- roterBrowsing is slow. Can browse folders but can't open individual files. Pink unicorns with fiery manes.
- Hitting the "I'd Buy" button gets me "Your bank account is filing a restraining order". Lovely.
- Isn't the main reason because you're not eating?
- The whispey ones are largely transparent to incoming shortwave radiation but largely opaque to outgoing longwave radiation. You just need to put on your ~10 micron wavelength goggles.
- The pros for heat pumps are numerous. There is the issue of resilience to extreme weather. ASHRAE is funding a project, just getting underway, to create a map, first of the USA but anticipated to be expanded to worldwide, of heat pump resilience in the face of an expected change in the frequency of extreme events. Those wanting to learn more:

- And I went straight to storing large numerical arrays, i.e. replacement for Zarr, NetCDF, HDF, etc
- There is also the theory that the British just had more practice at gunnery and sailhandling while blockading the French/Spanish in the various ports.
- Clouds have two main impacts: reflect incoming, shortwave radiation back to space and absorb (and re-radiation up and down) outgoing, longwave radiation from the surface. The interplay and relative proportion between these two impacts has long been a challenge and depends upon the cloud altitude (low/high), composition (water,ice), and optical depth.
- Units provided were power not energy. The number provided is just the product of the solar constant and the cross-sectional area of Earth [0], roughly.

- I always found this 2/3rds statistic hard to believe but it counts all coastlines as a border zone [0].
As a Canadian, I'm more concerned with the vast percentage of us who live within 100 miles of the US border.
- Very interesting and promising package.
I especially like that there is a PyQt interface which might provide an alternative to another great package: pyqtgraph[0].
- One of his (Sir Terry) sources for inspiration was Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable [0]. Indeed he wrote a foreword for one of them.

- When running Orbit on the comments in this page:
> The Orbit add-on by Mozilla is a new AI-powered tool that summarizes and answers queries about web content, including articles and videos. It uses a Mistral LLM (Mistral 7B) hosted on Mozilla's GCP instance. The add-on is free to use and works on various websites, including Gmail, Wikipedia, NY Times, YouTube, and more. However, some users have raised concerns about the size of the model and its privacy implications, as well as the fact that it requires an internet connection to function. Additionally, some users have suggested that Mozilla should focus on improving the browser itself rather than developing new add-ons.

- There is support for the OP's statement, in the case of Celsius at least [0], emphasis mine:
> Because of this dual usage, one must not rely upon the unit name or its symbol to denote that a quantity is a temperature interval; it must be unambiguous through context or explicit statement that the quantity is an interval. This is sometimes solved by using the symbol °C (pronounced "degrees Celsius") for a temperature, and C° (pronounced "Celsius degrees") for a temperature interval, although this usage is non-standard. Another way to express the same is "40 °C ± 3 K", which can be commonly found in literature.

- I remember having more luck at Bakka Books back in the 80s when it was on Queen St. Looks like it still exists in perhaps a reduced form [0].
