  • Yeah, the basement is going to be colder…

    You can circulate the air if you want to balance it out, but the basement is going to get colder again.

    If you’re talking about saving energy:

    At about 3pm circulate the air. That’s a little before your AC is going to start experiencing it’s highest workload.

    At around 6pm or when ever, stop.

    Try it for a couple of days with just a fan. If it’s a noticeable difference and you like it, you can get a vent installed that pushes up from the basement, and another somewhere else that just goes straight to the basement. You can put the fan/blower on a timer. I’d recommend one of those “smart plug” things, they work as a timer and you can also controll locally from your phone.

    But if you’re circulating air 24/7, it’s just making your AC cool even more air.

    So you just want to use it to dump a bunch of cold air when you need it most, and then let it naturally cool down the rest of the nigh/day.

    Whether or not this adds up to more than negligible benefits for energy use…

    I have zero idea.

    But it’s essentially just an inefficient heat pump. The theory behind it is sound.


  • “I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department,” he admitted.

    He’s been brainwashed by his fans if he thinks that somehow makes it better.

    Like, authenticy is good for good things, but it makes shitty things even shittier. It’s not a value that’s always good in every context. And the worst thing he could be doing is doubling down on his opinions and policy.

    If he left the company is the only way this would help, he wouldn’t even be a fall guy because most of this is entirely his fault

    Yeah, dude tried to open his own personal Netflix and is surprised it got taken down.

    From post history he managed to keep it up for less than a month.

    I’m betting by “friends” he meant either online friends he’s never met, or people he wanted to impress.

    So they gave zero fucks and handed it out to more people. Like, just the idea that you’re giving it to so many people that you actually buy a domain?

    There’s a reason everyone isn’t already doing it already.


  • They don’t have a real job…

    According to the disclosures, the terminated employees worked in Wells Fargo’s wealth- and investment-management unit.

    Time and time again, these funds don’t really beat the average of an index fund.

    But the Uber wealthy dont like being lumped together with regular people. So they pay commissions to get the same performance, resulting in less profits than an ind x when it’s all said and done.

    But the company points to the small parts that do over perform, and downplays the bad parts.

    Turn 1 million into 5 million, and it’s easy to forget there was another 10 million that’s worth 6 million now.

    Sure you up a million, but you’re focused on that 5x gain and not the 4 million loss. So before commissions it’s a draw.

    In real life there’s interest, inflation, and lots of other stuff that muddies the waters.

    It’s like their version of horse racing, they bet on a bunch and hope one hits it big and pays off the losses on the others. It’s the same as gambling and just as addictive.

    So if these employees were answering their phone when a big client calls and letting stuff sit, their performance was probably fine.

    Because it’s not a real job.


  • To be clear this isn’t official results, this is what musk is projecting.

    But the only think the big holders care about is their return rates. And they know Tesla is waaaaaaay overvalued. It’s all based on hype.

    So would Tesla be a better company free of musk?

    Undoubtedly.

    But they don’t care about that. Musk hype drove the stock price up, no real company would be so overvalued. Without continued hype, the price goes down, which might cause a run on the stock and might end the company.

    musk is Tesla. And it’s why the company will be nothing but hype. Doesn’t matter if the company loses money as long as stock price keeps going up.

    Making quality vehicles isnt their business model, it’s keeping the stock price up.




  • The mom leaves them alone for like 12-18 hours a day, but it will come back.

    Too many people think if it’s alone for an hour it needs saved.

    The mom leaves the fawns alone for so long, because if they’re walking around they’re a liability. It won’t be up and moving till it’s off milk and learning to forage.



  • You should read the sidebar’s at least, they’re heavily biased, but upfront about it.

    It’s been their safe space longer than most other instances have been around. It’s also a good idea to look at modlogs when coming across a new sub/instance.

    Not everything shows up there though. Like if someone is banned and has all their content removed, it won’t all show up in the log. But when individual comments are removed, it’ll show you what was said.

    Don’t just assume everyone online will be upfront about their biases



  • Where has LW announced that they would be defederating?

    People kept saying it one of the recent daily threads people have been making.

    Which is what they are trying to achieve by promoting those communities in this post?

    You think posting repetitively here is the same as:

    If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

    How does that make sense?

    But if you want to move discussion off their communities make posts in those alternatives. That would actually do something.

    These posts are Susan G Kommen levels of difference making…


  • We getting one of these a day now?

    If you don’t like it, petition your admins (via posts on your own instance) to defed.

    If they don’t want to, find a new instance that does, or stay and block their instance so you don’t see their subs.

    If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

    I just don’t see the point of these posts when most Lemmy users have been around for a while and know what lemmy.ml is like by now.

    Be the change you want to see, post in those communities yourself instead of these daily announcements threads on an instance that’s already defederating apparently
