Switching to propane is one safer alternative that is being recommended for people with natural gas lines to their houses, it is less leaky and cleaner burning than the methane stuff. Propane won't be banned, but it will become more expensive as supplies dwindle.

If you have an air conditioner you already have a heat pump, it just needs to be one that can alternate directions between heating and cooling. Also, backup emergency heat would not need to be nearly as extensive as a full house propane furnace. Or, you could just use a propane emergency generator instead and keep using the heat pump. Propane can be stored long term much more easily than alternatives like gasoline, and while it can be pricier, just having enough for emergencies is not a great cost.

Batteries or generators could also work for heat pumps, or you could have emergency backup propane heat. Basically the short answer to your concern is "prepare" just like how you handle every other emergency situation like that ever, regardless of what kind of heating system you use.

Also a big part of it is fixing up your insulation. Modern insulation is great, a well insulated house is super cheap/easy to heat.

What???

This is about heating homes in winter, what are you talking about?? Electric fans are more efficient at what?

Oh, at least they got all that harmless weed and non-addictive hallucinogenics off the street... Waste of taxpayer money to fuck with that.

Why do you have to be rude? They were simply claiming the classes were not effective at their apparent goal of making students more ethical. It doesn't mean they don't think doctors should be ethical.

I also had to take a required ethics class, and it was the worst taught class I ever took there. It wasn't effective at teaching me about ethics, it was just a pile of bad tests, and it certainly wasn't effective at convincing me and the other students to be more ethical in our respective careers.

The free website where many people put up easy to access high quality educational resources is a great way to learn stuff on a budget. Not all of youtube is great but being rude to people who watch youtube videos to make yourself feel bigger is shitty.

I don't agree with you, but I really like the word "gringe", so good job.

I've always wondered if this photo would be better or worse if he used both hands on the gun instead of just one.

This would be a not bad argument if the guy was informed and did a good job.

He was not, and he did not.

I looked it up.

He went to a non-official startrek convention recently, during all these strikes. All the other star trek actors weren't allowed to/avoided talking about star trek directly because it is owned by a company they are striking against (with the exception of the animated shows I guess?). He apparently talked freely about startrek without any concern as though he doesn't care about the strike.

I was wondering too, because I was wondering how a well known actor "scabs" exactly, but this makes sense, he is still promoting the show, disregarding the strike rules and working class actors.

Not all propaganda is untrue. Sometimes it is more tactical. In this case, implying one true thing is more important than it is.

All construction projects of all types have been having impacts on the animals that are displaced or effected for a while, and we do need to have concern for it and change many things, from infrastructure designs to materials used and how they are manufactured.

But inflating this concern over these birds related to windmills is intended to bring hesitation to people who are concerned about the environment that would otherwise support these necessary changes to our power grid.

There will always always always be less damage to environments from windmills than there is from equivalent power fossil fuel use. Implying otherwise is dishonest. Look at any image of a strip mine and tell me that causes less damage than windmills

Not from the bacteria's perspective

I hate to be the one to break it to you but you are the only punchline here.

"Mountain campsite says the women fled into the wilderness after struggling to cope with societal changes in recent years"

I can relate to this.

...found with Jara’s favorite, blessed rosary that she gave the group before they left.

“God was with them,” said Jara

Oh, no I can't. Huh.

Only in the context of like, fire safety. You can't have more people in a building than it is designed to safely hold.

Of course, cops use this safety regulation as an excuse to control people and be dicks...

This isn't true. We very much can.

Have you considered that the sun is a gigantic self sustaining ball of fusion that bathes our entire planet in an amount of power you cannot comprehend in its scale, every single day? Because that is a big part of it.

This is an argument for differently designed windfarms, at best, and you are defending propaganda.

A lot of what you just said is not true, fully bullshit, so I'll just ignore all that. Dead birds? Cmon. Are we going to tear down all the skyscrapers in the world because birds run into them? Are we going to stop the entire logging industry because it takes away bird's nesting space? Don't spout anti-green energy propaganda like you are worried about the birds, if you were really worried about them, you would be pro green energy

If you consider the peripheral waste involved in their production it is only fair to do the same for everything else, and when you do, solar and wind still win. And it's only going to get better, we are refining and recycling the rare materials involved better and better every year. We are kindof in the golden age of solar power improvements.

Wind and solar > nuclear > fossil fuels

Nothing really against nuclear except how it is being weilded as a distraction from better, cleaner, energy. We need to be going all in on converting everything to wind and solar, with batteries and other power storage like water pumping facilities filling the gaps.

Nuclear needs a few more issues figured out, like how to actually cheaply build and get power from all those touted newer cleaner reactor styles.

Cop is a job where all sorts of people, good and bad, go to become bad people. Acab
