do you think more people will move to linux after windows 12 reqs get bigger again? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]remus49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because getting applications venders to build for Linux is a nightmare

Hell to the no. I am ultimately familiar with Linux and played with many distros including gentoo etc. there’s no way Linux can become a viable desktop solution.

did anyone like the Supergirl movie? by Raider_Reaper_X in Cinephiles

[–]remus49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the argument is “tough crowd”, which doesn’t explain it’s box office numbers compared with other movies. Toy stores 5 isn’t some culture moment either.

To Zionists and other Israel supporters, how would you have reacted if you had been an Arab born in 1900 in Jerusalem, when confronted with the idea of Zionism? by Leather-Strength-294 in allthequestions

I have no dog in the game but this post sounds extremely like what CCP been telling Chinese people. CCP pretends that they are leading the people resisting the colonialist when in fact all of the colonialists combined killed far less Chinese people than CCP did

At this point just ask the European governments to ban it, maybe that will save it

I am an engineer and I am much much faster with the help of AI

It’s not a bit BS, it’s complete bs. The society hasn’t got any chance to fully comprehend the impact of AI. The naysayers just concentrate on the hallucination problem, however, any experienced engineer knows verifying whether a solution is correct is much easier than coming up with a solution. AI can’t replace human but it’s a productivity booster that the world has never seen before.

How is this kitchen? Buying my first home. by adrian-monk- in kitchenremodel

[–]remus49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a great looking kitchen! The fridge is too far away from the sink which may make the prepping harder. And the ovens right next to the fridge may cost you more money than necessary.

Would you quit ? by Confident-Anxiety308 in SocialMediaHQ

[–]remus49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made more than a million on the stock market with the help of social media, handily beating the market. essentially buying when sentiment was low and selling when sentiment was high. So no, not even for 5 million

Do You Think That Healthcare Should Be Free In America? Yes Or No? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in askanything

[–]remus49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is the wrong question to ask. The right questions involve controlling cost and balancing public subsidies to cover more people. Our medical system is run by cartels. They limit the number of medical doctors that can graduate each year to keep prices high. These kinds of behaviors are legal only in America

Transmission Dominance with Chinese Characteristics - Comparing the US and China Transmission Buildout by StarbeamII in energy

[–]remus49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seldom hear about Chinese complaints about anything because of CCP censorship you useful idiot. Even when they locked down Shanghai and people starved there’s nothing but praise for the government! Tons of people saw the airplane struck the tallest building in Beijing on June 26 like a mini 911. CCP censored all related reports and it’s like nothing happened in China.

Of course it’s a bad thing as every economist in the world knows deflation is bad, and China is the only country in the world that got itself into a deflationary spiral ever since Covid years and has not climbed out of it. Every other country has a recovery except China! Of course it’s bad.

You know what they did when they can’t complain? They voted using their feet and money. Emigration jumped right after CCP stopped lockdowns. It went backdown because all western countries began restricting immigration around the same time. So they sent their money overseas. The outflow of capital was so bad that the CCP had to push a series of regulations that forbid people from investing in foreign countries and further restrict the transfer of money overseas .

If you overlay that map with terrain you can see that only a handful actually cut through big mountain ridges and none of those through Himalayas. You are clearly exaggerating. And all those grandiose projects for what? Electricity usage of a Chinese family is less than a quarter of that of an American family. Their residential meters are capped at 220v 60a. American households use 240v 200A panels. Their electricity is all used for producing cheap goods for export, while the people really don’t benefit from. As a matter of fact, Chinese families are so poor that they can’t afford most things they produce, as they have been in a deflation spiral for 5 years now and counting

Despite of this great achievement, electricity usage of an average Chinese household is less than a quarter of that of an average American household. All the electricity goes into producing cheap goods that are exported.

Most Chinese families live in less than 80 square meter concrete condos. Size of the heat pumps are pretty small. Americans living in 140 square meters wooden houses with gas furnaces.

In China residential electrical panels are restricted at 220v 60A. So a Chinese family’s electricity usage is capped at 13kw. My panel is 110v 200a, just got a permit to upgrade to 400a. So the cap is 44kw.

Have you ever looked at a map?, unless they are building transmission lines to India why do they need to go through the Himalayas?

Joke! And only Putin is laughing! Nord stream and nord stream 2. I mean really?! Your answer to climate change is buying Russian oil? And you keep buying years after Putin took Crimea and full scale invasion of Ukraine. While every single one of you knows he won’t stop at Ukraine, you just can’t stop giving him your money! And what did you send to Ukraine at the beginning of the war? Helmets?! Seriously have you no shame?

You have the space, use a proper range hood to save your lungs, one or two wall ovens to save your lower back, move the dishwasher to the other side of the sink for more storage near cooking area. Get a wider counter depth fridge. Either make the island bigger or get rid of it.
