  • Maybe give me the benefit of doubt and don’t interpret things? I meant that the service was already paid for by the sender and now somebody has to pay again? Seems strange to me at least..

  • Oxford study proves heat pumps triumph over fossil fuels in the cold
  • If you are comparing gas to heat pump efficiency, it is more like 85-90% vs 350-500% efficiency.

    Because in the gas furnace efficiency they only calculate the efficiency of burning gas but miss to include the auxiliary electricity that is needed to run the system.

    In a heat pump system everything (running fans etc.) is included in the efficiency calculation. The efficiency itself is depending on the source of the heat pump. In a really harsh climate a ground / geo thermal source might make sense. But usually the average temperature is higher than you might think.

    And for the environmental effect: modern gas power plants run at 50-60% efficiency so with a heat pump you are always burning less gas even if the gas plant is less efficient then the gas furnace.

    It would be interesting to know what extreme cold means.

  • 'The GDP gap between Europe and the United States is now 80%' [Paywall]
  • Okay lets see. What I meant is: at its time, the Ariane 5 was a great program. Now is a different time. Now we have got SpaceX (and RocketLab etc.) and at the same time the Ariane 6 is already outdated before it is ever launched. At the same time, the Ariane 6 program has run into major delays, so it is not even clear when the first launch will be – probably 2024.

    Reusable rocket technology is where it's at if we as Europeans want to stay relevant in the commercial launch sector.

  • 'The GDP gap between Europe and the United States is now 80%' [Paywall]
  • I somewhat agree. The only way forward in most areas would be European projects. But we are lacking competent and agile institutions. They got so big and bloated – that for me it looks like they are not able to reform themselves. So first we need good (european) organizations, then we can pour the money over them..

  • Schools in France send dozens of Muslim girls home for wearing abayas
  • Yes of course, it is just a piece of clothing. A piece of clothing that women are forced to wear in public in the women's rights loving state of saudi arabia. It is not about very revealing clothing, you are intentionally missing the point here. It is specifically about this piece of religious clothing.

  • All your base are belong to us
