size and weight of a car

blocks of ice measuring 4 ft × 4 ft × 2 ft.

This you?

Because 32 cubic ft is about the volume of most residential AC units.

Is it?

92kWh/m^3 of energy is a lot of cooling. It’d be hard to not be effective.

I think youre misunderstanding one thing, which is that the ice is a replacement for batteries. While the system had a small battery for running a small pump and fan, its a small cheap one that doesn’t store much and the water has substantially more energy, equivalent to something like a large lithium battery.

The thermal battery is also far smaller, cheaper, and more robust than a lithium battery and it won’t deteriorate with repeated cycling. The obvious trade off is that in this case it can only be used for refrigeration and only down to 0C. So while its very niche, it is quite effective for home air conditioning.

Nothing is going to solve all our problems, but triage is important and if you can get your weird cousin to vaccinate their kids, you’ve done measurable good for society.

Fellas, is it gay to speak Gaulish?

I’m all for sanctioning them too. Economic sanctions are the bare minimum we should be doing to genocidal authoritarians.

Political agenda is a funny euphemism for imperialist invasion and genocide.

Mine was brought back from about this state when a friend gave it to me, so recovery is possible.

Mine thrives with indoor lighting and a little natural light, so don’t fret as long as its not full sun or in a closet it should be fine.

Warmth can just be “not really cold” for people. Anything above 15C is probably passable. So long as its in your house it shouldn’t perish, it might just slow its growth if you don’t have a heater on high.

Humidity might be an issue and over or under watering. If you live someplace where the air is very dry it could be challenging as you’d have to dote on it to keep it in the sweet spot water wise.

Autobrewery syndrome is rare and probably has more to do with your diet and antibiotic use than consuming a few actively fermenting drinks.

Some drinks like pulque are traditionally drunk that way and that’s why they can’t be shipped long distances. So if its been done by other cultures for thousands if years, I’m not a doctor, but I’m gonna wager its fairly safe.

The Federal Government actually owns most of the west. Its the reason why there’s more land for public recreation and national parks in that region of the country.

You can typically hike, camp, or explore BLM land, which is the majority of it, as much as you want so long as you don’t start any fires or litter.

Bastards will swoop you if you’re not careful.

Ngl I kinda want zeplin public transit.

It is a juvenile bald eagle. They get their iconic colors as they mature.

Sadly, this is probably true.

They are pretty, but the whole region has changed a lot in recent years as Telluride has exploded in popularity.

Deadliest catch story lines are drying up. Gotta have Harris call in an airstrike on an illegal Chinese trawler.

I was going to say the same. Funny it gets written off today as a hoax when tons of people had to fix slews of bugs. It could’ve been bad, but fortunately the worst I heard about was some people getting stuck in some elevators.

The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren’t dangerous. The typical rules about “don’t aim at something you don’t want to destroy” doesn’t apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.

That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.

Excellent, now we have a reason to chant “USA 🇺🇲 USA 🇺🇲” until we sink due to rising sea levels.

Now when I’m lazy and don’t support some standards in my open source projects, I’m just going to say its for security.
