Gordon ,

Oh no, whatever will we do if old dudes can’t have 6 different types of boner pills?

Gordon ,

My state of residence restricts access to certain sites. It’s all bullshit.

Anyway… The ISP is either a common carrier or a content provider. Pick a fucking lane. You can’t have half and half. Either you are responsible for ALL content provided or NONE.

If you choose none then you MUST NOT restrict access to any content.

If you chose ALL then you may restrict content based on what you are willing to take responsibility for. But in that case if someone does something illegal with content you provided you are liable.

Gordon ,

You are an idiot bro. Troll face lends credibility to pedo rings? No.

Gordon ,

I had a review recently where I expressed my frustration at excessive work and unreasonable or un-communicated deadlines, and my boss basically took the stance that how was he supposed to know I was overloaded if I wasn’t working a bunch of overtime?

Like, dude, that’s NOT going to happen. I can be overloaded AF but I’m still leaving at 4.

We talked in circles about this for about 30 minutes and I don’t think he understood or simply refused to understand.

Whatever.

Oxford study proves heat pumps triumph over fossil fuels in the cold (www.nationalobserver.com)

Oxford study proves heat pumps triumph over fossil fuels in the cold::Published Monday in the scientific journal Joule, the research found that heat pumps are two to three times more efficient than their oil and gas counterparts, specifically in temperatures ranging from 10 C to -20 C.

Gordon ,

You think you are being a smartass but that’s exactly what heat pumps do. The only functionality difference between an AC unit and a heat pump is a reversing valve.

But without a reversing valve you could put your AC unit in backwards and heat your house in the winter.

The whole premise of an AC unit is to take the heat from inside the house and put it outside, leaving you with cooler air inside.

So in the winter a heat pump simply reverses the flow of the freon and moves the heat from outside to inside. Yes. You are “cooling the whole neighborhood” when you run a heat pump.

Gordon ,

It definitely can. If yours can’t then it’s likely just the thermostat wired wrong.

Gordon ,

Ah yeah that’s a different story then. However I’ve never heard of in-floor cooling before. I wonder how effective it would be since heat rises? I think you’d just have a cool floor and hot muggy air. Also the floor would condense water constantly so your floor would be slippery and if you have carpet it would be wet / damp constantly.

Gordon ,

The star wars universe is intentionally “post-apocalyptic” “star-punk”. The star trek universe is post scarcity utopia. Hmmm. I wonder which one has better tech?

Gordon ,

They did in the 90s too. Even in the 80s and 70s locking steering columns were a thing. I never understood the steering wheel locks.

Gordon ,

Does she look back fondly on that experience?

Like, if you ask her, would she say she preferred doing that over normal 16 yr old things like studying, hanging with friends, or doing sports?

My guess is that it would be a bittersweet or poor memory for her, and that given the choice she would have preferred to not have to work at a bar at 16.

Note: IM NOT SAYING she shouldn’t have had a job if she wanted one. Having a job as a teen teaches you a lot of things and prepares you for a “real job” in a low risk environment.

Myself, I worked at a pool first teaching lessons, then becoming a lifeguard when I was old enough. I was on the swim team so I was already there for 2-3 hours per day during the week, and hung around most of the day all summer anyway, so getting paid to do stuff I was already comfortable doing was not a stretch.

I gained valuable skills, I know CPR, Rescue breathing, first aid skills, how to deal with neck/back injuries, etc. I also had fun working in an environment where I could have friends and peers all going thru the same life experiences.

I am just concerned that this kind of environment doesn’t exist in a bar in Wisconsin.

Gordon ,

Ah yes, I’ll have 0.8 metric eggs please.

Gordon ,

Can’t you read? “A” carcinogen. Doesn’t matter which one!

Gordon ,

Hey man, just tried summit. So far it’s super quick but it’s almost too barebones for me. But I’m going to give it a try for a week and see if it grows on me.

I do love that you implement gestures

Gordon ,

To that point you already pay for internet in the same way you pay for water. Paying for a specific website is like paying to use a toilet.

Analogy stands.

Gordon ,

Nearly. I’m counting 19, but that’s close enough IMO.
