I quit smoking over a decade ago, but if I had the opportunity to light a cigarette from the Olympic torch…I’d take it. Probably also use that cigarette to light the pilot lights on my water heater and then all my showers would be heated by the Olympic flame (technically speaking).

Life imitates art:

I know, right?!

Bench please.

Clearly we need MicroUSB-C /s

I say exactly what I want to say and fork anyone who has a problem with it.

If those are my two options…start looking for my projects on Codeberg I guess.

I had the same problem - the correct size blinds I bought were broken and had to return them and could only get a set that was 1 inch shorter 😠

Ended up moving the mounts slightly inward so the gaps were on the edges. The two smaller gaps on the sides were a lot less noticeable than the gap in the middle. Also ended up putting curtains up to cover the edge gaps, though it wasn’t strictly necessary. I keep them pulled to the side, and they’re purely decorative / to hide the edge gaps.

Sadly Lemmy isn’t exactly known for being the most nuanced group of people.

So you’re calling out doxxing by…helping them spread the doxx?

At least pop it into GIMP or something and blur out the private info.

That was supposed to be a scary proposition in the 90s, but I’d love to have that kind of job security today.

Is there a USB stick inside with a Debian ISO on it?

They enabled Anubis on Sopuli but erroneously applied it to the API and pict-rs paths yesterday. That’s probably what’s messing it up and why it works in a browser.

Heat pumps move heat. In the summer, it’s pulling heat from inside and moving it outside and the opposite of that in the winter.

Basically, the temperature differential is what makes the difference. The larger the differential, the more energy it has to use.

In the winter, when it’s 30 degrees (F) outside, and you want it to be 70 inside, that’s 40 degrees it has to move. In the summer when it’s 90 degrees outside, and you want it at 70 inside, that’s only 20 degrees.

Air source heat pumps, as the name implies, pull heat from (and exhaust heat to) the ambient air. When it’s really cold in the winter, there’s less ambient heat to move inside, so it has to run longer. Some (all?) heat pumps also have an auxiliary resistive heating element to make up the difference which lowers efficiency quite a bit.

Granted, newer heat pumps can work well down to lower temperatures without having to engage the aux heat than the older ones I’m familiar with, but in a nutshell, that’s why they can potentially use less energy in the summer.

Now all I want to do is invent a blended cocktail called “Kernel Panic”.

Can’t forget its pseudo-predecessor America’s Funniest Home Videos and all of the guys recording themselves getting kicked/hit in the groin to try to win $10,000.

Who wouldn’t want to be Frankie when they grow up?
