The other drawbacks to heat pump style is that they require a lot more ventilation and they cool the air around them (which is great in the summer, but could be a nightmare in the winter). I think maybe they also dry the air too, which again could be nice in the summer and rough in the winter.
If that all works for your situation, go for it, but I’d hate for you to spend that money upfront for something that didn’t suit your needs.
One trip? So the legends are true? It can be done?
Sure, but you know how else you could give that information to the client and have them respond back?
By emailing the deck and asking for their thoughts.
We don’t really need to coordinate having an hour window in everybody’s schedule anymore.
Okay, but imagine if everybody just didn’t attend. If the quick notes summarizing the meeting are enough for everybody, then the meeting is a waste of time.
If you get sufficient value out of a 30 second summary of an hour long meeting, then why have the hour long meeting?
(h)(n) + (t)(p) = W
(h length of meeting in hours) x (n number of people in the meeting) + (t number of hours prepping the meeting) x (p number of people prepping the meeting) = W number of work hours spent on this meeting. Multiply W by the average hourly wage. That’s how much money the meeting cost. And that doesn’t factor in the cost of productivity loss because everybody could’ve been doing something useful with that time instead.
If it could’ve otherwise been ten minutes of writing an email and five minutes per worker reading and understanding it, then how is it anything other than an efficiency gain to just make that meeting an email? Instead, we’re still putting the meeting together just to then pay in resources and possibly subscription cost to have the meeting summarized instead of just having the host do it in the first place.
Salt and pepper make dog shit more palatable too. Instead of seeking to make bad things palatable, can we try something different instead?
Don’t respect waymo more; respect Tesla even less.
We’ll pay more for less in terms of software, and we’ll pay more for more in terms of hardware, but nearly everybody would happily buy less. For example, the cheapest phones will be $1k+ but with unused bells and whistles, and there will be a subscription paywall to use Google maps.
We’ll have less privacy and security. Our devices will be used to spy on us even more than now.
PlayStation 6 will come out. The next Xbox will have a really fucking stupid name. Call of Duty will be a 250GB game.
It will become more feasible to implement battery tech in your home. Generators will give way to a big battery for power outages. Areas with variable power rates will see people supplement their home power with battery during the day and charge them back up at night. EV adoption will continue to rise. Self driving tech will not change in a meaningful way. Fusion power will be commercially implemented, but barely break even, which is fine because that’s how new tech takes early steps to optimize.
China will be far and away ahead of the US in terms of infrastructure, daily consumer tech, and overall happiness. The US will pretend otherwise and launch a targeted propaganda campaign to keep its people too dumb and busy to notice how badly they’re getting fucked. But even worse than now, though.
Healthcare tech will expand. But not in the US. Not for the working class, anyway. Measles outbreaks will come in waves. Flu and a new covid strain will be devastating within 18 months. Polio will pop back up like measles currently is. Maybe TB too. Mental health will continue to get stigmatized if not fully ignored.
Physical media will be basically gone. Disc drives will as rare as actual audio CDs are in everyday life.
Lab grown meat will be more affordable, and it will bring a culture war with it.
Trump: “I’m gonna do [blank].”
Me: “He’s gonna do [blank].”
Redcaps: “He’s not gonna do [blank], idiot!”
Trump: “We have done [blank] and are committed to accelerating the [blank] policy.”
Redcaps: "omg, we had no idea that he would actually do [blank]! This is horrible!
Me: “Okay, so are you gonna denounce that at all? Maybe think twice about whether you support a thing that he tells you he’s gonna do going forward?”
Redcaps: “What? Why? It’s actually good and smart that he did [blank], and you’re an idiot loser for still thinking about that. Also everything in my life is bad and getting worse, and it’s the fault of the party that currently wields no power. The party currently in power which is famous for staunchly opposing change will be the key to changing the trajectory of my life.”
How are these people not developing an ounce of critical thinking skill? I didn’t think you needed to be a genius to display basic pattern recognition. A dog can do that effortlessly.
It’s almost like he’s a lying narcissist or something. He’ll say whatever will get him closer to his goals with absolutely zero intent on keeping his word, and by the time even 20% of the country has caught on, he’s already several grifts and/or scandals downstream. If anybody does manage to confront him on it and demand an explanation, he just lies and changes the subject.
Promises made, promises delivered.
I truly don’t understand how he isn’t running out of rubes. He’s been very publicly exposed as the con man he is for over a decade now. His marks keep getting fucked over and are complaining about it. How are so many people still falling for his bullshit?
I hereby accuse Donald J Trump of being an illegal immigrant. As he is not afforded due process to prove that he is a legal citizen, I demand that he be deported to the prison in El Salvador since he’s also a convicted felon.
They are so fucking dumb. USPS vehicles are maybe the most perfect usecase for EV implementation. They’re typically shorter range, constantly stop-and-go, smaller and lighter than most modern cars, and a shitload of the existing fleet is like 50 years old and badly needs a refresh anyway. And now that the money has been spent on developing and introducing this great idea, they just want to trash it?
How the fuck does anybody get away with calling Republicans fiscally responsible without getting their ass kicked? In my lifetime, every Republican president has fucked the economy and every Democrat president has unfucked it. The spiteful ratfuckery can’t be accepted anymore.
Fake news. The fat orange one is 79.
Okay, but if literal Caucasians from Caucasia don’t count as white, then wtf does white even mean.
If Caucasians count as white, then Iranians are white. A lot of Iranians are also religious and right wing too. The average Republican and the average Iranian would agree with each other on nearly everything if they could somehow have a conversation without divulging their country, clothes, and specific God.
Wait, are you saying that action was taken to prevent shooters from entering legislative buildings to attack politicians? Oh boy, I bet that means that the same or similar action has been taken to prevent shooters from entering schools to attack children.
No? Well whose job would that be? Those politicians, huh?
Well then I guess this is gonna be as normalized as school shootings until they do something to meaningfully reform gun control.
What a fucking ghoul.
“It’s a tragedy that this happened to anybody, and it’s a disgusting attack on the fundamental tenets of democracy that this happened to elected leaders.”
Was that so hard? Go ahead, staffers. Copy and paste that. Apparently it’s better than any of you can do.
On a totally unrelated note, I’m pretty sure he’s going to a theatre to see a play at some point soon. Maybe tonight? I don’t think it’s a comedy, but there’s an opportunity for somebody to do the funniest thing possible. Double funny if their name is Mario.
The oligarchs demand a new generation of laborers. How can the shareholders be confident in infinite exponential growth without an ever growing pool of labor and consumers? Never you mind whether anybody is prosperous enough to afford to be consumers. That’s an issue we can wait until next quarter to worry about. By then, we’ll have laid off half of the laborers and replaced them with AI.
What’s that? If everybody is laying off laborers in favor of AI, who will be left to buy our products and services, you ask? Lol idk, my job is to just make line go up at all costs.
Holy crap, that’s brilliant. I was not aware of that development.
I’m in a townhouse though, so the footprint it needs is more than I’m willing to spare, but most single family homes could probably take advantage of that!
