It’ll also need AI.

If only there was something more specific that a wider range of people could relate to.

One of those things is more specific than the other.

How does that make it better?

Does ammonium chloride brine not freeze at different pressures?

Why does it have to be based on weather? There’s plenty of other reasons to measure temperature. Some with handy reference points that lots of people are familiar with.

Wait, he chose 96, or he measured it?

Well if you’re going to bring precautions into it, we may as well say the upper and lower bounds should include things like ‘feels hot even with air conditioning on’ or ‘survivable with a heated jacket and boots’.

Imperial is defined by the metric system anyway.

Rather than say people are using imperial, I just say they are using metric with some extra complications thrown in.

I don’t think I can tell the difference if something is only one degree apart in Celcius, let alone Fahrenheit.

Comparing an 18C day to a 19C day, for example, I challenge anyone to notice a difference. A 64F to 65F day? Good luck.

I agree with the Celsius scale making sense around zero. Water freezing is probably one of the most relatable, quantifiable examples of a temperature point for the most humans. However, lots of people don’t live somewhere that it snows, or even own a freezer.

So what’s the most common touch point for people? I’d go with water boiling. I can’t really think of what sort of person who did not have exposure to that at some point. That should be the zero point, the common denominator.

Should I not be cooking anything tomato based with my cast iron?

This isn’t so much a vision for the future, as it’s an option right now.

I can’t wait until work puts in car chargers- Top off the battery for free during the day, come home and sell that juice back to the grid, baby!

It may or may not be a string.

I’m interested in your comment about perceptions, could you unpack that a little more?

Colour of Magic is the first Discworld, and one of Pratchett’s first novels. He grew into his voice a lot more over the course of the next fifty-something novels.

Most of the strongest, most unique women I’ve read have been of Pratchett’s creation. And not just heroes that happen to be described as female, but fully fleshed out women ranging from feminists who wish to support their husband to trans females pretending to be males dressing as women in order to fight the patriarchy.

If you’re willing to give the Discworld another go, and I urge you to, there’s a couple of reading order guides online. ‘Guards, Guards!’ is generally recommended as a good starting point, but I’d also suggest Wyrd Sisters, Mort, Going Postal, or if you really want to dive into the gender thing, Equal Rites or Monstrous Regiment.

I’m struggling to understand. I’m imagining an Apple Surface, is that what you are thinking?

If I wanted to access my Jellyfin at home from a smart TV elsewhere, is that possible (securely)? Or would I need something that can run a vpn?

The SD card reader has nothing to do with the serial port, so you’re fine on that point.

I would just try and roll back to the bigtreetech firmware for the 1.3, even if it’s for an older Marlin. Once thats working, build Marlin 2.1, updating the configuration to match the known working one.

Your purpose in life is now to supply power to the grid. At first it’ll be great, you’re celebrated as a neat way to keep the baseline juice coming as fossil fuels phase out. Then you’re asked to stay back a few hours as there’s a shortfall predicted, you oblige out of duty. Then one day you wake up in a drugged daze, strapped to a giant battery, your nutritional needs piped directly to your bloodstream as scientists ever so carefully cut you open to try and figure out how this works, because despite their best efforts to keep your wrecked body alive, one day you will die, and the utter reliance of the grid on your free energy will die with it, and with that kick off the downfall of humanity.

This is literally how Workflowy, my list-making app of choice, works. And I love it.
