legend goes that Greta made the guy mad on xitter and he posted a response that also included a picture of himself with a pizza box, and cops knew where to find him because of the brand on the box, but not sure if it was proven true or not

Condensation shouldn’t be an issue as long as you’re not cooling below the current dew point.

However, after experiencing one of these underfloor cooling systems once, I can say that the biggest issue is that cold air tends to be heavier and thus stay down. So in order to cool the entire room, not just the layer of air right above the floor, you need something to move the air, which is probably why they’re providing fans. Either that or you can just lie on the floor all the time…

Floor heating works because warm air rises. I never understood why ‘floor’ cooling wasn’t piped through the ceiling, instead. There are probably some engineering or heat transfer issues there, though.

Nah. I’m sure they’ll go straight for the 8-day work week. Gotta think outside the box here taps head

I think they may be using mastodon and that’s how you post in a lemmy community via mastodon, using the @ tags.

isn’t NATO a defensive treaty? which would mean no obligation to participate in actions of aggression?

heh, TIL steam keeps lots of patches. I may get back into EUIV, yet. thanks for that!

was it brunost by any chance?

Yeah I loved EUIV early on, but have left it alone for a while. Now, whenever I get the urge to play again (and I do), I have a look at everything that popped up in the meantime and it’s just overwhelming. Sure, I could play the snapshot I have but then the game keeps getting patched so you get stunted new mechanics that need the DLCs to function properly. I could revert to a previous patch, but what was the patch in march 2021? Do I still find it in the steam options?

And if you want to bite the bullet and just buy the whole DLC collection it’s around 100 euro for a couple of years. or something like 300 for the whole package? I do appreciate the quality that paradox churns out though.

This is why I’ve been holding off on getting victoria 3.

heh. TIL. thanks for that!

on licence. right, what’s that, then? will they have any other sort of restrictions once they get out at minimum 36?

I mean, all life on Earth is basically carbon based and that’s how oil formed in the first place, organic matter burried deep and left there for a very long time. We’d just have to find a way to put organic matter in the places we extract oil from now.

Living things already pull carbon out of the atmosphere (via plants, for instance - plants pull carbon from the air and nitrogen from the soil, and along with water build up all manner of sugars and proteins. animals then eat those and they become the building blocks for the animal’s body). They also put some back as byproducts of metabolism - CO2 for higher organisms, methane for some bacteria. Living things just go through a cycle and none of the carbon remains locked away, as it was in the case of oil deposits. All that oil was at some point huge hunks of living, breathing, eating, multiplying beings. So we wouldn’t actually need to form it into a solid rock before disposing of it.

I don’t know, maybe we can just dig an extremely deep pit and shove all our organic waste down there. Or make some very sturdy concrete tombs (similar to nuclear waste, minus the lead) and just seal it all away, but it’d have to be completely sealed so as not to seep into the environment around it. Or deep enough so that it won’t contaminate groundwater if it does.

Ah, you are a person of culture(s) as well, I see

especially the looting, that was done for the woman and the children. I bet they’ll donate looted items to some charity /s

It’s almost as if the ones that singled her out have no knowledge of history and the concept of martyrdom.

So they’re either stupid or actually agree with her ideas but still have to do their jobs, but in the worst way.

think of the highrise-dwelling rooftop farmers!

I know your comment was light-hearted in nature, but I’d like to point out from the article:

"Investigators say the Rio Preto-Jacunda reserve is >bordered by ranches with a record of environmental crimes, >including repeated encroachments on the reserve.

Razing protected rainforest for pasture is an illegal but >lucrative business in Brazil, the world’s top beef exporter.

The crime often hits remote, hard-to-police nature reserves, >overlapping with other organized criminal activities >destroying the Amazon, including illegal logging and gold >mining."

These are people looking to make a buck with a ‘fuck you, got mine’ attitude. And it’s happening all over the world in grey-areas with regards to law enforcement. Burning down stuff is one of the favoured methods, especially if you can bribe officials to say that it was an accident (as does not seem to be the case here, however so props for that for what it’s worth).

The article also mentions death threats by the ones doing the arson towards those against their interests. People are the reason we can’t have nice things.

Sometimes it’s not lazy, as I see it, it’s just the fear of being wrong. Somewhere, somehow, the processing stops when confronted with just the notion that something one builds their life upon might be wrong. For instance the people that wonder what’s stopping atheists from raping and murdering. Perhaps that’s because they based their notion of good and evil on some supposedly unbreakable laws (lest you suffer eternal torment) versus just pondering about why those laws were set to begin with.

So I suppose it can track back to lazyness, after all. Nevermind, then.

Resource conservation be damned. My grandma used to say don’t mess with an idiot, 'cause his mind is fully rested.

L-Mao?

I can get behind this flavour of evil. Keep doing satan’s work, lad!
