- Comment on do you use non violent communication at the workplace? 1 week ago:
Humanistic psychology has a way to describe things in very long and broad manners that might sell a lot of books to schools, but contain very little practical information.
Also, they often use specific terms that can mean one thing in psychology but means something completely different to anyone in any other field, who have not studied the exact psychology book that they’re referencing.
It’s a lot simpler than described on wikipedia, and you do not have to discuss feelings with your co-workers.
The point of including your own feelings in the sentence is to turn to the topic away from fruitless chasing of logical arguments where there are none or they are irrelevant. It’s about taking personal ownership of the problem, so that you don’t claim that it is the other persons problem, even if they are the one who needs to do something in order to solve it.

Very old heaters used to contain lots of asbestos. It might have worked well.

Suburbs are fine for district heating, but it’s a massive long term investment.
For UK in particular, I also think proper insulation and triple/quadruple window panes are much needed to curb with the increasingly scorching summers and freezing winters. I was surprised to see soo many houses with single paned windows in London.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
The sand storage is used for district heating. It’s not much of a substitute for single homes that have electrical heating or are off-grid.
It’s a great way to balance the both the electrical and the heating grids so that more electricity from renewables can be used to offset other means of heat production, but it needs to be done by the district heating supplier. I doubt it makes sense for individual houses.

Everybody loves composite numbers, but I’m missing the point in which this is advantage in the context of time. The only situation I know of where time needs to be divided is in paid work, and in this case it’s always converted to base 10 money.

- Comment on How come butthole scratches doesn't get infected with poop bacteria ? 3 weeks ago:
Now that is something I’ve never thought about before and also wish I hadn’t read.
Anyway, I googled it, and hemorrhoids are actually not necessarily open wounds, and if they are, at least the blood is flowing outwards which might hinder the bacteria from getting into the blood stream. The bacteria from the asshole doesn’t survive well outside the intestines, so there’s a low risk of them crawling back up into an open wound.
However it does happen, and that could cause blood poisoning, which is potentially lethal if untreated. You’d probably want to treat it though because you’d experience severe fever and other clear signs.
I’ll achieve this knowledge in the “don’t worry about it” folder.

So, I memorized all the binary digits in the waveform of a Metallica song and wrote it down from memory.
Unfortunately I’ve got a bad memory so I had to do them one digit at a time, but technically I didn’t copy anything, I only wrote down my own memories, right? Also, my handwriting is worse than my doctor’s so I chose to write it on a computer.
The funniest thing happened when I accidentally opened this text file in Winamp. It almost sounded like music, except that the drums were played like shit.
- Comment on Metal genres 4 weeks ago:
Not really. Whether or not a piece of music is boring has very little to do with the time signature.
It’s more like a framework.
Perhaps it’s also boring that most paintings are done on rectangular canvases, but I don’t think a painting necessarily gets particularly more interesting by being done on an oddly shaped canvas.

The company is probably going to charge their customers even more for the work you do in your working time.
Someone already pays that money. The workers just don’t receive it.
If everybody was self-employed, those are the prices that would be paid.

It’s more of a journalist thing. They take the words out of your mouth to reach their own conclusion fast and deliver an answer that’ll fit inside the allocated screen time.
“When you heard that people use things instead of measurements to explain the size of other things, exactly how shocking was it to you?”

- Comment on If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked? 1 month ago:
I once lost my glasses and used an ordinary drinking glass as a monocle as substitute. It wasn’t perfect, but good enough for me to find my glasses. (This was before cell phones had cameras).
Having been very near sighted for most of my life, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not really that big of a handicap. It’s mostly an issue for reading things, and even that can be done when putting it close enough.
I can’t really think of anything in a hypothetical apocalypse where 20/20 vision would be absolutely necessary.
