Deep Geothermal goes deeeeeepppp to where there is a heat source that is replenished.

Shallow geothermal pulls heat where there is no replenishment, and you have to run it in reverse (use it as an AC in the summer) to swap out the heat. You can’t only pull heat out for shallow geothermal. You may be able to for a time, but also remember that heating for a house is pretty small overall.

It’s not the entire earth that is the heat sink, it’s a relatively short distance from the pipe. We don’t get the massive heat from the molten core at the surface.

You can run a geothermal loop in reverse and use the earth as a giant heat sink.

You need something to move the heat away, like water or air. Having something solid that just absorbs will reach its heat capacity pretty quick.

Sony owns Blu Ray tech but not DVD. DVD was industry consortium to prevent a repeat of the VHS and betamax war. Only lasted a generation unfortunately.

Every now and then I get a forum as a search result and they’re just so clunky. Replies are spaced out too much, no chains, everyone has a long winded signature phrase. I’m glad it went to this kind of format.

Drone maker DJI is based in China and controls over 70% of the world’s drone market share, a combination that threatens U.S. lawmakers. As we first reported in April, 6% of DJI stock lies in the hands of Chinese state-owned businesses, which has led to fears of Chinese government backdoors, national security risks, and other fears of Chinese surveillance using the company’s drones.

Elise Stefanik, the Republican representative from New York who sponsors the anti-DJI legislation, said of the drones, “DJI presents an unacceptable national security risk, and it is past time that drones made by Communist China are removed from America.” Of course, this unacceptable risk h

So do people care about not being able to understand lyrics? (I can rarely understand English ones anyway.)

“No one is allowed to deviate at all in the slightest bit ever, to the obvious bigger topic!!!”

The topic of oversized vehicles is not limited to trucks.

They stopped making Honda Fits (in North America) because there was no demand.

Different crash standards in US and Europe. Most companies don’t even bother getting cars tested (designed?) in both because the market demands are so different.

Don’t think it’s about privacy. It’s about that he wants money from openai because he tried to buy them out or something, or was involved a long time ago, or tried to get involved, or whatever, but he thinks he should have a big payday from it now that its stock is up.

I’m curious, how much does 911 dispatch rely on Google maps? (Street view at all?)

I wonder how many youth can’t do paper maps.
