It would be interesting to have such a statistic. Perhaps there was such a day more recently than we think.

Today’s not that day though. https://www.worldometers.info/

Perhaps the piezo speaker can still be used to mess with people.

I wouldn’t think too much into it. I guess that most users here just don’t have older kids yet, so they might lack the perspective of being the ones to give advice that kids don’t listen to.

My own kids aren’t that old yet and will still listen, but I really hope that one day they will stop listening, because then I know I’ve taught them to be independent.

Breaking: This is what they don’t want you to see!

The images are from Houston.

The parking lot picture is from the 1970s, so probably not exactly fair to compare to a modern city. I don’t know (care about) how it looks now.

The colourful shapes is the graphical user interface on starship Enterprise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCARS

They’ll be going full China and make it a crime to deface the dear leader.

Now I gotta know the tactical reason for the 2 key to also have the 2 symbol?

Very old heaters used to contain lots of asbestos. It might have worked well.

It should be optional for free at least.

Forced ads should be illegal. It’s quite literally wasting peoples lives and a lot resources.

Suburbs are fine for district heating, but it’s a massive long term investment.

For UK in particular, I also think proper insulation and triple/quadruple window panes are much needed to curb with the increasingly scorching summers and freezing winters. I was surprised to see soo many houses with single paned windows in London.

The sand storage is used for district heating. It’s not much of a substitute for single homes that have electrical heating or are off-grid.

It’s a great way to balance both the electrical and the heating grids so that more electricity from renewables can be used to offset other means of heat production, but it needs to be done by the district heating supplier. I doubt it makes sense for individual houses.

Intending to prevent people from having sexual intercourse in view of bystanders, the council approved a measure that made it illegal to have sex “while in or in view of a public or private place.”

Bold is my emphasis to show the error.

Did she ever “learn” Windows?

I’ve been using Windows since 95 and I can’t find shit in Windows.

That’s 35 fahrenheit.

BIG JACKET CONSPIRACY STRIKES AGAIN

I just puked a little.

They tell you the total before you start paying, don’t they?

They say it’s 10.50

If you give them a 20, they’ll start giving back 9.50 before you can even attempt to do the exact coin exchange.

If instead you give the 0.50 first, they can’t start giving change before you’ve presented the rest of the cash.

That’s how you pay 20.50 in order to get 10 back.

It’s something you can do for your own sake to avoid having a pocket full of shrapnel. It’s not necessarily a help for the cashier, and they’ll definitely tell you if they need it. So, please don’t hold up the queue just to give exact or optimal change.

The company is probably going to charge their customers even more for the work you do in your working time.

Someone already pays that money. The workers just don’t receive it.

If everybody was self-employed, those are the prices that would be paid.

You have to do it like an old lady. First you hand over the 50 cents. Then you wait for the cashier to acknowledge that fifty cents is pretty fucking far from 10.50. When they say you’re ten short, then you pass the 20.
