Ukraine doesn't really like us. They are an incredibly corrupt country who lies to the world. They didn't deserve to be invaded, but I'm tired of that being the world's problem.

What's important is how much you can buy, not how much money you have.

Wait for the third one.

That's just complete bullshit. The sun's activity doesn't have anything to do with what the position of the earth is at any given time.

It's just not true.

North America & Europe (temperate/cold climates) Heating dominates. In the U.S., for example, space heating accounts for roughly 2–3× more total energy than cooling on an annual basis, especially in northern and central states. In Europe, cooling demand is tiny in comparison — many countries use almost no air conditioning outside southern regions.

Why heating dominates overall:

  • Large parts of North America and Europe have long winters.
  • Heating often uses high-energy fuels (natural gas, oil, electricity), so the energy content is higher even if cooling is more frequent in some places.
  • Cooling is mostly electric and can be efficient with modern A/C systems, so it consumes less energy per degree of temperature change compared to heating.

Prove that any cat voted for any other opponent. I'll wait. Stupid cats.

What happened to Dennis? His wife left him so he took their kids to her parents and never came back?
