What’s the plan if we run out of oil? I mean seriously, it’s gonna happen eventually. Even if you want to ignore the science on climate change, you can’t ignore basic laws of the universe that oil is a finite resource. If we don’t have a plan for when it runs out, there will be utter chaos.
It doesn’t matter if they’re actually “breaking” laws, the government will find a way to make sure they are. It’s the subject of the protest that they don’t like.
Most thermostats would fail in that timeframe. Our original Nest thermostat failed this year because the connection that turns on the furnace wore out or became thin. Caused our furnace to click on and off repeatedly and ruined a relay on the furnace’s circuit board. Had to replace the thermostat and the furnace circuit board. Costly repair. Upgrade your thermostat before it wears out.
Yeah, but don’t give the power company control over the temperature in your house. That has gone poorly in Texas with people unable to turn on their AC on super hot days because they opted in to some program that they may not have understood.
The built in features of occupancy detection / geo fencing are cool though.
Feels like the world has become less open. A few years ago, I would have visited just about any country. But, there are more and more I just won’t visit now. I just don’t want to end up a political prisoner in some janky country with an axe to grind with the US. Or, there are literal wars happening there.
Same, though my dad was liberal. He just kind of rage listened to these guys. Needless to say, I was young and impressionable and picked up some of their extreme views in my youth, but later got straightened out when I went to college. Fuck AM radio. It is responsible for radicalizing people who spend a lot of time in their vehicles. We should not require it in vehicles. I feel the damage done outweighs the potential benefits from emergency messaging. Everyone has a phone for that these days anyway.
Seems like a possible, hypothetical scenario that happened there. Looks like some inadvertent collateral damage. Looks like these boys walked into the line of Israeli fire, according to some critics, according to Hamas, according to Pro-Palestinian voices, according to anti-Semitic opponents of Israel. Looks like an isolated incident.
UK sucks
