What's also interesting is that you have to factor in the costs and CO2 emissions of the fuel source and it's delivery method. A new building code for a county in my area was adopted which requires calculations for energy efficient HVAC systems and also CO2 emissions with those systems. Surprisingly, natural gas has less CO2 emissions associated with it, while electricity is 2.86 times as much. This is because grid electricity is mostly produced by fossil fuels, then needs to be delivered to the site but there are many losses along the way. So even if the all electric equipment is twice as efficient as the equivalent natural gas equipment, it still contributes more CO2 production. This is part of the issue with phasing out natural gas and moving to all electric in its current state. But with that is the push (and requirements) to produce energy on site and shift towards net zero energy for commercial sites, which is definitely better than using grid power from an emissions standpoint.

As if the original viral footage wasn't enough, but glad there are more angles to remove all doubt.

Pretty insane that his mother is literally willing to die for "justice" when it's dead obvious he initiated everything. Some people are blind to the truth when it involves family.

I've seen this debate about the outcome of the moving portal. I'm pretty certain that because of inertia, and the people aren't moving, they will just plop out the other side. Think of it like moving a hoola hoop through the people. That's basically what the portal is.

The hoola hoop has inertia and is moving, but it doesn't actually come in contact with the people, so it passes right around them. There's no way for the people to have instant acceleration because the porta did, otherwise it'd be like them hitting a brick wall and they would probably explode

My tired brain accidentally read this as "anti-trust" laws and was surprised but excited, but then was confused reading the comments. Then I reread the title and was like oh fuck, this is messed up as hell. My excitement died in .01 seconds.

Seriously fuck these people. They are more obsessed/concerned with trans people's genitals than actual trans people...

For some people, everything has to be a conspiracy. Logical, easily verifiable reasons for things can't possibly be the truth to them. Especially if it comes from the opposing political party, it is automatically false to them. Even if verifiable.

Honestly I wasn't sure of the benefit either, but your response makes so much sense. I don't know why there always has to be conspiracies for obvious stuff.

As an American Engineer, the US measurement system disgusts me. The rest of the world uses SI, but my entire industry (and most of the US) uses the English system still and I absolutely hate it. Converting from ft to inches, or BTUs and tons, cubic feet, etc. Our lazy asses haven't joined the rest of the world yet. I wish we would just force the change and get over it

But in the US it unfortunately is. The right has made it a political "stance" while it's just a matter of human rights. It shouldn't be political, but it is and it pisses me off

I remember having an S6 and it come with so many apps preinstalled that you can't uninstall. There's the default Google/android apps which is fine because those are the basics. Then Samsung puts a bunch of their own apps on there that basically duplicates a bunch of these and can't be uninstalled, and then there's other bloat apps like Facebook, maybe candy crush or some shit, maybe Netflix, that all can't be uninstalled. The worst offender is Facebook because it was on almost any other phone not running stock android but supposedly had deeper privileges as a "system" app

Did you pay by yearly subscription? Might just be you already paid for the next several months until it expires, and just won't renew the next billing cycle.

Otherwise that sounds like a bug that benefits you haha

It's honestly crazy how poorly this whole thing is being handled. Reddit admins are really showing their true colors and keep doubling down on everything, making themselves look like absolute fools. They realized they don't have as much power as they wanted and are acting like grumpy children throwing a temper tantrum

This has already been affecting me a but. Now I'm not complaining because I fully support it. But I've recently been looking up product suggestions, tech help, etc and many of the reddit links in the search results were private communities. I was like "oh so this is actually having an impact at least."

I actually wish more subs would stay dark, especially since the CEO was basically like "they'll get over it soon"
