That’s its uninitialized position, I believe

Can you briefly describe how you’d fit the two together?

I always wonder about the people who describe calling out Russia’s dirty tricks and non-stop toxic behavior as “Russophobia”

You haven’t really thought through this have you

Let’s remember the role givesomefucks played getting Donald Trump elected, and how much the folks like him talk shit about the New York Times because “billionaires” when it suits them.

I just set my ecobee to “auto”; the only possible inconvenience is the required gap between heating setpoint and cooling setpoint so it doesn’t constantly flap back and forth as a result over overshooting the setpoint. I have the gap set to 3 degrees and tend to shift it up and down seasonally (e.g. heating setpoint at 72 and cooling setpoint at 75 in the winter, heating 69 and cooling 72 in the summer)

Insolation and air infiltration based on wind conditions likely affect loss as much as outside temp, and the thermostat doesn’t know that (it could presumably learn to relate time of day, cloud cover, day of year (solar angle), wind conditions with that - but it would take 2 years to learn and its response would be opaque - most homeowners want bang-bang control since they understand it.

There is plenty of coordinated inauthentic behavior here. You’ll notice it when the first few comments of every post somewhere like /c/politics consistently reinforce the “talking point of the month” to sow division among groups not aligned with Russian success.

blatant hypocrisy is a power move

also, call out trolls and shills - lemmy doesn’t have inauthentic behavior detection mechanisms, and it’s really easy to evade bans by creating accounts on a dozen instances.

If they act like a troll, fair enough to call them a troll.

The Russian way

I gave up on cute or clever names a while ago; now I go with “storage0”, “router0”, “wap00”, “vmhost0”. Always with a numeric suffix because there will be a -1, -2 some day.

Great idea! Totally impossible to get there from here though. We need to envision and communicate actionable steps people can actually get behind with individual action.

“tear down and replace the US electoral system” is not such a step.
