  • You’ll find that “student accomodations” are probably the biggest scams in the UK. A lot of Indian-origin residents/citizens esp. the first-generation, they have the same “Indian” mentality. You’ll find that the 2nd-gen children of these people are more “British” and less “Indian” mindset.

    Case in point, the elderly property owner does less than the “minimum” maintenance, charges crazy rent-prices, re-arranges rooms to fit the maximum occupants, almost regular issues like heating, plumbing, mold, etc completely ignored. While suddenly announcing that rent is increasing by 20% “due to inflation, or needed for maintenance” … don’t pay? get out and your deposit is forfeit. Ever showered in cold water during the entire February in the UK ?

    You will find that the 2nd-gen children if they find out the elder is doing this, will immediately rectify the situation and probably takeover if they can. Else you are outta luck and on your bum in the middle of winter which no one will want to be.






  • Farting does expel some amount of body heat.

    Im sure long-distance runners might relieve themselves without stopping, as it cools them down while also a release and embarrassment which might spur their brain into flight response.

    I doubt if the heat loss is significant but when actively working out or doing intense work the mind might get tricked into thinking that it benefitted.

    Anecdotally when running a fever it does feel better emptying out. So not sure if physiological or psychological effect.









  • I can tell you for a fact, in 1999, we were running Windows3.11 and MSDOS 5.x on a brand-new Pentium II ? or something like that, because the DSP-board and daughter-card system didn’t like Win2k. We were all on the network. Everyone ran Win2k Pro while loading the test codes via network / SMB/CIFs share to that machine.

    Same could be done using Linux on all those systems except for the test rig.

    NO YOU DO NOT have to use Windows on your desktop just for your toolchain. Put that shit on a separate test-rig and isolate it.

    Best Practices and Good Standard procedures makes it possible to use Linux on the Desktop.

    It is a matter of ability and talent to do things properly using the best tools at any given time.



  • India is a very corrupt democracy. As an Indian, I can tell you that sports are inherently corrupted to the degree in which money flows into it. For example, cricket is a sport rife with corruption to the point that the entire world cricket organizations and matches and tournaments are all suspect due to the heavy involvement of Indian corruption spreading its vile degenerate fingers into everything cricketing worldwide.

    The only way you can trust anything here is if there is an independent individual measuring system that is completely corruption immune and resistant to external influences.

    For example, physics, chemistry or scientific measurements. If a boxer is doping or throwing their fights etc. You can measure for those.



  • Controlling Fossil Fuel prices can prevent other private entities from driving up inflation of commodities. It doesn’t have to be permanent, you could effect a set goal for 6 years, evaluate the results every 6 weeks, and tweak the pricing to prevent inflation/deflation cycles.

    While you control the transport costs, you can now plan on how much energy it is consuming to do the logistics. Even setup renewables for the remote regions with medium to large capacity backups ( not just chemical batteries, but pumped storage and other practical solutions ).

    You could increase the buffer between different urban zones, commercial, industrial, heavy commercial, dense residential, suburbian.

    • Energy storage densities.
    • Vehicular traffic densities.
    • Public transport frequencies.
    • Private traffic exemption zones.
    • Cycling/Pedestrian infrastructure.
    • Rent-controlled segmentation.
    • Recreational facilities , maintenance and usage.

    All of these things can be measured, calculated, even funded by simply controlling the Fossil-fuel prices.

    Imagine 10 or 20 stadiums with Extra-Large battery backups, only on game-nights the full bank would see utilization, rest of the time, half or even quarter of the load can be saved up for fluctuations. In emergencies the stadium provides power, safety, shelter and communal support.

    So many things can be planned around transportation and logistics. Fossil-fuel literally drives a lot of the traffic. Measure, calculate and control that and you have a reliable method to make sensible common sense decisions. Transparent for all citizens to see the data and the correlation. Accountable for every cent.
