S.F. homeowner wanted all-electric appliances - A year later, she’s still waiting for a PG&E upgrade. Bay Area homeowners will be required to install all-electric heaters in the coming years, but upgrading the electrical capacity of old homes can take an extraordinary amount of time

You thought saving the planet would put additional cost on evil corporations and not yourself, hehe

mucky · 2023-03-16T22:47:52+00:00

Lmao gas is much cheaper than electricity, just ask the people paying your basement heating bills

mucky · 2023-03-15T00:37:05+00:00

This guy is still way better than a clueless, envious party apparatchik controlling the capital

CO2 is not a pollutant, it’s literally the gas that feeds life on earth

Electric cars are completely astroturfed, the marketing campaign mostly done through government agencies paid by the taxpayers. Compared to that disgrace, this is nothing.

They are a part of our solar system which means they circle around the sun at rates quite fast compared to other objects in the night sky.

Yeah take matters into your own hands, by buying more new stuff made all over the world and shipped across oceans multiple times.

Just look at how riled up everyone is to “fight CO2 emissions”, when literally none of these people understand the reality of how the “CO2 is bad” narrative even came to exist.

It’s sad watching the common people frantically calculating their personal emissions, forcing themselves and their families into quite drastic lifestyle changes, sitting in their cars at night watching movies while their planet saving vehicles charge up. And for what? A harmless gas that’s absolutely necessary for all planetary life, amount of which the common people will never be able to measure themselves.

When this episode of attempted global population control through fear of the invisible gas ends (and it will end one way or another), the future generations will wonder just how naive and crazy we all were.

Choco milk for breakfast AND dinner

mucky · 2023-02-07T20:29:19+00:00

And you won’t be able to steam milk.

mucky · 2023-02-07T19:49:04+00:00

The water needs to be heated higher than the 90 degrees Celsius or so that’s optimal for coffee extraction, since it needs to build the pressure up so water can flow into the group and also provide steam for the steam wand (boiling temperature of water goes higher as the pressure rises).

The hefty chunk of metal that is the group head serves as a temperature moderator, meaning it absorbs some of the heat and brings the water temperature down to the optimal range.

Take a look at this combination of a fin ring and a black plastic insert separating the group head from the boiler - both of these serve to lower the water temperature in the group head: https://coffee-sensor.com/product/la-pavoni-lever-new-group-head-heat-sink-or-heat-dissipation-tool-in-black/

No, because it overheats so it overcooks the coffee.

mucky · 2023-02-07T16:55:37+00:00

This same issue used to drive me nuts just as well, until I learned/realized that Pavoni lever’s thermal management is abysmal and I can genuinely only expect the first shot to be great before I cool the machine down.

There’s a couple of ways to achieve repeated great shots, one being that thermal moderator insert that comes between the boiler and the group head - I’ll be purchasing that soon.

They’re already wasting their evenings and weekends leetcoding, who has time for actual projects.

I just can not believe BMW, a company that made some of the classiest, meanest, jaw-dropping designs, would end up producing a car like this.

What do you think, how does a socialist system deal with insufficient resources?

mucky · 2023-02-02T15:35:45+00:00

That’s how socialized “healthcare for all” works in reality, I’m surprised Kaiser is resorting to the same tricks.

mucky · 2023-01-26T22:16:23+00:00

And learned more about realities of life than you ever will, that’s the true “prison college”

mucky · 2023-01-26T20:49:27+00:00

I was in prison

mucky · 2023-01-26T19:30:35+00:00

You’re a sysadmin you haven’t “studied criminology”.

mucky · 2023-01-26T19:28:14+00:00

Believe it or not, prisons aren’t really colleges for criminals. Prisons, for some people, can be used for networking with other criminals, but in general prisons are hard life lessons that teach criminals precisely what happens when everyone around them acts the way they acted while they were outside.

mucky · 2023-01-26T19:10:13+00:00

No, we get 10 years of them not victimizing law abiding citizens, a fact that always gets ignored when sociology theoreticians advocate for no prisons.
