You can see the traffic on the Mississippi, from downtown Memphis, you rarely see the river without some barges.

Plus it's below zero in Iowa. I would have stayed home too.

I like the idea of heat pumps for efficiency, but I fear I would be like you. I'm in a mild climate and my (gas heat) winter utility bills are so low already I have a feeling a more efficient heat pump would actually cost more to run.

If you live in a place that rarely stops below 40F, it's not worth the extra cost of bringing a gas line into the house, just use electricity.

However I'm right in the middle of that patch of the south and have gas heat and water heater. I'm looking into a heat pump for my next one, but gas is way cheaper than electricity here, so we'll see...

Check out Scott Manley and Everyday Astronaut on YouTube for stuff about rockets and launches.

For astronomy, check out Dr. Becky.

Lemmy and kbin are two different pieces of software that both implement the activitypub protocol in a way that they can federate with each other. So it's not just a different UI on top of Lemmy backend (which is also possible).

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

Which originates from Cazelline, named after the businessman who patented it, which quickly morphed into gasoline, but not because of anything to do with gas as a state of matter, as far as I can tell.
