Wow I had no idea, thanks for sharing the source.

I saw it on there among 20+ other chocolate bars.

Maybe roommates?

Nyle and GE have 120V models too, or at least will have them on the market soon. I’ve worked on field testing them in California specifically. Transitioning to heat pump water heaters will help cut down on smog too. Good call on checking rebates, there’s a ton money available and some incentive finders are out there to help.

It’s totally fine if you have a good seasoning on there. The soap thing is largely a myth. I wash mine with soap every time I use it and it’s still slick as ever

For a lot of it, but sadly NO2 is heavy and sinks in the air so residential hoods don’t exhaust it well

Thank you for sharing the link. Here’s the relevant bit from the article:

Most gas stations don’t want to install new tanks just for E15. Instead, they’re installing blender pumps, which mix the ethanol and gasoline together in the right proportion depending on which one you want. But there’s a problem: if you pump E15 into your car, about a third of a gallon remains in the fueling hose when you’re done. If someone comes along, switches to E10, and buys a single gallon for their lawnmower, they’ll get a third of a gallon of E15 and two-thirds of a gallon of E10. That comes to about 11.7% ethanol, and that might be enough to set your lawnmower on fire.

So the EPA produced a new rule: if you sell E15, you have to require your customers to buy at least four gallons of gas regardless of what blend they’re buying. That’s a big enough purchase that the residual fuel in the hose is too small to matter

I definitely thought those were carrots. That certainly changes things

Maybe need to get induction instead of radiant? Induction is much more efficient.

I would love to vote third party if we had ranked choice voting. Without it, voting third party may just make it easier for Trump to win.

How is it punishing customers? The rest of the article suggests it may improve things

“It speeds up the process at entry and speeds up the process at the checkout,” he said. “That’s what we believe and we’re going to pilot it.”

All space heaters operate at the same efficiency since they convert electricity to heat via resistance. You may have a small one and low electricity rates in your area to see a negligible change. Or maybe other uses went down and masked the increase from the space heater usage.

Insurance and property taxes are factored into the monthly payment, though it’s not obvious from the meme

Thanks for sharing! These are indeed hard to get right and it’s nice that you put your “failure” online. Thankfully the consolation prize for croissants that aren’t laminated properly is delicious bread rolls, which I can say from experience.

Really exciting development for the climate change mitigation toolkit. Let’s hope it’s not too challenging or costly to scale up and deploy.

The recovery time, aka first hour rating, should be in the specs for the models to find one that suits your needs. There’s more detailed research on them available as well if you’re so inclined.

You can, but not as a heat pump so you wouldn’t get all the efficiency gains and it will very often end up being more expensive to run than gas tankless in the near term.

Fascinating idea. Sounds like it will be nearly improssible to implement at scale and long term in our current world, but maybe some of the ideas could be explored further as options to support laborers and mitigate wealth hoarding. Thanks for sharing.

I agree lawns are dumb but from an environmental perspective they can be net carbon sinks, which I found surprising. Though they are still bad for other environmental reasons.

Some are parasitic, most are saprophytic (decomposers/recyclers), others are symbiotic and exchange nutrients with trees
