We DO have double pane windows. Just not in areas that have middling weather. Or construction before 1990 or so. Or in older mobile homes, which we have a lot of. And the houses with double pane windows are often poorly constructed, sometimes in the homes, sometimes in the windows, and often both.

Energy has historically been very cheap here, so efficiency has never been a priority. That is changing now.

I sure would like Newsweek to finally produce the inventor of bitcoin. They are not a legitimate news organization.

You should see the difference in available windows in the states vs Europe. Its like you are in the 23rd century and we are still in the 19th. Our boomer class raced all the way to the bottom to increase profits, so many things are just cheap plastic here. We can special order windows like you have, if you want to spend $4000 per window.

What you consider normal is exotic here.

If Ukraine wins it will become one of the strongest battle tested nations in the world. THAT will change geopolitics for decades.

Literally every school in the 70s and 80s. EVERY SCHOOL. That shit really did happen, because I got a F in PE over this exact issue.

Would you look at that, a actually functioning government!

The problem is that FB is the "core forum" for tons of niche hobbies. Irts the only reason I still have a account. They successfully killed off the old php forums.

OK, Zaphod.

Cool. Now revoke QI!
