I did a physics degree and am comfortable with Joules, but in the context of electricity bills, kWh makes more sense.

All appliances are advertised in terms of their Watt power draw, so estimating their daily impact on my bill is as simple as multiplying their kW draw by the number of hours in a day I expect to run the thing (multiplied by the cost per kWh by the utility company of course).

I was really confused by that and that the decided units weren’t just in W (0.1 kW is pretty weird even)

Yes

That was really interesting.

I’ve got to admit that I felt that elation/rush that they felt when finishing off that guy on the field.

Horrible that the Russian is probably just a normal guy, but they are the invading force attacking a sovereign nation.

Ikr, I suppose it can be just a couple of salty people to push you into the negative

A fine specimen

No idea, I don’t block people either. I do identify them with a tag if I read something interesting or peculiar from them.

A few key Sony exclusives came out on the PS4, but overall in the industry third party games were hitting pretty hard (e.g. Sekiro, Bloodborne, Doom 2016, many indie games) that I consider part of the generation.

There’s an argument that the PS4 generation was pretty great too, but Xbox had their last good console with the 360.

I go one further and also use public/private key pairs that my acquaintances must use to decrypt the scrambled letters I mail them.

Finally some good news!

Income taxes go back into services that help society. How do you expect a government to fund any of the infrastructure and services that you take for granted around you without it?

Haven’t tried streaming, but I have Chromecast devices set up with the jellyfin for android TV app to stream from the NAS over LAN to any TV in the house. Basically don’t have any subscription service so these things are just Jellyfin + YouTube devices.

Have got two of my family members onto bitwarden and even that is a lot for the tech-illiterate. Couldn’t imagine Keepass+syncthing.

Ultimately, bitwarden is better than using hunter12 for everything like how they were.

That’s a really good point. So many of my friends who used silk road would be multimillionaires if they didn’t spend the btc.

Obsidian user as well. I like to think of it that tags are folders.

When you put something in a folder, you have to choose one of the files identities. Tags more or less allow you to assign a file to any number of groups.

So if you’re writing about an NPC in a DnD campaign, for example: That NPC will exist in a certain place. He will be associated with particular guilds and he will have certain moves that you might want to keep track of. You can later easily search by a guild or a move or a place and there will be a link to that NPC and others that share those indentifying characteristics.

A big advantage of zettelkasten is that you don’t need to really worry about file management in the sense of needing to make exclusionary choices.

Zettelkasten users:

This is such a monkeys paw. You have a drive with $500 million USD of Bitcoin, but the drive is somewhere in the local landfill.

Such a curse, I can’t imagine the regret they feel every day getting up for work.

After 10 years though, isn’t it just gone/destroyed? Rain/corrosion would have destroyed the drive by now.

Would YouTube get shittier if Google was broken up? I was under the understanding that YouTube is a loss leader service for Google, but I still think its one of the best social media sites on the web. Even when you consider the number of ads (that doesn’t affect a revanced user).

Hahaha, touché. To be fair though, a lot of people struggle with email.

And if an easier version of email existed, email mightn’t have caught on.
