I lived without a fridge for several months before, it’s not that difficult. Half the things I keep in a fridge don’t really need it anyway, like chutney and jam would last a fairly long time without it. Eggs in the UK don’t need the fridge either. IIRC the US wash off the protective layer on them so they do have to go in the fridge there.

LEDs use very little energy.

acre-feet

I can’t stop laughing at this as a unit of measurement

Sure, why not. But I was thinking a 4/5G router takes very little power, then a steam deck doesn’t take that much either. If that is all you need, few hundred w solar panels and a decent sized camping battery will probably do just fine. You don’t need to store a years worth of energy in one go if you can produce more than you use which helps during lower output times.

Then if your employer is mandating return to office, charge the battery there. Make the fuckers pay for it.

It isn’t so much limited by the geography but is made far more cost effective because of it. A long valley with a narrow exit means you don’t need to build much dam and store a vast amount of water.

As far as distance from populated areas, I dunno, I live in the UK so its kinda close enough not to matter too much.

Pumped hydro exists.

There is another option. Reduce your energy usage so much that you barely need anything. Cabin in the woods with wifi?

Even as a young child I couldn’t see the appeal of slot machines. Like isn’t it obvious that the computer in it is programmed to pay out less than you put in?

My partner’s sister is 19, I’m in my early 30s now. But I met my partner when she was 19, I often ask myself did she come across as this annoying to people in their 30s back then?

Ahh, so the win11 arbitrary hardware requirements bullshit

That sounds like an insane duration, even LTS distros are not usually anything like 15 years

They are already building wind turbines, this is just about bigger ones. Would have thought they are assembled by where ever you load the barge

Rosemary salt, as I grow my own rosemary. Also got thyme and sage that I will probably add to it.

I’ll need a hundred of each for sampling

And I would do it again

Didn’t realise they would be transported by plane, only ever seen them going out by barge.

The only allowed thought becomes: Must die for the emperor

Data is worth a lot

The only disagreement I have about the bikes is that 200cc is a bit high. But smaller? Yeah probably fine.

I’ll play something cheaper then

You can get a pretty good idea with a surprisingly small sample size, as long as your sampling isn’t biased in some way.
