6·4 days ago“You can’t punish the voters for the things the people they voted for did!”
That recipe is quite popular in the Midwest!
I know what you’re saying is true. But my gut tells me the whole thing is still suspect.
Imagine it this way. Libraries have a lot of books, and to make room for new, popular titles, they have to get rid of old books which haven’t been checked out in years.
Enter a book enthusiast. Say what you will about him, or why he’s here. He enjoys spending time around knowledge. He hangs out with his friends here. But his role in this library is that he pays for the pleasure of burning the designated books. He pays a pretty penny for the privilege of setting a book on fire. His money is important to keeping the library running.
Do I recognize his place within the library system? I guess. Do I want to be his friend? Hell no.

1·13 days agoYour first sentence, set aside so nobody could miss it, in quotation marks.
That would be one hell of a fridge if it did! But my number was meant as an illustration of how the math works, not necessarily accurate to any specific refrigeration device.
Oh, I see what you’re saying!
That’s not quite how refrigerations works. The energy doesn’t “go into” doing the refrigeration; the energy you’re bringing in from the electrical grid is still in your home.
In other words, if your fridge runs at 200 W, then your home is being heated at 200 W, plus whatever heat is being pulled from the inside of the fridge.
Where are you getting “a few dozen watts”? I see ranges of 300-800 W online.
Not so negligible! If your fridge draws, say, 1500 W while it’s running, then it releases 1500 W of heat into your living space PLUS the heat it’s removing from its interior. That’s pretty substantial while it’s running! But hopefully it’s not running full-tilt 24 hours per day lol

They should get one! That’s a very normal thing for a library to have.

5·19 days ago“And that’s why dad went into the cheap retirement home and doesn’t live with us.”
I love the qualifier “known human” hahahaha!
“Should”? Hell no. “Do”? Yes, all of them, all the time, no matter whether I know about it or not.
Good lord, please lead with that in the future! Censorship is much more convincing than “there’s an account I don’t like”!
Do you have a more convincing argument for Bluesky being a “Nazi platform” than “a government organization opened an account”? Because they could literally open a Lemmy account tomorrow on whatever server.
