how dare they not be complacent with the little acknowledgement of their dignity they are given? why can’t they just do as I want now that for the second time a presidential candidate is a thread to me personally, instead of just other people.

I think that is what you meant. you don’t care about them, if you did you would push for Harris to do better instead of other people to lower their expectations for a presidential candidate.

depending on the outside temperature, there’s a limit to what the heat pump can do, which an internal electric heater inside the water tank takes over to reach usable shower temperature.

That is also true for solar heaters when there is no sun. and there are not many places that have climates where heat pumps cant operate these days.

Also air source heat pumps can have a COP of 3.5 so or higher. so even with a lower efficiency from the PV you might get ahead. You also get gains from the high COP on cloudy days where you might need resistance heating on the thermal one

I dont think you can claim any of them is better without doing the math.

I think they heat a refrigerant and then use a heat exchanger to transfer that heat to the water.

I would love to see numbers on how they compare against solar panels+ air source heat pump. I guess the solar heater is cheaper, but I would guess photovoltaic+heat pump probably is more efficient all around and it useful for all your home, not just water.

while these news are great. it is good to remember than decreasing emissions is not enough.

if you see in a room that is filling fast with water and you are about to drown, would you be relieved if water simply started pouring a bit more slowly?

it will take decades for the atmosphere to get back to normal even if we halted new emissions

pretty sure they want democrats to wake up and change their policies and the only leverage they have is their vote.

does this apply only to the internet? e.g. are you against laws that prevent stores from selling tobacco to minors because it’s their parents responsibility that they don’t smoke?

Im not saying Texas’ solution is a good idea, but also I feel it is at least weird this contradictory situation between the physical world and the internet

their parents also work harvesting cocoa. The reason they are poor despite being working a lot is that they are not paid enough for their work… by Mars (or Nestle, Mondelez, etc)

middle class is now “the richest 10%”? not sure they know what “middle” means

If someone is putting civilians between you and them and you still shoot, you are not better than them.

their nation was literally built on top of violence.

would you say that to people in every single colonialist country? e.g. the US?

Unfortunately most western states have completely ignored for years the atrocities committed against the people in Palestine. Not allowing these kinds of protests also prevents people in those countries from voicing their rejection of their governments position, making it more difficult for those governments to change their postures.

Putting pressure on Israel’s allies is for most people the only way they have to support Palestinians

This ban also legitimises the idea that supporting Palestine is equal to supporting terrorism or antisemitism, which also can increase hate crimes against them (and Arab people in general)

lottery winner tries to convince people to spend all their savings in lottery tickets: “It worked for me and it can work for you too”

Back in 2021 the supreme court had already declared abortion as not a crime, but the sentenced, while settled a precedent, did not applied in the whole country. This new sentence applies in the whole country and also forces mexican healthcare public institutions to provide abortion to any person that requests it.

how is this good specifically for women in the border? this applies equally in the whole country

this is exclusively about protecting the meat & dairy industry. nothing more.

I don’t think they claim the movie is misleading. They are using the recent popularity of the topic brought by the movie to expose some harsh truths that might otherwise be ignored.

they make their income out of tourism because that is what government decisions have fostered. after the 2009 crisis, it became a quick and easy way to reintroduce people into work. Unfortunately it is an exploitative industry that allows little possible grow to people working in it.

Most people in that industry are not making a living out of it, they are trapped in it.
