And some companies even install AC only mini splits.

It is the exact same hardware running in different configurations, all that changes is refrigerant flow direction.

As far as I understand that's exactly what's been happening behind the scenes.

Yes, an air conditioner is a heat pump with a fixed orientation, what basically equates to a handful of valves to switch the direction of the refrigerant. The actual expensive parts that generate the temperature difference are identical between the two machines.

It's literally the same machine

She'll be 35 on Election Day, no? And well before she would be sworn in? Plenty of reasons to say she shouldn't run, but that one seems demonstrably false.

Who is saying both of those things? Everyone that would support Biden is strongly against Trump's court's ruling.

Jesus Christ I hope he spends a day in a room with venusian CO2 levels and "totally innocuous" firework debris.

I can't play souls games on anything but a steam controller. The pads are so much better than a stick for camera movement, and the pads are incredibly useful with the games' awkward layout for sprinting.

That's not something new, young people traditionally have strong political opinions and fail to turn out for elections. Even in presidential elections, which are the highest turnout for the demographic, you're looking at maybe 40% in the standard year. Turnout was better during COVID when tensions were high and there was a lot of momentum to get Trump out, but even then it was in the realm of~50%.

I feel like this implies the youth vote matters anywhere, and the one thing we all know is young people don't vote.
