Good point, time consumed by cooking has value in itself.

And compared to dinner?

I’m asking because if I was “strapped for cash” I’d always go for cooking something rice or potato based myself, rather than buying already processed and packaged food, a most likely overpriced brand no less!

for cash-strapped families

Is Kellogg’s cereal even cheap at all?? I’m not in the US so I could only imagine but I’d guess it’s not, is it?

It’s a valid criticism, I’m just wondering where 90% of those folks criticizing were the last 10 years, when it would have also been a valid criticism against her, but only a select group of people called it out and I recall precisely zero memes on this specific topic. Curious, that this has only become a mainstream meme now that there is a defamation campaign actively being conducted against her by right wing media.

Bees can do whatever the fuck they want, they are not merely there for our desire to get plants pollinated. They just like to do it.

I’m looking at unadulterated communism here and I hate it! Remove the green and the tracks and let honest working people park their lifted F 350 to go grocery shopping and bring little Braendin to school!

That’s probably what they’re trying to do. The better their quality management is the closer to consistently packing -1.95% they’ll be.

-2% is probably allowed and this is -1.95%. It’s okay I guess. I’d probably trust my cheap, regularly used and never calibrated kitchen scale less than I would trust these companies to comply with such rules.

It isn’t just a question, it’s straight up loaded with implications, most blatant one being to specifically stress ‘adults’ twice, as if it wasn’t a question to you if it were children.

People watch people playing sports, telling jokes or funny stories, acting drama, dancing… playing games fits that list so seamlessly that I can’t help but wonder wtf is wrong with someone asking why people would do it. It’s blatantly obvious loads of people like watching something they find cool and isn’t too mentally engaging, to wind down.

My meter measures it in m³ and my supplier, knowing the exact caloric value of the product they’re selling, tells me in kWh on my bill.

edit: m³ of course not ² lol

In very cold climates, having a hybrid system like the one you’re describing is that universal no brainer in my opinion. Especially since most cold regions also typically have really long transitional periods where your heat pump is most efficient and pays itself off fastest. Combining that with turning it off during harsh winter weeks gives you the best of both worlds.

That’s a perfectly normal number for any home that isn’t very new and perfectly insulated.

My 37sqm appartment needs approximately 5000 kWh in natural gas per year, 876 kWh last December, so 28 kWh per day on average. The building is admittedly old and not perfectly insulated but it’s also not a log cabin out in the open in Finland, but instead a flat enclosed within 3 other flats in the middle of cosy, never below -8C Germany.

21 kWh in a log cabin in Finnland actually seemed pretty low to me. It’s sort of obvious OP is using a heat pump and the cabin must really be absolutely tiny.
