In which 'Winnie-the-Pooh' turns 100

- l'entrée sur le marché du travail en France se ferait à 26 ans, contre 23 en Allemagne.
- ça générerait 10 Md€
- le "tourisme universitaire" permet de faire baisse les chiffres du chômage
@juliengossa ah oui, le STO 🤪
Hey @TechConnectify I actually worked on HPWH as an R&D engineer(not AOSmith the competitor tho). Very cool to see what I worked on featured on one of my favorite YouTube channels.
I think you summed up pros and cons very well. I would add for those with "Volume anxiety" I would suggest getting a mixing valve. They can be set to like 120-130 and then you can set the actual tank to 140. This way you would create more available hot water for the cost of a little bit of efficiency.
@stefan Ik maakte me al jaren geleden zorgen over de invloed van de grote NGO's op de Klimaatcoalitie. Dus het verbaast me niks dat dit gebeurt.
@joenepraat ja, ben heel benieuwd hoe ze het nu oppikken. En ook wat bijvoorbeeld XR gaat doen als de klimaatcoalitie besluit toch de popo te faciliteren
The problem with "Tax the Rich" as a slogan is that there is *no* one who thinks it's a great idea who had never thought of it.
Here’s a convention. Stores have price stickers. E-commerce sites have prices on their listings. Software sites have a Pricing page.
But https://zeteo.uk/about doesn’t.
It has set itself up on a platform funded by the likes of Marc Andreessen, when there are many other far less compromised platforms it could have chosen.
And it says it’s helping to expose oligarchy and bring transparency and wants you to becomes a paid subscriber in that mission, but nowhere does it say what that costs 😒

What does Zen have to do with grief and constipation? Quite a lot, as it turns out.

Catima - a FOSS loyalty card and ticket wallet for Android, which isn't tied to an Apple or Google account, and doesn't share data - is superb.
When we visited a museum yesterday, I bought a ticket online first, and their ticketing system offered me a ticket for an Apple device, in .pkpass format.
I downloaded it and opened it in Catima. And it worked perfectly, scanning the QR code to get in.
Thanks @SylvieLorxu!
@neil And with the power of open source, if it ever becomes enshittified like every other loyalty card app storage / program, you can just fork it ❤️
@Grouchybeast @davidgerard That can easily happen in any kind of community. It's just that HP got big at exactly the right time in the early internet for it to get that big.
@ardaxi @Grouchybeast Yudkowsky also picked HP for HPMOR specifically because it was a large fandom to recruit from
TFW you live in Germany, forgot to pack your migraine meds, and wake up at 3am on a Sunday about to puke from pain and realizing you can’t do a thing about it because nothing is open and you can’t buy pain meds anywhere but apoteke.
