modern dehumidifiers are like the old CF bulbs in that they do not last.
I was just at my parent's place and the Electrohome dehumidifier from the 1970s is still in the basement, chugging away.
It may not be as energy efficient to operate, but considering it was built once almost 4 decades ago and no one needs to buy a new one, I think overall it's ahead of the game.
It is built so sturdily I can easily sit on it, and the cooling coils are so thick and stiff I can't move them easily.
Contrast this to the modern one I have in my house, the housing appears to be made from old pie plates and the cooling coil is so flimsy it shakes back and forth just from wiggling the unit.
"Accelerating over a large distance and suddenly stopping is how hammers break stuff."
Actually, it's just a practical way to exert a lot of force. A hydraulic press exerting the same force that builds up over weeks will break stuff just the same. The suddenly stopping has nothing to do with it. A common misconception. Neither does accelerating over a large distance. How would the material know what the hammer was doing before? Or whether it was accelerating or just moving by a constant velocity?
I hung in there with HiMD but after a while Sonic Stage just became stale; the future was clearly MP3 on flash memory. I do miss the long playing times, simple interface, and good sound quality. Even my MZ-1 was able to drive full size cans to nearly hearing-damage levels.
Absent safe and affordable self-driving cars that can handle senile users (rambling, contradictions, references to old landmarks, etc.), we have to find a way to transition old drivers in every country.
My Dad was stubbornly holding on to driving despite failing vision and increased confusion, the police stopped him driving down the highway the wrong way. Nothing happened, but the next day, they suspended his license.
There should be a better way than waiting for "driving in the wrong lane", for example.
How old are you? Do you own or rent? What parts of it are fantastic that you think don't exist anywhere else? What is shitty about Toronto? What does Montreal being cheap have to do with not finding properly paid jobs?
It's difficult for people to understand that we are taxed like a socialist country but get services like a capitalist country. The corporate takeover of our government is slowly but surely happening, one step at a time.

I haven't lived anywhere else in Canada, so I don't know.
"After all, tech is a highly mobile job."
It sure is, and from the employer's point of view this is great advantage, whereas as the employee, you have to physically move...
You must be young because selling a house and moving a family is not trivial. What do you do once you're in SV and somehow something better pops up yet somewhere else?

it doesn't work.
Scale? On a dehumidifier? What kind of air do you breathe? Are you a Horta?

Also creates jobs in a system where every human need is already addressed but the social model is "work work work work".
Water is frozen at -20 C? Yes? Is it also frozen at -18 C? Yes? But it's warmer.
Can't believe this is so little known.

Glad to help.
Like I said, a common misconception.

The one I got has a silicone rubber inner lining. I was too lazy before to find the specific case... This is the one I got.
"Hydrogen"??? People still cling to that debunked nonsense?
Like this for example. There are others with a 17mm mount over the camera so you can screw on lenses like this.
Point to your analysis and your methodology.

That was the '80s. The '90s were about Minidisc.
And even if done correctly like most of their Minidisc machines, always somehow crippled, especially software-wise.
All these truther geniuses that figured out why WTC7 collapsed couldn't figure out the pressure inside a proton... hmmm....

" Free healthcare. "
You clearly don't have a clue. Let me know when you want me to regale you with my experiences of our "free" "healthcare" system.
