Only in certain climates though. Heat pumps typically perform poorly in colder climates where it's difficult to extract heat from low ambient outdoor temperatures. I work in HVAC and we almost never use them here in Denver because you

I agree. An influx of tv show quotes without any additional thoughts or insights would make this site feel too much like the worst parts of Reddit.

While the app optimization may have played a small part, I know for a fact that when I updated my iPhone 6 to IOS 11 it basically became unusable until a whole year later when they released IOS 12. I upgraded to the 8 during this time and r

"The particular race showcased in the video is between an older Tesla Model S and a new, modified Nissan LEAF PLUS" Doesn't really seem like a fair comparison, regardless of what the subtitle says.

I worked at one of these companies a few years ago in the department that dealt with spammers. The volume of attempted spam from these free (and low tier) plans was absolutely staggering.

That's where I notice them as well. I haven't seen it recently, but I recall a few years ago there was a highway around here (Denver) that was asphalt for the two leftmost lanes with a concrete slow lane that semi trucks were supp

Freeze/thaw cycles seem to absolutely destroy the few segments of concrete roads we have around here. They don't seem to last more than 2 winters.

Although most modern roads do tend to use petroleum products, the asphalt is actually remarkably sustainable as almost all of it is recycled: http://www.asphaltpavement.org/recycling . It seems like it would be tough to move

How is is not? Many colleges now have more administration staff than education faculty... I know that at my university they constructed a massive new building to house their growing administrative staff.

I cooked up some beyond patties from the grocery store and they stayed red for me. I did attempt to cook them the same as I would a meat patty though. Seems like there's a technique to cooking them well

I was homeschooled until sophomore year of high school. While there were certainly some benefits and I don't totally resent my upbringing, I do feel like I've had to work extra hard to develop my social skills. I know dozens of ot

Are you proposing a secondary level of insurance for a failing primary insurance system? Won't that just make it worse?

I really enjoy reading through the CAIC technical write ups after an avalanche accident. As a back country skier, these reports help me make educated decisions about risk in an inherently dangerous sport.

That might be the case but individuals are still free to refuse to buy items from amazon. I know that they won’t fail anytime soon because of AWS but I absolutely refuse to buy any items from their store because 7/10 times it’s garbage
