  • I see most of the people in the comments here have older model heat pumps.

    Newer model heat pumps are quite a bit better than even ones made 10 years ago.

    My dad had one put in two years ago for his garage kitchen, and it’s worked quite well, even in fairly cold temperatures. Most importantly, that heat pump doesn’t have an auxiliary mode, and yet it still works in sub freezing temperatures.

    It would work even better if it were ground source, but those are both expensive and require digging up the yard.





  • I recently switched my laptop to Garuda, it’s an Arch based gaming distro. It seems to mostly work right out of the box, but I did have to tweak a few steam games to force them to use my dedicated graphics.

    I guess I could go in and force steam itself to use the graphics card via env… But I only have a handful of large games at the moment. It’s just as easy to set the requirement per game right now.



  • Harvesting prisoner organs to give to the wealthy/party members.

    Executing people for things they’ve said.

    Quartering party loyalists in Uyghur homes, particularly the forced co-habitation of Uyghur women with male party loyalists.

    The list goes on because China is a totalitarian dictatorship, and the US, for all its many, many, faults, is not.

    The main difference is that the US is mostly trying to be better, and China is actively embracing the crimes against humanity.







  • It was a scheduled sale. There’s a term for it, but it’s a fairly normal thing to have set up.

    What it really sounds like is they looked to see that they had a scheduled sale, and then delayed the announcement of the new fees (and the planning of how they’d work) so that the sale price would be higher.

    Or, another alternative here. They looked at the sale price, and thought “gee whiz this is low, how do I boost the stock price higher?” and since this idiot worked on microtransactions for EA, he thought that adding those to Unity made some sort of sense.
