The zsh docs are good for the zsh specific expansions, but more man page than cheatsheet, though they do have an intro doc on it that's more cheatsheet like but less complete.
Well, used to be. As I understand it newer laptops are more and more often using pouch style batteries to keep things thinner by using any available space.
Huh, I always assumed it was due to minimum temp laws, where it was cheaper to just heat everything full blast and never have to worry about a 1st floor or basement apartment not getting enough heat, and cheaper than installing valves or thermostats in every unit.
Every apartment I've lived in around NY and North NJ was like this. All had steam radiator heaters, and the heating was so hot, especially in the fall and spring, that you controlled the temp by opening or closing the window over the radiator. All but one also had single pipe radiators[0], so you couldn't turn them down with the valve or you'd end up filling the radiator with water and breaking the system.
However parts of NYC do still have steam heating powered by a central plant (mostly ConEd iirc) so in the end it might actually end up more efficient with the windows open than having a per unit heater.
I guess it's just Manhattan that has central steam, but it also provides cooling via absorption chillers and steam for disinfection. Also much of this steam is basically a waste product of electricity generation, so the actual efficiency may be even higher.
Edit 2: I also found and article in NY Times that supports the spanish flu as the reason for this, and also describes 1 vs 2 pipe systems.
Overprovisioning to ensure demand is met in the worst case also sounds like a very early-20th-century sort of design decision; that could be part of it!
"engineering manuals from the 1920s dictated that radiators and boilers be manufactured large enough for 'the coldest day of the year, with the wind blowing, and the windows open.'" (!)
To add another data point, I got into hydroponics and indoor gardening since I was sitting at home all day, and I guess a lot of other people did too. Everything is sold out everywhere. Seeds, nutrients, even just potting soil is harder to come by. I tried to order some seed potatoes last week to try a hydroponic grow of them and almost every supplier is completely sold out. I found one seller that had 2/100 of their products in stock, but won't ship until mid-August.
Yeah. Another point: my wife fosters kittens for the local animal shelter and almost all of the shelters are just straight up out of adoptable animals. Everyone is getting pets now.
Connecticut and Rhode Island are also part of New England. Really the tristate area is what people mean when they say New England or the North East in regards to covid. I definitely wouldn't classify NY or NJ as mid-atlantic though, it's really Maryland to the Carolines imo.
> Really the tristate area is what people mean when they say New England
Maybe they should be more careful with their choice of name, New England has been used for over 400 years to refer to something that definitely doesn’t include Manhattan or New Jersey.
Yeah, I agree it's technically not correct, but in the context of coronavirus specifically, much like COVID-19 is the disease and SARS-CoV-2 is the virus, but everyone calls it COVID, that's what people are referring to in my experience.
In other contexts New England is usually used correctly, though I have seen people include NY and/or the original 13 colonies as "New England"
That said I didn't know about the mid-atlantic administrative region, thanks for that info. It seems really weird to call NY, which borders Canada, mid-atlantic and have it stop at the south of NJ, especially when east north central goes further south. South atlantic looks about 2-3x bigger than mid and definitely goes way past the north-south halfway point of the east coast.
