No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Underfloor heating definitely makes a floor warm to the touch. Source: have it throughout the downstairs of my house and it comes on for an hour each morning.
It depends on how you use the under floor heating. Some people use them like regular heating, where you turn it off and only turn it on when you want it to get warmer. In this use case the floor is warmer than the room and you will feel the floor getting warm. This is however not the most efficient way to use underfloor heating for rooms that are in use most of the time.
For rooms where people are most of the time, the most efficient use of underfloor heating is to have the water at the desired temperature all the time. That way it's very easy to heat up the water, since if only needs to be a bit over ambient and only the heat lost in the system needs to be replaced. In this case the floor and the room become the exact same temperature and won't feel warm. It just won't feel cold, like the floor would without the heating.
There might have been advances to that tech, maybe it's better thermally regulated now. My parents house had it in the kitchen and I think it was relatively new concept when house was built, I found the heat to be a bit uneven, a bit uncomfortable in some spots.
It was installed 3 years ago, so it's pretty up to date. An hour in the morning warms the floor pretty uniformly, and keeps it at around 21 degrees C for quite some time.
Ah yes, for comparison my parents was built year 2000. 22 year difference in quality!
