STIR/SHAKEN had yet to be fully implemented, so while most carriers are now signing calls, almost none are taking action against unsigned calls.

I have hope that it will become a useful tool in the future for blocking spam and even bad carriers who are signing anything and everything.

I have a duel fuel system (heat pump + gas furnace) which, while more expensive, is really the best of both worlds.

In a power outage I can plug in a generator and get the furnace running.

If temps drop too low and the heat pump is struggling I can switch to the furnace.

I can choose which to run based on current energy costs.

When looking into heat pumps everyone told me they don’t work well in the northeast or they would be more expensive to run here. I found it really difficult to get an accurate estimate of the cost difference between running a heat pump vs a gas furnace. Ultimately I decided to go dual fuel for flexibility but after comparing my bills before and after I almost wish I’d gone with a hyper heat unit so it could run at lower outdoor temps because the heat pump has turned out to be cheaper but I can’t run it at low temps.

I think HVAC techs in this area are weary of them based on past experience with older units but they really have improved in recent years.

If it’s the report I think they’re referring to, it basically said Aspartame is possibly carcinogenic but safe at normal consumption levels.

It raised a lot of doubt around Aspartame being carcinogenic without going so far as to deem it non carcinogenic, concluding that more studies are needed.

I wouldn’t call it overwhelmingly positive for Coke but it’s not hurting them.

Right, the fact that they dug up their addresses and posted them is the disturbing part. The article, particularly the headline, is misleading.

True. They could close it off to the public at any time and only offer a subscription service.

However, they are probably afraid to do that for fear that they will lose out to competitors. Offering the service for free was the key to their popularity and bringing AI technology into the hands the average users. If they cut that off, someone else will quickly take their place.

Now this is one of the features I want a button or knob for. Go ahead and bury all the advanced features in touchscreen menus but please don’t do that for the basic things I regularly use while driving like temperature, fan, volume, and seek.

Looks promising. It’s far from a cure but slowing disease progression and maintaining quality of life a bit longer sounds great. .

Cost and the fact that it’s administered by IV will likely limit how many have access to it though.
