  • What does that mean “refrigeration tech […] energy hungry”? The technical appilcation of the Carnot-Cycle is as close to maximum mathematical efficiency as we can get. Sure, it’s far from 100% efficient but we’re actively going against entropy here. In the end it all comes down to thermal isolation and losses. Even cheap fridges from the past 20 years take like 100 Watts once they’ve reached their target temperature. That’s only a bit more than a laptop and a bit less than a desktop computer on idle. AC-Units take a lot more but we already have a 100% efficency solution, it called “not bitching about the heat”.








  • From my experience life is a ball rolling down a hill. It never gets higher than the day before and if it hits the bottom you die.

    Your birth decides the starting height and your effort decides the slope.

    I started somewhere in the lower middle and put zero effort into life. Now I’m not even half way past others but I’m already near the bottom.

    Let’s say I’m not exactly expecting a natural end to my life at this stage.







  • You’re not getting burned alive but its hot enough that you’re constantly sweaty.

    The demons don’t actively torture you but they are going to jump you when you turn the wrong corner.

    You’re not there for eternity, it’s just really difficult to leave.

    You don’t eternally burn in the flames to atone for your sins, but you have to work to pay them of.

    Shit I think I just described San Francisco.
