i am not sure, but what i think i read somewhere is “ren” (as in pa"ren"t), so you would go like my ren dropped me to school or something.

I am a mod, recieved such messages, and have reverted decisions. Often jsut knowing the person on other side is a human person, with some senses, gives you enough confidence to unban

so tax social media and gaming, not the shop

but phone is not comparable to heroin. gaming or social media could be addicting. if sugar is addicting, do we ban shops? because shops sell sugary stuff (similar to phone providing the addictive thing)

Congrats to you. While this does not technically fall in category of news that we consider, but i will allow this one to slip by. Have a happy life. Also, i do not think this this image preview needs to be marked nsfw. I think a ring is fine. Also i had to delete a comment of yours because you did not marks it as nsfw.

our peak summers reach 55-60 °C, but in uk’s case, they have additional issuee of being very humid, in whuich case, the percieved temperature is much higher.

Where i live, we have both options for solar, that is either to use batteries, or int the days, we directly use solar, and send excess back to grid, and consume from grid during nights. This is kinda battery less (you still need some smaller batteries to get consistent power rates, but batter pak size would be smaller.

When my wife and I built our house and sorted our (fucking massive) solar system our consultant said "Smart appliances are your best friend. Load the washer and dryer, set them to turn on at 10am before you leave the house. Set the airconditioning to come on at about 3 in the afternoon so that you not only get home to the AC/Heat but your using energy that would otherwise go back to the grid and then once the sun goes down you’re only maintaining temp which is way less energy intensive. Home batteries are still just not cost effective enough yet for us to justify one.

that just seems to be a lot of power being wasted. but i can understand your point regarding batteries. We mostly use “dumb” appliances (read not iot devices) and mostly just control manually.

I on the other hand am actually not a huge solar fan, but mostly because we are running out of resources, good quality silicon, silver and other value metals, and cost of solar wwould actually start rising. I am more of a nuclear fan, but i undeerstand, that smaller nuclear reactors are still a thing of future, and I also kinda get why people do not like centrralised large reactors. To me, that is still the most efficient way to generate power.

maybe it is difference in cost of living, or maybe solar output, our monthly consumption in peak summer hits some 1000-1500 units (arbitrary for now), we ourselves do no thave solar (some issues right now, but fixing them) but we in theory can get 100–200 units a day here, more if pick a larger unit, so that is, almost double of our reuirements. In winters, we rarely go over 300 (we do not have centrallised heating, and electricity is used in kitchen, and heating water), with a lowered output energy (lets say 1000 units a month) we would still be thrice over.

In long term, you would not be paying much on electricity, which is a saving. The upfront cost would be higher, but it is a good move imo, because retrofitting almost always has some shortcomings, like poor implementation, or unnecessary damage

so a no catharsis rule?

i did not say you are the bad guy, i am just saying, your comment did not add anything. I can see deleted stuff, and it was pretty bad (lets leave at that). nothing personal or anything like that.

So you think that like 30 people said it was deeply transphobic, but it wasn’t?

Never said that, i just said you don’t know what they wrote (which you admitted to, which is absolutely fine) but then you add that it must be bad, which was already evident. If i point something wrong about your comment does not make anything original deleted content right. you both can be wrong (at least in my opinion) because we are talking about totally orthogonal stuff.

without even knowing what they wrote, hating on it is not cool. you are just saying hivemend is right. it may or may not be. but whatever it was, you saying it is shitty adds nothing

also, can you please go through some other comments regarding polotical news. I wanted to discuss with all mods, but you replied here, so that reduces job by some amount

constitution is just fancy speak. I was dramatizing a lot.

I want something similar to how blaze replied for good news everyone. Just a sort 3-4 rules.

I will try to message other mods before actually changing rules, but yes

i don’t know a better way

i partially agree, but there are times where my own judgement is not good, and hence i want a somewhat object ruleset, which a majority amount of poulation agrees to. If i do all i want all will nilly, i would be a dictator. Now i could be a benovalent kind, but lets be honest, most are not, and i am no special human

it is “free” if you sail the seas

(but even if yo do everything legally, alcohol can be very expensive)

you can use pressurised air to clean the duct. Some verterbrates like to call it farts

and much cheaper/healthier too

that is close, but that is not quite exact. To a bad person, bad can happen, but through a just way, what i look to say is, we should not loose our humanity in the worst situations, and one of its parts is empathy. so bad happening to bad person maybe is bad because it is not through a just action, but lets say someone causing them personal trauma. If it happens by their own doing, that may still be “just” (in a self serving manner).
