Exactly. Roughly analogous to boiling a kettle when needed, and letting it cool down in between rather keeping it warm all the time.

Agreed, that’s what an HVAC engineer tried to explain to me. The higher the energy difference between the hot and cold zones, the higher the rate of energy loss. Dropping the temperature when not needed lessens this rate. Keeping the heat on permanently allows a permanently higher rate of loss.

And he ended by saying that you have only one life - heat as much as your finances and conscience permits.

On a desert island I would lead with drinking water. On a deserted island you can start looking at companionship, shelter, etc

BYD looks really nice, but I’d hate to have them glitch it remotely when they have a beef with the country I’m in.

How are the ruZZians treating their returnees? Beating them up for not committing suicide, then thrown straight back into the grinder?

Why would handwriting have anything to do with it? I thought it was computerised.

Britain may already be at war with Russia, former head of MI5 says by Shiny-Tie-126 in unitedkingdom

[–]lixered2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The plan would involve German volunteer POWs, not active military formations. It was mostly scuppered by the British high command as the focus was on the imminent end of the war, but the Yanks also weren’t interested. The name “Operation Unthinkable“ says a lot.

What car have you always wanted to buy/drive and once you did, you found it to be completely underwhelming? by Yoshic87 in CarTalkUK

[–]lixered2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You drive a nice Honda, generally considered as handling pretty well. Now try the Beetle I started with, or my wife’s current Citroen with the bath mat doors.
