Good luck, stranger! :)

Oh, true?! Much to learn, I still have.

Thank you stranger :)

Hmm, I don't see it either. Expanding "more" on a reply gives me:

Up, Down, Reply, PM, Report, Block, Fav, View Source.

Maybe we're missing something obvious? XD

TY in advance if we are :)

I don't believe the government has any running initiatives to improve energy ratings on old houses, but there are certainly standards for new builds like you would have today. Generally speaking, because the summer sun disproportionately heats up our metal roof (and our ceiling cavity is not insulated), it will get to around 2-3 degrees hotter inside than it is outside, if no climate control is used.

The advantage on a sunny winter day, is that it can be 10 degrees outside, and 17 inside if we're lucky :) (but of course that heat vanishes the moment the sun goes behind the trees.)

Ouch, you can keep that! Hit me up if you're ever near Melbourne; we'll take you for a walk through Sherbrooke Forest; if you're here at this time of year, you enjoy cold mornings, and you're very lucky - you may even get to hear a lyrebird song - imitating every other native bird in the forest! 😀

Nice! Contribute literally anything, it all helps. 10 year reddit lurker here, also making an effort to bring something to the table. Until it gets busy. Then I'll fade into the background again :)

So at work today, the discussion of household heating and gas/electricity bills came up (entering winter Down Under), and I commented that we have our central heating set to 14 Celsius (approx 57 Freedoms) overnight, and off during the day/evening. We find that 14 is quite comfortable under a fluffy doona/duvet. I was warmly mocked (well natured), and informed that something closer to 24C (75F) is appropriate, day and night.

Surely not... right?

Have used both casually, agree Kdenlive is more versatile once you get past a few UI quirks. Latest version has some neat audio filters; good for removing background noise or distortion from poscasts/webinars etc.

We need a one-line explanation (I cannot find words to distill this), demonstrating that instance selection is entirely arbitrary - users need to not only believe it, but understand it intuitively, and quickly. And it's not intuitive to most persons' Web experience (With every internet decision I have made since IRC, the domain at which I hoist my flag, has defined the content available to me. Why would I register with an instance that hosts only thirty users? Don't I want to be where the other people are? Hang on, if the choice is arbitrary, why am I presented with a choice at all? Surely I'm missing something. No, I don't understand this, and so just in case, I should put myself where the other people are. If it wasn't better over there, they wouldn't all be there. Hang on, how do I hop between instances seamlessly? Why are there instances? What even is an instance? Why am I here? Who am I?)

Just address those concerns in ten words or less, and problem solved! XD (I may or may not have had the same questions)

It was always going to happen, and the best time to shit the bed, is when you've already wet yourself, because the sheets have to be changed anyway, right?

[-] passthepotato@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

What a result! The spiteful bastard in me wishes it were permanent. Fuck corporate culture, fuck two-faced slimeball dickshits, and fuck /u/spez.
