| Quote (Disasterpiece) Thanks for making me feel ridiculously stupid.
You're welcome- now stay off my land squatters! I've got a whole ship just made of photon torpedos! Okay, I'm kidding, they are really just gigaton fusion bombs. I've also got a centillion ton fusion bomb in the works. I'm using von-neumann machines to collect all the matter I can in the universe on the assumption that it's infinite and oh crap! I mean I've got a really nice bow and arrow.

| I log stuff. Here's something interesting, though not totally surprising:
This is the relationship between the outdoor temperature and power consumption (W) in our house (30 day moving average). It's a tight correlation. Very tight.
The voltage in the wall should be 230V, but when there's a high demand for electricity, it drops. Here's the correlation between the outdoor temperature and voltage delivered to our house (weekly average). It's not just us:
We use around 25,000 kWh a year. An increase in temperature of 1 °C translates into 130W more power or 1140 kWh saved a year. Likewise, a decrease in temperature of 1 °C costs us 1140 kWh a year.

| Nearly got a heart attack playing minecraft. I have flans mod, so nights are basically just doing whatever you want to do and blowing away the mobs... But endermen dodge bullets and kill pretty fast. I lived though, I found a village and hid in the back of the church.

| (From the comets thread)
Quote (HarbingerDawn) Well in Sept 1993 I was 3 years old, so obviously not old enough to be online (or even know what teh interwebs wur).
It must have been cool anyway to grow up with the web. I wish it was around when I grew up, along with powerful computers, GPL software, etc. I did get a computer when I was 7 or so (the Commodore Vic-20, the predecessor of the enormously successful 64). Before that the closest things to computers that I played with were punch cards that my dad brought from work...
My kids wont remember the world without smartphones, tablets, etc. My youngest didn't understand until she was 1½ or so that nothing will happen when you tap pictures in books. It's been interesting to see how a 1 year old has been able to figure out menus, buttons, games and YouTube on phones and tablets. I guess it's the ultimate test for how intuitive the UI is.

It was pretty cool, though I wish it had been then what it is today. Wikipedia would have been awesome back then. Instead I had to rely on incomplete and outdated astronomy books to learn anything. I love books, but I don't miss those. Having access to the sum total of human knowledge directly from your home is a phenomenal thing, and might qualify as the greatest innovation in the history of our civilization.

Yes, we know. Everybody who tried to post on the forum at that time knows. Clearly the problem is fixed now so let's move on.
