Very old heaters used to contain lots of asbestos. It might have worked well.

It should be optional for free at least.

Forced ads should be illegal. It’s quite literally wasting peoples lives and a lot resources.

Suburbs are fine for district heating, but it’s a massive long term investment.

For UK in particular, I also think proper insulation and triple/quadruple window panes are much needed to curb with the increasingly scorching summers and freezing winters. I was surprised to see soo many houses with single paned windows in London.

The sand storage is used for district heating. It’s not much of a substitute for single homes that have electrical heating or are off-grid.

It’s a great way to balance both the electrical and the heating grids so that more electricity from renewables can be used to offset other means of heat production, but it needs to be done by the district heating supplier. I doubt it makes sense for individual houses.

The key is: Not fucking dying.

Did she ever “learn” Windows?

I’ve been using Windows since 95 and I can’t find shit in Windows.

I just puked a little.

I’ve tried a few different distributions and yeah, it varies.

It seems logical to get Ubuntu Studio for audio, but in my personal opinion it’s kinda bloated. I’ve tried most of the included software at some point and decided that I’m not going to use it.

I’d rather have a clean simple distro and then just install Reaper for all my audio needs.

That has worked out great on both Mint and Puppy. I don’t know about Ubuntu, because it’s been several years since I tried that.

I did also install a few games on Mint, but nothing like AAA games, because the PC doesn’t have a graphics card. I just play Minecraft and Sauerbraten. No issues with those.

Maybe I’m lucky, or maybe it’s because it’s old hardware or pretty standard laptops, but I’m also not trying much, so I also expect it to work.

Keep it simple. I think that might be the key, because I have seriously not had a single issue with anything, nor have I typed a single line in the terminal.

If I needed a multipurpose PC, I’d probably go with Mint as of now. I’d install one app at a time and figure out what I actual need instead of trying to make everything work at once.

That’s what I’m doing with my DAW right now. One plugin at a time. If something doesn’t behave, then I don’t need it. When I turn on the PC to make music, I don’t want to waste time fixing stuff. I’m totally over trying to fit a square block into a round hole. I’ve already tried that for too many years using Windows.

Besides the fast chopping, that guy also knows that his time is worth more than the piece of onion that he discards at the end.

what difference does it make if it’s through a web browser on the work desktop or my personal tablet.

Yeah what difference does it make? Why don’t you use your own device?

I love the NATO spending angle on this.

Promise to spend more on military. Build bridge. Call the bridge military. Success.

Same for the United States of America.

That’s the reason for taking the car. No fucks are given in regards to who owns the vehicle. If you get caught driving insanely in your friends car, it’s your own problem to explain to your friend why he doesn’t have a car anymore.

The only time I’ve heard of them returning the vehicle to the actual owner was when they confiscated a bus, which was needed for public transport.

We did that in Denmark this year, cutting a holiday.

It turns out the whole thing was a calculator mistake, and also, the same faulty calculator was wrong about needing it in the first place.

You wouldn’t download your mom.

All car manufacturers world wide are subsidized.

Of course China can make cheaper cars, because most car manufacturers get their parts produced in China anyway.

Their people?

The mentioned cars are somewhat outdated.

You might also want to consider newer models like Renault 5, Skoda Elroq or Hyundai Ioniq.

Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

That’s a pretty neat FPS for a tv.

we’re essentially removing them from the gene pool

I don’t think Downs works like that.

It’s already being removed, since people choose abortion over downs and since people with Downs don’t have children (normally).

It is not hereditary. It’s an error or mutation that can occur for anyone. The chances are higher the older the parents are.
