True, but this was in kandahar, I expect not much as changed....Except perhaps the selection.

Used to be? As late as 2011 I saw entire businesses dedicated to selling pirated movies.

Oh, I don't know about that. I think Musk as a unique ability to spend money.

Ah thanks for the response!

I was actually thinking it as something like: For every 1btu produced by a standard electric heating unit, 3btu of heat would be produced by a heat pump.

Which, is basically what I understand you to claim. Every 100 watts of energy generates the equivalant of 300 watts of energy.

Ah, that makes sense.

But that aside, 300% of what? 300% of electric without the heat pump? It's also my understand that heat pumps aren't that great for heating if they are basic above ground units. Have to be the extra expensive dug in ones.

But what if you are an Italian cop?

Space pen perhaps? I think they are all metal... But it's been a while since I've looked at a cart.

I believe they go over 80% just not in the traditional style. Rocket stoves, come to mind.

Wait, how can something be greater than a 1:1 energy transfer?

Pretty sure electric translates to heat at a 100% efficiency rating, but that's not considering the 30% or w/e origin of that energy. But I digress, how do you get over 100% returns on your energy?

True, or you could enjoy the commute, in which case is a double win.

But yea, money is basically time debt owed to you by society, so if spending money to get time, it balances out. Kinda like how spending money on assets doesnt directly affect net worth.

Even just getting buy, working and earning from my own land sounds far better than just about anything else. Something special about work being part of life rather than something to seperate out.

I used to have to focus my attention on at least two things. Like 80/20 or I couldn't focus. That 20% would be enough to keep my mind from wandering from the 80%

But, whatever works for you.

Personally, I think going without always on access to the web would do be wonders.
