  Well, I have seen drains clog up so bad that the parapets act like a bowl and capture the ~1m of water with the roof still staying mostly intact (although seepage would have greatly increased there), so something other than my calculations is holding up that roof.

  So I guess one would have to rely on the melting-refreezing to break down the roof, considering that without the phenomenon, the ice would be pretty fluffy and light.

  OP seems to be looking for LibreBoot compatibility, so it might not be as easy.

  snow load

  Now I am kinda curious about how heavy snow can get.

  I live in a snow-less flat-roofed region and the load capacity seems to be ~1.5 kN/m² ^[engineeringtoolbox.com/simply-supported-slabs-loa…]. So, even the cheapest compliant (maybe I should be checking govt. docs for compliance values) building not designed for snowfall should be able to manage 15cm of rain/snow.

  Well, that is much lower than the 1m of snow that I would expect building up in case it really snows and it could get higher considering the parapet walls tend to ~1m high.

  Nice points.
  I haven’t been following this one for a few EPs now because I treat this as a brain-shut-off anime and haven’t been in the mood to shuf off my brain lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a perfect anime?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I realised just recently, that having even normal scene progression choreographed with background music, makes a great difference in the impact it makes.
  I learnt that while watching Lord of Mysteries.

  Yes. Satire.
  I am poking at the current trend of evolution of products.

  Of course, cars are not wasting so much of energy on those things just by being turned on… Yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  battery management system, heat losses in the wiring, etc.

  No, that number corresponds to the WiFi you need to connect it to, to send all the telemetry and the LLM that will be running on some server in the US, picking data out of your telemetry and deciding which company to sell it to, while your car is powered.

  It would be nice to have a 300dpi 3D printer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit like this is why we need open source printers!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Might as well get one of the printers used by the national mint, to print your constellation.

  I would think of hitting Abel with a rock as being the most anti-Abelist thing and still, for some reason, it is considered Abelist? Very weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say you won’t really require batteries for something like this, that will mostly be generating less energy than it is expending at any point of time.
  Note that I am only suggesting filling the roofs and not the rest of the area around it.

  Besides, they most probably have a Double-conversion UPS, so they just need to make a controller that supports a side input channel for charging from the PV output.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That happens.
  That’s why I tend to make the list while I am hungry.

  I thought that was just a China thing and others learnt from them, not to make that mistake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see white roofs that can be dark themed to reduce the load on the grid.

  Wasn’t there a country with too much solar, causing electricity prices to fall too low?
  Do they not have any space left for data-centres?

  Of course it had more of it.
  Just that it didn’t feel like fan-service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 • Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru Season 2 - Episode 1 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The expression and progression seems to have changed quite a lot from Season 1.

  The progression made it feel like more of a 30 minute PV than a normal episode.
  The exposure scenes feel more like a fan-service scene than what it was in the first season.

  Don’t use that mop thing. Takes the fun out of it.

  Get a cloth, hold it in a good shape on the floor with you hands, put a bit of your weight on it and start running straight forward.

  You save on the Gym membership and get to do something much more fun than sitting on synthetic leather and moving a dumb-bell up and down, slowly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I require nothing more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Needs more HDDs.
  And more screens.

  I’m hoping there is an HVAC outlet not in view and the whole room has UPS.
