Ah yes, the "Waterfall Paradox".
If there is no secret behind the waterfall: "Are you kidding me? How could they not put something behind this waterfall?"
If there is a secret behind the waterfall: "Of course they went with the lazy trope of putting a secret behind the waterfall. Typical!"
I don't see how this is "full circle". In places where it does get that cold, most homes already have a form of heating for the house. Adding on a heat pump or, at least in my case in the Midwest, replacing the central AC unit with a heat pump just means that you're only kicking that original heating system on a few days out of the year. That's a massive reduction in use compared to being the only source of heat for half the year.
It's a problem that new construction homes would need to fix if they don't want an NG connection at all, but it's not unsolvable.
Funny timing, considering I'm for the first time having trouble getting a TP-Link AC600 working on a Mint install.
Yeah, it was literally one "cycle", it's right about time for people to start getting trading in their phone and getting the new version that they got the Pass for.
I don't need a new phone every year, but I liked the security of the Pass idea, similar to Apple's plan.
Who knows why Google does these things. I doubt they know.
Breathe deep!
While I don't want to necessarily sign myself up for a debate and I don't think nuclear energy is perfect, I think pound for pound it's a better alternative for large scale power production than fossil fuels. Any issue that nuclear energy has, fossil fuels have as well, and usually worse on a per kWH basis. We've just lived with those ramifications for so long that we're more comfortable dealing with it. A great example is nuclear waste. Yes, it's a problem that needs to be dealt with, but so is coal waste. We just already have infrastructure in place already for coal waste, and coal waste is much more abundant. Per kWH, the nuclear waste generated is on the order of grams while the waste generated by coal power plants per kWH is on the order of kilograms. And coal fired power plants create radioactive waste as well, usually from incidental uranium and thorium, so we already have to take that into account. So yes it's an issue, but the amount of waste that needs to be dealt with is much lower overall.
That's good for you, that you have the ability to buy a better plan. There are huge swaths of the US where they simply don't have that freedom of choice.
And they settled on 100mbps as the standard because that's what it needs to be...a standard. Not a mandate that "all internet to every house shall only be 100mbps" but rather that 100mbps be the bare minimum that we are able to provide across the country.
Yup. And if you want to look up more info on how to do it correctly, look up hard drive shucking.
