Would exhaust from site of the proposed power plant / data center flow to the Weber/Davis/Salt Lake Wasatch front areas that have the bad inversions? Or is this far enough north an…

It absolutely is about storage capacity. If California built out a better system of reservoirs, it wouldn't need to take water from other states in the Colorado river basin.

If I am looking to get something that works with Home Assistant or esphome to replace my first gen nest thermostat, what should I get?

I had the same question and this article was really helpful in explaining the threat models https://www.deloitte.com/nl/en/services/risk-advisory/perspe...

Thanks for the explanation. So you don’t think the 1:10k odds compounded over every space launch are enough to be a problem? I was thinking that maybe as you get to a scale where y…

It’s because the sweet spot of EVs is replacing Toyota Corollas but cheaper (like BYD), not trying to replace the thing you haul your boat or trailer with (f-150 lightning). BYD li…

Is Kessler syndrome the Great Filter ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter )? As in, is it the thing that makes it so no one else has broken out of their planet to come visi…

WaPo endorsing Harris would have changed exactly 0 minds. Everyone that would have read it already agrees with them. But it would have made them feel good about their existing worl…

I did something very similar with my Pioneer minisplit. but i used this esp module you can just buy. Super simple and cheap: https://smartlight.me/smart-home-devices/wifi-devices/w…

My understanding is that T-mobile solved their spectrum issue in the failed deal with AT&T. As part of the penalties of the deal not going through, AT&T had to give them a bunch of…

Something affecting Mormon fertility rates specifically is the dramatic increase in housing costs in the “Mormon Corridor” (the inter mountain us west strip of geography where most…

I don't know, if that's one of these ports than it does https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pOcfLm3yjtwB-uIJ_v8Un6afZmX... oh and here's a bonus pic showing the $6 price tag from when…

I'm still using an HP LaserJet 5m that I got used from the local university's surplus sales department for $6 twenty years ago. It was made in 1995, so was 10 years old then and al…

I live in Utah. If that's what happens, that would be awesome! "Sorry kids, no fb/tiktok/insta and there's nothing I can do about it. None of them work where we live" Would be a hu…

what do people do that have kids between the "too big for cargo bike" and "too young to drive their own car" category? I used to take my kids all the time on my e-bike with a burle…

Same. I do like the flexibility but miss the "bustling office culture" as you call it. Seems like the idea for me would be some kind of hybrid where 2-3 days a week at least most c…

The same is going to happen to the (once) Great Salt Lake. It's going to be a disaster, the vast majority of the population of Utah lives along the Wasatch Front nextdoor and downw…

I have the pocket extension installed in chrome. Not so much because I actually refer back to the things I have added to it but so that when I have wayyyy too many tabs open I can …

yup. protip: Put this in your ~/.gitconfig [merge] tool = opendiff then next time you get a merge conflict, just do: `git mergetool` it will open xcode's FileMerge.app, which is th…

to me, the biggest problems with recreation.gov are: 1) the incentive to have lotteries for things (like angels landing in Zion, half dome cables in Yosemite, etc) where you have t…

I really liked this part: >You know what doesn’t need oxygen or water or food? A rock with the phrase “YOUR RIDICULOUS-SOUNDING CONTRARIAN IDEA IS WRONG” written on it. > This is a…
