This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Would have expected the article to refer to that, as the concept is quite similar.
Instead it mentioned Roman hypocausts as an example, which in reality are actually considered one of the first types of central heating, so somewhat the opposite of what they were trying to get at in the article...
