  • Electric heat is not always 99.9% efficient, resistive heating is.

    Heat pumps are more than 100% efficient(compared to resistive heating)

    It's not bs, because we are moving heat, not creating it. You thinking it is bullshit will not change the laws of thermodynamics. Try to think about it this way.

    "Cold" is a made up human concept, it really is a lack of heat energy. The coldest is 0K, but even a Midwest winter is waaaaaay above that. Heat pumps (and all refrigerant-based systems) work by changing the phase of the refrigerant from liquid to gas to cool, or by compressing a gas to a liquid. This phase change takes energy from the surrounding air (think about computer duster, the can gets cold) and then pipes it inside, where it can be compressed to release the heat it just picked up from outside. In the summer you flip the reverse switch to cool your house.

    Here is an explanation from someone much more eloquent than myself:https://youtu.be/7J52mDjZzto?si=sYlNlpvGnJs16lwk

  • Look at a close up of moss. It looks like a forest.

    Further,

    Look at cells, just groups of proteins. Look at organs, just groups of cells. Look at organisms. Just groups of organs. Look at societies, just groups of organisms. Each step is constituted of building blocks of another. The universe is a self organizing system of complexity. I've bored my friends with this theory under the influence of THC but I finally feel vindicated.

  • You're failing to acknowledge why someone who would be more concerned about a bigger number. 60 is bigger than 10 sir, and we should focus on 60, as it would have a greater effect for our effort

  • No, it's like saying garbage trucks haul more garbage than normal vehicles. Because while people may transport trash in their vehicles, dump trucks were created for the specific purpose of hauling trash.

  • Why is it controversial to point out that pitbulls bite more because they were bred for it?

    My Australian shepherd herds things, never taught them that. Retrievers retrieve things. Pitbulls maul things. That's what they were all bred for.

    Now if you really want to do some research look up how much money is spent on pro - Pitbull lobbying and misinformation

  • Dude had a clear idea he was expressing. The world isn't a marvel movie, there are no good guys or bad guys, only subjective observations of two different people with different motivations. Depending on how you interpret the situation, you could come to the conclusion that retaliation was inevitable and not have empathy for the perpetrators. You can also hold the opinion that killing sucks, regardless of the circumstances despite this. Making this a good vs evil thing frames this entire complex situation as much more simple than it is, and could be a harmful lens to view the world with.

  • I bought a 2002 Honda insight. One of the first hybrids, except the electric motor went out, so it's all gas now. Still got slapped with an extra $150 so called "hybrid tax" so the state can subsidize a lower usage of gas that they would have received tax on. Literally incentivizes gasoline vehicles. What the fuck?
