TikTok has had a serious negative impact on kids attention spans. They’ve gotten so used to just scrolling past anything that bores them after 30 seconds, that they struggle with paying attention for 5 minutes.

I've also noticed a trend where they'll play the video at 2x. So everyone talks like a chipmunk.

Is that just electric bill? I assume you have electric heat? But either way that’s crazy!

Yup - all electric. Trane 18-20 SEER heat-pump set to 72 with a radiant heat pellet stove set to 80 in the basement.

And ... oh to be provided for ... must be nice to be able to take that for granted.

All by design

Or possibly one with green pepper and onions.
And a few cups of their Ranch

LETS HAAAAAAANG OUT

Yeah below 35-30 degrees heat pumps don’t really work that great. Electric heat sucks the energy.

Mine's good down into the low 20's and it's a 3 ton 14 SEER. It's cheaper to run than my 96 rated propane furnace at $3 per gallon.
(It'll call up the furnace if it struggles and the indoor temp drops a couple of degrees below the setting.)

But then I keep our thermostat at 67* and I've never had an electric bill reach $200, and usually well below.

Of course, I guess it matters what you pay for a kw/h of electricity

Plus a $330- delivery fee

That's less that we pay here by a significant margin.

Dang Lorien's Trail Cutlet just sold over in the Custom Knife sales thread

That was so tempting!
