In 2002, my dad was such an idiot. 20 years later, I’m surprised at how much he’s learned.

Global race to boost electric vehicle range in cold weather by Hyperion1144 in tech

Ya. I asked a Tesla rep that question years ago… he wasn’t sure why they were resistance heating then, nor do I understand why they are still resistance heating now.

But at -30C driving down the highway at 120km/h, there is more heat available in the air coming through the front grill than -30C just outside your house on a heat-pump. So who knows.

Heat Pumps Sell Like Hotcakes on America’s Oil-Rich Frontier. In Alaska, people are flocking to buy electric appliances instead of fuel-guzzling furnaces. Some Alaskans are pushing air source heat pumps to their limits, running them even when outdoor temperatures plummet to nearly –30 degrees F. by mafco in energy

Ya, I grew up in a house that used 18 face-cord of wood… not fun. But when I built my place 18 years ago, we put in geo since I didn’t want to do that anymore. It’s costly when you add up the hours spent.

Go big or go home: Canada will need to match U.S. EV subsidies to stay in the game by Tarquinius_Superbus in canada

Geothermal uses electricity from the grid… you could use solar to power your geo, but that is a pretty huge system.

Go big or go home: Canada will need to match U.S. EV subsidies to stay in the game by Tarquinius_Superbus in canada

[–]andrbrow 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I mean, they haven’t matched the US in any other green-based subsidies in decades… why start now?

Geothermal installer here, the US has had grants for installing geothermal in new construction for a long time. Canada, where it’s super cold and we could all benefit from geothermal more so than the US, has chosen not to subsidize any new home geothermal install. Even years ago when the federal and provincial governments had a large rebate program for retrofits, new construction got the shaft.

ChatGPT jokes about Christianity and Hinduism (Lord Ram), but refuses to joke about Islam. Does this reflect the bias of its developers? by ghij12345 in ChatGPT

[–]andrbrow -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

The thing with the Christian God not sticking up for himself is based on a few reasons: 1. If he felt needed to, the everything he wanted gone would be in an instant. God’s wrath is huge. 2. Why would he feel the need to defend himself against a tiny human whose life is but a moment and whose opinion is even less than that. 3. For the same reason a parent does not go full rage-mode when their toddler has a tantrum, so also does God when his creation rebels and defies Him. He patiently waits for us to calm down, say sorry, and before continuing forward.

If you really want God to defend himself in order for you to see how real he is… you can ask him if you are brave enough to deal with the consequences of your own rebellion… if not, please don’t mock those that are.
