@boredzo although modern furnaces already do a second loop through the heat exchanger, and it bleeds enough heat the exhaust gas partially condenses to water. Last winter we had a cold snap and the furnace worked fine but the water drain line froze.

I wonder if one of the reasons chp hasn’t really caught on is it’s not terribly efficient.

@boredzo I’ve always found combined heat and power units cool too, they’re basically generators on the back or your furnace.
@aleen my wife and I have had lengthy “discussions” about how me reading means “available for full talking”
@simon I realized recently you can put GitHub actions in dependabot.
@darkuncle @stshank @cstross I think the sneak trick of that puzzle is always that the host knows which door not to pick.
@aleen @jeneralist my favorite weird covidism is that masking eradicated one entire strain of the flu.
@simon Brandon Sanderson referred to ai art generation as being an art director (vs an artist) and I kind of liked that terminology too. Surgeon is similar.

@aleen I’ve never gotten the bulbs to actually work, a syringe might be promising. I usually just go to a clinic.

Although I went to an ent for some sinus bullshit once and she had a microscope with a vacuum pump. “Oh just a sec” and clicked the button. Gone.

@aleen @mahadevank the always seem so surprised. I usually go with “it’s just English statistics; “the is followed 90.% of the time by a noun …” but trained on basically the entire internet”
@elizayer that’s always been the case though, this is just the next round. “We should offshore development, they can write all that pesky code and it’ll be so much cheaper!”
