My imposter syndrome kicked in full swing. I was ready to learn a CSS best practice and feel uncomfortable about it for the rest off the day.

I don’t get it, isn’t this a pretty normal way of using media queries. Granted you’re more likely to see the widths defined in px.

On behalf of all Nordic countries, I approve of this.

A moist bint lobbing scimitars at people in the middle of jänkhä? Sign me up.

Someone thought me the concept of a legal fiction and I still think about it.

Land ownership, companies, nation states, citizenship: all exist because we agree that it does.

Interesting, thanks for sharing that!

I have been running the numbers on one myself and it seems to me the best case would be to actually have one inside my home, since the waste heat will also end up heating the space. I admit it is similar to just having a lot of thermal mass in the house.

Yes, also it doesnt technically have to be sand, there are concrete mixes and even just bedrock that can be used for similar purposes. I’ve been looking at sand batteries myself for this reason: run the battery hot when power is cheap, let it cool when not.

This sort of thing is of course why it’s useful to have a market mechanism for energy, it can encourage us to build environmentally friendly solutions.

I get the sentiment in here, but the poster is missing an important point: there is a reason some group of lunatics (called the TSO or Transport System Operator or in some cases other power producers) are willing to pay for people to consume electricity when there is too much of it; They are not doing it for the sake of being lunatics, the electrical system cannot handle over or underproduction. Perfectly balanced (as all things should be) is the only way the grid can exist.

The production capacity in the grid needs to be as big as peak demand. The challenge we face with most renewables is that their production is fickly. For a true solarpunk future, the demand side needs to be flexible and there need to be energy storages to balance the production (and still, in cold and dark environments other solutions are needed).

In off-grid, local usages we usually see this happen naturally. We conserve power on cloudy low-wind days to make sure we have enough to run during the night (demand side flexibility) and almost everyone has a suitably sized battery to last the night. The price variability is one (flawed) mechanism to make this happen on a grid or bidding zone level.

They would already know to a very high degree, because the device associates with a specific cell tower, and the cell size is quite small for 5g networks, especially in cities. I don’t see why they would need a more accurate info.

So that’s what a skull cap is.

I mean, I am fine with my hobby website being taken down if it starts to consume an unreasonable amount of bandwidth.

They don’t need to give a free tier and I am not entitled to getting anything out of them. Since they have decided to offer one, I do expect to be consulted before sending a bill worth a ferrari.

I just checked I have no payment method on file. Should protect me.

The company behind Home Assistant also maintains ESPHome, so I’m sure hardware hacking conversations are welcome.

Real MVP.

They can design the chicken coop, but only for spherical chickens in a vacuum.

The judgy look from the cat makes me feel so guilty afterwards. It’s like ‘I trusted you enough to groom my balls in your presence and this is what you do?’

No thanks, just groom your balls man, I get it.

It’s surely possible I’ve been seen by a lynx more times than I’ve seen one.

A pity.

Sadly these things are quite rare, I’ve only ever seen one in nature.

I always have a hard time resisting the urge of grabbing a leg and pretending it’s a car transmission stick shifter.
