Looks like some good weather to be strolling about in just a short bathrobe.

This is really going to up my commute time.

Sorry about the negativity from so many people.

You do what works for you.

Ouch!

Thanks for asking. I went back and forth in my head since I've never heard it said out loud and never looked it up.

I do get a billing error about every 2 or 3 years. Usually something like they double bill a month, or the price for just 1 month is suddenly 2x - 3x the normal price.

I've used them for probably 2 decades, getter in because of the $1/month for a year deal.

I think I'm on the top, or 2nd from the top, tier. Has unlimited disk space, but it's not open access from the start. Every so many tens of GB you have to call to get the soft limit raised. They are trying to keep a bot from just filling the space up.

I use their hosted WordPress, so that they handle the upgrading.

I also have run a few wiki sites on there. Those install and run fine.

I wish I could figure out if I could install OwnCloud or such on there. I'm not great with Linux. You don't have rights to the OS, but anything you access through a webpage or FTP you can put there. You should have access to chron jobs, but my skills aren't there yet.

I mainly use them to host my own email domain, that I then access from gMail.

Biggest problem I've had with them is they will charge extra if you use a phased-out version of Python. So you have to make sure you keep anything using Python updated.

You'll be forced to use only Windows forever.

Hack on!

Isn't this just another type of insulation? Not saying it's bad, just that it's incremental, not revolutionary.

I wouldn't call this geoengineering.

Sorry about the rude responses from some people.

I think they are pronounced shitiodms.

Exciting! Enjoy the upgrade!

Thanks for the good explanation.

I think Brexit caused enough widespread, obvious, long term, ongoing, and unfixable pain for everyone that people are starting to see through the lies and move away from the ultra conservative side.

They killed Clippy! Those bastards!

Think of all the Russian jobs spreading misinformation on Tik Tok that will be lost!

Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

We could keep the 0 hour as the "middle" of the night and 12 being the "middle" of the day (though I'm not sure if that's really the sun's high spot for the day for any places).

But with fully controlled mirrors, we could make it exactly 12 hours, so we could just then switch to the 0 hour being when the sun comes up.

It's pretty simple, actually. A village somewhere in Europe that is completely in the shade all day for part of the year has already proven it.

Mirrors.

We just need a ring of motorized mirrors around the Earth.

At hour 0, the mirrors will rotate to show sun all across the entire Earth.

At hour 12, the mirrors will rotate to put all of the Earth into night time.

That lets the entire Earth have the exact same synchronized time synchronized with the daylight.

The mirrors will block the sun from parts of the earth facing during the night.

The mirrors will constantly be rotating to keep the proper amount of sun light facing each part of Earth as the Earth rotates.

The mirrors will be solar powered.

This will fix it, right?
