A serious question for those of you who know these things better than me. With so many cities built on riverbanks, why aren't we using the rivers with heat pumps for both heating and cooling? There's a lot of heat trapped in water compared to air, so it should be super economical to build a heat pump and run a central heating system that will more than pay for itself over just a few years. Similarly, in the summer it can be reversed to do cooling for AC instead.

@Conan_Kudo I remember using KDE in 1998. I wonder if it's any different today... ;)

@major Reminds me of this misspelled detour sign, which mysteriously gained an extra "B" a few days later.

Oh, no. The word "fan" is actually just short for "fancier."

Are you a sports fancier?

@yura the apex domain should be a A/AAAA record and not a CNAME, so depending on the CDN configuration, it is often easier to have a small redirector service running on the apex domain that then redirects to the www subdomain that is the CNAME of the CDN.

1000 days since the Russian army invaded Ukraine, destroying its cities and murdering civilians, all because Putin needed a "quick victorious war" to remain in power.

I will never forget, and I will never forgive.

I just found out that "scout" in Norsk is "speider," so I'm officially a Speider Mann.

@jk @ljs There used to be lots of "French" in the kernel source, but it was purged. :)

@ljs the fact that the kernel has both the British and American spellings equally accepted suggests that the kernel is actually Canadian.
