A typical bike-riding leftist urbanite who also happens to be a hockey-crazy Western Canadian.

“Steam gauges” on car/plane instrument panels. Yeah, digital displays are cheaper to manufacture and less prone to failure, but they kinda suck the fun out of it.

I seem to remember some list of “enforceable conditions” set out by the government for this merger. So those were bullshit, I guess.

Another W for the telecom cartel.

I used what known as 2’s compliment. Take the complement (flip all the bits - here that would give you 01110 which is 14) then add 1.

Did you only try F2? It’s possible the graphical session is on tty2 - see if ctl+alt+F1/ 3 does anything

Not a myth. What’s inside the fridge doesn’t really matter when talking about efficiency. It pretty much only depends on the rate at which energy seeps into the fridge from outside. All else being equal, chest fridges allow significantly less heat transfer through an open door than regular fridges, and are therefore a more efficient design.

You’re completely right about the second part, though. It’s just not practical, and the fact you would have to keep the door open longer while you rummage around for stuff renders the point moot anyway.

safer for all parties

If you were a pedestrian who had to walk through one of those designs, I guarantee you would not feel very safe.

The problem with traffic engineering is that it’s solely concerned with vehicle traffic. Making roads safer and easier to drive on for cars actively makes them worse for everyone outside a car.

You should look into kodi. It’s a big screen oriented media player/organizer app.

This is why carbon pricing should be done upfront. Pretty hard to lie about the physical volume of fossil fuels getting delivered to your factory
