Enslavement happened with the iPhone. Then when android got good and cheap. Then with tablets when they got cheap. Now we're here and Ai is getting good, not cheap, never will be cheap but it's getting good.
and how many to cool a house and how much power does each draw.
Based on power consumption and practicality:
Well obviously it would take more a.c.'s to cool a house but again it depends on needs. If the house was a single floor unit it wouldn't need a mini split. It could use a window a.c. which can be 120v; mini splits are 220v-240v. It's probably a little more on volts but that's if both are ran at the same time. If you're in a main room while the main bed room AC is off you're not consuming twice as much power.
But the more cassettes with mini splits the more power you draw, the more you have them on the more energy you're consuming regardless.
So if you have two cassettes running 4 units, you're running 2 zones per cassette at 220v-240v each cassette plus the refrigerant, plus the amount of time on which can get to over 1,000w each easily. How they make it cost effective, idk. Maybe city programs but they cost 4 times as much as my window ac, the unit not the amount of money to run them.
I'm only going to use my AC 4 months out of the year, if that. It doesn't seem worth drilling into my house for 4 months out of the year.
In my honest opinion, I believe you can lower power consumption by not using an ac as much and by not having as many but you gotta do it right based on living needs otherwise you're gonna have a heat stroke.
You don't need to cool an entire house unless you have a family or pets and even still you can get away with using a 24" pedestal fan with using the AC you can cool an additional 900 sq ft on top of what the ac is providing in the living room.
I mean yeah a mini split is the modern option but not everyone wants to drill into their homes.
It's all about needs vs generalizations. I don't need to cool every room in my house and I can get away with using one whirlpool brand window ac in my living room and sending the cool air through my house with a penguin pedestal fan from Ocean State job lot.
Yeah it sucks having to put it in the window every year and it sucks bringing the fan down and walking by it but I have a natgas boiler based steam radiator system with heat in every room and given how the winters in New England are harsher than the summers, I think I'm okay.
If you can research what a tool can cut into and then figure out the material of the metal poles they put the cameras on; it's all a rabbit hole of learning.
But we figured out that if you melt American cheese with Mexican cheese and let it harden over the Trump phone like epoxy resin, you age it with your own feces and then you smear it on the side of the Lincoln memorial and scream RUSSIA FOR Life while shoving a baguette in your ass, you know what?, I forgot where I was going with this
If she ran and won it might not be a bad thing. I don't really want her to be president but she has 10 years of experience in government and is genuinely for the late millennial/zillenials. She seems like she's not gonna fuck us over.
Idk maybe if she works with Bidens old handlers she might be good.
I don't want another republican, definitely not JD Vance. It's supposed to be Gavin vs JD but if AOC is on the ballot, she will most likely win due to her age and the state of the country.
I use Spotify or torrent albums. I'll buy an album every now and then to support the people I listen to but I mainly just download discographies. Donald Fagen is still singing IGY with or without my money.
And you then prefer not to buy anything off of Shein or Temu and buy something worth it like at the very least Gildan Heavyweight 50/50 cotton poly blend shirts.
Edit: I hate that I chuckle at the modern politically correct term of, "fast fashion," instead of, "sweatshop worker."
I like dickies for socks and belts I used to wear carthartt jeans and light jackets back in 2011 but they got expensive.
I live from gildan to champion I stopped wearing Nike because fashion clothes suck I switched entirely to function clothes and those are durable and last long. On average, I wear gildan work shirts, wrangler jeans and fitville non slip leather sneakers, fruit of the loom underwear and dickies socks and belt. Eyebuydirect glasses and China brand shorts, if I'm wearing shorts and sweaters are the toughest thing to find that will last long.
Ethical clothing is twice as expensive. Usually for less fabric too because of the material and "less material = ethical" but you pay for that privilege too. You pay for less of everything.
You're not just paying for the name, you pay for quality. Hoodies should be heavy, sweatpants shouldn't have a draw string that will tear untieing it, t-shirts shouldn't* shrink after the first wash and underwear should last three months before it bunches. Socks shouldn't show your feet.
