Surely you can. Modern electric stovetops use infrared radiation from a wire coil to heat cookware. The stovetop is covered with a ceramic that allows infrared radiation to pass through, and if you put something on it, it’ll absorb the radiation as heat. The technology is also scalable to industrial applications.

I’ll let Brown Jacket Man explain the principle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff04ecF9Dfw

(edit) My house has an electric water heater that was built in the Soviet Union. It uses a ~200-litre tank with a large heating element inside.

1. Better insulation.
2. Heat pumps.
3. By the time gas heating is eliminated, climate change will have solved that problem.

There’s no superpower that compares to bad writing.

Riot was/is also a cesspit of sexual harrassment and discrimination, but nobody seems to remember.

Embracer is a sickness, a malignant fucking growth on gaming.

And a bitch is a female dog, I know. There’s a factor of intention, a.k.a mens rea, a.k.a guilty mind that separates right from wrong based on why a person does something. It’s this sort of inconvenient nuance that dealing with absolutes doesn’t allow.

Try telling that to a text filter or a moderator on a power trip. They won’t give a rat’s ass about “to retard” meaning “to reduce or hold back.” Even the linked article fails to make the semantic distinction when it calls for the elimination of the word.

If this comment disappears, it will have proven my point.

Tell that to anyone in the aviation industry and you’ll get a chuckle and a couple of "bless your heart"s.

If you really, really, really don’t want to buy a keyboard and monitor, you can buy a USB KVM console, but it’ll likely cost more. Something like this: https://www.startech.com/en-us/server-management/notecons01

Blender uses Alt+A.

It consistently uses Alt as a modifier to execute inverse operations. I to insert a keyframe, Alt+I to delete it. Ctrl+F to set a text filter/search, Alt+F to clear it. Ctrl+P to set parent, Alt+P to clear it. H to hide selected objects, Shift+H to hide unselected objects, Alt+H to unhide all. {G,R,S} to move/rotate/scale, Alt+{G,R,S} to reset transformations. It’s not exactly industry standard, but internally consistent that makes learning it easy.

Ctrl+D to deselect is stupid.

you’re closer to hell, it’s understandable

Oracle was one of the first companies on my personal shit-list. I feel validated.

Geoffrey is disqualified because his character is flat as a board. He was simply sadistic, evil for evil’s sake, and his only motivation was to indulge. His presence enabled more interesting characters to have a dynamic, and allowed the plot to happen by legitimizing the Lannisters’ claim to the throne, but on his own, he was a nothingburger, a one-trick pony, and an absolute tool. No offense to the actor, he did a great job, but I was glad to see the character gone.

Louise Fletcher fucking nailed her character. It’s difficult to create a villain that the audience can hate with a passion. Fletcher and Ronny Cox (Robert Kinsey from SG-1) are the best villain actors I’ve seen.

It’s gone from overt to insidious.

I’m in the same position, and it feels so damn powerful. I’ve convinced an entire university to ditch Ubuntu in favor of Linux Mint, and I’m also advocating for replacing our aging VMWare servers (with a soon-to-expire license) with Proxmox.

And the link points to a solution from 2006 using a method that’s been outdated and unsupported for a decade.

Damn, I had no idea netcat had a hardware implementation

Let’s not forget that the Apollo space program used SI units at every step, except for displaying it to the astronauts.

Sisko and Picard.
