Both Kobo and Minimal Phone. Either way, they have e-paper displays.

Tend to use the Kobo for heavier reading since it's got a bigger screen, but the Minimal works great too, just smaller.

Possibly? But how are apps supposed to handle that when they expect an API response?

Is there a reason you're applying it to the API? Most only apply it to the UI.

When applied to the API, apps and clients that validate the instance by calling /api/v3/site will fail.

Heat pumps move heat. In the summer, it's pulling heat from inside and moving it outside and the opposite of that in the winter.

Basically, the temperature differential is what makes the difference. The larger the differential, the more energy it has to use.

In the winter, when it's 30 degrees (F) outside, and you want it to be 70 inside, that's 40 degrees it has to move. In the summer when it's 90 degrees outside, and you want it at 70 inside, that's only 20 degrees.

Air source heat pumps, as the name implies, pull heat from (and exhaust heat to) the ambient air. When it's really cold in the winter, there's less ambient heat to move inside, so it has to run longer. Some (all?) heat pumps also have an auxiliary resistive heating element to make up the difference which lowers efficiency quite a bit.

Granted, newer heat pumps can work well down to lower temperatures without having to engage the aux heat than the older ones I'm familiar with, but in a nutshell, that's why they can potentially use less energy in the summer.

Now all I want to do is invent a blended cocktail called "Kernel Panic".

Can't forget its pseudo-predecessor America's Funniest Home Videos and all of the guys recording themselves getting kicked/hit in the groin to try to win $10,000.

The Fingers You Have Used to Dial are Too Fat

I had that as the outgoing message on my voicemail for years. People hated it Eye Roll

Who wouldn't want to be Frankie when they grow up?

 

 

Ordered an MP back in June for the July batch and finally received it today. Loving it so far even though it's got a few quirks.

(The Minimal is the e-ink phone with the QWERTY keyboard).

I've been using a dumb phone for a while now and didn't want to go back to a full smartphone, so this seemed like a decent compromise.

Probably the biggest annoyance I've noticed is the Alt and Shift buttons being in illogical places and wishing those were reversed.

And yes I made this post on it and am aware of the irony 😆

 

This has been floating on the internet for years, so not my OC except remaking it with HD screen grabs.

We're all in our 40s. My spirit may be willing but my body cannot handle bar hopping.

You kinda need to know the scene for this one, so here's the clip:
