I really don't see the problem at all. Solar energy is plentiful when you need airconditioning, so you can simply power the compressor using solar power.

And it is very rare when they actually can, most times they try or are given the chance to it fails. Almost nothing is as easy as it seems from the outside, and giving a critique is a lot easier than executing.

In an alternative world where Bitcoin crashed and burned after it was launched but before you decided to invest you would feel that much smarter!

It's all very easy in hindsight, the trouble is to predict it accurately. A better way to look at this is to say that some people got lucky and some didn't.

You should stay away from casinos. Gamblers tend to follow this pattern, they are ahead in between but they always lose it all in the end, they just don't know when to walk away.

A good starterpoint would be any old 8 bit machine with bitmapped memory and a copy of Newman and Sproull.

This thread is quite interesting, if the universe is that simple does that imply a complex runtime? Because DC itself should probably be taken as part of the universe here as well as the OS and the hardware it all runs on.

So then the question becomes what is the absolute minimal hardware and software configuration that you could use to generate a mandelbrot?

Hackintoshes did not necessarily steal MacOS, you could buy legit copies of MacOS.

I totally overlooked how busy one 'quiet' road is because I viewed my current house on a Sunday. Big disappointment, nice garden but effectively it is unusable. Much good luck on your quest for quiet! I really sympathize.

Can it be timed to cut off the sound after some pre-set time has passed?

I love Soil Festivities, still decades after hearing it for the first time. Amazing album. Not to diminish his other work, but that one really stands out for me.

Also, if you don't know about it yet, check out his collaborations with Jon Anderson, as Jon & Vangelis, two awesome musicians at their peak.

What a pity...

You probably won't like this answer, but most people are lost in one way or another, they just put a brave face on it and pretend that they know what they are doing and why they are doing it. Find some older people to talk to and see how they managed getting through this phase, that will get you a lot further than talking to peers or younger people.
