I’m convinced modern tech has made us forget how things used to work. My friend found this buried in the garden today.
Only a certain generation is going to recognize this immediately. If you know exactly what this is, don't spoil it—just tell me how many years it’s been since you’ve seen one. 🕰️🕵️♂️

This system is called the “Canadian well.”
The essence is very simple: at a depth of 2-3 meters, the earth always holds a stable temperature of about +10... +15°C.
In the winter, the cold air from the street goes through an underground pipe and heats up before entering the house.
☀️ In the summer, the hot air is cooled down in the same pipe.
That is, the earth functions as both a natural conditioner and a heater.
It does not replace heating or air conditioning completely, but it greatly reduces costs and makes the air in the house more comfortable 👍

@SenWarren Huh, oddly that's just what we did...
But, you're willing to kill an entire cottage industry over this?

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS?
I have a bill to get that done.

@minty_hawk Or maybe WinCo got a better look at things and decided to SEPA themselves…? Just spitballing… it ain’t all going to stick.

Seattle's Hearing Examiner just blocked WinCo Foods from opening in the old Sam's Club at 13550 Aurora Ave N, a building that's been vacant since 2018. The SEPA appeal was filed by a group called "Lake Washington Working Families."
Sounds like concerned neighbors, right? Let's talk about a pattern. /1

Unions appear to be using SEPA environmental to block a majority employee owned (but non-union) grocery store from opening in Seattle.
