Key to this is identical ducts socks. No more sorting

When I was looking at new heat pumps the hybrid ones were between 500 & 1000 more than the equivalent electric ones.

It's not a sperate unit, it just has a gas heater in place of the electric supplemental coils.

There are heat pumps now that use gas to do the supplemental heat. Those are the best possible option. They are equally efficient to a gas furnace when supplementing, and even cheaper when not.

Interesting. A close friend is an engineer who designs HVAC systems (industrial but regardless knowledgeable).

He's told me that the heat pump would pull more power on those days than an equivalent electric only system.

My heat pump definitely uses a lot of power when it's cold.

I wish I had access to the gas based supplemental heating for it. Economically that seems like the best option.

The argument is bullshit in totality. But... When the supplemental electric heating coils come on, it is less efficient ON THAT DAY, than the alternative electric options. But, like I said, in totality, it's more effective over a month, and certainly better over the course of a year. It's a matter of people with an agenda cherry picking the 9 days a year in which it is less efficient and pretending that the other 354 days don't count.

That ended in 1986

Actually, before 1986 and the Hughes Amendment, anyone could buy an automatic weapon in Walmart (idk if Walmart sold them, but legally they could). After 86 they became effectively impossible to get (takes months for extensive background checks and costs more than a car)

Uh... All I see when I Google that is old porn starring some guy named Mario Salieri

No, it's like Dunkin' CEO saying that donuts are bad for you... Much worse than personally not liking them

I bought the Xeperia 1iii for exactly this reason...and it was the worst phone I've ever owned.

The camera sucks, the phone froze all the time, many apps were incompatible.

It was a nightmare. I wanted so badly to love it and I tried and tried for 9mo, and the traded it in for a Pixel 7 pro.

IDK if I can trust Sony again, but I really want the SD card and headphone jack.
