It's cool and impressive and totally impractical to use.

Impossible. The only way around it would be to pretend to be in literally any other country than the UK, and no one would you lie in the Internet! /s

As I said on another thread, my duolingo streak addiction made me fucking miserable, but I just couldn't stop. I knew that breaking it would plunge me into a horrible depressive state. I finally broke free after finishing the diamond league and make peace with "good enough". I haven't been able to use duolingo ever since, because there's apparently no way of just using duolingo normally without gamification.

Sure. I had to buy some replacement RAM sticks for a 2001 PC and was very glad to find a guy selling a bundle of them. Half were not working though.

Your particular idea is kinda silly because cars are usually outside, and they are dirty. But on an ideal world, no energy would be wasted in the home. The future home would have a central heat pump that would suck residual heat from the fridge compressor, as well as from the stove and oven after you turn them off. This heat would then be used to heat up water. The hot water drained from the shower could also be recaptured. Also, in the winter, the fridge "coldness" should just be coming from outside instead of using a compressor that produces lots of waste heat.

If you watch the whole video, it's really cool.

If you haven't, watch the Netflix series "Adolescence". It shows a little bit the extreme of the current state of the incelsphere.

I mean, yeah, and the government might just order ISPs to block the infringing domains. That's usually how it goes.

This is the law in the UK. Once mastodon become more commonplace, you can expect servers to start receiving warnings from the UK government... I don't think being not for profit allows you to get away with it either.

She was definitely not born with that ability...
