I think that’s a humidity thing.

Anyone living in a desert biome? U get that problem too?

You’re aware of the problem, so that’s a step in the right direction. Imagine what it’s like for those people who just find themselves in trouble all the time, but have no idea what’s going on.

Did you buy a house with the money you got during those years?

Aww, they’re so cute too. And strawberries as well! I’m sure she will love this.

Unexpected Debian.

Latitude and clouds really matter in these calculations. Further up north, the light gets weaker, so you’ll need to compensate with more panels. Also, the sunny hours fluctuate wildly between the short days in winter and short nights in summer.

The article mentioned Birmingham, and in that case, solar is just one of the many power sources they’ll need. Solar can support the mix, and in the summer it could even dominate for a while. They’ll still need a lot more from other sources.

The closer to the equator you are, the more sense it makes to use solar power. In places like Germany, it’s already fine, in Greece it’s really good. Anywhere south of that, it’s clearly the best solution.

Conversions tend to be inefficient, but in this case you can use only the best kinds of conversions.

They’ll use cheap electricity to heat up the sand, which is approximately 100% efficient. Then, the heat is stored for a while, and that’s when some of it will leak through the walls. Not a whole lot though, because of insulation and a small surface to volume ratio. Eventually, the heat is used to heat up water, which is another highly efficient conversion.

If you convert another form of energy back to electricity, you tend to lose a lot of it as heat. Physics just loves to use heat as the final destination for all sorts of energies, so it only makes sense to aim for utilizing it instead of treating it as a byproduct.

It even has a ⭐️⭐️ rating considerately printed on the disc as a warning to anyone who might be interested.

As instructed on the disc, you should wear headphones. Buds or speakers just won’t cut it.

Kinda miss the bad old days when 1.5 €/MB was considered super cheap (about 5-10 €/MB was normal). It made you frugal. You tried to avoid going online, instead of scrolling all day long. I have very mixed feelings about that time.

This should cover it fairly well.

I’m ok with that.

However there’s also !lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world if you have lots of positivity to share.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I’m concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.

That observation doesn’t surprise me, since about 10% of the population is gay. Other types of queer people are a significantly smaller minority.

Also, the term queer just rolls off the tongue much easier than an acronym that never seems to be inclusive enough. I like this word better than any of the acronyms, but I can totally see why some people don’t want to be called queer.

I don’t really follow the US news that much, but I have been watching some legal eagle videos from time to time. It’s been pretty wild. Seems to me that laws don’t really matter any more.

Well, recently I also saw a news headlines about federal courts ruling that certain executive orders were illegal etc. I guess you may still have some hope.

Ignore the big price label you see on bread, coffee and other food items. Look for the small number in the corner that says €/kg. That’s the only number that really matters in the long run.

If you have only 15 € in your pocket, and you need to survive till the end of the month, this tip might not be very helpful, since you also need to be aware of the sum you pay at the checkout.

Risky comment of the day. Maybe they just don’t like to hear what I have to say. Maybe I could have been a little less blunt about it. Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Both extremes exist. Hence, the condition about loosing your grip on reality.

People above a certain age should begin to avoid social media and stick with more private forms of communication like email, phone calls, signal messages and f2f discussions. Once your ability to tell fact from fiction deteriorates enough, announcing your opinions publicly becomes increasingly problematic.

It should be 1 week + a few hours, so they the gum appears in the mouth when the person is sleeping. This way, they might wake up in the middle of the night because of the horrible taste in their mouth. Ideally though, they would wake up in the morning and find that there’s a sticky gum in their hair.
