Mine was kinda that we do if we could adjust our patterns and habits a little bit to live with the world as it is vs imposing ourselves on it. Forcing “companies” (read corpos) to do something other than maximize extraction is a big part of that

In most hydronic heating systems I’ve worked on, there’s an insulated tank of hot water either somewhere in between the boiler and radiators or built into the boiler directly. The thermostats talk to valves that send the water to radiators in the rooms that need it. The boiler just keeps that water at a set temperature.

In larger buildings with really long runs, sometimes there are valves to bypass certain radiators and/or multiple tanks located around the building. I can’t say without more information about your home, but it might make sense to have one near the area you’re trying to heat most.

No storage tank at all and thermostats that fire up your boiler directly sounds very unusual and inefficient. The expansion tank you have is just meant to stabilize pressure, it doesn’t have enough volume to do much for temperature

Just chiming in to say I think this guy’s got the right idea. I realize what community this is posted in, but sometimes when you’re really into your hammer everything starts to look a little too much like a nail. If you have room for it (sounds like a pretty big house) a buffer tank would make a huge difference

It was funny :p

I’m gonna do a hate crime just for the bag

…they should charge at work during peak solar and run their homes off their car batteries at night. That’s where you were going, right?

Through… branding, merch sales, and fear of the other? Not sure I get it

“Make Europe Great Again” vibes

I’m sorry I called you a jabroni and hope you’re having a nice day :)

This looks both good and easy, gonna try it

Those are incredibly similar boats to the one I posted, just older shittier and viewed through a gun cam. They get whipped out of Florida by hurricanes and repurposed all over the Caribbean. The bare minimum to call this a conversation is not putting words in my mouth, no shit people smuggle drugs, if you’ve never done it you’re a huge nerd. There is absolutely not some shadowy organization building “drug boats” as an attack on America and absolutely no excuse for us to be down there blowing shit up, legal minutia about rules of engagement aside

Man the only thing us having this discussion proves is that you’re either putting a whole lot of effort into justifying US intervention for a self professed leftist or see this conversation as something to win. The “crime” here is regime change in Venezuela for a shitton of oil and we’re here arguing about the plausibility of some set dressing for the manufacture of consent. Check out this factory fresh drug smuggling boat. Definitely not a rich man’s sportfishing plaything, purpose built by brown commie narcoterrorists to destroy our freedom

Yeah, who likes going fast anyways? I would bet everything in my pockets that most of the drugs in this country come in on regular container ships with the rest of the freight, and long skinny ass-haulers with multiple outboards are the default toy of wealthy Floridians since time immemorial. I can extrapolate that to Venezuela a lot easier than I can dream up a scenario where it makes sense to ship fent precursors over from China and run a bunch of pills up the coast on speedboats. Talk to a cop or a junkie, whichever fits your politics. Either one will tell you that’s just not how it works

We all know art is hard, artists gotta starve

The real deal will always be there and never be easy. Fuck “content”, fuck entertainment, fuck packaging yourself for sale. To know and be known is the most human thing there is. Genuine self-expression was never commercially viable and isn’t going anywhere as long as there are two people to engage with one another. That’s art. It’s not something you can be “good with LLMs” at, no matter how technically proficient their output

Damn, calibre was so good for so long. This is why I love open source though! No big deal, just time to move on.

Worst part is going to be having to tell people about it every time calibre gets recommended for the next year or so lol, like the whole Organic Maps > CoMaps thing

Tell me more about what drug smuggling boats look like ya jabroni. Their only shared characteristic is “having drugs aboard” and I’m real curious how your eagle eyes are picking that out

Good job buddy :)

Long as we’ve got an expert here (not sarcastic, this is cool insight, thank you) what’s the downside?

The purpose of a system is what it does, or something
