Ah, yeah. I don't Discord or Twitter so wasn't thinking about those. ArsTechnica would benefit as well. They still do the forum-style inline replies which is hard to follow.

Don't most lemmy clients do that?
That kind of puts the scene where Rick keeps reanimating in different universes in a new light. Forget the episode, but he keeps coming out of his lab in a different universe and they're all fascist hellholes. He's like "Is this, like, the default setting or something?"
I think human parts are a hard no for me
I'm pretty confident we still have the kids' baby teeth stored somewhere in a box of mementos in the basement (where all our treasured family memories / water heater are stored). I think that is my personal threshold.
This is the way. And same here. I don't use the mask of pseudo-anonymity to be a jackass. Anyone I know who discovers my online accounts will find I interact online and IRL exactly the same way.
I quit smoking over a decade ago, but if I had the opportunity to light a cigarette from the Olympic torch...I'd take it. Probably also use that cigarette to light the pilot lights on my water heater and then all my showers would be heated by the Olympic flame (technically speaking).
Life imitates art:
I know, right?!
Clearly we need MicroUSB-C /s
If those are my two options...start looking for my projects on Codeberg I guess.
Heat pumps move heat. In the summer, it's pulling heat from inside and moving it outside and the opposite of that in the winter.
Basically, the temperature differential is what makes the difference. The larger the differential, the more energy it has to use.
In the winter, when it's 30 degrees (F) outside, and you want it to be 70 inside, that's 40 degrees it has to move. In the summer when it's 90 degrees outside, and you want it at 70 inside, that's only 20 degrees.
Air source heat pumps, as the name implies, pull heat from (and exhaust heat to) the ambient air. When it's really cold in the winter, there's less ambient heat to move inside, so it has to run longer. Some (all?) heat pumps also have an auxiliary resistive heating element to make up the difference which lowers efficiency quite a bit.
Granted, newer heat pumps can work well down to lower temperatures without having to engage the aux heat than the older ones I'm familiar with, but in a nutshell, that's why they can potentially use less energy in the summer.
Dumb phones. I've grown to hate smartphones, apps, and all that goes with them.
