ok funny story about this actually. In the middle of winter our heater broke so it was really cold in the house. I had like 3 blankets covering me, but was still cold, so what did I do?
I put DOOM Eternal on my Steamdeck with the sound off and opened http://allblackscreen.com/ so it would show pure black and would act like a little heater to warm up my ‘igloo’ of blankets

My bitcoin miners did this to my garage roof. I was waiting for a police search for a grow operation.

Pro:

  • a major problem for miners is heat dissipation

  • the chips commodify more every year

Con:

  • retail energy costs more than wholesale energy

  • heat pumps are more cost effective in most cases

Heat pumps are more efficient, yes, but people still use space heaters to heat small areas. I can’t pick up and move a heat pump around my home lol. Heating a small area a few more degrees is going to be cheaper than heating the whole house more a few more degrees (even with a heat pump).

The details on the ground level snowman are so good. The serpentine track where they rolled the big body ball first, then a smaller track for a smaller body ball. They thought this through. That’s what I appreciates abouts it.

Hey, that gives me an idea. Bonsai weed, small enough to run its full lifecycle within the confines of a PC case.

This is 100% a thing. Basically just give it a flowering light cycle when it’s barely past the clone stage

Did anyone else see the comic, and get confused why the roof had blood all over the other two houses?

Took me a good 10 seconds to be like “oooooh…”

I’m just waking up. I guess the lesson here is, don’t wake up.
