The same here but my heat pump sucks all of the moisture out of the air, so the number on the dial does not equal the comfort of the house.

I bought a humidification system and will install it soon and hopefully I’ll be able to drop the number once there’s a little bit more moisture to convey the heat to my body in the air.

Sucks to suck. It’s interesting and too much to include as a simple reply.

My hot take is that there is no way in hell an entire planet of people could be armed with planet destroying weapons and not immediately go around blowing up other planets.

You’re telling me that there’s never been a single rogue captain in Starfleets history that has just not started unloading photon torpedoes and plasma blasters and all kinds of crazy shit on a random planet just to see what the fuck happened?

Think of the mining potentials if nothing else? You can just sift through the wreckage rather than digging.

Wake up sheeple

Search engines are your friend. The information is out there Wikipedia has a lot of it.

I’m laughing because I’ve done my part. I have told everyone who would listen that the orange turd was an orange turd and like Cassandra they wouldn’t listen to me.

I’ve got a big spoon and a great big empty bowl of schaudenfreude to fill, and I intend to gorge myself.

Stupid fucks get what they deserve and if the world goes down in flames it’s on the rich to fix it.

He was also known as Llew Silverhand.

Every time somebody mentions Firefly I automatically think of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

Bruce Campbell in a steampunk cowboy romp across the old west?

That show ended way too soon.

Surge soda. They bring it back every once in a while but the demand isn’t there.

Luke Skywalker’s story is a retelling of Nuada Airgetlám, the first king of the Tuatha de Dannan, in a sci-fi fantasy setting.

Because there is a cultural Zeitgeist about this even if it is not well known, it had a better well of mythology to pull from and therefore it had more impact than the sequels and prequels which were repulled from the saga of Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy.

I think the lack of depth for all of the movies since the original trilogy come from the fact that they do not tap into any other sources than their own source, leaving them all feeling hollow and sterile compared to the original.

You could also go to any point in time where you were already of the age of majority and purchase a large winning lottery ticket the drawing before our present history indicates that it won.

That would get you plenty of money and then being a rich lottery winner and purchasing a million dollars worth of Apple computer or something I would not be that particularly noteworthy.

Just go and spend the rest of the 10 or 12 million dollars that you have living conspicuously and wait out the 20 or 30 years until that initial million dollar investment makes you nearly a trillionaire.

I bet you would get the time wrong and end up in Sodom.

Just learn from the past loops mistake and don’t make it okay to rape visitors and you might not get turned into salt.

Sylphium has been rediscovered. They are currently cultivating it and examining it for it’s various properties.

It never went extinct, the issue was identifying it with the shoddy record-keeping of the past.

It’s not so much the fire in Alexandria that you have to worry about although that is what is remembered, it’s the people who are setting fire to the library of Alexandria that you have to worry about. A single fire extinguisher won’t necessarily stop people from killing you and then burning everything down anyway.

My suggestion would be to also include a machine gun and a couple of hundred rounds of ammo so that you can kill them first and stop the fire from ever being started in the first place.

I probably go to the late 1400s American east coast, wherever it was that Columbus landed and bring a couple of machine guns and a few grenades and claymores alongside an electric ATV and tow cart filled with a solar power recharging station, a shit ton of medical equipment, food, and hardy seeds.

That bastard Columbus would not survive setting foot on this soil, and his failure to return from his world-changing exploration mission would delay European expansion at least for the remainder of my life likely.

I would then make the mid country journey to my home tribe and use the information and technology that I brought with me to accelerate their advancement and development so that whenever the Europeans finally made landfall, assuming I didn’t break down or get killed in the process they would encounter a developed society fully prepared to fight a home team advantage war against them.

Per user costs for a website is on the number of pennies a month and most of that is for electricity.

I can plug in a $750 second-hand server with a xeon processor, 40 TB of storage and 128gb of ram and easily serve all of the needs of several thousand users on essentially any website type for $1.50 a day.

Sure, if you throw in video and a lot of bandwidth then the number would go up, but for pictures and text and website interaction on the par of bluesky or twitter or mbin sans hosted video it would work very well.

If I reached the point where I needed to expand for the raw processing I can just throw another $1,000 and $45/month in electricity at it and double how much I can handle.

Computers are stupid cheap. Internet services are stupid cheap. Asking for more than a dollar a person per month for anything that doesn’t have licensing fees on it (like tv/movies) or very high bandwidth usage (like YouTube) is a greedy rip off.

That being said, at those prices I would not make anything for running the service, and that also would not cover additional development costs for any new features that needed to be added, but even so, unless your goal is to disenfranchise users you should not charge more than a buck a month or hell, $10 a year per person for all of their access to your service.

The maintainer Ernest had some life issues come up and he was not able to maintain it anymore. When it hit a snag he just did not have the energy left to keep it going.

This information is third or fourth hand so there may be something else going on that I’m not aware of but that’s what I was told.

I tend to remember what I need when I need it, to the point where it’s creeped out my friends.

In high school I was talking to my friend and over the phone I hear his dad asking where his favorite cup is and I remember that 2 weeks prior when I was over I briefly saw it in the top left cabinet over their stove, so I told him.

It was still there.

Kind of bit me in the butt though because his dad became uncomfortable and didn’t let him invite me over anymore, lol.

It’s not for them. Exactly.

We don’t choose not to speak ill of the dead because we’re going to like offend the Dead or that we’re going to invoke some sort of spiritual curse on ourselves.

We choose not to speak ill of the Dead so that the people who still miss them and love them and care for them won’t live in a world where the people that they care about are being slandered.

It just saves everybody a whole lot of grief if you let the dead be the dead and move on.

Sure, if you have a personal grudge against the person then that’s a different story but if you did not ever interact with that person and they are a bad person then just let them be dead and let them fuck off into non-existence.
