Natural gas furnaces still need electricity to run the blower and exhaust fans

The matches imitate a video game. Two TikTokers stream side-by-side, divided into "red" and "blue" teams. As a timer counts down from five minutes, they go to wild and kooky lengths to get their fans to send them these gifts.

The creativity to create things like these battles is interesting

We really are fleshy machines that just need our buttons pushed the right way to get us to obsess over almost anything

Maybe "lune" is how we are supposed to refer to moon people 🤷‍♂️

Amazon often states in their agreement with sellers that the manufacturer can't sell for less than Amazon.

Amazon also scrapes sites and lowers prices automatically when other places outprice them. It was interesting seeing this happen irl at a place I used to work at

Was it a baseball? It bounced quite a bit and looked a lot like a light rubber ball

The ball they used to demo it again this time probably wouldn't have broken a pair of reading glasses

It's what people thought modernity would look like back in the 70's and 80's - all function and no form

Or even worse - PIPs exist as a paper trail that that shows the employee knew they were on the chopping block

I've rarely seen people's PIP fairly evaluated; they are just fired at the end of the PIP term

"a bunch"?

Container ships can carry over 200K tons

How many mini split heat pumps and air exchangers did you put into your place

Overall, we should be net $5K with an installer because of rebates, but it's good to know cheaper alternatives are available

How does a mini split system work? Does it plumb into traditional ducting?

Edit: just looked them up. Also found out that a friend out East with an older, oil heater house (no central ducting) was quoted a mini split for their place at over $20K

Our place is a four bedroom, two storey with a basement. I wonder if a mini split with the requisite air handlers would be cheaper

On a side note, we have a West facing room with large windows that I have to run a portable AC and space heater in as it's temp is always extreme vs the rest of the house. A mini split just for that room would be great

I'm not sure, likely somewhere between 5-7 years.

We wouldn't have done it if our furnace wasn't shot. As a plus our A/C leaked it's freon in the winter, so replacing it was an improvement as well.
