  Well I think the idea is more that for some reason water needs to be treated with something that removes surface tension if you want to safely pipe it to people’s houses. At least that shouldn’t destroy all life.

  Does it really matter that much if the first copy takes a while though? Only doing it once and you don’t even have to do it all in 1 go. Just let it run over the weekend would do though.

  Sadly I think none of those options really apply to me. We don’t usually have basements here and dehumidifiers are more commonly used in winter rather than summer. Washing machine I do have but run it on a low temperature so while that would work it isn’t going to be making much difference. Clothes dry outside, don’t have a dishwasher, water is from the mains, no EV to charge.

  A well could be nice for garden water rather than using the mains but I live in the middle of a town and my back garden is only around 50m², that said I just looked it up and apparently you don’t need permission if you extract less than 20m³ a day. So from a legal standpoint I could do it and there is no way you could use that much water for a residential property unless you have a large pool that you are regularly filling and emptying for some reason.

  I live in the UK and have been swimming in the sea since April, main limitation I find is if it’s a warm day or not as getting out to cold wind is pretty miserable. Water temperature is just a suggestion - double digits is optional. Though yeah 8°c usually means it will be a short swim.

  Currently the water is 19c in the sea where I live, never seen it this warm, so I guess thanks global warming?

  This sounds like a level of rich I was previously unaware of. Pool heater?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Amount of Electricity Generated From Solar Is Suddenly Unbelievable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in the UK so no AC and tbh not really worth bothering with it. What really could excess solar energy be used for in summer? Also don’t drive so no car charging, got a heat pump for heating and hot water but heating is unused in summer and hot water isn’t used much either. Just a little for showering but even then not very much as I go for cool showers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Amount of Electricity Generated From Solar Is Suddenly Unbelievable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If energy has a negative cost wouldn’t this make it worth doing things that take a lot of energy at that point like mine bitcoin?

  Not sure how much would fit that though, industry that can use a lot of power and is ok with irregular running times. Hydrogen production through water electrolysis is a popular idea but not sure if it’s at a point of being useful at scale.

  What should you look at with choosing which film to get? Some mention more about insulating to keep heat during winter. I am mainly looking to reflect thermal energy during summer.

  Also all that is happening is they the covid tax discount they had is being reduced from 75% to 40%. Any impact of lockdown on people going out is long gone.

  Only if you are able to get that experience though.

  And who is buying things from the corporations, keeping them in business? You can’t just absolve yourself of guilt by saying Ford are responsible for the emissions of your new F150.

  Sure, some people do make a bit of change, but plenty don’t. This is also a large part of the problem.
