Weight is not a factor for home energy storage, there is no need for lithium cells.

That depends on your living situation. I live in a third-floor apartment, so weight is very definitely a factor.

> That said, I thought that the rule in the UK was generally that the loser pays the winners costs

That’s generally true… but only happens after those costs have been incurred and probably paid.

There’s no guarantee the party suing will be able to cover their own costs and the defendant’s costs. That leaves OP on the hook for defence costs with the hope that they might get them back after a successful and likely expensive defence.

In that situation, I can understand why OP wouldn’t want to take the risk.

New comment by tinbucket in "How I survived a year in ‘the hole’ without losing my mind"

tinbucket — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 18:34:02 +0000

It’s great for you that you can move on so quickly, but I think it’s a mistake to assume others can or should. Your experience is not the same as others, and your situation isn’t either.

In my case, I have pets and a young child living with me. The dogs may get over the violated sense of safety quite easily, but my little girl likely wouldn’t. It’s imperative to her healthy development that I be able to provide her a safe, secure place to live that also feels safe and secure.

Call me selfish but that overrides my concerns for the chaotic state of other peoples’ lives: their problems do not entitle them to harm my family.

I wonder why they’re using Gateron switches rather than Cherry ones? Is it just about cutting costs, or is there a solid technical reason for using clones rather than the originals?

New comment by tinbucket in "How to Load Fonts in a Way That Fights FOUT and Makes Lighthouse Happy"

tinbucket — Fri, 27 Nov 2020 04:21:40 +0000

Can you explain a bit more about what you mean by “way more nuanced conditions about what exact font to load”? I’ve tried both approaches recently and found using Google to be quicker and less work, but didn’t find it more nuanced or specific. What have I missed?

Quite the contrary. I work in a call centre and we’re intensely stressed by the constant, microscopic surveillance. Everything is watched and logged and can be used against you, and the targets they measure you against creep ever higher.
