Making something obviously shameful is to do so with reason. Telling people they are stupid and being manipulated is not people reacting by digging in, they are just responding to personal attacks. That falls to self-defense. Rational discussions about your own beliefs give others a chance to accept them. Trying to force them is just… Well… Facisim.

Most people I meet seem reasonable until they get behind a keyboard… Or a wheel.

Wait, how can something be greater than a 1:1 energy transfer?

Pretty sure electric translates to heat at a 100% efficiency rating, but that’s not considering the 30% or w/e origin of that energy. But I digress, how do you get over 100% returns on your energy?

I believe they go over 80% just not in the traditional style. Rocket stoves, come to mind.

This is how I’ve felt for every president we’ve had since (and including) Clinton… Which really is only because he’s the first president I was old enough in which to be aware. I’m sure further back was just as bad in their own ways.

Things off the top of my head:

Clinton - sex stuff.

Bush - Oh so many things. His bumbling… His weapons of mass destruction stuff…I mean, if they are so bad, why can we have them, but they can’t? I digress.

Obama - Authorizing terrorist attacks on Pakistan, also the failed health care reform.

Trump - Well… well… I honestly couldn’t much pay attention to what he was on about through the non-stop assalt he had from our media (also life stuff kept me pretty distracted those four years). But he was certainly one to rock the system.

Biden - Wow. The Ukraine/Biden(and family) stuff, the China/Biden(and family) stuff all the stuff happening while he was a VP… His bumbling is even worse than Bush’s was.

Yea, we’ve had a pretty embarrasing run of presidents in my lifetime. I know there are a few things Trump and Obama did in which I approve… But it’s few… Oh so few. The rest though… Nope.

Oh, and, I’m not so sure about Clinton’s races, I was too young, but all the folks that came in second to all these presidents? Not exactly great alternatives to what we got.

EDIT: Fix Spacing.

Thank you.

Ah, that makes sense.

But that aside, 300% of what? 300% of electric without the heat pump? It’s also my understand that heat pumps aren’t that great for heating if they are basic above ground units. Have to be the extra expensive dug in ones.

Oh, I don’t know about that. I think Musk as a unique ability to spend money.

Ah thanks for the response!

I was actually thinking it as something like: For every 1btu produced by a standard electric heating unit, 3btu of heat would be produced by a heat pump.

Which, is basically what I understand you to claim. Every 100 watts of energy generates the equivalant of 300 watts of energy.

Space pen perhaps? I think they are all metal… But it’s been a while since I’ve looked at a cart.
