  • Heatpumps are not some sort of witchcraft, we’ve had refrigerators for like a century. They are a heatpump system.

    People think refrigerators create cold inside. You don’t magically make cold out of thin air, that would go against laws of thermodynamics. They actually just pump the heat out of the inside of the fridge and release it via heatsink on the back (or from the sides on newer models). It’s why they are called “heat pumps” coz they pump the heat out of something. And if you reverse the system, they just do the opposite, they bring heat inside and release cold on the outside, which is what we usually use for heating.

    They make no sense on the grand scheme, but they work really well in enclosed environments where each side of it is separate from the other. Except in heatpump tumble dryers where they actually work great connected. Hot side evaporates moisture from clothes which then condenses on the cold side of the heatpump. All in a single enclosed loop.

    In my country you get almost 1 month of vacation time with extra days depending on work (I work Saturdays too so I get extra 4 days because of it) of which it’s actually mandatory that you take 2 weeks in one go so you really unplug yourself from work. The rest is as you please.











  • All the car reviewers are raving about “affordable” EV’s that are anything but affordable. Not to mention devoid of basic shit and 3/4 of them don’t even have heatpump, which is so critical when batteries are already shit because they are “affordable”. I’m not even asking for luxury shit, but heatpumps should really be a standard on any EV. Especially since I live in climate where we have winters.

    Cars that fall into “affordable” group like Dacia Spring, Hyundai Inster, Citroen eC3, all these are tiny cans devoid of basic creature comforts found on hatchbacks from years ago. And they still aren’t cheap and they always advertise them with government “eco” grants that are at least in my country so stupid you can’t even expect them (you need to pay full price and then HOPE there are still open eco grants that you can even get back as a refund). How stupid is that? If there was a guaranteed one that it would be deducted from full price when paying for the car, I’d potentially consider for an EV. I can’t gamble a fucking 3000-5000 € price difference, that’s a lot of money.


  • “Affordable” will cost 30 fucking thousand dollars and be devoid of any basic shit until you slap another 5 to 8 grand on it. That’s over 26.000 € assuming it’s price with VAT which probably isn’t. For this tiny little narrow trash can. Sorry, what? Since when is 26k € “affordable”? Just few years ago my parents bought Hyundai Tucson, not even the entry model, for less. And it’s a proper sized SUV. We never called that one “affordable” while costing less and you at least know why it cost that much. Because it’s a big car with quite a lot of things you could even call luxury.

    It’s just absolutely insane how everyone is throwing around “cheap” and “affordable” on tiny overpriced shit cars. It’s madness.
