I got an old laptop from my family for free and I turned it into my jellyfin server (among other home server-like duties). Power consumption is very low (7W idle, up to 28W when playing movies measured at the wall).

I'm pretty sure PH uses an algorithm for their front page so whatever type of videos you watch most will dictate what types of videos the algorithm feeds you.

I would bring back Sears. Target was very "meh" while it existed in Canada. It was just more expensive than Walmart for everything.

I'm not a plumber but that looks pretty clean! Good job. I'm hoping to upgrade to a hybrid electric water heater sometime in the future. Currently running on regular electric (boo!).

Buses are designed to carry a lot more people than the number of seat they have since they allow for standing. Adding cubes would take away that standing space.

Good idea but you lose a huge amount of capacity with the cubes. It would still be magnitudes more efficient than a car per person though.

I'm on Jerboa and it seems like it works well. What exactly is broken?

A friend's mom passed away by pancreatic cancer. It was so quick (a few months) and absolutely brutal from what I heard. Hopefully this leads to some good development for a treatment!

Could someone smart enlighten me on why cigarettes continue to be allowed to be sold if we know that it causes cancer and costs the healthcare system millions (billions?) each year? I know we can't suddenly stop production overnight but can't they gradually putting a stricter ban on it until it's almost impossible to get? Is it smokers being too addicted? Is it tobacco lobby being too strong?

Could also be the power button incorrectly thinking it's being pressed.

Awesome! Please include Canada!

I can't call myself a software developer but I did do some programming in the past and enjoyed it. I can totally understand this urge.
