They’re actually way more convenient than that! You have a strap on the inside of the window that you can use to raise or lower the shutters as much as you like. When it’s fully closed, the light is blocked out nearly completely though.

If I’m interpreting the other poster correctly, they might be referring to what’s known as Roll-Laden in German, and they’re outside the glass.

I live in a garden level apartment (I think, it’s mostly underground with one exterior wall above ground for windows, set into a hill) and it’s extremely energy efficient. We do have to use dehydrators, but that can be done in very energy-efficient ways.

The apartments above us are significantly less energy efficient, so the big drawback I see is around housing density, which is probably a bigger issue than heating/cooling energy, but I don’t actually know.

Holy fuck, Sardinia. Being dropped from a great height or beaten to death by people I held as babies while tripping sounds like one of the worst ways to go.

I like this, but I wish it accepted scientific names. Common names are not a convenient way to play

Nah, better to sacrifice a twenty year old to weinstein every year, cancel culture would make me have to think about my words before I say them

There’s a Pax Romana/olive branch joke in there somewhere

They’ll probably answer something like: around 20 deg/around 70 deg/room temperature/warm/etc

All of which are reductive, and the only non reductive answer would begin with our understanding of the concept of heat

Do people expect 13-16 year-olds to be more resilient to bullying than younger kids? Are they?

I’d expect that to be the most vulnerable age, but I don’t know. 17-18, I can see, but only because they’re more likely to have more varied social circles, and may be able to find more accepting groups on their own (though that could be a dnd group or an alt-right group, so that’s not necessarily a good thing). Again, I don’t really know anything about childhood development though.

Edit: is it doxxing to say the name?

As discovered from [4], she will not continue to love me if I do not share an equal love for the workplace based drama.

My favorite line

Is there more? I kind of want to know more

It’s different because these are now metallic compounds, which can become magnetically charged and may be able to affect the magnetosphere.

The magnetosphere is basically the ball of magnetic force around the earth that insulated us from solar winds.

Solar winds can destroy planetary atmospheres, when the planet isn’t otherwise protected.

The hole in the ozone layer was also a problem, but it’s more because the ozone layer protects us from a lot of ultraviolet light. The hole (which was not exactly a hole, but that works better for marketing) would have caused a bunch of cancer and exposed us to higher levels of toxic ozone on the ground, which are both big problems, but not for all life on earth

If the ozone layer fills with metallic alloys, it fucks with the magnetosphere, potentially to the point that the magnetosphere no longer protects us from solar winds, and that would lose us the atmosphere.

It also might not be that serious, but there’s no way to know until there’s a problem. Companies are rapidly increasing the number of artificial satellites in our orbit without any consideration to the potential consequences though.

Addiction changes you

The max is 24, and when they overstepped that with 48 strokes once, the recipient had to be hospitalized. I don’t know how it’s so harmful, but it is.

I really thought, because it was setting up “five spices” and china, that it was a lead-in to Chinese five spice as the only spice she could think of

That’s you indulging in your fears about cultural change through a straw man, obviously it will disgust you. Luckily it’s not real, so you can focus on other things.

The aluminum and other metals in the space crafts bond with the ozone, which could fuck with our magnetosphere. It turns out it’s mostly from satellites burning up on reentry, which makes way more sense though.

There’s a chance that the aluminum residue from hundreds of annual rocket launches will destroy the ozone layer, without which the earth will lose its atmosphere relatively quickly.

*the aluminum is from all of our satellites burning up on reentry, which makes way more sense.
