Well, “Humane” is an actual word… https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/humane

I’m reminded of a story a friend of my told. She had a doctors appointment and was waiting for her turn. There was an elderly Asian lady there waiting for a doctor, typing something in to an electronic translator. Then the translator blurted out: “Diarrhea!”.

I’m in the market for new car in the coming years. And right now Tesla Model Y really is the objectively best option for me. But I don’t want to give that fascist cunt one cent of my money, so I have to look elsewhere.

America, get your shit together. One thing to do is to always vote blue, in every election, all the time. Even if you personally dislike the candidate, and the GOP candidate seems so nice, vote blue. No, not voting at all is not an option.

It's time we cleanse the Earth of Meta and their filth.

Well, yeah. I should have typed "two types of heating-systems that use heat pumps" instead of "two types of heat pumps". I know all this. And no, it's not hundreds of degrees in the ground. But the latent heat can still be used for heating. Just like you can heat your home with outside air...

Hey, I appreciate that and you seem ok. But way too often I see (or rather, hear) these people who get in their noise-makers, start it up, rev it couple of times and start going. And if they have to stop at an intersection, they rev it there as well. And as this often happens downtown, the sound...

Tracks are one things, public streets are another. And the latter is where bystanders get to “enjoy” these cars. And don’t get me started on motorcycles.

”In GT mode, the MC20 is almost too quiet, but Corsa will probably wake the neighbors” Am I the only one who hates these fucking morons with their sportscars, making a racket that basically is shouting “hey everybody, look at ME! I crave attention!”.

There are basially two kinds of heatpumps: air and geothermal. Air heatpumps extracts latent heat from outside air and pumps the heat in to the inside air (they can also run in reverse). Geothermal heatpumps extract latent heat from the ground and it's usually circulated in the floor. For...

You know I don't even know what you are trying to say anymore... The point of underfloor-heating is comfort and cheapness of operation. By comfort I mean that having a warm floor to stand on is very comfortable. By cheapness of operation I mean that you can keep the interior temperature lower...

There are solutions to nuclear waste. It can be stored underground (which is being done in Finland as we speak), or it could be reprocessed and reused. Now, you might disagree with those solutions, but they are solutions nevertheless. So, what about the waste from coal plants? Just pump it in...

There is no existing reactor at that site, it’s a brand new power plant. There’s two reactors in Loviisa and three in Olkiluoto. Hanhikivi would be brand new plant. And there’s a research reactor few kilometers from downtown Helsinki.

All the time. Does anone ever think about what to do with the waste coal plants spew? Yes, including radiation.

What do you mean by "well isolated house"? Well isolated house benefits all forms of heating, as in, it lowers the need for heating. And heat-pumps require less energy used for each unit of heat that you get. Reason for that is that it uses heat energy that already exists, whereas gas...

Gas generates CO2-emissions when burned (and methane-emissions during extraction). And efficiency of heat pumps are way, way better than gas, as it uses latent heat in the air (or ground), whereas gas generates 100% of the heat there and then. We have two heat pumps as our main source of...

In other words: morons.

When decision was made to shut down nuclear plants, why wasn't coal plants also shut down? Or why not starting with the coal plants and then moving to nuclear? I mean, we knew of climate change back then...

Looking at the stats right above your post, they have reduced hard coal use, while brown coal (lignite) has gone down slightly. And the fact remains that they should be eliminating coal as fast as possible, and after that's done, get rid of nuclear if they want. We have this thing called...

Heatpumps are a simple solution. Sure, some building might be more suitable for them than others. But installing them is super easy and can be done after the building has been built. They are net-efficient to about -20c (at that point it becomes more efficient to use direct electric resistive...
