Air conditioners are exactly a heat pump. As are refrigerators. The only difference is that it's turned around so the hot side is inside.
The typical heat pump setup (in the US) is not reversible. That means you would also have the AC heat pump next to it, capable of moving heat in the other direction.
Not to discount your experience, but heat pumps are remarkably efficient. It would actually use less gas to convert it to electricity at an industrial scale, and then use that to locally power (recent) heat pumps, than it would be to burn the gas inside your home for all of its heat.
It sounds like your area has some politics in play that are either subsidizing gas or surcharging electric. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does put a thumb on the scale.
For many, maybe even most Americans, NYC might as well be a fictional place. It's featured heavily in countless movies, TV shows, books, etc. It's more common than Westeros, Middle Earth, or Hogwarts. And people are expected to understand these settings, at least as much as NYC.
And that's all before you consider places like Batman's Gotham that is very clearly NYC.
I almost included that exact clip, but felt like it was too off topic. Glad that I'm not alone on thinking that
I remember seeing an analysis that said the reason nothing sticks to Trump is that there's just so many negative stories that none of them really gain traction. There's nothing simple like "But her emails!!!" To get anyone riled up.
Why are we looking to a Newsweek article about Nate's blog, instead of the blog post directly?
Last update: 9:30 a.m., Friday, September 20. The theme of the week remains mostly strong state polls for Kamala Harris, like this batch from Morning Consult, which helped her even though Morning Consult has consistently shown some of her better numbers.
Indeed, today marks the 3rd time so far in the election that the streams have crossed in the forecast — Harris is technically the favorite in the model for the first time since Aug. 28 — but the race is a toss-up and that will happen a lot when the forecast is so close to 50/50.
Note that these margins are still razor thin. Voter turnout (and related factors) will be absolutely critical to the final results.

CAH is the sole member of Hole Holding LLC
They actually created a subsidiary for their giant holes/useless land
No, it was absolutely a Mafia-style threat. Here is the entire article, emphasis added:
Politico reporter Adam Wren, while reporting on potential Trump attorney general Mike Davis, was subjected to ominous threats and intimidation from an unidentified Trump ally.
As part of his lengthy profile of Davis, Wren wrote about an experience he had writing down notes about Donald Trump Jr. telling Davis that he wanted Davis to be Trump's next attorney general for the next four years.
At this point, an unidentified woman accosted Wren and demanded that he hand over his phone and delete the notes he had taken.
Wren then tried to leave the area -- but was subsequently blocked from the exits by four men who similarly demanded that he hand over his phone.
Davis tried to explain to the woman that he had to catch a flight to meet up with his family, to which she replied, "You should have thought about your kids before you did what you did."
"After roughly 15 minutes of this standoff, I searched for another exit," Wren continued. "I ran down a hallway into a stairwell. Two people followed me. When I was out on the street, Davis called me. By this point, Davis had confronted the aide near the elevators and dressed her down. You don’t ask a reporter to delete their notes, he told her, according to both Davis and a second person he recounted his remarks to briefly after. This isn’t North Korea."
The Trump campaign subsequently investigated and claimed to Wren that the woman in question was not formally involved in Trump's campaign.
5 people believed that they had a right to do any of that, on any level. It had nothing to do with a flight.
Not just VPN, but geolocation in general. I am in Ohio, but I am often geolocated as being in Chicago due to my ISP. Similar for mobile.
The comments are all assuming that it's the same people that are viewing this content and promoting hatred. It may not be - even the reddest areas still have 30%+ blue voters (and vice-versa). Although the implications of that would be equally noteworthy and confusing.
All of the consumer lines are pretty bad these days. Acer has a reputation for being unreliable (backed by some data from SquareTrade ~10 years ago). HP is just as bad, in mostly the same ways, but has avoided the reputation.
Reliable laptops are the enterprise lines - Dell Latitude/Precision, HP Elite Book, and Lenovo Thinkpad. But they are significantly more expensive when buying new.
He's dead? I didn't even know he was sick...
