Ironic - wanting to force everyone to behave a certain way is one of those toxic behaviors!

Let’s remember the role givesomefucks played getting Donald Trump elected, and how much the folks like him talk shit about the New York Times because “billionaires” when it suits them.

I just set my ecobee to “auto”; the only possible inconvenience is the required gap between heating setpoint and cooling setpoint so it doesn’t constantly flap back and forth as a result over overshooting the setpoint. I have the gap set to 3 degrees and tend to shift it up and down seasonally (e.g. heating setpoint at 72 and cooling setpoint at 75 in the winter, heating 69 and cooling 72 in the summer)

Insolation and air infiltration based on wind conditions likely affect loss as much as outside temp, and the thermostat doesn’t know that (it could presumably learn to relate time of day, cloud cover, day of year (solar angle), wind conditions with that - but it would take 2 years to learn and its response would be opaque - most homeowners want bang-bang control since they understand it.

There is plenty of coordinated inauthentic behavior here. You’ll notice it when the first few comments of every post somewhere like /c/politics consistently reinforce the “talking point of the month” to sow division among groups not aligned with Russian success.

blatant hypocrisy is a power move

He has a deficit in abstract thinking, so resource extraction (oil) and low-value commodity goods manufacturing and about as far as he goes, while he chases scientific research, knowledge industries, and long-horizon efforts out.

it doesn’t make sense to him that we should keep the beautiful parts of our country, beautiful, like Forest and national wildlife preserves, and make our money from culture, tech, finance, communication services, etc. while we buy oil and lumber from elsewhere.

The whole “China is taking advantage of us” thing is a hoot - the reason those factories are in china is because American management and corporate boards took great advantage of cheap labor and very intentfully moved production.

If this bothers you, you can short an amount equivalent to your index fund’s holding. But you’d have to track and maintain parity against the proportional allocation of the index fund as Tesla’s market cap changed and you invested more into the index.

So Eric Trump in 2028 then

They drink White Claw and $7 Kirkland Signature prosecco, not French champagne.

also, call out trolls and shills - lemmy doesn’t have inauthentic behavior detection mechanisms, and it’s really easy to evade bans by creating accounts on a dozen instances.

If they act like a troll, fair enough to call them a troll.

that’s some interesting looking pho; giant piece of steak rather than thinly sliced beef, can’t say I’ve ever seen mushrooms or cilantro, and a whole star anise pod, wow

He wants Democratic voters to withdraw in apathy or exhaust themselves on some “pure” but ineffective effort, and employs shame tactics to demotivate.

It’s pretty transparent.

Yes, having 100% of federal employees laid off is surely less impactful than having 20% laid off.

Gold coins have no value other than scarcity either. if they weren’t hoarded, their price as a industrial metal would probably drop 90%

This is like saying the Visa or Swift transaction clearing networks have no value. they clearly do.

The Russian way

Do you prefer Soviet, or Chinese, style socialism?

What bad-faith behavior and sockpuppeting looks like:

I gave up on cute or clever names a while ago; now I go with “storage0”, “router0”, “wap00”, “vmhost0”. Always with a numeric suffix because there will be a -1, -2 some day.

Guessing you’re behind one of those <1%ers like Jill Stein?
