Yes, technically an air conditioner is a type of heat pump, but it only goes one way, making it half as efficient as a heat pump which can provide both heat and cooling. Modern standard heat pumps can provide heat in as little as 15-30F.

Such a beautiful morning!

Is Deaf Pup Culture real? Yes. But finding community is hard. I worry it could disappear. I'm creating content to build a bridge for disabled pups and keep our culture alive. Your shares help! 🐺🤟 #pups #pupplay #deaf #deaffurry #asl #pupplaycommunity #disability

A private corporation is building a sloth zoo in Orlando & marketing it as a conservation experience supporting wild sloths. Except they are filling their zoo by kidnapping wild sloths from rainforests in Guyana. They have taken 69 sloths & more than 31 are already dead. It’s still moving forward

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

@roaminglegendary.bsky.social Which Pikachu are you today? 🤭 youtube.com/shorts/cLZsl...

Was caught fondling multiple balls over the weekend.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

While I would love this to be true, this account has very little interaction previous to this post, on top of that neither Laguna Beach, CA or FL have airports, so there would be no way to determine this from a flight. This post seems to be the only source for this claim.

Pastors working for ICE Sex workers running mutual aid for immigrants Which one looks more like Jesus???

This is a COMPLETE FUCKING LIE. The “officer” is not harmed, he’s literally on video walking around the scene afterwards yelling and ordering people around. He was not in the path of the car. It was 6 FUCKING SECONDS between orders and shots fired. Fuck this man. Fuck his supporters. Fuck ICE.

The amount of time and effort that goes into drawing comics and graphic novels is insanely huge and needs more respect! I've read through entire webcomic runs in only a couple of days, but that took the artist 10 years to create.

Necks also! Elbows! Etc! Especially after rugby practice!

when its definitely not a hostage situation

can’t help but notice it’s ‘they’ when a single mother might manage to use SNAP benefits for food that actually tastes good but it’s ‘we’ when a handful of ketamine addicts wanna ruin the economy

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history. Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame. It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems! Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

@hankgreen.bsky.social released a video overview on the current SNAP situation and what we can do. youtu.be/HwLaKBHIT7w?... Please consider donating to Feeding America, they are partly federally funded but also take donations. They work with many smaller local food banks. www.feedingamerica.org

This morning I woke up to being accused of mansplaining, and frankly, it was the beginning to what has been a pretty shit day. I don't mansplain. I am, however, nuerodivergent, definitely ADHD and likely on the spectrum somewhere. I genuinely love researching complex topics and situations.

Disney+ will remain cancelled. Trust has to be rebuilt, and I'm not optimistic.

Just more evidence that establishment Dems have little interest in actually making the world better. The Searchlight Institute is being funded by several "progressive" billionaires, basically people who want to keep their tax cuts but don't want the full fascist to win because bad for business.

It seems the first episode of #StarTrekScouts (1st pic) has finally revealed what the rubber ducky rooms on the USS Enterprise-D (#StarTrekTNG ⬇️) and USS Cerritos (#StarTrekLowerDecks ⬆️) can (or in this case cannot) be useful for. Check it out! 😂 #HappyStarTrekDay! www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Kv...

"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers

my mom to my kid: have you ever actually dialed a phone? my kid: yeah! I did it in a museum 💀

Omg, leave the poor man alone! He's been through enough! Absolutely disgusting!

How much for nectarines ? Here in Scotland we get them for approx $1 for ten and we don't even grow the damn things , Americans you are getting ripped off bigly

Apparently helping crypto bros avoid accountability in a court of law for cash is a cause “near and dear” to Andrew Cuomo’s heart. It actually makes all the sense in the world. www.amny.com/news/cuomo-p...

@microsoft.com Making some awesome life decisions here... Also, if Grok shows up on my personal or work computers, I'll step up finding a way to replace Windows with a different operating system.

The Polari Prize issued a statement saying it believes its longlistees can hold “different positions on substantive issues.” This is like long listing a racist with authors of color then telling everyone it’s a mere “different position on a substantive issue”. Trans people are a fact. Not an “issue”

Just saw the polari prize statement on their long list. How in 2025 an LGBTQ+ organisation can be defending John Boyne, a transphobe who picked a fight with the Auschwitz Memorial, is beyond me. The bar to be better is near the center of the Earth

DRAGONFLIGHT (1978) Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30" For the first book in Anne McCaffrey's now legendary Dragonriders of Pern series, I wanted to create a literal visualization of the title. I selected an aerial point-of-view and tilted the horizon to simulate the dizzying sensation of flight. 1/4

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

Oh look, advocating modern day slavery, awesome....

It's kinda weird that NBCNews.com has yet to even mention that a bunch of ICE/DHS agents in full military gear showed up at MacArthur Park in LA, did a walkthrough of the park with their own media people filming. And then left when confronted by the Mayor. That was three hours ago.

….what.

On week three of reducing my Wellbutrin down to 300mg. First week didn't feel much. Last week spent most of it under a layer of hypersomnia. So far this week is feeling pretty good! More talkative, more engaging, seems to have a better range of emotions.

Seen some talk about how some blocks are breaking the Hinderstream flow. For those that may be impacted, I want to remind you of this feed. While the feed does not display it all as a single thread, it should be picking up any post that is a part of the Hinderstream. May help.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed. You're a California, Bay Area representative, and frankly, I expected better than you making crap up to smear Mamdani. Us voters across the nation are watching this unfold, and we won't forget who chose to side with the rich and powerful.

Even if they did actually leave, it's not like there wouldn't be someone more than willing to take their place. Cites have high housing demand (I just wish they'd build more of it so it wasn't so damn expensive).
