I was watching an episode of QI once, and one of the panelists was talking about a phrase in Greek that literally translates to, “There is trouble in the Gypsy village,” and is apparently used to indicate something like, “Who gives a shit?” Idioms are a very interesting part of language.

My thermostat automatically drops to 65F/18C at 8PM.

If OP’s plan is similar to mine, there are three pricing periods during the day: standard rate charged in the morning/early afternoon, highest rate charged during peak hours of the afternoon, and then a discounted rate charged in the evening/night.

The idea is to encourage people to do energy intensive tasks like running dishwashers and laundry at night when the demand on the grid is lowest.

ETA: Sorry, to actually answer your question, yes you could blast the AC early in the day to “pre-cool” for the peak hours. My ecobee is linked with my utility account to sync with the different pricing periods and does exactly that.

It didn’t get sorta fixed, the few results that currently show up are just cached results from Cloudflare. The metadata server also didn’t crap out; MusicBrainz made breaking changes to their API.

From the latest updates in the Discord, most of the rebuild work is done. The devs now just need to find the time to get it spun up and working for users - I think one of them is currently in the middle of a move if I read correctly, so it’s just a matter of patience right now.

Because one of the main issues is they also don’t have anyone maintaining the project. There’s no one to make the config change.

Oh, I wasn’t bitching at you or anything.

If you’re actually curious, the funky letters are the upper- and lowercase of the Old/Middle English letter Eth that represents the “th” sound.

Why anyone would use it today? Maybe they think it’s “quirky”?

To get you to engage with questions like that. Just ignore it.

In 50 years or so it’ll all be underwater anyway, and tourists won’t be a problem at all!

Aren’t most cell tower functions just backhauled to the Internet these days, anyway?

You watched Kaos, too? I love Jeff Goldblum.

Oh dear gods, not again!

I deleted my Reddit account and switched to Lemmy after the API stuff. I kinda regret deleting my account because it wasn’t until after that I learned about the apps that would scrub your comment history, but Reddit has a tendency to roll those back anyway.

I still sometimes end up on a Reddit thread when searching for some technical issue, but I generally try to browse other forums for solutions first if possible.

ETA: all other social media stuff like Instagram and Facebook I deleted around the time of Trump’s first election. Just got sick of the constant stream of bullshit.
