I fucking hate English. Why does sanction mean both approve and disapprove? This title can be read in two completely opposite ways.

Oh no, taxes! What else scares you, women of the age of the majority?

If the state can incentivize charity to negate the effects of capitalist naked self interest, why can't the state just... help directly?

The highest standing jump world record looks almost exactly like a crouch jump, except they start the jump crouched, uncrouch, then end up crouched again, so I don't think it's fair to say there's no real world equivalent.

I'm not a fan of crypto but between resistive heating which gives no return, and mining heat which gives unprofitable return, it makes more sense to get your heating from mining if you already have the computer for it. The only question is whether it's financially better than a heat pump short term.

And of course this only really works for one room so it's not a complete solution.

That would be old as fucking. Fuck, the word, has been around in English for about 500 years or so. Shakespeare is old as fuck.

The electricity would be better spent on heat pumps. Computers convert 100% of their electricity into heat. Heat pumps convert 200-400% of their electricity into heat.
