Thank you for responding and sharing your counter-experience. Greatly appreciated. What keeps your unit from icing over? Are they designed differently in northern climates?

I wonder who the fuck is downvoting these comments. LOL - "NO FOSSIL FUELS, YOU MUST DIE IN A POWER OUTAGE!"

They're only two to three times more efficient if they aren't frozen solid. Don't know how it works in Canada, but my mini-split heat pump can't handle a week of 10F let alone -20 C - sure it will put out some heat, but it absolutely needs to be supplemented with my wood stove. And I live in the South. Maybe there's some new high tech heat pumps that cost a fortune and don't freeze over in the insane temps of the great white north? EDIT: hey, folks, how about actually responding instead of downvoting me? If I don't have a clue, please enlighten me. Fuckers.

Same issue here. I went back to using voyager (wefwef, since I never deleted and resaved the link to my iphone desktop to catch the rebrand) because clicking on response notifications in Memmy sends me to the correct post but not the correct comments. Also I can log into the desktop lemmy.world site on my laptop, but my home desktop absolutely refuses to log in (even after saying that I'm logged in).

And now we have Chechnya Czechia ;) and Slovakia

No. Favorable orbital mechanics given Florida's location, plus failed rockets and staging can fall into the Atlantic instead of over land. Hawai'i would be another option but the natives would protest the fuck out of it and only some of them care about money more than their ideology.

Actually, they'd just try to seize his house, since proving his complicity is more challenging than proving that the house was used for the planning of a crime.

God, please don't give the GOP any ideas, the last thing we need is nuclear proliferation among Trumpers.

Seriously. I spend a little too much time watching a short that is clearly designed to get me worked up about stereotypical communication difficulties between men & women from a "women, am I rite?" perspective, suddenly I'm getting Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan. I spend a little too much time watching a video about certain Ukrainian war equipment or a Slo Mo Guys video involving guns (wood stock hunting guns, I felt like it was the early 80s all over again before everyone decided they needed assault weapons), suddenly I'm getting served tacticool idiots with kitted-out murder machines. Or I watch a Bart Erhman video (secular New Testament scholar with a large lay audience) and suddenly I get served muslim da'wah/apologetics videos and Catholic catechism ads.

I’m no china apologist, but if you know anything about how Indians riot, thousands of people can be murdered in a very short period of time. I haven’t heard anything about death squads for Uyghurs. Just saying, if I had to choose between being violently murdered by a Hindu mob and being detained by commies, I’d take the latter.

They are paid money. Bolsonaro was a fuck and he was rabidly supported by the Brazilian evangelicals, a movement started by American missionaries that now is a sizeable minority that is 100% committed to emulating American evangelicals including supporting assholes like Bolsonaro, fucking with the heathen indigenous, and pretending that mowing down the rainforest is a fucking moral imperative. And they’re only growing in political strength.

One of many reasons that nobody should be eating beef. Don’t eat beef. At least in the US, beef is excepted from country of origin laws. As an American, 99% of the time, you have no way of knowing if you’re eating the rainforest.

Where are they disembarking from? France? EDIT: The right to cherry-pick the country one seeks asylum in is not clearly established in international law.

You’re right. I didn’t realize that the international law of aiding people in distress at sea includes those who intentionally create the risk for themselves in order to provoke rescue. But it does.

Interesting. Did the evil west make the islamists purge their leftist allies after the shah was deposed in the glorious revolution?

Right. The UK has mass stabbings instead of mass shootings. I’d rather have a mass stabbing epidemic than what we’ve got.

That study seems to state a conclusion precisely the opposite of what the experimental results were. Based on a small sample set, there’s a high degree of match, far more accurate than random chance, between the observations and the genetic findings.

Dogs are not people. Dogs are domesticated wolves that were selectively bred to have particular characteristics. Some of those characteristics that humans chose are problematic in modern society. Stop trying to act like humans doing one of the oldest human activities (breeding/culling domesticated animals) is akin to genocide and eugenics. False fucking equivalence.

What obligation does the UK have to rescue and take in people trying to illegally enter the country? Seems like a risk people have assumed for themselves and that helping them will only encourage more to try.
