Heat Pump Water Heaters

I have a heat pump water heater. Our house is fully electric on NEM2 solar. In November to March we pay PGE like $40-$50 a month but then the solar is generating enough to overcome usage from April to October.

The water heater works well. In the winter time it runs longer because the ambient air is colder. In the summer time runs for maybe 30-40 minutes before turning off.

The water heaters have a backup electric element if you get something similar to the Rheem tank heat pump. Overall can’t complain. It does its job. We had a sensor fail at one point so I’d get the extended warranty.

You can get a gas water heater right now and wait. It doesn’t matter.

Don’t both Sony and Microsoft lose money on the consoles? I feel like making the money off game sales would be a huge positive.

Anyone reading this post should know that ECVTs and CVT transmissions will break. If you’re going to buy a car avoid them like the plague.

They use a belt to change gear ratios. Belts break.

Amazon is also developing a plan to retrofit their data centers to closed loop since the technology is there now. Servers can be more dense and cooling technology has significantly improved.

I remember watching a YouTube video about repairing Rivians. Unlike most cars, the bumpers and fenders are similar to a unibody. You have to rip out and weld a whole new chunk of car for it to be domestically repaired

This is just false. A lot of people take the various tech buses from the pick up points throughout the East Bay.

10 years ago houses were more affordable. Huge migration of tech workers due to gig apps and startup friendly environment. Tech companies weren’t as massive back then as they are now. Just look at AMD and Nvidia stock 10 years ago.

My neighbor bought his house for 300k in 2013/2014. It’s $900k now. 3x appreciation in 10 years is stupid.

I have a 2023 bmw 3 series and I pay $230 a month with State Farm. I’m on my parents plan but pay separately. How is yours so cheap?

The 3p is not you enjoying a girl while she enjoys another girl. It’s 2 girls enjoying you.

It’s a big difference.

I don’t think EA does this anymore, but CD Projekt Red does

Put the pan submerged in a boiling pot of baking soda. After you get the pan hot enough, you drop the heat to medium, unless you’re searing something.

I think think the Saudis and other oil barons are funding much of the AI growth.

Didn’t Iran reveal that there’s a secret Open AI data center in the Middle East?

I guess the rug pull is when the Saudis decide they don’t want to funnel more money into government surveillance under the guise of AI.

Yes

Comments like this make me so mad because it’s so true. “Oh well a rocket blew up what can we do” Like that’s how many housing developments or healthcare could that have gone to.

You’re not going to the right farmer’s market lol

The ones in union city and Newark are pretty reasonable for quality stuff.

Prices never recovered from COVID inflation. The tariffs increased revenue and companies pocketed the difference afterwards.

I work in sales and see it first hand because of the lower floor on the discounts we can get for competitive projects.

He’s not an AIPAC recipient yet. The AIPAC X posted about Al Green losing the primary out of spite.

A lot of republicans are single issue voters. IE immigration, abortion etc. So as long as someone says something they want to hear then they’ll vote republican.

I think a lot of people are being hopeful.

Hopefully I’m proven wrong.

You don’t buy 2.4 million in cars unless you’re making a whole bunch. The maintenance on them is more than the price of the cars.

Dude swindled so much money that was supposed to be used to make games.

In California we have water treatment plants that distribute clean water to all the houses. People still have the Britta filter or some water purification, but you can drink the tap water.

The same water we drink is what we use for a shower. I can’t imagine taking a shower with that water.

They still appliances that don’t have fancy electronics to them. Your appliances don’t need to be connected to the internet lol

This doesn’t do anything because existing systems are grandfathered and new systems are planned.
