That is very good to know about the high heat model. Thank you.

It's a Carrier 38MARB Performance Heat Pump, and it SAYS it's rated at 100% efficiency down to 5 deg F but I can tell you from experience that it starts buckling below freezing. I have monitored it over a whole winter season and when we hit the 20s it starts running defrost cycles every 15-20 minutes. Each cycle takes about 5-10 minutes to defrost. It's not able to keep the room warm.

Granted, this is a 500 sq ft room with a wide opening to the next room and a 25' ceiling. I don't think it was a great use-case for heating in general. For cooling, this thing is irreplaceable. It barely breaks a sweat and uses almost no energy, while keeping the room at any low temperature I set it to. I've yet to see it have any issues cooling, even when it's 90F and humid outside.

It's a Carrier 40MAHB

Yes we actually can’t even run our heat pump mini-split below 40, it runs too many defrost cycles and can’t heat the room. We installed a wood pellet stove to use for those temps.

I actually think they are currently all going south. This increase in ads is just one part of the fall I think.

This is a great example of how America gets pinned for anything remotely “capitalist” just because of feelings. At least you looked this one up.

This is nothing about winning or losing or not feeling special. It’s not always rude to bring the conversation back to you, but often when someone is telling a story it’s respectful to keep the conversation about their story until they’re done. Then they will extend you that curtesy. But the conversation didn’t start with your story or interjection, it only popped into your head because someone else is talking. Next time, you can start the conversation about your story and the listener will let you finish.

Kids go to school to learn tho, is it not reasonable to expect it to be free from sexual distractions, especially for teenagers? It’s harder to learn in environments like that, just like it’s hard to work a professional job.

This is definitely not the universal term all americans would go by. Many even find it offensive.

Personal data isn’t only used for ads. In this case a users watching history can be sold especially if it’s connected in some way to a demographic profile. There could be many more ways to monetize many other things the user does.
