Even if it were an intentional lie, both Fox News personalities and the administrated were already on record with more serious lies about the same thing. Where are their cancellations?

Yep, those look familiar. However for heat pumps I found one manufacturer in Canada plus a few experimental things

While I don’t have timebof use metering, I was looking into solar and it could be really useful for shifting the load so solar does most of the heating

Cooks great. I just started so don’t have scratches yet but I’m sure they’re coming.

Someone online recommended parchment paper Nader the pan to keep it from scratching, but that seems like a pain

But now I’m worried just as much about my few remaining non-stick pans I just tried one for the first time on my new induction stove and it wouldn’t stay 8n place. Between the lightweight aluminum and the smooth glass stove top, every time I tried to flip an egg the pan moved

You definitely want to look at the reviews though. When I started looking a couple years ago, the few less expensive models had really bad reviews from too small coils cooking slowly and unevenly

I’m just trying to learn now from a recent conversion and I’m amazed at how quickly pans heat up compared to gas. I have this one pasta meal down to a science, knowing exactly what I could do while waiting for the water to boil and the skillet to heat up, but now my process is out of wack because it was so quick.

Apologize for ruining the humor with pedantry but …

You’re probably on that puny ~110-120 volt supply.

Assuming this is a dig at the US, major appliances like stoves use 240v circuits. I think there are a couple possible but my new stove circuit is 50a 240v, the same as my car charger.

Induction stoves are something where you can still make fun of us though. They are rare and most are expensive. I just converted from gas to induction and none of the three places I went to even had a display model so I Could see what an induction stove looked like

There was an article posted somewhere on Lemmy a few months back where someone tried to do similar calculations for the US as a whole. What I took from the result was 95% renewable was achievable and still cheaper than fossil fuels. However the over provisioning of renewables and over double the storage needed to reliably achievable 100% made that infeasible with today’s proving and technology. Basically you can install storage to cover when the sun is not shining but it’s much more difficult to cover weeks of gloominess

Not that old, plus I don’t see it.

Asbestos is great at insulating really hot things so was used on boilers , especially ships and industrial to insulate the hot pipes and improve efficiency. However in this case we need something with thermal mass: any sand or rock might do, or water, or oil, or a modern phase change material. That material next to the heater will get hot but the entire mass won’t, so can be insulated with standard materials. There’s no point in something like asbestos

An important part of my point was also that what I assume were cheap materials was enough to take advantage of nightly time of use metering. In upstate NY, a standard “radiator” per room was sufficient, similar to hot water or steam heat

Believe it or not, also a leader of antifa

Some of the most important leaders of antifa

When I was a kid my parents had electric resistance heat with some very effective thermal storage.

Each room had a unit about the size of a typical radiator. The unit was basically an insulated box with a small circulation fan. I’m not sure what was inside but always assumed some form of brick - they weren’t expensive so it couldn’t be anything exotic. At night when electric rates were low, whatever was inside the units was heated up. During the day, the only power usage was a small circulation fan controlled by the thermostat.

I just got a heat pump installed and thought thermal storage would be worth considering since I was also looking into solar, but contractors acted like they never heard of it, and there really didn’t seem to be any consumer units available.

The solar panels are another story. I don’t see how such a scammy (in the us) industry even exists. They make it really hard to give them my money

This is a farmer. Complaining about his situation now.

Unless he’s confident of a bailout, there may be no 18 months from now. wtf would he want to kick the can down the road?

What hope do we have when a leopard is eating someone’s face and their reaction is they trust the leopard and are willing to let it continue another year and a half? What does it take for them to make the connection?

Certainly some of it is on me: I don’t like to plan ahead enough for an appointment but also don’t want to wait. I prefer a place that does walk-ins and I learn when they’re unlikely to have a line.

Supercuts is a great example. My town had two of them so I went to each several times before learning that one was consistently better, so I started going there regularly. Then they closed. So now I’m going to the other but they’re a mess: employees consistently do noticeably worse job and are not attentive to incoming customers. I don’t think I set a high bar but they’re not achieving it. And specifically they insist on giving me a combover even when I say no: I know my hair is thinning but it’s past the point where a combover is anything but sad. I also don’t comb my hair to the side so a combover just looks uneven and sad. Why can’t they just accept when I say no?

My town has been going through a generational and demographic shift so all the old places are being replaced with shiny new ones. While I’m sure those new ones will do a basic haircut, they put so much effort into being shiny and modern with modern hairstyles for young adults or hairstyles traditionally associated with various demographics. Great but why can’t we keep it simple? Why can’t I walk in, ask for a haircut, give my preferences And just get it done?

Not often enough. It looks pretty ratty by the time I force myself to go. Maybe 4-6 months?

I’ve always been annoyed by haircuts so it’s difficult to motivate myself to go. However by the time I settle on a new location to regularly use, they close down. Then it’s that much more annoying o find a new place I don’t hate

I do trim my beard weekly though. Since I have the tools and know how to use them. Currently I have a full beard but cut very short, and shave my neck - shaving a straight line is tough to do

That’s the problem with being a benevolent dictator- if an action is for the greater good but the people don’t want it, is it still good? What are you willing to do to stay in office now that the people have proven they don’t know what’s best for them, and you know that you do?

Once people get desperate enough, they’ll be willing to work in the fields in the hot sun all day with no breaks, no shade, no water. The farmers will be happy with a new source of exploitable labor: win-win

Good thing we’re burning down fundamental government services, destroying our future and adding trillions to the national debt to fund tax cuts for those one percenters, huh

You see, nothing illegal happened on Trump-Epstein island. /s
