Why not come back? :D
Why not come back? :D
Shit, I watched a Polish movie with exactly this theme
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2627146/
Highly recommend
If all of them were subject to Alaska Airlines’ WiFi equipment installation post-sale, which required unbolting the door plugs, then all of them have to be rechecked and rebooted. This you won’t hear from them :)
But mah profits!
737 Max is still a developing example of what happens when you leave corporate to self-regulate themselves.
Then I don’t know why, but I am sure over 30% of heat in my house escapes through the roof.
Yeah I lived in flats before, it’s a totally different story, unless your flat is on the last floor or on the corner there is not much heat loss assuming your neighbors also use the heating.
Invoice from yesterday for December 2023. I used 201 m3 of gas, calculated by provider as being equal to 2224kWh of power for which I paid 682.81 PLN (157 € to be exact) in total including taxes and surcharges. So 3.397 PLN or around 0.78 EUR per m3.
December was one of the coldest months this season. Last year I used maximum of 250 m3 per month which happened to be January/February. This then exceeded 200€
This includes both warm water and heating using low-temperature floor heating. Current thermostat settings give me 22C on the base floor and 20C on the first floor (where most heat escapes, obviously). I also have mechanical ventilation with recuperation.
Shit’s expensive.
With current prices of electricity, the same heating power with perfect constant COP of 3 (not possible with December temps for air heat pump) would cost me 666 PLN. (Nice). How can I offset the cost of installing it in the first place LOL.
Lucky you. 175 square meters, 25cm styrofoam on walls and 30cm rock wool on ceiling and I pay 200€ per month in winter for gas heating in Poland. Solar panels are not economical in current regulations and billing rules have changed so those with heat pumps pay at least twice us much in coldest months.
We are fucked from every angle.
Why downvotes? They are both right, with an exception of MacBooks. Otherwise, you are limited by use cases predicted by the manufacturer, even if it “just works”.
I use both iPhone and MacBook, with the latter mostly as a Unix that, again, “just works”, but I can even go as far as compile whole GNU userspace natively with Gentoo Prefix (one of many options).
It’s worse! There are guys on YT disassembling them and finding not single-use alkaline batteries inside but fully rechargeable Li-Ion batteries (for use in hobby projects). Forget the environment, how on earth is this economically justifiable for producers? People buying them pay not for nicotine but for all the electronics inside with a small addition of substance for their addiction.
Brother for life.
You bet it. I got one toner refill for like $6 for Brother laser printer which is happily chugging along with factory installed drum after 2600 pages printed during over 6 year period. No DRM, no driver drama, and you know what happens to jet printers with such sporadic usage.
Ah yes, Harold :) I forgot
Looks like a son of a guy from another meme with awkward smile
Coordinated action to undermine UAW workers confidence in their negotiations? I’ve seen too many such things for it to be a coincidence.
Power draw for cellular tower equipment has become a major concern and product differentiator for mobile operators. I work in telco sector.
AFAIK Apple develops their modem in Germany. The initial effort to get into this market is tremendous. After that it’s incremental improvements, but you must start somewhere.
requiescat in pace
Hah look at the downvotes, you can’t have civilized discussion these days.
Your last paragraph and my last sentence is the whole culprit for me. The money I have to pay here for good heat pump with COP 2 at -30 and the associated electric bills have currently no chance here to ever be cheaper than burning gas either nor more friendly for the climate where my government burns coal to produce electricity.
And no, I cannot install enough solar to power this heat pump in the winter or offset the cost of electricity during summer (inverters already turn off in the summer, no electricity is produced as too many neighbors have solar and voltage rises above shutdown threshold in the grid)
The COP coefficient falls down drastically to 1 as soon as temperature drops below -5C and they basically start working as an electric heater. It wouldn’t be a problem if I wasn’t living in a country with the most expensive electricity in Europe which is produced mainly from coal…
Look up “spółdzielnie mleczarskie” in Poland. https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spółdzielnia_mleczarska
Milk cooperative? Is this how it translates?
Sorry for not translating the whole Wikipedia article, but TLDR this is how high quality dairy is produced in Poland, where everyone from smallest to larger farms can cooperate and coexist.
30 years ago there was even this now non-existent elaborate network of milk collection and delivery (we have shops now :p) - every morning there was a transport organized through every small or large village where everyone farmer even with only one cow could sell the milk. As the number of such farmers went rapidly down this has stopped being done.
Of course you can still find big corp dairy products in the stores (Nestle? Danone?) but they have a hard time competing and I am not sure but they still might buy their supplies from polish cooperatives.
