemmy for the time being. One way would just be a limit in the number of posts that would load when scrolling down in the home view, probably configured via a setting.

 
 

I got a hitch installed by the dealer on my XC40 Recharge. Details were a little hard to find beforehand, so I'll share: 2" opening, class II hitch (despite most class II having a 1-1/4" opening), non retractable (though some other Volvo models do have one that retracts), and both a 4-pin and 7-pin wiring connector. Definitely not as slick looking as without the hitch, but looking forward to putting the U in SUV!
