Comment Re: Nope, can't (Score 1) 243

I can see my grand parents, it just doesn't come in the form an image⦠hard to explain. I absolutely remember what they looked like. I certainly dream and see images in my dreams but have been aware my whole life the colors are different extremely muted. Also, in the summary the author explains how they are surprised by how they look in their reflection I have the same experience. I am in a technical numbers intense field. I had always been amazed at peopleâ(TM)s mental math skills and had always thought if I was able to actually see the numbers in my head Iâ(TM)d be so much better but I cannot form an image of them⦠I have to keep repeating the numbers to keep them in memory haha. Thanks goodness for spreadsheets.

Iâ(TM)m in Canada and border Maine. We donâ(TM)t have access the cheap gas here, so all new build go heat pumps. Houses, condos, apartments, they are everywhere. I have lived in 3 different houses with different heat sources: All electric baseboard, air-to-air HP, and geothermal heat pump. For me in NB the A2A energy cost was about half of all baseboard (2x more efficient) and the geothermal was about half the A2A (4x more efficient). Most folks go A2A mini-splits though due to how cheap they gotten last 10 years.

You gotta admit they can build those things fast. So much faster than other launch companies that the regulator canâ(TM)t keep up (not that they are ever quick). Suspect the will be under a lot of pressure to rubber stamp this again (which they most likely will), which makes the whole process pointless.

Comment Re: Geothermal Pumps are great but expensive (Score 1) 203

Unfortunately we donâ(TM)t (apparently) have a stable or wide-spread NGas supply here with wild demand pricing during the winter which I think has scared a lot of folks away. I recall seeing somewhere that the typical home here was heated using baseboard electric, so the cheapest upgrade path for most is minisplit like Maine.
