You don’t really need complicated control theory for HVAC (at least, on a per-room or house basis) , since the system has such a huge heat capacity and takes a long time to change. Simple set point control with 100% on/off operation and a 2 degree dead zone gets the job done

The first amendment might be dead, but the second one isn’t. Exercise it.

Twitch has been babying Piker for years. He’s violated their TOS so frequently that I’m surprised they didn’t give him a kiss on the forehead for this

It’s a nice sentiment, but unfortunately we live in a world where public transit infra is scrutinized much harder than roadways. At least with toll roads the extra cost burden isn’t passed onto taxpayers who don’t drive.

Show this to any automotive engineer and count how many seconds before they start laughing

50% is not effectively the same as 100%

People believing that they’re the same is the kind of mindset that leads to a Trump victory. Apathy rewards extremists.

Calling Elizabeth May a lawmaker is the most credibility the federal Green party has ever gotten

Trump is a moron and taking back the Panama Canal is a stupid idea, but comparing it to the 1989 invasion is also pretty dumb. 90% of Panamanians supported it.

Djibouti is very content to have the protection that a foreign military base offers. That’s why they let China build one too

The US military has a strong no first use policy with nuclear weapons that has been in place since the beginning of the cold war. They would absolutely not do it again unless someone else launched first

This was in Toronto, and to call the ebike courier job market here “oversaturated” would be an understatement.

The drones attacking ships in Ukraine are boats loaded with explosives, and they cost much more than $200

So long as that country runs on 2 stroke engines, this problem will only get worse

Trump voters are not garbage, most of them are frankly just ignorant and maybe a little dull. Calling Trump supporters garbage on the other hand would be an insult to garbage

There’s idealistic foreign policy, and there’s pragmatic foreign policy

Wash trading is also illegal on wall street

Do you think buying it from a street dealer isn’t corporatized? Cartels are basically just black market multinationals at this point. If anything, legalization would make it less corporate since you could grow it in your backyard.

It will seem more corporate once it’s legal, but that’s just because the business is being conducted in daylight.
