I find the price has also doubled.

What exactly is he talking about? Which law prohibits the specific 'free speech' he is referring to?

Do you have an offsite backup? Or do you only backup specifics? Like 10-20% of that?

Do you typically believe everything you read in meme form?

I've been to Paris 3 times, I'm from BC in Canada. April, May and October I went. Had an amazing time every time, people, food, places. It's one of my favorite cities.

I live in southern BC and heat with a newer Carrier heat pump. The outdoor unit is a 28 seer model paired with an indoor ducted unit. It works fairly well until a week or two when we have -25c and below which I switch to our baseboard. I'm a home builder and built the house and it's definitely better than a 1990 or older home but nowhere near the efficiency we are building today.

Our electric rates are $0.142/kWh. I don't know what gas is as I don't have the option.

I do agree that heat pumps struggle with colder temps and northern homes, especially older ones, aren't going to be able to heat consistently through the winter. Storms and outages also are an issue but gas won't heat a house if there's no power either.

Gas is cheap and it is fairly efficient (debatable) but the rest of your comment is silly. My wife and I and a child of 5 live in a 1000sqft house (two floors total 2k sqft) and heat and cool with a heat pump. Electric on demand water. Nothing crazy about the building as far as insulation and air sealing. 2012 build-to-code. Our electricity bills are NEVER over $200 a month and usually under $150 a month. We haven't had a power outage in two years and the last one was scheduled for about 1 hour.

If you want to argue for gas make better points. Electricity is cheap and reliable. I don't disagree that gas is cheap also and that we shouldn't entirely abandon gas and I'm a realist in thinking we can't eliminate it entirely and suddenly.

Ceramic/glass top electric is shit. I've used gas and induction a fair amount, but at home I have a mid range priced electric ceramic and it's terrible compared to the other two options.

This was last week's blueberry basil margarita.

Made the syrup with blueberries and agave and basil in a pot, heated and then strained.

2oz Espolon

1oz Cointreau

1oz lime juice

1oz syrup

Shaken and strained over ice in a salt rimmed glass

Garnish with fresh blueberries (which sorta sank), basil and lime wedge
