Lichess bot strength

Subjetively, it makes a HUGE difference whether I play a "normal" game against the computer and select stockfish lvl 1 (yes, I'm a very bad newbie), compared to when I select "offline game" and also select stockfish lvl 1. The latter is far more difficult and hardly makes any mistakes (as far as I can tell anyways). I can never beat the offline bot, and almost always beat the online bot. Is this a known quirk of the app?

    I think that the evaporation in theory is able to cool the room, the heat energy is transferred into launching a bunch of water molecules airborne so to speak. Hanging some wet towels around would also do that.

    However, the performance of such small devices is probably not sufficient to significantly cool a room, and it has a lot of drawbacks (filter gets mouldy easily, ...)

    Here's an excellent video about these swamp coolers: https://youtu.be/2horH-IeurA (he has many videos on heat pumps and stuff)

    TypeScript also has the type after the method/function, I think to make it easier to re-use and port existing JavaScript code.
