I remember the vitriol of old reddit. I believe you are contributing to that more than helping.

Reddit was never pure in terms of discussion or kindness; I think you’ve got some heavily tinted rose glasses on. But reddit succeeded and brought you the deep, insightful discussion you crave because the enthusiasts were there. And enthusiasts are human, they are not all heartless cogs there to infodump and complain. The most knowledgeable, well-read, and well-spoken people I know are also ones to crack jokes and make their passions accessible and interesting.

If you want healthy discussion, I strongly believe you should allow at least a bit of levity and let people speak a little more freely. Chastising people for not being insightful enough will turn away plenty of the people you want to keep.

Let neckbeards and normies mingle. It’s okay to have fun.

Also worth mentioning: this is Microblog Memes. It’s in the name.

Wifi adds latency. Adding 30-300 ms of latency will noticeably affect your browsing experience.

Some of the skill might be transferrable. My sister has been on iPhone for years and gets 120 wpm on monkeytype with predictive text on. For comparison, she gets 110 on a normal chiclet keyboard.

Keep in mind thermostats are generally not tightly calibrated devices. I prefer 71°F at home, but recently visited relatives and thought their mini-split was FREEZING at 29°C (84 F)

Also humidity plays a huge role.

why does this post sound British

Loss of precision. Most digital thermostats only display two digits for cost savings. I’ve had experiences with mini-splits that are too cold at 27 and too hot at 28.

‘Smog’ is a portmanteau of ‘smoke’ and ‘fog’. It is used to talk about air pollution.

Alec is making a point specifically about the 1000 hour maximum which was for INCANDESCENT lightbulbs. You know, the ones that aren’t used anymore.

However, modern LED lightbulbs are typically over-driven and under-cooled. This drastically shortens their lifespan and worsens efficiency. But this might just be because it’s harder to sell a $20 light that lasts for 20 years than it is to sell a $5 light that lasts for 5-10.
