If these posts are made in a relatively short time then it could appear as spam. I browsing New is my default and, on a couple of occasions, I have blocked a user simply for being too active and flooding my feed.

I'm guessing Trump does not remember when Elon Musk tried to bully Zuckerberg into a physical fight leading to Zuckerberg accepting the challenge and Musk having to tuck tail and run.

Have you tried taking it anywhere that requires a transfer? Last time I saw, all transfers required going to Union Station. Doesn't matter if that is the opposite direction of where you want to go. Union Station is (or was) the only option if you were not traveling in a straight line.

All of my knowledge on Los Angeles public transit is about 15 years old. I really do hope that they have improved since then.

I am also just talking about just the Metro rail system. I never attempted any other public transit options in LA.

Los Angeles. No car. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

That city has one of the most dysfunctional and impractical public transit systems I have ever known. Admittedly, I have not experienced many, but it is bad enough for me to believe the conspiracy theory that car manufacturers have influenced city leaders to ensure that cars are mandatory.

That Trump campaign sounds like a well oiled machine.

The ban also forbids marketers from exaggerating their own influence by, for example, paying for bots to inflate their follower count.

I wonder if "followers" includes users and how that will impact Twitter, Reddit, Facebooky, Instagram, TikTok, etc who use stats like active users to drive ad sales.

As individuals will each have multiple records associated with them, one for each of their previous home addresses, the breach does not expose information about 2.7 billion different people. Furthermore, according to BleepingComputer, some impacted individuals have confirmed that the SSN associated with their info in the data dump is not correct.

Remember when Trump said that the noise from wind turbines caused cancer? The internet remembers.

National Public Data scrapes the personally identifying information of billions of individuals from non-public sources

Honest question: If these sources are non-public, how did National Public Data get access?

Facetious questions: If they are using private or restricted sources of data accumulation on an international scale, should they be calling themselves National Public Data? Seems like Global Private Data would be more fitting.

What is Flipboard?

Seriously, 4 to 6 words is all it would take.

Flipboard, a social media aggregate app, is making good on a major fediverse promise.

Is that what it is? Did I guess right?

Hey ladies. How you doin'?

Did you know that heat pumps are often considered a superior method for household heating for several reasons:

  1. Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps are highly efficient compared to traditional heating systems like furnaces and boilers. They transfer heat rather than generate it, using electricity to move heat from the outside to the inside (even in cold climates).

  2. Dual Functionality: Heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling. This versatility means you only need one system for year-round climate control, rather than separate systems for heating and cooling.

  3. Lower Operating Costs: Although the upfront cost of a heat pump can be higher than some other heating systems, the energy savings over time often result in lower overall operating costs.

  4. Environmentally Friendly: Heat pumps produce fewer emissions compared to systems that burn fossil fuels for heating. As the electricity grid becomes greener, the environmental benefits of heat pumps increase even further.

  5. Safety: Heat pumps do not use combustion to generate heat, which means there is no risk of carbon monoxide leaks or other combustion-related dangers.

  6. Long Lifespan: Heat pumps generally have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance compared to other heating systems, making them a cost-effective choice over time.

  7. Quiet Operation: Heat pumps tend to operate more quietly than traditional HVAC systems, making them a more pleasant option for household heating.

  8. Consistency: Heat pumps can provide consistent and even heating throughout the home, improving comfort and potentially reducing hot and cold spots.

Overall, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient, versatile, and environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home.

If you'd like to further explore the benefits of heat pumps over the current, conventional, home environmental control option, I have one installed at my place that I would love to show you.

What do you say? Wanna come over to my place and check out my heat pump?
