It makes me feel a little better about myself seeing the New York Times communication department make a typo in a post

Tends to get truculent about movies, music, the Oxford comma, and politics

I wonder if that’s due to the body distorting
They only owned up after lying and obfuscating for years. California said they work with manufacturers when they are out of compliance, but brought their lawsuit because VW wouldn’t cooperate
That’s what I meant, the device is directly next to the heat source. It’s never going to be accurate. And you can tell in the way people use the two systems. In Germany, people don’t think about our check the temperature of the room or what the dial is set at, just, I’m cold, turn it up. In the US, the room is set to a specific temperature and just left alone except for day/night, home/away.
But, anyway, the comment was about how they wouldn’t work for Nest, and that’s true. You’d need a third party solution. It would be hard to sell these and then say, hey, by the way, you can’t use it until you go out and buy something from someone else and install it
I haven’t been in many private houses in the Netherlands. I could only speak to Germany
Yes, but they are not electronic and they don’t reflect the temperature of the room like a wall thermostat does.
TBF, over 15* in Germany I’ve only seen a couple of actual thermostats. The vast, vast majority use a valve on each radiator. There are electronic solutions for the radiators, but sticking a Nest on the wall is going to do nothing for someone unless the customer installs specific hardware that the Nest would have to support
*edit : years
This was more a stunt because France is demanding Google pay to link to news sites. It’s the opposite of whether search engines should be required to list them
Since you have completely hijacked this from talking about the Gulf, as I said, call it what you want. I’ll probably continue to call it Denali, because it’s just a name.
You conflate not agreeing with not reading, because if someone reads your posts, they have to agree, right? So if someone doesn’t agree, it simply means they didn’t read your post.
If names mean so much, what about naming things after slave owners? Tell me how many slaves were at Mt Vernon? History has very few perfect saints.
But back to the Gulf. It’s just not worth it. Call it what you want. It’ll revert one way or another eventually
Whatever. Enjoy your rant. It’s going to be a fun four years for you
I’m not ignoring it. I’m saying it’s just a name. I will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico for the rest of my life, or probably just “the Gulf”. I never used another term for French fries, # is still a pound sign, and I’m not going to worry about this.
And I’m saying it’s just a name. Call it whatever you want. He means it as a distraction. There’s more important things
I’m telling you this is what he wants: people to get all worked up and virtue signaling for MAGA
No one can own the Gulf anyway. Trump just wanted to stir shit up and people like you getting all bent out of shape are just playing into it. It’s just a name

Mexico didn’t own it before any more than the US owns it now. I don’t like the nationalistic intentions, but I can rationalize it to myself that Mexico is also part of [North] America
Is there Google maps in China? If there is, I’d be surprised if it didn’t say that. That is claiming ownership. Countries can’t own a gulf beyond the domestic waters convention. But, I don’t know, that’s a good question because a regular Chinese person would just be confused. It wouldn’t effect any policy change
I’m positive that exact thing happened. I’m sure those were not the common names throughout history. At some point, people named things from their perspective iegardless of what others, including those living adjacent to the thing called it. I’ll give you the nationalistic part; that’s the stupid part, but it’s not uncommon to have a name from a different perspective
Using nfs on ext4 file systems, I’ve always just added them to fstab and it works just like that
