well you can define when the efficiency is impressive or not to you, now people can go look at the numbers. 20% is pretty substantial, but if you are disappointed it’s not 90% then i dont know what to tell ya

it’s not really a myth, see for yourself with the ugliest link ever: https://www.energystar.gov/productfinder/product/certified-residential-freezers/results?search_text=&sort_by=annual_energy_use_kwh_yr&sort_direction=asc&page_number=0&lastpage=0&search-1=&type_filter=Chest+Freezer&type_filter=Upright+Freezer&is_most_efficient_filter=0&capacity_total_volume_ft3_filter=7+-+13.9&capacity_total_volume_ft3_filter=14+-+21.9&markets_filter=United+States

you’ll notice that by capacity chest freezers are more efficient. There are a lot of factors stacked in their favor though:

• cold air sinks as mentioned above, while not the majority of the thermal mass in a fridge you lose quite a bit every time anyway.
• convection is a lot stronger than people often realize, and upright freezers are more prone to unforced convection, especially because of the aforementioned air loss (replaced by warm air flowinginto and out of)

each of the hay bales on those trucks weighs between 500 and 1600 lbs, normally on the high end. they also suck to haul.

maybe, but logging trucks are second only to hay trucks in rate and lethality of dropped load. It’s a really good and basic safety practice, the movie didnt come up with the idea of logging truck accidents.

(not nuclear radiation, which is what curie was working with largely)

normally claims to be leftist, the main tankie things are being in support of authoritarians, as long as they wear red (claim to be communist) and often uncritically support any actions taken against “the west”, which often aligns them with authoritarian governments like the ccp, kremlin. Tankies get their name from support of various events where tanks were used to oppress, like tianmen square, prague spring, etc.

Ah of course, my mistake.

Eugenics certainly couldn’t be checks notes deciding who can have kids, and humans arent checks notes people.

Absolutely ridiculous. Imagine actually being pro genocide.

They do, in fact.

Ah, genocidal eugenics, there you are. How I didn’t miss you.

The subsidies have an ontological value in that they improve the quality of life for the child. So removing subsidies will actively perpetuate and increase the very systemic issues that many antinatalists care about in the first place. You address this too, I’m just expressing agreement that simply removing chiodcare subsidies is not ethically simple even for staunch antinatalists.

In general governments ought to be working to support the people they represent. To me it seems an antinatalist who’s goal is to reduce suffering would want to introduce things like a basic income or some such to improve the quality of life of those who do exist, not further take from those who have yet to be.

As long as you’re keeping it to your own life not trying to encourage genocide via antinatalist policy then you do you.

They are too busy reading every email to profile you for ads and authoritarian purposes to do that.

Charitably I am fairly certain they are making fun of this particular meme and not in general. This meme is certainly something many people experience autism or not, though there are reasons toys experience might stick out for those with autism.

I use these curves for real world cooking constantly, both sous vide and other methods. Why wouldn’t this be useful for real world cooking?

Except its use as pasture has wrecked the ecosystem that would be there otherwise. From forcing certain plant life to driving out predators, “would still be grass” isn’t really saying much when the damage is severe nonetheless.

Just different morphology to do different things.

Nothing about those ink cartridges is special enough to justify the kind of locking you’re justifying here, nor is a printer a service relying on HP operations to run in the same way an internet service or gas service is. And that’s all assuming this was a rented printer, not an owned one.

Nazis are literally just less common here. There’s not much reason to constantly talk about them in a meta sub fashion when they are already so rare I haven’t seen one in weeks and are routinely and swiftly banned.

Tankies on the other hand, are not.

Your protest just looks silly and obviously ridiculous. Not talking about the problem of Nazis in online discourse 24/7 isn’t an endorsement of them, different spaces have different problems.

Nothing really stopping you from tossing padding on it either. That’s a really good price.
