Instead of ten fingers and two hands, just add an extra finger to each hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRjmRNsPl1M

Dividing by 10 is much more useful because you are using base 10. If you were using base 12, then dividing by 12 would be much more useful.

Base 12 is better than base 16 because then you have halves, thirds and quarters.

The first gradual phase should be to give everyone two extra fingers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRjmRNsPl1M

Base 12 is better than base 8 or base 16 as it divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6. Having halves, quarters and thirds is nice.

30 is just as divisional as 60 as it is also divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, but 12 x 5 = 60 so I guess that's why they used 60 instead of 30.

Only one gene affects whether you have 10 or 12 fingers and thumbs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRjmRNsPl1M If we can convince everyone to have 12 fingers, maybe we can convince them to switch to dozenal.

It was removed from AMO after it was already on the site. Maybe they didn't want to move it.

COP or CoP means co-efficient of performance. An electric heater has a CoP of 1. New heat pumps usually have a CoP of 4 or higher. My 11 year old heat pumps have a CoP of 3. This means they can produce 3 or 4 times as much heat as an electr

Most heat pumps mounts I've seen have rubber grommets but older heat pumps will make audible noise as they wear out.

This doesn't make any sense. All filenames were uppercase in DOS so having README in uppercase wouldn't distinguish it visually.

One reason is that the Baby Boomer generation is nearly 100% retired now and no longer making big money and paying big income and sales taxes. This means government revenues are down, right at the same time that the Baby Boomers will begin

You don't have to have 200A service. 100A can charge a car and it doesn't have to be annoying if you have a smart electrical panel which can prioritize charging with clothes dryer and stove usage. If the car is charging and you de

As EVs become more common, at some point the landlords will start falling over themselves to install charging so they can get tenants.

You lose some range. How much depends on the brand/model of the vehicle. Some lose quite a bit, some lose hardly any. Of course, ICEVs lose quite a bit of range in cold weather too.

Does that really mean much when it's factored over the lifetime of the plant? Wind has to be replaced much more often so you're causing CO2 repeatedly.

Where do you store solar and wind energy for when the sun is down and the wind isn't up?

Natural gas doesn't pollute much less than coal or oil. The CO2 is less but there is also the methane. Natural gas is methane gas. It's not a transition fuel. Calling it 'natural' is a scam to sell methane gas.
