EV rated outlets are a scam. I know the Internet is obsessed with this idea, but all UL listed NEMA outlets are perfectly capable of carrying their full load indefinitely, as the tests literally require them to draw 125% of their rated capacity until temperature stops increasing, and that temperature cannot be more than the temperature rating for the THHN/THWN wire they serve - typically 75C. This is a perfect example of internet forum conventional wisdom flat out getting something wrong and then stubbornly doubling down on bad information.

I have graphgear 500 pencils which can vote.

Literally any decent heat pump has a COP > 1.0 down to around -20F.

I have run hest pumps down to -10F just fine in multiple homes.

Voting is literally a require to enact meaningful change in the long term. At no point has change in a western society come from a protest movement being given carte blanche to create new laws. The protest movement creates awareness, shifts the Overton window and causes people to elect a government which passes new laws.

Did nobody here read the article? Manifesting holistic change starts at home, precisely because it creates an appetite for change over status quo. A person who puts in individual effort is far more likely to tolerate and advocate for collective effort. The idea that top down change will not impact individuals is as ridiculous as the notion that resistance to top down change isn’t rooted in anxiety over individual impacts.

I have been on this hill for years, ever since the whole “recycling does nothing” attitude became popular.

People who make these individual lifestyle changes are more likely to advocate for holistic change. Meanwhile those who adopt a cynical take on environmentalism are more likely to disengage entirely. This seems incredibly obvious to me.
