the thing that’s both and about home heating systems is that the heat and/or cooling only works in 2 degrees increments

kmmfoo OP ,
@kmmfoo@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

if you set heat to 68 it will let the temp fall to 67 before it heats you to 69; if you set cool to 72 it will let the temp rise to 73 before it kicks in and cools you to 71.

this is a weird thought in 2024, considering that i left college in 1974 (50 years ago) but, afaik, my grandfather gave me a $5,000 insurance policy to offset my college costs, and i have no idea whether that money was ever released.

how would someone check something like that?

also: how many minutes of college would $5,000 cover these days?

also: assuming i gave money for my grandchildren to attend college, what’s your sense about how much that would help?

not a lot, I’m guessing.

@Toastie WOW! That’s amazing.

People of Irish heritage who emigrated to America and took part in the colonizing should probably take no solace from it, but still: it is amazing.

The descendants of the people who stayed in Ireland through and after the famine should feel honored to have such benefactors.

January 17, 1893 - Queen Liliuokalani of the independent kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown as she was arrested at gunpoint by U.S. Marines.

American businessmen, particularly sugar plantation owners, led by Lorrin Thurston, had supported annexation of the islands to the United States. The Queen had been working on a new constitution that would restore voting rights to native Hawaiians.

"The fediverse isn't profitable"

Actually, the fediverse is a great place for artists and creators to find support for work they are passionate about and pour their soul into. It's just not profitable for multi-million dollar corporations that want to fill the pockets of already far too wealthy execs.
