I see a similar issue in designing systems that must stay operational. Designing for a single fault is pretty simple, but designing for 2 or more faults becomes difficult and expensive, fast.

Power supply for instance. You can get a 2nd power supply in case your 1st goes out. You can get a UPS in case your power goes out, you can get a 2nd ups in case your first goes out, you can get your own generator and generator maintenance service plans in case of a multi hour outage. At this point you’re still under $50k

You can design, zoning/permit, and build your own fuel reserves. You can have a separate grid interconnect agreement built. You can build a power plant with railway interconnects for for fuel delivery.

I can’t get 3 people to agree on lunch. No way are we goi g to all agree on carbon footprint reduction actions.

It’s easier to stop 801 people vs 335 million.

It’s really helped me get recipes without website ads overtaxing my old surface.

Are spelling and punctuation expected to be accurate?

Because I can take a jar of mayo that’s 1 year old out of the underground shelter and eat it by the handful.

I’m more interested in PR having representation then how it affects my own opinions.

You’ll see a lot more CVEs.

Resistive heating elements are inefficient compared to heat pumps, and usually cost more to run than gas.

If it’s an old a/c system you may want to upgrade it to a heat pump. In many cases you can keep the air handler and resistive heat and only replace the outdoor unit and indoor coil.

Cool. Heat pumps are better for most use cases.

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

They are no more efficient than exposed element heaters.

That’s Jerry.

Also, a “what bug is this” post should include your location.

I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

We propose that condensate-mediated scission represents a previously undescribed scission mechanism that depends on the physicomolecular properties of the condensate and is involved in a range of trafficking processes.

I'm only an hour into this person's 4 hour(!) review/criticism of the Star Wars hotel and am baffled at how poorly this was handled.
