I've seen all sorts of instructions for how to turn off copilot on windows 11, but as an fyi, you can go into "add and remove programs" and just uninstall it. surprisingly, they let you do that. Does that remove every stupid ai thing? No idea, but in theory copilot is gone

As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room.
Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied.

Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented.
That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water.
Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

The month the Cybertruck was released I immediately saw two of them in my part of the city, always driven by the same two guys. I was shocked. "People are actually buying this thing!"
Almost two years later, I have never seen a third.
