    So, this is TOTALLY doable with two caveats:

    1. For most things, you’re going to need a variance on high-efficiency and pollution laws. Those old appliances weren’t sipping water and electricity, and their refrigeration cycles threw out tons of waste heat and used refrigerants that were super rough on the atmosphere.

    2. They’re going to cost 3 times as much as a current appliance. Those heavy metal fridges were expensive back in the day, they were equialent to thousands of dollars today with shitty freezers and manual defrosting. Cast metal and shipping are disproportionately more expensive than the used to be.


  • My wife started watching tt, I had just escaped the youtube client, reddit and facebook. I watched we swipe past 6 things and pause to watch one for 30 seconds, then swipe through 4 more. OHHH FUCK NO, NOT TODAY SATAN.

    I do have to admit, She gets her news a LOT faster than I do. But she also gets a tremendous amount of knee-jerk conjecture.

    Honey, did you hear X?

    Umm, that doesn’t sound quite right.

    grumble well I just saw it, but whatever





  • At home, I have a shit ton of in-wall HD’s behind TVs, a Dream Machine SE Pro. A 16 port and an 8 port POE switch.

    At work, I have a Pro Max, a 24 port enterprise switch, and a handful of access points. I also have one of their door controllers with its attached video doorbell.

    Their cameras aren’t bad, but they’re overpriced. I went full reolink and haven’t regretted any of that. I use their protect nvr stuff at work, and while it works, it’s not great. If you just want something easy to set up and go, it’s good enough. If you want to do some really complicated, complex things, you’re better off with frigate or blue iris.

    Their VPNs a little bit light duty. I don’t know if it’s still the case, but when I did my setups there was no local DNS option. But that’s easy enough to take care of.


  • The other upside is that Google Docs aren’t entirely compatible either. So people are already used to imperfect versions and needing to pass around PDF’s if output matters.

    The biggest problem I see is Microsoft can only cleanly collaborate with Micrososft and Google with Google. The second you open that docx in Google, all bets are off.

    The real downer is the libre’s lack of supported online collab, that’s pretty much a requirement for business these days.




  • My electronics teacher weathered it pretty well.

    This is a basic circuit. These are how the electric and magnetic fields work. Oh and Franklin fucked up a long time ago, made a guess, and he guessed wrong. So, realistically, electrons flow from negative to positive, and the holes they leave behind flow from positive to negative. (he had already covered PN junctions so it scanned) It doesn’t change the math or anything, just know that electron flow is negative to positive and that’s the last you’ll hear of it. And we all said that’s dumb. And now, in my life, this is like the 5rd time I’ve talked about it since I learned it in 1992.


  • 9/10 for ingredients

    2/10 for prep/cooking

    Cut that onion in half to make 2 disks, then quarter those, add just enough water to steam, cover and cook until soft or the water steams away, add butter and sautee until the onions are medium brown. Cube the cheese and add to the onions, stir until melted, add a pinch of flour, maybe a crushed and minced clove of garlic and cook for another minute, salt and pepper to taste. Butter and toast the inside of the roll spread the cheese and onion mixture.

    Consider taking an antacid if you can’t handle garlic and onion.


  • So, it doesn’t actually change anything; everything still works the same.

    But textbooks need to be thrown away and remade, every circuit diagram, every electrical engineering plan, decades of research and research papers have to be combed and corrected, or accept that they’re wrong.

    While technically possible, it would create colossal risk and unending chaos and It’s environmentally unsound, for something that doesn’t change anything in the end.

    Lazy is not checking your mail.

    Refusing to turn reality on its head for a null change in the end is something else entirely.
