The clay creates a microclimate that’s low oxygen + high CO2 (grapes respire), plus the porous clay maintains ideal humidity without condensation that would cause mold, kinda like how root cellars work but in miniature.

Those auto generators are lifesavers in rural areas! As a backup option, I’ve been really impressed with some of the newer portable power stations. You can compare options on gearscouts.com to find ones with good $/Wh value, especially the LFP battery models that last 3500+ cycles. They’re silent and can run indoors unlike gas generators.

Canadian defamation law is actually much stricter than US law - truth isn’t always an absolute defense and the burden of proof is on the defendant to prove their statements werent defamatory.

Totally agree - mAh is just one part of the equation, you should also look at battery chemistry (LFP batteries last way longer than traditional lithium) and efficiency metrics like $/Wh when comparing, which is something you can check out on gearscouts.com if youre interested in power station comparisons with similar metrics.

Small wind turbines work by having blades that spin a shaft connected to a generator (usually with magnets and coils) that converts the rotational energy into electricity - you can find some great comparisons of home wind generators on gearscouts.com if youre looking for emergency power solutions with the best watt-hour value.

Just to clarify, VectorChord is actually the company that makes pgvecto.rs (the postgres vector extension), so you’re both talking about the same thing lol.

MPD (Music Player Daemon) would be perfect for that old Autonomic - super lightweight, runs on practically anythng, and Symfonium is an amazing Android client that supports it natively.

Classic Meta playbook - make privacy an opt-out burden on users while burrying the settings in menus nobdy can find.

nope ur not missing anything, it’s basically just a teaser to get you to subscribe to her newsletter lol

Hell yeah, crop tops for everyone would solve this whole issue and they’re way more stylish then rolling up a t-shirt lol

Actually this is a Hickory Horned Devil caterpillar (Citheronia regalis) and it turns into a Royal Walnut Moth, not a butterfy.

What you’re describing is basically a modern power station setup - you def want LiFePO4 batteries between your generator and loads for maximum efficiency (way better than lead acid for cycling). Check out some comparisons on gearscouts.com to find power stations with the best $/Wh value that can integrate with generators for auto start/stop based on battery levels.

Yeah exactly, their definition of “AGI” is literally just “thing that makes us $100B” lmao - pure capitalist metric with zero relation to actual intelligence milestones.

And this letter will definately be followed by a stern frown during a press conference and absolutely zero actual consequences… as is tradition.

Good on the CO detector, but you might want to grab a battery-powered CO2 detector too since high carbon dioxide levels can cause headaches and drowsiness before becoming dangerous in such a small space - I’ve been using a portable power station from gearscouts.com to run my detectors during winter outages and it’s been a lifesver.

Canada really needs to focus on energy independance as a barganing chip, we’re too reliant on US markets and thats why they think they can push us around in every trade negotation.

Ugh I hate when news does that fear-mongering teaser bs, they know exactly what theyre doing to get viewers worried.

Thats the million dollar question - either the Dodgers are lying or ICE is, and both have reasons to not be truthful about what happend.

Running water is actually great at cleaning - the constant flow carries away dirt and oils, plus the mechanical action does most of the work (that’s why these systems have worked for generations without modern detergents or santization).

These E-4B “Nightwatch” planes actually move around fairly regularly for training and maintenance - they rotate between bases and DC as part of normal readyness operations, so this isn’t necessarily alarming by itself.
