- Comment on A Finnish town is heating itself with 2,000 tonnes of crushed rock: its giant “sand battery” can cover almost a month of heating demand and has cut district heating emissions by 70% 4 hours ago:
Take heat from homes
That’s the tricky part.
This sand battery works by offsetting the production of heat to be used in an already existing district heating system.
That system does not easily change into a district cooling system. It is simply not built to run in reverse. Every part of it from production through distribution, exchanging and in-house distribution are made with one purpose: To transfer heat in one direction.
It makes sense to use renewable energy to charge this battery, so they don’t need as much fossil fuel or whatever they use normally.
But, if we were to make a district wide hvac-system the same way, it would probably be better and more efficient to simply use individual airconditioners using the renewable energy directly.

One fire guy is ok. Two fire guys is a disaster.
If you have two fire guys, one fire and one girl, you better bring the guitar before you join them. You don’t even need to play it, it just has to be there to pacify the fire guys.

It’s Will Forte in the role of Phil Tandy Miller in the tv-series The Last Man on Earth, in which he uses the “I hardly knew her” joke intensively.m throughout the series.
At first it’s corny because it’s a poor joke, but then he keeps doing it, so it becomes annoying, but then he keeps doing it, so it becomes funny, but then he keeps doing it, so it becomes annoying again.

Willie did try taking it to a repair shop one time when his regular luthier was unavailable. They refused to touch it, because they were afraid of fixing something that shouldn’t be fixed.

My bank offers those. There are a few rules to what you can upload.
Some make sense, like you can’t print the pin code or use the visa logo on a Mastercard.
Others are less obvious. Tiger King wouldn’t be allowed because he’s technically a celebrity, which is not allowed.

Yes. Checks out. Ball sport is facism. With a ball.
A lot of matches could be avoided if only they had more balls. The ball owner just decided to only make one ball available, so they’d fight over it and remove attention from himself. It’s like the Colosseum, where the Caesar never had to fight.
This is the shitpost community, btw.
- Comment on "Don't unionize, just get a better job." When you unionize, you ARE getting a better job. 1 week ago:
The statement is true. You have to create your own job.
After unionizing I have noticed that there aren’t really many jobs worth applying to. Most jobs advertised are worse than what I already have.
It’s not just about the pay. To me it’s more about the company “growing up” and acknowledging the need to balance the relationship between management and the qualified personnel, instead of viewing employees as unskilled servants.
The reason I couldn’t find a job like that before is pretty clear. We also don’t post job openings on the web anymore. First of all we don’t have a lot of people quitting, but we also have plenty of qualified union members to choose from when we do have vacancies.
The way I see it, unionization is primarily an upgrade for the company. It’s not just access to qualified personnel. It also cuts out a lot of the bullshit conflicts between management and employees, because there are general agreements on a lot more things.
If they want employees to take the company serious, they need to treat their employees seriously.
Throwing pizza parties and threatening low paid unskilled workers with arbitrary management decisions or making random bonuses and shit doesn’t achieve anything like this. It’s a complete waste of time in comparison to having a proper clear union agreement.

It’s North Jutland. The g is pronounced as “ge” almost like German “geh”.
I’m not native, and even after 15 years I sometimes still don’t understand the local dialect.
The Norwegian Kamelåså joke about Danish is funny because its true.

Do you often run out of gas in your car? Does your phone often run out of battery?
If you’re a functioning adult who can answer “no” to those questions, then you do not need to worry about range anxiety.
In my car, I can also look at the navigation system which has a nice big circle, showing how far I can go. You see the dark area outside the circle? You must never go there, Simba.
- Comment on Are you too young to remember these? 2 weeks ago:
My parents had a b&w TV into the mid 80s.
When they got a colour TV it also coincided with getting a Commodore 64, so naturally they suggested using the old TV for the computer.
Funny thing is that the C64 colour palette was prepared for this. The 16 colours weren’t just random picks on the colour wheel, they also functioned as 4 different shades when shown on b&w.
Shortly after we did get the proper monitor but it still had a switch so you could still check how the your graphics looked in b&w.

No, but unrelated to my car, I did make googly eyes when I saw a bunch of Nazis on a corner of street four years ago. I do regret it though.
In my half a century of living I have bever seen that before, so it came as a shock to me. Next time I will ensure to give them a good beating instead.
- Comment on How I, a bike rider, look when my coworkers complain about gas prices 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been driving an EV for 6 years.
- I have never run out of electricity.
- It hasn’t caught fire.
- I do not miss switching to 2. gear.
- I do not miss the noise.
- My penis size has not changed.
- I do enjoy the lower cost.
- I am mildy and smugly annoyed by the doll head nodders in ice cars who can’t get an even acceleration when starting at the green light.
- I do not miss standing in the cold at the gas station holding a nozzle for minutes to empty my wallet.
- Charging timed has never been an issue as it happens by itself when I don’t use the car.
- Range has never been an issue as I hate driving to other countries in non stop trips anyway.
Is there anything else you would like to know about driving EVs?
