The trick is to occasionally let some fires through, just enough to let the users feel the heat before fixing them.
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 5 days ago:
Well, I have seen drains clog up so bad that the parapets act like a bowl and capture the ~1m of water with the roof still staying mostly intact (although seepage would have greatly increased there), so something other than my calculations is holding up that roof.
So I guess one would have to rely on the melting-refreezing to break down the roof, considering that without the phenomenon, the ice would be pretty fluffy and light.

snow load
Now I am kinda curious about how heavy snow can get.
I live in a snow-less flat-roofed region and the load capacity seems to be ~1.5 kN/m² ^[engineeringtoolbox.com/simply-supported-slabs-loa…]. So, even the cheapest compliant (maybe I should be checking govt. docs for compliance values) building not designed for snowfall should be able to manage 15cm of rain/snow.
Well, that is much lower than the 1m of snow that I would expect building up in case it really snows and it could get higher considering the parapet walls tend to ~1m high.

It would be nice to have a 300dpi 3D printer.

Might as well get one of the printers used by the national mint, to print your constellation.

On the other hand, transporting strike-breakers to another star system pays considerably well.

Yeah.
I would think of hitting Abel with a rock as being the most anti-Abelist thing and still, for some reason, it is considered Abelist? Very weird. - Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 1 week ago:
What if I had an unregistered fork?
What if 3 out of 4 of its prongs were broken? - Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 1 week ago:
Yeah, considering that the TV has enough noise to be heard by the human ear, it doesn’t seem far fetched that specialised equipment can tell much more about it.
- Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 1 week ago:
You get a free streaming service along with it (bbc iplayer) which is far better than the likes of Netflix.
Nice. Hope that stays for long

But then that lets people socialize using the game without the company being able to harvest their data.

- Comment on Anon does some online shopping 1 month ago:
It’s just literally an average online experience.
I am going to refute that claim as I don’t see monitors falling out of windows everyday.
And I am pretty sure people are doing “online” stuff. - Comment on Anon does some online shopping 1 month ago:
Imagine having to navigate that site to buy a new monitor, without a monitor.

Not used widely enough with that intent yet, though. - Comment on I require nothing more 1 month ago:
Don’t use that mop thing. Takes the fun out of it.
Get a cloth, hold it in a good shape on the floor with you hands, put a bit of your weight on it and start running straight forward.
You save on the Gym membership and get to do something much more fun than sitting on synthetic leather and moving a dumb-bell up and down, slowly.

Needs more HDDs.
And more screens.I’m hoping there is an HVAC outlet not in view and the whole room has UPS.
- Comment on Chemistry is weird 2 months ago:
Ionic bonded compounds such as NaCl, when in water, interact with other ions around them.
Even other Na^+^ and Cl^-^ ions… - Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 2 months ago:
But that “Peter” guy told me to “eat veggies” when I asked him how he managed to easily and acrobatically evade that incoming high speed vehicle! Why didn’t he tell me to “eat meat” instead?
- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 2 months ago:
I don’t eat meat (mostly a taste thing), but I’d definitely gift it to a nearby chap doing a bbq after the smack.
Not to waste something that could become food, right? - Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 2 months ago:
The dude is just staying alert in case another one comes to the dude, trying to do the same thing as the original one.
Seems like the dude would do the same to any other kind of organism trying the same thing on the dude (perhaps you can try biting the dude’s neck to see if you get the written reaction).I’ll call that immunisation.

Electric cars don’t own credit cards, yet.
You want to charge the credit card of the car’s owner. - Comment on How do you charge an electric car without a credit card? 2 months ago:
Calling others “creepy” for putting an effort to help you out, just for fun or sth needs to be de-incentivised. And that’s what the ones above are doing.
Also, the chap who attempted identity theft is probably not going around telling you where they got your information (or that they got it, or that they exist).
- Comment on Asus and Lenovo’s handhelds get price hike as Valve pauses some Steam Deck sales 2 months ago:
It would make a lot of sense to the company trying to decide how large their production run should be.
For the customer, it only really makes sense if they are getting something out of it, like immunity to possible price hikes at launch.
I don’t pre-order, but then, I am a late stage buyer, so it doesn’t really apply to me.

love interest
What!? No!
He just fornicates all villain’s wives to churn out their information, which he uses, to destroy the villain or sth.The women are then left for dead. They do survive some times.
Every movie, new villain, new infidel wife.
