Yeah that looks like resistive heating, so there's no reason to think it's more efficient than the small heater which definitely uses resistive heating. It's impossible to know for certain but my gut says the small heater is the right call - since you're heating a smaller area, there's less surface area to lose heat from, and heat losses are what drives heating costs.

What kind of unit is the central system - heat pump? Resistive heating?

There are a lot of details we'd need to determine this, so I don't think we can give you a firm answer. But heat pumps are dramatically more efficient than resistive heating, so if the central system is a heat pump that's probably the right answer. If the central system uses resistive heating then it's probably not much more efficient than the small heater.

Counterintuitively, I try to do less. If I have 5 things to do today and can't motivate myself to get started, I push all but 1 or 2 off until later. Then I know a nice, log break is waiting for me for the rest of the day if I finish those things. At that point, getting the one or two things done feels worthwhile, and it feels like there's a reward for me at the end (goofing off guilt-free).

I mean, I wasn't going to get all 5 things done today because I'm a procrastinator. But if I accept that and make the workload much lighter, can get a little done.

We fixed the glitch.

Chalupas (I think these are basically the same as their gorditas but with a fried shell)

And honestly their regular, basic beef soft tacos are pretty good, especially with some fire sauce (or whatever your preferred level of spice is).

The other 2/3.

Okay don't actually do this

Thank you for this! I thought Firefox for Android was slow - nope, uBlock was just doing too much.

You may not like it, but Steve Minecraft is what peak performance looks like.

Blame is not a finite resource. Just because 2 people are involved doesn't mean they're both 50% to blame — they can both be 100% at fault.

So to answer your question, the person is responsible for their onerous views. They chose to watch that trash and believe it. We can have compassion for them without absolving them of blame. At the same time, they are a victim of the people lying to them. So it's fine to blame the person consuming the bullshit and the person producing the bullshit, and the fact that there are 2 people to blame doesn't make either of them any less to blame.

Like a bulldog eating custard.

True, but the original question was a hypothetical about the absurd consequences of ruling in their favor.

According to the arguments currently being made to protect Trump from prosecution. The premise of the question was "If presidential immunity is absolute."

True, but it's worth noting that this is an average and will vary wildly. Since I started tracking my annual returns have been 9.42%, 1.12%, 8.44%, 17.28%, -5.30%, 22.04%, 18.75%, 15.60%, -17.58%, and 18.11%. Which averages out to 7.75% — not far from the usual 7% figure.*

So for anyone just learning about investing, you'll almost never have an "average" year. Each year will be all over the place. It's only when you've been in the market for a long time that your returns will average out to something close to typical.

*I'm also ignoring an important distinction: IIRC the stock market averages close to 10% returns if you only look at dollar values. But when you account for the fact that inflation makes reach dollar worth less, on average returns are 7% in terms of real purchasing power. The returns I posted above are not inflation adjusted, but they include some bonds which don't return as much as stocks. So it's no surprise that my returns are on average less than 10%.

In theory that gets around the legal issue but then you're getting into practical issues: Trump is protected by the Secret Service so either it will be extremely difficult from a practical perspective, or you would have to get quite a few people to go along with the conspiracy. Again, this highlights what a terrible idea immunity is because the possibilities get horrifying really fast.

I am super duper NOT an expert but I believe the President can pardon crimes in DC, so that would get around the state court issue. Same for outside the US: I'm not sure states can punish crimes outside of the US. Even if they can, they may not have laws on the books to handle that sort of thing.
