It's totally fine if you have a good seasoning on there. The soap thing is largely a myth. I wash mine with soap every time I use it and it's still slick as ever

I definitely thought those were carrots. That certainly changes things

Maybe need to get induction instead of radiant? Induction is much more efficient.

How is it punishing customers? The rest of the article suggests it may improve things

“It speeds up the process at entry and speeds up the process at the checkout,” he said. “That’s what we believe and we’re going to pilot it.”

All space heaters operate at the same efficiency since they convert electricity to heat via resistance. You may have a small one and low electricity rates in your area to see a negligible change. Or maybe other uses went down and masked the increase from the space heater usage.

Insurance and property taxes are factored into the monthly payment, though it's not obvious from the meme

Thanks for sharing! These are indeed hard to get right and it's nice that you put your "failure" online. Thankfully the consolation prize for croissants that aren't laminated properly is delicious bread rolls, which I can say from experience.

Really exciting development for the climate change mitigation toolkit. Let's hope it's not too challenging or costly to scale up and deploy.

The recovery time, aka first hour rating, should be in the specs for the models to find one that suits your needs. There's more detailed research on them available as well if you're so inclined.

You can, but not as a heat pump so you wouldn't get all the efficiency gains and it will very often end up being more expensive to run than gas tankless in the near term.

I agree lawns are dumb but from an environmental perspective they can be net carbon sinks, which I found surprising. Though they are still bad for other environmental reasons.

Geo heat pump install is indeed very high. But air source heat pumps (both heat pump water heaters and heat pumps for heating/cooling) don't have that issue and have similar performance, except in extreme climates where geo outperforms.
