fedia.io is the replacement you're looking for. It's an mbin, which is a branch from kbin

You just said that AC can't make an indoor space cooler than the temperature outside. This is completely wrong and easily disprovable by simply asking anyone who lives in a hot region. The air conditioned indoors is always MUCH cooler than temperature outside.

Like, how do you think freezers work? The temperature inside the freezer stays below freezing while the ambient room temperature is 80 F.

AC is an ACTIVE heat pump. It can push heat out to where it's already hotter, because it's using energy to do it. What you're describing is a passive cooling system, but air conditioners are active systems that use energy to push heat against the gradient. It's like how a passive water pipe can only have water flow down from it's highest point, but a powered water pump can actively move water upward to a point above where it started.

Fyi some microwaves have a way to set it to silent mode. I think in some models it might even be an undocumented button combination to do it. Web search your exact model to see if there's a way to do it

I have no idea what you're trying to say

Explain to me how they could easily tell it was a bomb that was placed there 2 months ago. And that it was detonated remotely. And all the other details.

If this is true, why would they release the information about how they did it?

Yes there is some psychological warfare effect that will make hamas people feel scared for a short amount of time, but it will also make them change their security procedures to help prevent this method from working in the future. Their forensics were going to determine that it was a bomb, but they wouldn't have been able to tell that the bomb was planted so far ahead of time.

I'm not convinced this story is true. I'm not saying it's false, but i am saying they had no incentive to tell the truth, and in fact they have incentive to lie so that hamas puts work into securing against the wrong method.

Actually, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, but light travels slower through a medium, like air. So lasers shot through air will actually travel slower than c.

Big blue is a nickname for IBM, but i think you're referring to Intel

1. Pedantic. You're arguing that false advertising isn't illegal. But it is.
2. As the other poster said, perpetuity isn't what was advertised, lifetime is what was advertised. Lifetime is a common term used in legal claims. It can refer to lifetime of the person, or lifetime of the device a service is used on, or other things, but it is a specific and enforceable term.
3. See number 1.

1. Marketing promises ARE a contract. Companies aren't allowed to advertise a thing and then not do that thing. That's false advertising and fraud. Companies aren't allowed to say they offer a product or service for price X and then actually charge price Y. This is well established law.
2. You either didn't read or didn't understand the article. Multiple times in multiple ways the company said it's offering a lifetime price, which is different than a price offered only for a limited term. They very explicitly said “T-Mobile will never change the price you pay” and "T-Mobile One customers keep their price until THEY decide to change it. T-Mobile will never change the price you pay" etc. etc.

But did it even in this case?

Why doesn't any testing get done before updates are pushed out? I'm not talking about extensive testing, I'm talking about like just making sure it doesn't cause major problems?

The 35% of men who didn't do it had previous experiences with electric shocks from fences or electronics

View includes being able to see the sky. These permanently block some of the view of the sky.

Since the video's point is that awnings are too unattractive for people to use them, then hot damn is that so much worse. Solid metal gates - for when you want your house to look like a convenience store in a bad neighborhood when riots are about to start.

Boy, in 1994 this would've been huge!

While that may be true, it doesn't make people want them any more than they currently do. People want to have their full window view available whenever they want it. This means it needs to be retractable and extendable at the push of a button. And once you have that, it's easy and helpful for it to also be automated

Make them better looking and push-button retractable from inside, and people will want them.

EDIT

At 16:40 he suggests high tech awnings that automatically unfurl and retract to provide the ideal amount of shade on each day of the year. Seems like a nearly perfect solution to me

Haha i have some very funny news to tell you! The lyric is actually "tenth avenue FREEZE OUT"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenth_Avenue_Freeze-Out

In some cases yes, but in some the misheard lyrics are actual better
