@ljrk oof, ok. For me it takes 2.5-3 minutes to do a lesson, and the bonuses eventually expire unless I keep throwing gems at that owl, so i can't be bothered to do over 30 min, which usually is around 1000XP.

Who are these people who get 4,000 XP a day in Duolingo? That's, like, 2 hours a day even at at 3x bonus. 😱

I'm listening to "Hail Mary" and it's such an Obama era book, all the on-Earth bits make me cringe (or laugh).

My other idea is using insulated tanks of distilled water buried in the ground for residential peak shaving. Overnight, the water is heated to 90°C using cheap excess capacity. During the morning peak, the heat pump uses it as a source of readily available heat for central heating. You can even have a fully mechanical heat pump "trickle-heating" the water during the night from a small wind turbine, since you just need to run the compressor and move the liquids around. There should be enough wind to heat up a tank of water even with a small backyard turbine.

I'm a complete dilettante in this, so I'm probably missing 99 reasons why this would be a lot more difficult.

@ironiridis okay, but that's cooling, which heats up the water. What about heating, which, in theory, cools the water down (not even sure how perceptibly).

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?
