Edison’s electricity was the same 110volts. But it it was 110v from generators to peoples homes and thus suffered greatly from resistance losses.
Telsa’s AC however used high voltages for distribution and step down to 110v at the final destination, so the resistance losses were much lower. Edison’s propaganda conveniently glosses over that fact.

Genetic evidence clearly shows native americans origins are from Siberian people. While there are evidence Polynesians made contact with them before europeans, native americans were already well established for tens of thousands of years before then.

Enter capcasin. Mammals find it intolerable (except for one subset of a goofy bipedal species), but birds love that shit.
I know someone with a dog that loves jalapenos. So its not just us.

- Comment on Wood heater pollution is a silent killer. Here's where the smoke is worst 2 months ago:
If your burning wood in 2025, youre most likely living in a rural area. Space isnt an issue.
- Comment on Wood heater pollution is a silent killer. Here's where the smoke is worst 2 months ago:
Ive used wood heat most of my life. Its more of the wood quality thay effects that. Dry, cured maple or ash burns clean even at lower temperatures. Most of the impurities come from volatile compounds such as burning green wood, or wood with oily resins like pine. But sure, its less efficient, but its not that big of a difference.

If you buy the wood… perhaps. But if you know some people in the arborist business, you can have all the wood you could ever need for free. However, it is a lot of hard work to saw and split the wood yourself.

Unless you are awake to refill it every hour or so… slow burning means consistent heat throughout the night.

The amount they collect is far more than the operating costs. But theres a hidden benefit… market visibility. Thats the true value that makes it worth valve’s high fees.

Wait until you learn how much many Linux systems relies on python.
As for “enabling contributions from programmers of all skill levels and keeping server costs down”
Thats no issue so as long expert maintainers are code reviewing any pull request and not letting garbage commits in.

Do you think people go “oh darn… a stray managed to get by my defenses, i guess they live with me now”?..
- Comment on Meow 7 months ago:
My point?
What benefit could i have from “caring for another being”? Me, personally? The other being, yes, maybe. But me? I could never care ADEQUATELY for any animal.
Hypothetically, if someone that was very close to you was in a terrible accident at has become paralyzed and no longer capable of taking care of themselves. What benefit do you have in taking care of them. Will you just abandon them? I would hope you are not cold hearted as such. Obviously there is such benefit as companionship with another living creature. Im not judging you for not wanting a pet, i dont have one myself. But you are coming off very cold.
