Comment bad design (Score 0) 234

it's not the cold, it's the things you do to escape it, that make you sick. your buildings and carriages are sealed up like tupperware, into which you blow hot air, usually loaded with moisture. convection heating is cheap and easy, a very low budget way of making people feel warm. proper radiant heating and healthy fresh air are expensive and difficult to maintain. of course, you could just dress for the weather, but most of you don't.

i can't breathe in your world, i drown in my own perspiration every time i get on a bus, go shopping for groceries.

it was minus two here, and dropping, the last i looked, and my windows are open wide, as they always are, year round.

the air tastes like fresh water.

Comment my share must remain in the ground (Score 1) 203

i gave up burning fossil fuels (to every extent possible) well over a decade ago.

you/they have collectively burned far more than your fair share already.

my share - the oil i am not burning - stays in the ground, and this should be law.

haha, and also god is alive and well, and working on a much less ambitious project.

i break model Ms regularly. the pins inside the case cannot take a great deal of lateral shock - the plastic feels nice, but it's not very strong, and it degrades.

unicomps do not feel quite as nice, i admit, but the important bits are there, and i can type without killing myself on it, and as far as i can tell it's a better plastic, as in more flexible, better impact resistance, less likely to degrade.

unfortunately only time will tell...

Comment would the "is fixed because i use something else" (Score 1) 399

clowns please pipe down.

this seems a simple error to actually fix, so why is everybody fapping off about this thing, and not fixing it?

or did i miss the patch?

i'm actually hoping for a reply here, sorry if i missed the meeting, otherwise will be applying my own patch, very quickly.

i rely on bash and it's isms, it's a good thing, and ought to be more of a standard.
