- Comment on Should I insulate my garage attic? 3 days ago:
I have the same problem with a different setup. Half finished walls. Nothing up except the roof. No insulation on walls or ceilings. 15 degrees hotter than outside.
Lack of insulation on roof and vents that are kind of blocked by the finished walls is my issue.
Solutions I've thought about are putting a vent up high, by the ^ of the roof. Putting a fan near that. Stapling insulation to the joists, just under roof, to keep some of that heat out.Out of left field solution: get a heat pump water heater. It will be a lil loud tho.

Seems easier to commercialize a mirrored site?

Open source? Or open source with a non-commercial restriction?
- Comment on 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good? 1 month ago:
Pest inspection at the least. You want to know if you have dry rot or termites.

- Comment on [Serious] Do you know of any processed snack foods with some vitamins? 1 month ago:
I know you've thought of this, but encouraging you to try again. Ive found that kids will refuse something to eat and then come back to it later when they are actually hungry.
It may take a tantrum and crazy cry session, but with love and attention they can normalize and get back towards a more normal diet.
I get that kids have certain things they don't like, but for anyone whose kids only eat things that are deep fry brown, I think it's worth the short-term crisis to solve the long-term aggravation and health issues. - Comment on [Opinion] Which is worse, Israel’s lies about Gaza or its western backers who repeat those lies? | Mehdi Hasan 1 month ago:
Are the down votes because some people don't like seeing Israel called on their shit?
- Comment on Is this discoloration a problem? 1 month ago:
Uhh.. is it legit to just cut thru beams to put in piping? Over half of those beams are cut thru. I'd ask about that as well. I can't tell where this is, but if the plumber cut thru load bearing beams to put in plumbing that might be an expensive fix.

Ok, I'll take back some of my hate. I thought they had put some sort of monsanto-like 'if you try to reproduce it on your own they'll die' gene.
If it's not 'pay $40 if you want another plant' then that's more reasonable. - Comment on My bioluminescent petunia 1 month ago:
Man... Fuck the US patent system.

Japan has been burning plastic for energy as part of its recycling process - I think the parts that aren't able to be recycled
- Comment on Germany just now approved new laws that make setting up solar on your balcony super easy 2 months ago:
What's interesting about this is that you don't have to necessarily pull permits for electrical work, as nobody is running conduit or attaching to electrical panel.
Im grandfathered into an old solar rate plan, and if I change the system or add more panels I'll lose that privilege. However, if I don't have to tell the city or utility anything, that opens the door for expanding with balcony solar panels. - Comment on Germany just now approved new laws that make setting up solar on your balcony super easy 2 months ago:
How does this work in practice? I saw one where you plugged the solar cell into a device and the device plugged into a regular wall socket.
Is it really that easy? - Comment on Best options for entry level 3D printing available these days? 2 months ago:
If you're only doing one project every once in a while, consider just ordering parts from people online. They do the work, and mail you a finished part.

- Comment on Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem. As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power 2 months ago:
Let's make a cheap battery.
Connect pump to body of water. Pump up when electricity is cheap. Let water run thru turbine when electricity is expensive. - Comment on California derailed its booming rooftop solar buildout.

Fuck pge. Nationalize it.
- Comment on Could We Build a Decentralised Social Platform Rooted in Place? 2 months ago:
Build it yourself. Stash several mini computers connected to Lora radios around town. Connect to form a mesh all focused on the same fediverse page. Connect wifi hotspots to those servers, connecting phones to the hosted page, not to the internet.
You'd get a localized community site that by design can't be infiltrated by people from across the country hating on you (e.g., San Francisco and Texas).
No idea on feasibility or how much work, but seems to address your question at least. - Comment on it works! only 99.99$! 2 months ago:
