How many "magnets how do they work" memes/jokes do you hear on a monthly basis?
peterpost2··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
It has nothing to do with air tightness.

If it leaks slightly it could keep the gas/air at an explosive ratio within the box.

Best to just have it vent out into the room. then it's noticeable.

peterpost2··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
You need a vent there as well so gas can't build up.
peterpost2··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
There is a requirement for having a vents if you are boxing in that device.

One high and one low one, this is so the gas does not build up in case of a leak.

Would highly suggest you get that sorted, your insurance might be void in case you do get a fire.

peterpost2··on Wind and solar overtake fossil fuels in Germany for the first time
Sorry but I feel like someone should tell you this: you sound completely perpetually online.

Please go touch some grass and I mean that in the friendliest way possible.

peterpost2··on Wind and solar overtake fossil fuels in Germany for the first time
Same applies to you too.

I actually was curious about his reasoning though.

Explain your thought process please.
peterpost2··on Building Gin: Simple over Easy
I'm not sure if I could use a framework that shares the name with an alcoholic drink in a professional setting.

Plenty of people who struggle with alcohol and who would benefit of not being reminded of it at work too.

peterpost2··on What British people mean when they say 'sorry'
Glaswegian here, I would use sorry as an "can I get past" also.

I had not heard of Agda before, I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

Anything written by John Hughes is worth a read. He also also wrote quickcheck.

That is one good-looking website.

Seems like the live demo website is about to die though.

PL/SQL developer is the worst one I've ever used.
peterpost2··on Microsoft doubles down on small modular reactors and fusion energy
That is largely due to the war in Ukraine and Russian gas/oil being a big no-no in Europe right now.

Continuing to burn fossil fuel is simply not an option. Not if we want to comfortable keep living on this planet.

peterpost2··on Microsoft doubles down on small modular reactors and fusion energy
This is a very uneducated take. Wind absolutely makes sense in plenty of locations.

I myself am located on the west coast of Scotland and we get most of our energy from wind. Solar panels make much less sense here we tend to get much less light than most places in the world.

peterpost2··on Six months into tariffs, businesses have no idea how to price anything
If those things are true they all are seen small peanuts compared to the police state that is being developed in the U.S. with masked men pulling brown people of the street without identifying themselves and without due process.

Get your priorities straight.

To quote Niemöller:

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
