Not all conspiracies are theories.

I did some more reading on this and it seems that you can avoid this issue on reversable heat pumps (ones that also work as air conditioners) by reversing the flow and using heat inside the house to melt the ice.

So it should always be at least a tiny bit more efficient than resistive electric heating unless its about -20C outside.

Air source heat pumps also have the problem that their (outdoor) radiators freeze is cold weather, so they have to run an electric heater (outdoors) to keep melting the ice.

This lowers their cold weather efficiency even more, I imagine it might even make it negative (You have to put more energy into stopping the radiator freezing then it can…[Read more]

That depends on the heat transfer coefficient, which is determined by the design of the heat pump, and mostly by the temperature and humitity of the air.

Under an ideal situtation the coefficient can be a 1:3 ratio, but that’s when the air has a lot of thermal energy to extract. That’s why they are used as air conditioners.

I ask you again, if…[Read more]

No, that isn’t how they work at all.

The function of a heat pump is to move thermal energy from one place to another.

To heat the inside of a house, they must move thermal energy from outside of the house. If it is cold outside (when you normally want heating) then there is not much thermal energy to pull from the air to move it inside.

Actually they are probably worse than normal electric heaters as the compressor (the thing that consumes most of the electric) would be outside of the house.

If you have an electric oven you might as well just use that as a heater.

My understanding is that air source heat pumps are more or less useless as heaters as when it is cold outside (when you usually would want heating) there is very little heat energy that can be extracted from the air.

They work fine as air conditioners, but for heating they aren’t much more efficent than a normal resisitive heater. You need ground…[Read more]

I don’t agree that being able to survive on your own is the correct criteria.

Humans don’t really meet that until at least the age of 3 years. You also raise issues about whether people in comas or other vegitative states have human rights or not, as they would be unabled to survive on their own.

Why?

It is very clearly murder at some stage of development.

I thought this debate is about at when that stage is, not if murder should exist or not.

I’ve seen some people say that post-natal terminations should be legalised, but I assume you are not one of these monsters. Would you agree that terminating a baby at 9 months is murder?

I don’t believe that parental status is termined by genetics.

This is what I have said in the past.

I believe the Texas law states it is illegal if a heartbeat can be detected, which is usually at 6 weeks.

I don’t nessersarily agree with this, your status as a human should be determined by the existance of a conciousness in some form, not by a heartbeat. If your heart stops due to a medical condition do…[Read more]

The life of this baby is not up for debate.

Not if I found out after about 8 weeks.

This baby was born prematurely at 24 weeks.

Apparently its perfectly okay to murder it.

Lunatics

Being raped isn’t a justification for murdering a child.

Shouldn’t really be controversial.

What is the purpose of the lockdown?

I thought it was to stop the virus from spreading.

Ok, i just imagined it then, clearly.

If it worked so well …. why is the virus spreading?

Those numbers seem to be quite old.

About 88% of people have had 1 dose and about 76% have had both.
