  • Holy shit that is amazing.

    Her 'safety cage' is both for the protection of herself, and others, hahaha!

    ... Never thought 'good cable management' would become a hygiene/sanitation issue, but, apparently it is.

  • Oh.

    Sorry, I'm... actually unfamiliar with concept.

    Is that basically a sausage with a small loaf of bread baked around it?

  • Yes but there might be nonmasochists in the household, guests, children, pets, etc.

    Not everyone is defacto down with a blood sacrifice for the Omnissiah.

  • Yes but then the downside is you have a giant porcupine that will draw blood, in the middle of the room, lol.

    You could buff that out a bit though?

    ...?

  • That is in line with my understanding as well.

  • I may get flack for this but mine was the Cinematic Mod version of HL2.

    Not because I wanted ... the terrible 'cinematic' music, or ludicrous XXX character model 'upgrades'... I genuienly liked the revamped maps, greater texture detail.

  • Hrm.

    What about:

    Radiant Barrier.

    https://www.greenenergyofsanantonio.com/post/the-evolution-of-radiant-barrier-insulation-from-nasa-to-home-efficiency

    Basically, as I understand it, this stuff is extremely good at reflecting heat... not... absorbing and containing it. And it is relatively stupidly cheap, for how effective it is.

    Like, its so effective that the industry that makes traditional US home insulation batting... basically did everything they could to make it so as few people know this stuff exists as possible.

    Ok, then... have a ceiling fan above it?

    A very slow one, that uses little energy?

  • A completely valid pannini press, imo.

    Like this is literally the 'modern problems require modern solutions' meme.

    I've used older PC battlestations of mine as 'bonus' spaceheaters more than once, lol, sorta like those 'pocket warmer' apps for phones that would just run some absurd computation that would redline the cpu, hahah!

  • Perhaps this is a dumb question, but perhaps it is not:

    If you just had, in say a studio apartment, or a single bedroom, basically just a large container of water, where the container is made of something fairly to considerably thermally conductive...

    Would or could this act as something like a thermal regulator for the room, to a potentially useful degree, such that it could ease the overall power usage of an AC/Heating system?

    The water doesn't do anything, in like a designed machine sense; its not part of plumbing or heating, its just a big ole tank of water, sitting there.

    The idea I am going with is something like how large static bodies of water act as regulators for nearby climate zones, through a day night cycle ... they tend to keep temperatures in the surrounding area a bit more stable, though of course humidity and the water cycle have other effects in a more open weather system.

    I also realize there are a lot of potentially confusing or confounding variables at play here.

    But my thinking is that maybe, at some scale, in some conditions, this could basically normalize your day-night temperature cycle, at least somewhat.

    Obviously in real world, just a simple tank of water would potentially freeze in winter, or boil in summer, in more extreme environments, that you'd at bare minimum have to have some mechanical system to prevent problems... but uh, ... yeah.

  • ... that would substantially change the meaning, away from what the OP themself indicated they meant to convey.

    That also would not be a usage of the Oxford comma, as that comma would be doing a different grammatical job than deliniating items in a list.

    It would be deliniating a vocative phrase.

    Yes, it does... make it into a workable sentence ... but it would not be an Oxford comma.

  • I would think sodium ion would particularly make sense in an EV, or a hybrid.

    Even if they aren't as energy dense, per weight and volume... the longevity, the rechargability, the cold weather effectiveness.

    That addresses... so many of the problems that EVs as depreciating assets face, and it makes EVs make sense in areas that are currently too cold too often for them to make sense.

    A sensible world could make this work so well with a decent charging network.
