@politicalmath The Republican's punishment for ballot harvesting would be very different from the Democrat’s. For him to ballot harvest was mere misbehavior, tradition, he didn’t know any better. But for the Republican to ballot harvest would be ‘election interference.’

@KafkeKretz @smolbep @Neko_Tet @ymmayerr 150g raw is actually a fairly small single chicken breast. In the US at least, packaged chicken breast is typically minimum 360g for two breasts, and 500g is not unusual.

@AlexanderPayton They'll move on like nothing happened

As Ron White said: it's not that the wind is blowing, it's what the wind is blowing

@Orbital_Perigee @JeffBezos NO DOOMING

@mazst @TheBaconFather Yeah, it rains here too

@PATRICK_KCWX They get all their knowledge of structural engineering from the three little pigs

@tbarty03 @jared_shult They worked for 40 years and never saved anything? Sounds like they should have tightened their belts and cut out the avocado toast.

@Irish_R_M @Schizointel If that were true we wouldn’t be inundated with Europeans complaining about the heat each year when the temps crack 80

@RealHarryFlash @CatholicAce You’re right, you can be fired at any time and lose that income

I just calculated solar radiation flux for a 1000 square foot roof at 45 degrees latitude in the summer, I didn’t bother adding convection from the air or radiation on the walls or through windows. Roofs are pretty dark, so they should be absorbing like 90% of that.

Regardless, if you assume it’s 90kW, over a day that’s like 1000 kWh from the sun vs your claimed 53 kWh from humans and electricity.

The now-deleted comment that the person I replied to was replying to stated that a house is different from a person in a coat. I was supporting that assertion by calculating that the heat load that you are trying to keep out is much much greater than the heat load from the occupants.

If the person in a coat had a personal cooling system that could extract the heat load from their body heat, they could actually be cooler wearing a thick parka on a sunny beach day.

@cllrsarahmason You may be on to something here

@CyborgPeds Why is it such a big deal to change the clocks twice a year? You're a little tired for like a day in the spring and in the fall you get a bonus hour.

In exchange, you get an extra hour of daylight in the evening for 8 months out of the year.

Why is this such a burden?

@Gusdog481 @revenant_MMXX Maybe she should cut out the avocado toast and lattes and start a power washing business for some extra spending money

[Jeff @_dabblinj]

@tinman197474747 @CyborgPeds Hmmm, brick plus a bunch of insulation makes a good insulation system

[Jeff @_dabblinj]

You may want to reread the person you are replying to and consider that just maybe they are being sarcastic

[Jeff @_dabblinj]

@ihlbit @CyborgPeds Brick is a terrible insulator. They use it for ovens because they have a high heat tolerance and high thermal mass.

@physicsgeek @alexthechick Well, for me it’s because the discourse is always “here’s a proposal to reduce taxes on my favored special interest group” (which I am never a part of) and never “here’s a proposal to cut the budget in half.”

@teppizini And “oh by the way, I don’t think I should have to pay property taxes anymore”
