Planter doesn’t work very well, they shrivel and rot within a few weeks.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 2 weeks ago:
Okay, that’s resistive heating. So it’ll be the same efficiency as a oil heater or any space heater. So heating less space with it will save money.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 2 weeks ago:
Most all forms of heating are near 100% efficient, since it’s the waste heat you want. Unless the central heating is using a heat pump instead. Does your central heating use gas heating? If so, using it will probably be cheaper. If it uses resistive heating, the individual unit might be cheaper. But if it uses a heat pump, it might be cheaper to use central again. There are a lot of variables it’s hard to know.

I’m sure they have side effects, but I’d think that’d be better than breaking teeth.
- Comment on We are at the Wolfenstein stage of capital. 3 weeks ago:
Apparently that’s better for the teeth? It’d be the attack training that wears them down.
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 1 month ago:
Sometimes it requires Wi-Fi for setup. In that case, change the Wi-Fi password after you set it up.

Here’s a podcast from the show writers on the compromises and consolidations they needed to do for the mini series.

Linus didn’t say piracy is theft to my knowledge. He pirates a bunch of games.

You have I have very different ideas of tech illiterate. Most of the hosts have forgotten more than I care to learn. I guess if you work very technical tech stuff 24-7 you have a higher standard.

That’s the way that yields the longest combined watch time from the audience.
Do they go back and change thumbnails after a while? LTT does focus on a lot of evergreen content as well.

The only thing they could have done better was have the third party release the report. I don’t think they released it yet, but they had intended to at one point. Maybe the lawyers told them they shouldn’t?

I wonder if those are less likely to be blocked on networks.
- Comment on China and Philippines trade blame as ships collide 2 months ago:
It’s a game of chicken, but I’d blame China as they’re the ones trying to expand their maritime claims into the Philippines waters.
- Comment on Apple, Nvidia Are in Talks to Invest in OpenAI 2 months ago:
They were supposed to be when they started, but I think they closed up pretty fast once there was money to be made.

I thought the concern was manipulating public perception.
- Comment on 16GB of RAM Could Be the New Minimum in Apple's Upcoming M4 Macs 2 months ago:
But Apple isn’t buying consumer ram, they’re spending $8 to put on a different chip instead. If other laptop manufacturers are charging $50, it’s because they think they can get away with it, like apple.
- Comment on Now you'll be able to purchase sunlight at night! 2 months ago:
Might be fun for novelty on a concert venue or ball game, but I can’t imagine it’d be economical for solar farms.
- Comment on 16GB of RAM Could Be the New Minimum in Apple's Upcoming M4 Macs 2 months ago:
It doesn’t even cost that for them.

They’d need to grow big enough to turn off federation without much loss.
- Comment on xkcd #2976: Time Traveler Causes of Death 2 months ago:
There is no cosmic frame of reference. Earth is moving, the sun is moving, the galaxy is moving, but you can choose any frame of reference within that. It’d be really silly to use the suns frame of reference, you’d use Earth’s.
- Comment on Peloton announces $95 “used equipment activation fee” 2 months ago:
But this fee wasn’t there when people originally purchased this was it? If so, they will now have a less valuable product since they won’t be able to sell it as easily. Or are they only doing it for new units?

Part of it is literally named teenage engineering! The division working on the earbuds.
- Comment on NASA is about to make its most important safety decision in nearly a generation 2 months ago:
You don’t think starship will be able to be reliable? I think they’ll get falcon 9 like reliability performance at least, and they’re aiming for a lot better.
