I live in Michigan; it will be 34 tomorrow morning, and 68 tomorrow afternoon.
Our Daikin cold climate heat pump has no trouble keeping up, or maintaining temperature, even at sub-zero temperatures.
You are correct, they can not handle rapid heating demands, but I have just adjusted the programmable thermostat to account for longer heating times, so by the time I wake up, my house is nice and warm.

More important than the heat pump though, is that we had our exterior walls and attic space re-insulated, and that made a huge improvement.

With the added insulation, the heat pump is more than capable of keeping the house at 72 when it's sub-zero outside, and it can maintain a 68 in the summer when its 95 out.

One...Moment...Please...fetching the pie dish now.

Please do the needful. Good luck to any AI trying to translate that.

Nielsen uses audio watermarking, and a special microphone, to try determining what you are listening to, or at least they did a few years ago.

One of my friends was paid a stipend each month to wear a microphone clipped to his shirt, that tracked everything he watched.

Daisy better have ducks...

My third eldest, Larissa, did mention something about the ducks recently.

I giggle whenever the ducks show up.

These "communities" will quickly become porn repositories. Telegram has terabytes of it, all sorted by your particular tastes.

Or as Reddit likes to call then, Herman Cain Awards.
They at least censor out identifying information, but they are satisfying to read.

Ok, now throw the switch labeled "Macarena" https://xkcd.com/368/

Calvin called this 25 years ago!

Please continue. These are way more fun. I laughed just as hard as when Calvin and Hobbes were playing monopoly. They made their own chance cards to. One of them read as "Defraud the bank. Computer scam diverse assets into your account. Collect $5,000."

Low numbers, but you get the idea. Chance cards really can spice the game up a bit...maybe they could bring about national disasters that destroy hotels on your property.

I asked about that at the apple store. You can actually order the new laptop with the normal function keys instead of the dynamic touchbar from their website. It's on their website, and $400 cheaper than the first one with the touchbar.

USB and HDMI ain't happening though...

While this is unethical and dangerous to release to the wild, it is somewhat comical in that it encourages user to educate themselves on safe browsing practices.

It won't work, people will still lose files, and they will get angry, but it does bring up a good point...How do we educate the general public on safe browsing?
The average user won't go out and educate themselves. They might pick up a little if they get burned, but that's unlikely. This method forces them to stare at a screen and "read" the article, but a panicking user afraid of data loss is in no mood to be educated.

Should we thwapp them over the head? Should we beg and plead with them? Continue educating them? Or resign ourselves that it's a lost cause...

Most internet denizens don't want to hear about safe browsing ideas. Clicking on adds are bad. Movie streaming services hosted in Russia are probably full of malware. Rogue_One_free_HD1080p.exe is not what you think it is...I've explained it to friends, only to be back over, helping them recover from yet another mistake.

I personally like the bat idea...

I'm disappointed that ElementMcElementyface wasn't an option...
