Check out the bags under this guy's eyes. He's not even thirty

The inconsistent sizes of the guys did it for me

It's one time that question is correct

She's adding more layers to the convoluted origin of this pizza: put a Thai sauce and Swiss cheese on a German version of a Canadian pizza by a Greek immigrant who named it after a US state

Anyone can be old enough to remember the song if you don't limit your music consumption

Edit: "one" to old

The submitted in writing part

Using nfs on ext4 file systems, I've always just added them to fstab and it works just like that

Do they not have apartments where you live? Walk-ups, home conversions, etc. Everywhere I've lived, this was super common

I wonder if that's due to the body distorting

What shows were you watching? I can only think of the Exorcist and Psycho, but those are kind of unique falls. All the others I can think of were comedy pratfalls and definitely not fatal.

They only owned up after lying and obfuscating for years. California said they work with manufacturers when they are out of compliance, but brought their lawsuit because VW wouldn't cooperate

Countries have defaulted on their debt.

It was too weak to use. It was connected but with no bars. It was probably well outside the city where they still had power

About a month ago, almost the whole city (northern Germany) lost power for about forty minutes. My signal was down to an unusable edge connection. I really don't know what the rules are

That's what I meant, the device is directly next to the heat source. It's never going to be accurate. And you can tell in the way people use the two systems. In Germany, people don't think about our check the temperature of the room or what the dial is set at, just, I'm cold, turn it up. In the US, the room is set to a specific temperature and just left alone except for day/night, home/away.

But, anyway, the comment was about how they wouldn't work for Nest, and that's true. You'd need a third party solution. It would be hard to sell these and then say, hey, by the way, you can't use it until you go out and buy something from someone else and install it

I haven't been in many private houses in the Netherlands. I could only speak to Germany

Yes, but they are not electronic and they don't reflect the temperature of the room like a wall thermostat does.

TBF, over 15* in Germany I've only seen a couple of actual thermostats. The vast, vast majority use a valve on each radiator. There are electronic solutions for the radiators, but sticking a Nest on the wall is going to do nothing for someone unless the customer installs specific hardware that the Nest would have to support

*edit : years

Vaccine nonsense got all around the world

Is it just wishful thinking that we don't have 3+ years until the election?
