Kroger owns a bunch of other brands. Do you have one of them in your market, and it’s just a branding difference?

Watts per hour isn’t a thing. Watts is already a measurement of rate. 67 watts, running for 24 hours, is 1.608 kilowatt-hours.

The rest of your math checks out, assuming no hidden “distribution” or “transmission” fees (like I have).

It’s cringe pretending to be humor.

Call his fucking bluff. The only way anything would close is if it isn’t profitable (enough). And if they can’t turn a profit, well then they need to be better at business! (/s).

Cooking and (basic) sewing. These are basic life skills needed for any level of independent living, yet so many are proud to be utterly incapable of either.

The change is regarding “permanent” installations, which the article also infers to mean directly hardwired. Those of us who go the route of a NEMA 14-50 outlet are likely unaffected.

That said, I wish they’d ban the cheap, shitty outlets that can’t actually provide continuous power. These are the very popular $10 outlets, vs the $50 ones that also can’t fit in a standard box.

The big caveat is that the BIOS must allow it, and most released versions do not.

Technology Connections recently posted a detailed video about dehumidifiers that’s worth watching. But a key takeaway is that on an AC, the hot side is outside (making the inside cool), while in a dehumidifier they are directly next to each other (condensing the moisture).

Without looking into the specifics, my guess is that it’s not routing the cold air over the hot side to keep things inside the same temperature.

Related, many small(-ish) bars have a stage for live music on Friday/Saturday. There may not be enough seating for those nights, and there’s little/no standing room, so people randomly share tables. From there, you strike up conversation with other fans.

Find the small places where they advertise the bands by name, and make sure they aren’t just cover bands. Irish pubs have been lucky for me, but there’s another place near me that regularly has jam bands.

That’s part of the strategy. First, go after the small project that can’t defend itself. Use that to set a precedent that is harder for the bigger targets to overturn.

I would expect the bigger players to get themselves involved in the defense for exactly that reason.

Uber and the like have specific warnings about that, too. Of course, you can just ignore them and say you’re going to see someone else that’s in the ER.

You should take the hint.

This might be interesting. I turned off all of my Google history years ago. I presume they still collected all of it.

This could reveal some of that.

It sounds like a daytime event. If it runs that late, it interferes with nighttime events, most notably drinking/getting laid.

This can get a bit complicated with federation. This community is hosted on LW. I am accessing it via sopuli.xyz, and you via feddit.uk. All (presumably) have full bidirectional federation with each other.

When I hit send, this message will go to Sopuli’s outbox, which will then sync to LW for this community. At that point, this post will live on LW’s servers. Anyone accessing LW directly can see it, even if Sopuli were to go down. Later (probably less than a minute), LW will sync to Feddit.uk, at which point you will be able to see it.

Note that this is for text posts only. There have been some changes around images and video, both for bandwidth and liability reasons.

We don’t have 5 9s, but we do have 9 5s.

People of all ages have different levels of beauty, and not in a sexual way.

Ever thought a kid was cute/adorable/whatever? And the kid next to them was not?

On the complete other end, many elderly are visually repulsive, but some look good right to the end.

There isn’t just one reason. The biggest one currently can be directly tied back to porn. It’s also not just the simple existence of porn, but with our excessive consumption of it.

The fact that nearly all porn is the same in this regard is also a factor. There’s also a generational factor, in that younger people experienced almost-exclusively shaved partners and porn in their formative years.

That would probably result in teams that have the shortest players possible (to lower the rim), and 1 or 2 tall players to exploit that.

It’s more like claiming to own a subreddit, or a Twitter hashtag.
