FYI that's almost 9000 watts of power to supply that thing, which is about 9 microwaves or 3 electric ovens worth.

My coworker bought one and had to buy a new electrical panel because it required 45A of electricity to run it meaning 3 dedicated circuits at 120V (5400 watts!). IMO an electric tankless is the worst of both worlds.

Tankless only shines if you have a large household where you need an endless supply of hot water. For everything else, they're going to operate the same or worse than a tank heater and also come with more maintenance.

You're talking about HVAC while everyone else is talking about water heaters. I think it's pretty well demonstrated that heat pumps for HVAC are the way to go but not for heating water.

I think that's just fluff and this is a munchkin cat bred to have stubby little legs.

This is mostly unnecessary. I just slap the wall mount up into the studs, hang the TV, and use a $7 cable concealer to hide the power cord. Dedicated outlets for power and video behind the TV is great but that's more suited for rich people or electricians.

I just use these to hide any cables and it makes them nearly invisible.

It would be nice if they included mounts, but the VESA mounting system is standardized and there are lots of different styles of mounts to fit your needs.

How is it annoying? I try to wall mount every TV because then I can move it around or angle it easily and it looks 100x better than hanging halfway off a bedside table.

This is like a $150 TV. They aren't going to make a $50 solid steel base and internal frame for that over some cheap injection molded legs.

Somewhere where it gets to -10F. That's like the difference between 50F and 80F

Doesn't sound like any of those stories involve a sleeping homeless man on public property though.

The last several times I've been to Lowes they only have self checkouts open. Can you imagine trying to run a 4x8' sheet of plywood or 15' long pipe over the scanner? It's ridiculous.

It absolutely will kill the grass underneath and you'll be left with a dirt patch all spring and summer speaking from experience.

What an odd name. Poor fella.

Lots of PR. I just listened to a QAnonAnonymous podcast episode on him and learned that the foundation isn't as charitable as it seems. There are many reports that they come in and try to control the charity/project requesting funds, force these groups to give licensing rights to their technology, and often rely on public funds to get their projects off the ground. They likened it to the old Microsoft days where they come in and absorb companies with hostile takeovers.

In what world? Outside of government exchanges, you're limited to the plan your employer offers you.

I’m not afraid of them but I don’t like it.

Can't tell if you're referring to the flies or the wife and kids.

Whatever you say, bud.

This question debunks 99% of conspiracy theories, but they'll just give some non-answer like "power" or "control."

I like how you're trying to tie manufacturers selling defective items at full price to environmentalism as if that makes the practice okay.
