I give todays Turdle 1 for difficulty.

Looked like a two to me.

I heard CO2 is a gas with a powerful green house effect. What happens at the end of life of these units I wonder? What if they leak and it gets into the atmosphere!

So, in the US, for instance, the average person leads to the emission of 16 tonnes of co2 per year. The amount of co2 in your domestic heat pump (which… doesn’t weigh multiple tonnes) is more or less immaterial, even if it does leak.

Compared to other refrigerants it's a paradise:

CO2 has a surprisingly feeble greenhouse effect.

Almost anything else you could use as a refrigerant is worse.

Even water vapour is a worse greenhouse gas.

Edit: wait, have I been whooshed? Apologies if so... ;-)


Maybe but at this point I no longer think it's fair to be quite this dry on something that quite so many people would be legitimately sincere about anyway so I wouldn't exactly apologize for being the victim.

Yeah, but I'm from the UK so I should be able to detect dry humour. It's something that Americans don't really get.

You know, like affordable healthcare.


I apologise, I am at the dry humour stage of climate grief.

I was waiting for it to .. say usage limit reached after reverting it back to how you started..

It reaches the usage limit after adding a cookie banner above the button

Planet-scale nude-selfie extenuation racket?

Or it actually entrenches hierarchies.. and it's just that so many CS majors got caught up in the discursive pleasure of poopooing social sciences that they don't actually have a good graspe on how power operates in society..

Immediately and coarsely calling into question the intelligence of any-one who questions the corruption, seems to be par-for-the-course for these anti-socialites.

Is anyone keeping track of these .. second order effects.. of the proliferation of agents? Like this, or oss projects getting 10s of 000s of bug report, or the Linux kernel site getting ddosed by crawlers..

this is not memorable.. It could use another pass to handle repeatings words like K8s, or .. some set rhythm patters that help you chunk and remember the overall count .. Baba-BAba-baba, Baba-BAba-baba or something ..

They didn't mention Mnemonic major system in the prior, art.


How do you usually remember uuids or hashes if you have to?

Many people basically just read the start and the end and compare that, given the huge collision space.

I find 51ac0759fc4d far less memorable than kalo-tadu-komu-tigi. Also if I had to tell one of those over the telephone to my parents and my life depended on it I would choose the latter.


> Also if I had to tell one of those over the telephone to my parents and my life depended on it I would choose the latter.

Why not adopt the crypto (as in coins) seed thing with random words? Those are much more human readable, imo than "bubu bibi baba".


Because my parents do not speak English and these solutions have no localizaction usually. Bubu baba may be sound stupid, but I am confident a German parent or an Italian friend would understand it better than an assortment of complicated English words they don't know the meaning of and where the writing is unclear.

Additionally there is an effective mnemonic technique thst turns text into a melody that is sung (hence the name probably). This works better with "baba bubo kali meta" than with "atrocious limestone".


It’s 2011, you’re laying awake after midnight and can’t quite seem to switch off. You put on the latest episode of DFTalk and listen to Toadie1 and Rainseeker talking about their road map for the magic release but first they’ll have to do night creatures and armies and a completely redo the whole world gen, and you gently fall asleep to Tarn’s classic guitar melody.

You made me feel good, looks like we shared those moments. Have a hugh and a beer mate.

That guitar stays with you. I haven't played DF in forever but I can still conjure up lengthy chunks of it from memory.

Like Matt Uelmen's work in Diablo and Diablo 2... I haven't played the original in probably 25 years and I can still hear the Tristram soundtrack

I cant wait for Kruggsmash to do a couple videos using this magic system.

If they set up the box, then they provided a surprising array of paper types and pens for people to write on and submit..
