  • Well. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Now your org gets to pay for cleanup if they don’t just tell the 2 that got arrested “Good luck, you’re on your own now”

    What’s the correlation with Stonehenge and the fossil fuel industry? No one visiting is going to see the vandalism and think “Maybe I should lessen my personal dependence on fossil fuels.”, they’re just going to hear how it was this asshole group that happens to be named ‘Just Stop Oil’. I highly doubt that’s changing anyone’s mind (for the better).

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for activism. Hell, I’m all for destructive activism; Block access to oil wells, sabotage infrastructure (preferably in a way that doesn’t cause more environmental damage in the process), burn down some private jets. But don’t go around being an asshole unrelated to your cause just to get your name out. That’s not helping anything.





  • Probably not exactly what you’re looking for but I use a batch file to accomplish this (in linux but windows should be similar). For example:

    #!/bin/bash sleep 2h && steam sleep 8h && killall steam

    Executing that will wait 2 hours, start steam so it can download whatever it wants while I sleep, then shut steam down 6 hours later before other people start needing to use the internet.







  • Not a professional but Ive DIYed it. So the following may be oversimplified and/or not best practice.

    You’ll need a gauge set so you can watch both the high and low side pressures. Your unit probably does not have ports to attach the gauges but they make some adapters that bolt on and pierce the lines. These work ok but will probably be another spot for leaks down the road.

    You’ll need to figure out what refrigerant your unit has in it, there’s usually a metal placard somewhere that tells you this. This is how you’ll look up where your pressures need to be.

    Finally you’ll need to source said refrigerant, which you likely cannot buy without a license or bribing someone.

    The actual charging procedure I would look around on youtube for. It may vary depending on your type of unit but it’s usually pretty straightforward.
