I'm glad your typo was "start trek" and not "start wars" because rambling is a noble hobby and warmongering is... not so much.

Alright, Columbo, calm down.

Eeehhh... no. I get your point - and agree with the reasoning - but when you advocate that good people have to bite their tongue for fear of bad people misrepresenting them, well, there's something wrong with that.

And before newspaper?

Yeah, but... Why did you capitalize 'Good' and 'Neil', but not 'omens' and 'gaiman'?

See, the thing is, I hate the styling of it, but I absolutely love that car makers - freed from the rigid designs demanded by huge combustion engines, transmissions and fuel tanks - are actually trying stuff out.

I'm already in a number of communities about beige nineties computers, thank you very much.

I'm ready now. Fuck sterling, fuck the vetos, fuck the opt-outs, etc. Yeah, the special arrangement we had was amazing and put us in a privileged position and we'll be diminished if we rejoin without them, but that's still a far better situation than we find ourselves in now. So yeah, warts and all; I'm in.

In case anyone is wondering, Neil Oliver is a an ~~anti-vax~~ pro-death, ~~climate change denying~~ anti-science conspiracy theorist. He made his reputation as an affable nature lover presenting a number of shows on the BBC, including the excellent Coast, but now has jumped to the right-wing ~~"news" channel~~ echo chamber GBN where he can spew bile totally unchallenged.

Fuck him, fuck his lies, fuck his demented viewpoint and fuck his attempts to drag the world down with him.

 

These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect 𝓼𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓰 height. The Romans were/are with us.

 

The apartment blocks - two of perhaps a hundred - are surrounded by open greenery, wide walkways and dense tram networks. Most of them have café bars, bookstores, grocery stores or the like on the ground level and loads of benches, play areas and exercise equipment dotted about. The place is rife with Third Places.

The remarkable thing about these is that, to the locals, they seem fairly unremarkable.

 

Does anyone know a way of calculating the amount of heating I need to maintain an average temperature in terms of kWh of heating per 24 hours? Ideally one taking into account weather conditions.

I have a pretty big Home Assistant setup which includes switches for individually controlling all the (electric) heaters in my home. I'm also using an electricity supplier that changes the amount they charge every 30 minutes to reflect supply and demand. Given these rates are published at least 24 hours in advance I can currently choose a number of hours to run the heaters per day and have an automation automatically select the cheapest periods. I'm paying less per kWh for heating than I would if I was using a gas boiler. Plus, it's all from renewables, so working out that number of hours is the next step.
