My comment was tongue in cheek. Solar and AC are a good combo.

I'd argue there's still a energy+climate reckoning coming where energy won't be as abundant as it has been and high energy use activities (like AC) will be more challenging. the EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Invested) of renewables/low-carbon are much lower than peak fossil fuels.

Incidentally I'm the same as you I'm so socialised on sleeping under something I do it regardless of temperature

I was thinking more booting to a few from a usb and playing around.

I think the usual consensus is Linux Mint (and its a solid distro) but I think the best advice is not to be afraid of trying different ones and finding out what works best for you.

Personally, I'm planning additional physical storage of photos off site. Not yet configured but planning for a subset of photos deemed too important to lose to be automatically printed and stored on physical media (DVDs).

In general I'm hoping it to promote a more careful approach to what media really is important to keep.

Oh then I was being dense. I actually use kg because I'm of a generation that was only taught that and have no internal conception of stones :(

British people are annoying more likely to reply in imperial units to this question.

Strange - I can't reproduce that. It's the wiki page for Simo Häyhä.

I think the latest understanding of the impacts from the calibre of nuclear weapons we have now is if anyone is nuked we are all fucked regardless of location but sadly that doesn't seem like enough of a deterrent :/

The third law is "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

I merely meant that the beauty of mathematics and natural science was a form of magic.

Go on?

Although a second look I agree they don't look right for that. Guess I should have taken more graph theory modules.

Arthur C Clarke would like a word.

I wasn't sure if Feynman Diagrams.

I really want to learn this stuff. Its looks so much like magic

I think this inherently accepts the narrative that the work women were doing before had no or little value.

That care and emotional labour should not fall solely on women and we should all have the opportunity to partake in meaningful work but we shouldn't accept having to accept less time for care (and leisure) on some trumped up definition of what's productive/economic or not.

I'll go out on a limb that Raccoons won't rummage here :)

I agree with the sentiment but if they have a cafe selling things in disposable packaging then the best thing they can do is provide bins to deal with it. Pretending they don't generate rubbish is just a false accounting trick.

According to that site you can downgrade the firmware (some people really disliked the various UI changes and the firmware is getting quite prescriptive)

You can also run your own homebrew apps so I found someone who installed KOReader which they claim is better experience than default reader especially for pdfs and also link better to personal cloud storage.

There's also ability to use locally stored Web Application Frameworks but I'm not 100% sure what the use case would be.

If he retains an ownership stake doesn't that mean he still takes home the profit of Brewdog so boycotting would still be effective/desirable?
