  Always good to learn something new, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking of a closed loop system not pumping moldy humid air into a house.

  Your idea isn’t bad but does need a space big enough for a technician to service the external unit. Also, the external part of a heat pump isn’t supposed to be enclosed. Not sure if a tunnel counts as enclosed or not.

  Reduced heating a cooling costs could make building underground cheaper in the long run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Easier to build the house and cover it with soil and vegetation instead of digging down. The front door and windows can face south to take advantage of passive solar heating in the winter.

  I think one of the best uses of “underground” is to run piping in a large circuit around the property. I read in a passive solar book that 4 feet underground it’s about 4C on average world-wide.

  Summer: Warm air goes in from the living space, travels along a couple hundred feet of pipe, cool air comes back into the house. I’m not sure if the air would be 4C but should save a lot of electricity.

  Winter: Same system but the air pumped into the house should be much warmer than what’s above ground. Usually, the coldest days are sunny so passive solar designs can warm a house to a comfortable level.

  Within the first few minutes I see a phone with the cord on the wrong end, feet that appear to be walking forward and backwards at the same time, and a guy sitting on a sofa who turns around without getting up to do so.

  Did you even look at this slop before posting it?

  I know not a single person who hates Wikipedia.

  You wanna hear ironic? My dad got me to install GrapheneOS on his Pixel because google was trying to get him to activate the AI. Now dad is using the google search. I explained its all AI junk “but its easy” is his reply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you hide wired conversations behind a language barrier?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only time I heard of this working is back in WW2 with the Navajo Code Talkers. The Germans couldn’t (or had a very hard time) translate the conversations at all. Not a history buff so I could be wrong on the details.

  Best to use an E2EE messenger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard pretty much the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  His plan was worse than I thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. But he did screw up by not getting to his final destination before meeting with the reporters.

  Referring to the first line of your post - Are you claiming being Trans is a choice?

  A few months ago, there was a post about geting over ai addiction with improv. If that was you, and you are still using ai, improv isn’t the answer. Step one - delete your ai accounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why are all social medias based around western values?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Truth Social is a Western social media site. No freakin way is that site tolerant of DEI viewpoints.

  Not being an ass to others should be a universal value.

  Paying $5 a month is better than having your internet service cancelled and this is the best case you might encounter.

  When torrenting, use a trusted VPN and avoid the situation.

  I’ve been testing DDG browser for a couple of days. Seems to block ads and popups well. Has a built in youtube player which will be handy the next time youtube blocks the frontend. AI can be disabled.

  I appreciate the info.

  I found part 1 via penguinz0. Amazing video, so much imagination when into their mission of retrieving the Legos. I’m hoping part 2, which is behind a paywall, will be published soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨these eco-facist stickers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s more convenient as I already carry a folding box cutter.

  Sometimes, I see a swastika in a public washroom. I turn them into tic-tac-toe with my mini sharpie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨these eco-facist stickers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If I see these in my area, I’ll start carrying a small can a black spray paint.

  I watched a documentary about Samurai swords. They are rated by how many bodies they can cut through with one motion so a beheading is no issue.

  One of their three posts is about drowning in a canal. British for sure.
