It would take people listening to professionals and getting rid of several decades worth of bad habits amongst users. Same as most other places really.

It does, but modern heat pumps are so efficient compared to an oil-based system from the 1900's it'll save more energy than new insulation.

Had the house been uninsulated it'd be another story, but such houses are very rare in the Nordics.


When We had a whole-house heat pump installed to replace an EoL gas furnace the installation also included an energy efficiency audit. There were some places (like blowing foam at the foundation/house joint to suppress air leaks, and insulating exposed ducts in the attic) that made a significant difference. And this was for a house built 14 years ago.

Are there a lot of homes that have 125 year old oil heating? Or have they been replaced along with way with more efficient oil furnaces?

The Space Merchants is definitely worth a read.

> But I believe you can relax, because this is all nonsense.

We're at the point where the two countries, with most wars between them in history, stood side by side, ready to defend Greenland against a U.S. invasion.

The monkey has a hand grenade. You lot gave it to him. Twice. You might find that it's a bit late for "relax, he's only kidding".


I suspect the people of Greenland won't ever trust Americans again.

This isn't just going to go away. You can't just undo what Orange Mussolini is doing, and it'll take far longer than a decade before anything like a trusting relationship can be reestablished.


Not only Greenland but Canadians won't either.

I promise you, no amount of change in US policies or election results is going to fix it.

Canada has realized that it's a national security issue. The issue is not "Republicans" or "TRUMP" , it's bigger than this.


At least a generation and that's if they truly clean house and out right apologise.


Not just Greenland. I imagine a lot of people here in Blighty will not take well to the US meddling in the sovereignty of the Falklands.

I do wonder if the sudden noise is due in part due to to Peter Thiel's move to Buenos Aries.


As someone in Blighty just add it to the pile of existing issues with the US and its current government.

Unless the US gives significant military aid (or outright joins them) the Argentinians can't take the Falklands, They are much more heavily defended than they were in the 80's (in fairness it would be hard for them to be less defended than that).

This is just the usual "Things are fucked at home, Distract them with the Malvinas Again" they pull periodically, it's to appeal to his domestic base - about all we (the UK) should do is state it's not a matter for debate and dust off the "If they do the stupid thing again" plans we already have and then carry on.

Bigger problems in the world for us than the Malvinas.


Milei is flailing.

Typical criminal politician move when they’re about to lose power.


Correlation != causation


Don't point it out, please. I, for one, look forward to accessing content without all the bloat.


The Xbox remake from 2004 plays well on current-gen Xboxes.
