As extreme weather events happen more frequently AC is needed in places that previously only had gas fired furnaces. Central heating systems can be replaced with heat pump and supplemental resistive coils.

"Governor Janet Mills announced that Maine has, two years ahead of time, surpassed its goal of installing 100,000 new heat pumps by 2025, a milestone that represents significant progress in reducing Maine’s reliance on heating oil, lowering heating costs, and curbing harmful carbon emissions.

To continue Maine’s momentum, Governor Mills also unveiled a new target: installing another 175,000 additional heat pumps in Maine by 2027, thereby bringing the number of heat pumps installed in Maine homes, businesses, and public buildings during her time in office to 275,000.

If this target is achieved, Maine would have more than 320,000 heat pumps in total installed across the state.

Heat pumps can be thought of as temperature recycling machines. They are filled with refrigerant fluid and contain a compressor, and they work by extracting excess heat and moving it around, either in or out of a house depending on whether it’s hot or cold.

It’s believed they work best in hot weather, but in February, Maine’s temperatures in some places plummeted during a cold snap to -60°F. Efficiency Maine, which aided in the state’s adoption of heat pumps by organizing rebates for customers under the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, did a survey of owners they had helped the previous year.

Many of [the heat pump owners] reported they were comfortable and warm, and offered to bring up the fact that by February they had already saved hundreds of dollars on home heating systems, over boilers, gas furnaces, and heating oil.

“We are setting an example for the nation,” said Mills at the announcement event. ​“Our transition to heat pumps is… curbing our reliance on fossil fuels, and cutting costs for Maine families, all while making them more comfortable in their homes—a hat trick for our state.”

The transition began in 2019 with bipartisan support of the Legislature, when Governor Mills enacted laws setting ambitious targets for transitioning to renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

Actually really love that The Fifth Season’s world doesn’t have a word for polyamory because watching Syenite’s confusion about what to call her relationship is hilarious. She sexually despises the man she had a baby with (Alabaster), she loves another man, Innon, and Innon loves her and Alabaster. Plus both Syenite and Alabaster get turned on while watching Innon have sex with the other one. And they were all taking care of their son together!

The 13 full and fragmentary projectile points, razor sharp and ranging from about half an inch to 2 inches long, are from roughly 15,700 years ago Which is 3,000 years older than the Clovis fluted points found throughout North America.

These slender projectile points are characterized by two distinct ends, one sharpened and one stemmed, as well as a symmetrical beveled shape if looked at head-on. They were likely attached to darts, rather than arrows or spears.

I theorize the reason "bottoms" appear more prevalent than "tops" on these types of spaces is that it is simply easier to be funny about being a bottom than about being a top without sounding like a sex offender

"uuuuu 🥺 pls cock me aaaaaaaa *runs into wall like Wile E Coyote running into his own tunnel painting*" easy as shit comedy

"I want to put my DICK in someone" whoa dude calm down, take it easy

Edit: I regret posting this tweet. I don't want to scare people into thinking being trans is too hard for them. It's not! If you are trans, transitioning is easy, literally just do the things that feel natural and good. And I love trans women and trans men and enbies and anyone who stands up and refuses to conform to societies expectations of gender. I love to see us thrive. I want to see you be happy in yourself. I wish that all of the girls and boys who didn't make it were still with us, because the world would be a much more wonderful place with them in it.

Inevitably this edit is going to reach a fraction of the audience who saw the tweet. But if you saw this, and it scared you, or worried you, please please don't let that fear stop you from being who you are. There are so many people out there who will love and appreciate you for who you are, so long as you keep going long enough to find them.

soooo, on a vacation trip a week ago, I stumbled over @xiranjayzhao's Iron Widow in a book shop in Copenhagen and devoured it last weekend. It was quite the fun read. (And I am not that inclined to mechs 😄 but the rage filled female power fantasy and the setting felt rather refreshing to me) And after finishing the book I had to get at least some art out of my system. As usual it didn't end up what I really intended it to be in my head initially, but also, as usual it has to suffice for now or I'll never post it.

I feel like we need to acknowledge that while the lord ruler was a cunt, he did have some kickass branding.

Obligator is such a good title? and like Canton of Orthodoxy and shit is so fucking metal.
