@Ember_arab This is the only logical explanation and if you think otherwise you’re simply unintelligent

Most HVAC contractors in America are trying to keep you in the 1990s.
I had $15,000 cash to spend on a cold-climate heat pump.
Nearly every contractor I contacted tried to talk me out of it or over-quote me an outrageous amount to deter me away.
One guy spent 20 minutes explaining why variable-speed heat pumps are a scam. Another literally said he wouldn’t put one in his own house.
Why? My guess:
1) They are ignorant of the latest technology
2) They don’t have the training to install/service the new systems
3) Their pockets get filled from big box old school HVAC manufacturers if they sell them
Unfortunately, a new HVAC for most homeowners is very urgent so these contractors use this time crunch to overcharge or upsell inferior systems.
Luckily, I bought a couple of $130 window AC units to hold me over for 2 weeks while I reached out to 15+ contractors.
I received quotes ranging from $10,000 to over $24,000. Only 2 of the quotes included a modern cold-climate heat pump.
After price matching and negotiations, I ultimately chose a Daikin Aurora Fit cold-climate inverter heat pump + 97% modulating gas furnace (true dual-fuel setup)
Total cost after rebates = $13,000
This system usually goes for around $20,000.
Here are the key takeaways I wish I had known before I started shopping:
1. Always demand a real Manual J load calculation. Don’t settle for a “rule of thumb” or register count. I had 3 different contractors give me 3 different sizes until one actually ran proper software.
2. True variable-speed inverter technology is worth it especially in a multi-level home. It runs longer at lower speeds, gives much better dehumidification, smoother temperatures, and is noticeably quieter.
3. Dual-fuel (heat pump + high-efficiency gas furnace) is often the smartest move in mixed climates (like my home in Louisville). The heat pump handles most of the year efficiently while the furnace only kicks in on the coldest days (if necessary)
4. Shop aggressively and negotiate hard. Buy yourself some time with some temporary/portable units. I got competing quotes and used them to drive the price down significantly.
5. Duct sealing, correct sizing/tonnage, and proper installation matter more than most people realize especially in older homes.
6. Have a detailed checklist to vet each contractor. An extremely helpful guide I had throughout the process was from @energysmartwv
So why did I insist on cold climate heat pump?
• Way better temperature balance upstairs (even without zoning)
• Excellent dehumidification in humid summers
• Significantly quieter operation
• I’m expecting to save $60/month on electricity
• Less reliance on gas and possibly eliminating the need altogether
Modern cold-climate heat pumps are no longer experimental. They’re one of the smartest upgrades most homeowners can make right now.
Do your homework to make sure you are getting the best system possible for your home. Don’t let old school contractors keep you in the past.
Have you installed (or considered) a heat pump in a cold or mixed climate? Were the contractors helpful or did they try to talk you out of it?

Not hottest but relevant. Leagues stinks of poop but also perfectly appeals to the osrs fan base. They hate playing the game. Dont need to skill, bosses die before mechanics, drops within 1 hr of killing the boss, number big. Osrs players wet dream

What is your OSRS hottest take? Mine is: I dislike Megarares as a concept. They limit the power-ceiling in a constricting way, to the point where content is wholistically designed around the power gap they create.

@bhicksbtw @atlantis_osrs Surely it isn’t possible to be worse than toa. I really hope I don’t regret saying that

@atlantis_osrs And last year they fucked the dog on yama and delve by giving the two of them combined a raids amount of BIS gear. I think they should step back and really focus on raids 4 so we don’t get something as miserable as TOA

I was there for Homestuck. I was there in the Tumblr days of Seven Universe and Gravity Falls. I was there for the formative years of online fandoms all across the internet.
The TADC fandom is one of the most unruly, childish fandoms I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with. Instead of being happy that a small indie studio get's a chance at a theatrical release, y'all want to boycott it because you want it to "stay niche" and don't want the medium to mature and grow, and push bigger studios like Disney and Pixar out of the spotlight for once.
Despite what it might seem like on the internet, Glitch is small peanuts compared to those giants. The rest of the world outside of the internet bubble has NO IDEA what TADC even is, so these theatres need to be convinced that showing it will be worth it for them.
On top of that, despite GLITCH being an Australian company; TADC is an American production. Of COURSE they're going to focus on where the show originated and where it's most popular for their initial theatrical release; but if you want to see it closer to you, YOU NEED TO REACH OUT AND ASK FOR IT.
GLITCH can't do it all, THEY'RE INDIE. IT'S US. WE'RE THE DISTRIBUTORS. It's just like Iron Lung all over again, but GLITCH is getting shit on instead of supported like Iron Lung was.
I grew up in a time where I had to dodge spoilers for limited releases, and I managed to do it. Avoiding spoilers is surprisingly easy, you're just too entitled.
We should absolutely be supporting an indie studio when they make moves like this. It's unheard of for something like this to be happening, and these projects are backed by real people with real passions. GLITCH doesn't make their money from YouTube views, they make it on merch and MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, they'll make a LITTLE revenue from these movie releases, but we have to support them if we want to see more projects like Iron Lung and TADC moving into the big screens.

@OldSchoolRS Let me guess…. You added all this new LMS gear but didn’t bother removing existing lower tier versions of this.

Barack Obama was asked if aliens are real during interview with Brian Tyler Cohen:
“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them, and they’re not being kept in Area 51. There’s no underground facility — unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States.”
