TIL that undefeated heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano’s punch was tested by Boxing Illustrated in 1963, and found to have more explosive energy than an armour piercing bullet.
  • This was a really interesting bio on him, never knew of him before but what a really unique and amazing person. Such a shame how he died, that just seems so unfair.

  • This is really cool and interesting to see the abrupt change from cartoons to live actors. I don’t really know what that indicates but I really miss the older cartoons. I feel they had something more magical about them.

  • That person is not wrong, what are you referring to? Your left out the other half of your comment that explains anything.

  • Is my voice annoyingly high?
  • Definitely not annoying at all. Certainly on the higher pitch side but it sounds good and I would listen to an audio book with this voice.

  • The coffee table leg absolutely killed me. This is so accurate it feels like it should be in a textbook somewhere.

  • I thought the tournament coverage for this was really good. I’m not a big pioneer or standard player but the coverage was good enough for me to keep watching periodically through the weekend.

  • If you’re confident why not throw out 1M:1? I’ll take that bet with you. 100:1 sounds like you’re not that confident.

  • Heat-pump water heaters are a winner for the climate — and your wallet
  • That is very good to know about the high heat model. Thank you.

  • It's a Carrier 38MARB Performance Heat Pump, and it SAYS it's rated at 100% efficiency down to 5 deg F but I can tell you from experience that it starts buckling below freezing. I have monitored it over a whole winter season and when we hit the 20s it starts running defrost cycles every 15-20 minutes. Each cycle takes about 5-10 minutes to defrost. It's not able to keep the room warm.

    Granted, this is a 500 sq ft room with a wide opening to the next room and a 25' ceiling. I don't think it was a great use-case for heating in general. For cooling, this thing is irreplaceable. It barely breaks a sweat and uses almost no energy, while keeping the room at any low temperature I set it to. I've yet to see it have any issues cooling, even when it's 90F and humid outside.

  • Yes we actually can’t even run our heat pump mini-split below 40, it runs too many defrost cycles and can’t heat the room. We installed a wood pellet stove to use for those temps.

  • Do any modern desktop environments support a grid layout of virtual desktops?

    Greetings, I come as an Ubuntu/Unity user and what has kept me around is the wonderful support for a 3x3 virtual desktop setup and hotkeys to move around the desktops in 2d space. Does anything like this exist in any of the modern DE’s? I would love to try it out with cinnamon, plasma, gnome etc but there are so many and I only seem to find screenshots depicting linear desktops.
