Yeah, the early primaries really do benefit establishment democrats, and it seemingly painted a damning picture for Bernie. I think if we had synchronized primaries, this benefit would be much smaller and Bernie would've had a significant shot.

COPD fucking sucks, my dude. Living longer isn't the goal, living comfortably is and being unable to breathe all the time is the worst.

I love this logic because capitalism has made it its job to kill any competition prove the alternatives nonviable. Chile was trying something truly revolutionary, a fully democratic based socialism, and the CIA aborted the attempt and installed a capitalism friendly dictatorship.

You won't catch me simping for Authoritarians or anything, but when the only other mode of operation is a military strong enough to resist the CIA, there's going to be a bias towards Authoritarian based alternatives. Convenient, if you're trying to paint the alternatives as nonviable.

chuckleslord , 2 months ago to solarpunk memes in The efficiency is bonkers

I mean, isn't the colloquial use of efficiency mean "the best you can do"? I openly admit, I'm splitting hairs over a technical term being misused and that shit usually doesn't matter in the world. But in this case, isn't it also incorrect from the most common understanding of the term?

And I obviously disagree with the statement that it's very clear contextually what they mean. Every time I hear it said it makes my brain break as to how that's even possible. It's cause it's not possible, it's relating two terms that aren't related to get an impossible answer.

That being said, I'm autistic so I might be making a mountain out of a molehill. In fact, I'm certain of it. So, it's completely cool that you disagree, it just irks me.

chuckleslord , 2 months ago to solarpunk memes in The efficiency is bonkers

I hate that this became a part of the marketing. It's not more than 100% efficient. It's more than 100% efficient if you compare how much energy the pump uses to heat a room (electric energy) to how much energy it takes to heat that room (heat energy). But those aren't the terms that we use to determine efficiency. Efficiency is determined by how much energy it takes to perform the task using the same method we're currently using in some "perfect" system (no energy loss due to friction, heat transfer, etc) and dividing that by how much energy we actually used.

A heat pump isn't heating the air, so it's unfair to determine efficiency by how much energy it takes to heat the air. It's moving heat energy from a low energy area (outside) to a higher energy area (inside) and that heat energy, plus some waste heat from running the compressor, is what's actually heating the room. But that isn't more than 100% efficient. In fact, heat pumps have grown in efficiency significantly over the last few decades because they haven't reached 100% efficiency.

It is accurate to say that any heat pump is going to be more energy efficient than any other type of furnace, but that's because they're doing different things. Just like an LED is going to be more efficient than any other lighting in terms of energy use. Again, different things. Though the heat pump and LED are pretty similar in what they're doing.

It's not in an orbit. Well, it technically is, but it moved far enough away that that orbit no longer intersects with the solar system's SOI. That was the whole point of the voyager probes, to go out into deep space. That's why we sent them out with our mix tapes

Yeah, it's complete BS that the best looking windows, casement and awning, are almost entirely incompatible with window AC units!
