For those keeping count, Federal Judges have now BLOCKED 78 actions by Donald Trump just since he took office this second time

We are in the middle of a Judicial coup and the GOP refuses to remove a single activist federal judge

The latest ruling blocked proof of citizenship requirements for federal voter registration and blocked mail in ballots timely return requirements

This is a takeover

🚨🇯🇵🇧🇷 Japan lost to Brazil 2-1 and their fans STILL stayed behind to clean the stadium, and IShowSpeed grabbed a bag and joined them.

The most famous streamer alive picking up trash with heartbroken fans.

The class of Japanese supporters is contagious.

🚨 Supreme Court Just Gutted the Deep State

The Supreme Court just issued a historic ruling that effectively guts the deep state, giving President Trump the authority to fire federal bureaucrats. However, a second ruling on mail-in ballots has sparked outrage, making the SAVE America Act more critical than ever.

America First. 🇺🇸

“You just press the Grok icon on any 𝕏 post & it'll analyze for you & research it as much as you want. You can assess whether that post is the truth. Grok is very good at piercing through propaganda"

Okay, grown ass toddlers… Y'all had to run your hot breath & get all damn pissy. Learn something.

Myth 1:
“Concrete next to the condenser has zero effect on efficiency.”
Reality:
Concrete is high thermal mass. It absorbs solar radiation, holds heat, and re-radiates it. A large slab poured right next to the unit raises the local ambient air the condenser pulls in. Higher intake air = higher head pressure, lower efficiency, more energy use. Not massive in every climate, but real. Placement matters.

Myth 2:
“If pads are standard/code, any concrete nearby is fine and irrelevant.”
Reality:
The small pad under the unit is for stability, drainage, and vibration. A big adjacent backyard slab is a completely different heat sink. Conflating the two is lazy. Good installers consider sun exposure, prevailing winds, and nearby surfaces for a reason.

Myth 3:
“Concrete doesn’t absorb or hold heat.”
Reality:
Concrete’s volumetric heat capacity is ~2,060 kJ/m³·K. A 6-inch slab stores roughly 14–15 Btu per square foot per °F. Sun-baked concrete surfaces easily exceed 120–150°F. It absolutely holds and releases heat.

Myth 4:
“Manufacturers wouldn’t put units on concrete if it hurt efficiency.”
Reality:
They do it for practical reasons (level surface, code, durability). Units are rated at standard 95°F ambient. Real-world microclimates (your $8k slab baking next to it) still degrade performance. Efficiency curves drop as ambient rises.

Myth 5:
“This is just some rando on the internet who doesn’t understand HVAC.”
Reality:
Hands-on since childhood helping my uncle (old-school HVAC: oil furnaces through window units and beyond) plus real work in autos, boats, ships, trades, and HVAC across climates from FL to AZ to PA and more. I’ve seen this shit in the field.

Bottom line:
Physics doesn’t care about “standard practice” memes. A giant new concrete patio slammed right against the condenser isn’t free. It has a cost — in comfort and on your power bill. Take care of the things you own, including actually understanding them.

Call out the actual point next time instead of the strawman (a shameful amount of you did this). Efficiency is about details, not vibes.

PS:
Not from the west coast. I do love the cold, mountains, fishing, and outdoors though. Annoying people are everywhere… especially you dog-pile keyboard warriors.
Go touch grass. 😉🖕

@ClownWorld … dumb, very dumb …
I find it hiliarious its right next to the AC unit for the interior house. Concrete absorbs & holds heat; that $8k price tag is about to make more costs in attempting to cool that house.

An underage girl from Mesa, Ariz. who went missing in May has finally been found by U.S. Marshals at a homeless encampment called "The Jungle" in Olympia, Wash. The child may be a sex trafficking victim.

Leftists in Washington state defend the encampment, viewing it as an autonomous zone. In 2023, a dead woman was found there.

They were able to connect to Starlink’s free internet service and go live on social media from beneath the debris, sharing their location and calling for help.

Tomorrow will be MASSIVE when it comes to the future of our country.

Lovin how retarded the comments below; dipshits are not thinking nor noticing some shit that's been going on as more & more concrete gets laid out.

Hint, go outside & take a fuckin walk. Atlanta to country side outskirts. Phoenix to country side desert (or even pass a private small grove of citrus) in Gilbert. Not drive but walk, see the damn difference. More asphalt & concrete, more heat held. Its not that hard guys; remember 3 types of heat transfer...

Yes, & it wasn't that long ago. Literally 90's it flux'd below & above $1 USD.

If want to be wow'd on an increase... The Wright Brothers - airplane inventors; first flight 1903. We went to the Moon in 1969, later in 1969 ARPANET (birth of the internet). I could go on but the rapid expanse of tech within 1900 to present... is more shocking 👀
