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?

Why I never trust anything that brags about being the "fastest growing" anything.

Yes, but they would be separate accounts (comments, subscribed y communities, messages, etc). I have an account on lemm.ee and lemmy.world which I actively use. It can get a bit annoying making sure that I stay subscribed to the same communities on both, but it's also nice to get different feeds.

Another option would be to stand up your own closed instance, so your account is the only one. That way storage and bandwidth should be minimal enough that you can host at home and also have full control over settings on your instance.

Not lost, but inactive / isolated. As I understand it, when a user on insurance A subscribes to a community, votes, or comments on a community on instance B, that content is copied to insurance A and the two instances will sync their changes together. If instance B shuts down or the two instances defederate, then the content on instance A stays intact, but it no longer syncs with the source of truth.

Is each instance like another person with a server?

Yeah. I would assume that most, if not all, open instances are going through a 3rd party hosting service, but nothing stopping them from being hosted on hardware in somebodies home.

Could that person just shut it down whenever they wanted to?

Yup. Anytime and for any reason. It might cause a moment of disruption, but the beauty of federation is that you can always setup an account on a new instance or create your own.

Are there any companies that have invested in hosting Lemmy/ other fediverse servers?

Yes. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Facebook federating their Threads services. I'm sure that there are others.

“MAGA is now in control of the Republican Party!!” Greene wrote on X

Missed opportunity if the Dems don't share this to energize their base.

It's not clear why the man wanted so many vaccinations or how he obtained them.

Schober and the team compared the man’s immune responses—measured by his blood antibody levels, the first line of defense against a virus, and T cell levels, which are responsible for the body's longer-term response—to those of a control group of 29 people who had received three COVID-19 shots.

“His immune system was neither positively nor negatively affected," says Schober.

I fixed the article. Somebody accidentally added a bunch of crap that provided no meaningful information.

Yeah, kinda. Except that the laws already exist. So somebody ineligible could fight to be on the ballot (or somebody else could fight to have them removed), which would result in a court case. Which is what just happened.

If SCOTUS had decided to hear Trumps immunity arguments sooner rather than later than there would be a chance of him being ejudicated of insurrection before the election. Until that verdict, he remains eligible since Congress failed to impeach him when they had the chance.

The constitution lists the following 3 criteria for running for president.

• Be a natural-born citizen of the United States
• Be at least 35 years old
• Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years

Your kid could run if / when they meet these criteria, but not your dog.

The constitution also defines citizen as "persons", which would further disqualify your dog.

I don't think that sex can be determined until after the 7th week. Did Alabama just embrace non-binary identifications for children?

I think this line hints at it the underlying motivation.

A national poll conducted in late 2022 found that 4 out of 10 Americans believe society has become too "soft and feminine."

Basic mysogyny to have a negative and / or "less than" mentality around women. I think a lot of males don't consciously realize how much they marginalize and dehumanize women but are desperate to avoid being treated or thought of in the same manner. But that's just an opinion based on zero research on the topic.
