Those are great for keeping drinks and non-perishables cool in a shady area but absolutely dogshit for food or anywhere with a lot of sunlight.

I always keep my cars spotless. Slightly scented, never more than a little dusty, some dirt on the carpets but nothing more.

Now my home, on the other hand. That’s a fucking pigsty.

That comment was really awful, just super nasty and totally uncalled-for interesting.

I’ve never seen these used for condiments, but I used to see these being used all the time on soap dispensers in workshops.

It’s not possible for a heat pump - or anything - to even be 100% efficient, let alone 400%. Efficiency is measure of how much of the input energy gets converted to useful output energy, and since heat pumps don’t actually create heat the useful output is the compressor’s ability to pump refrigerant about. The Coefficient of Performance - the ratio between energy put in and useful work done - is 400% for a heat pump (give or take).

Knew what to expect. Clicked anyway. Wasn’t disappointed.

I switched to Qobuz about six months ago after also trialling Deezer, Tidal, Apple Music and YT Music. Highly recommended. Their curated playlists are excellent and I can’t believe what a different the higher quality and lossles bitrates makes. They pay artists way more than the other platforms though, remarkably, they’re the only (major) platform to actually publish per-stream figures, even if they’re only averages. Based in France if that matters to you. They only offer paid plans but do have free trials and provide users with a code for a third-party migration service to bring your playlists over.

These people are actively willing George Orwell’s nightmare into being.

The Ministry of Plenty’s forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at one-hundred-and-forty-five million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in rewriting the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than one-hundred-and-forty-five millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population went barefoot.

A phone would be a bit much, but an ereader with a solar charger loaded up with Wikipedia and a chunk of Project Gutenberg would probably last with a bit of care.

That’s a joke-turned-plot element from one of the Hitchhiker’s Guide books. The protagonist, a human everyman stranded with a primitive culture on a distant world realises he has no idea how electricity, steam engines, medicine, etc works but he becomes a respected member of their community by making sandwiches.

So to be clear: there is no correlation between weed use and hotdog use, other than that they’re both in decline. This means that they created this graph showing two unrelated datasets for no reason other than that they could. Or, maybe, because they wanted to use the cursed image of a spliff in a hotdog bun.

IF the phone can output enough power with it’s OTG port AND has the correct drivers for that cheap-ass looking USB framebuffer graphics thing AND that’s an active HDMI to VGA adapter rather than some shitty vendor-specific implementation based on some unholy bastardisation AND the phone supports external displays… then I still don’t think it’d work, tbh (but it won’t (it might though (it won’t))).

I should eat nothing but breakfast food from now on.

While this shit is permitted I don’t want to hear any Americans criticise another county’s cuisine.

Imagine having a multi-monitor setup like that and using the built-in d🤢sk st🤮nds.

Just a bit of extra horror for you: someone I used to know who stabled horses professionally told me that most of the bodies end up being sold to maggot farms. There was a maggot farm near us which had warehouses containing tile-lined troughs several meters long and wide - they looked just like swimming pools but, y’know, full of maggots - and they’d put the carcass in them for the maggots to feast on. If the horse’s owners wanted something to bury they’d (brace yourself) cut off the horse’s hooves and head and bury those.

I can’t afford organic tissues, I just use regular Kleenex.
