Technically, but they're only one way.

The ones sold as "heat pumps" can operate both directions-- cool the outside world/heat your home in winter.

Lunacy: the moooon made me do it

Haha I read it as "I was made to hang out" with him, as in "I was made for this, my favorite activity with my new bestie".

the intentional design of Lemmy

Yeah, if you disagree with an instance's decisions, defederations, and so on... Choose another instance 🤷

Teddy Roosevelt's National Park programs

Imagine the uproar if that was a new idea now. People would hate it as the most "socialist", anti-business, outlandish concept. You just conserve it? And you can't build strip mall parking lots and gas stations all over it?!?

We’re concerned about getting sunburned and tanned

Lighter skin=beautiful skin in China. Not a racist thing (at least in its origins) but classist: the poors had to go work in the sun all day.

I gather it used to be the same in Europe and the west, but then the poors ended up cooped up in their office jobs while the beautiful people could go on beach vacations, and suddenly tans were in.

Well it's an interesting argument. I'd say there's got to be a line somewhere and it's somewhat subjective where you put it.

For instance, do bacteria have a right to own themselves, or can we harness them to ferment milk and make yogurt?

Apes or dolphins are pretty clearly too intelligent, most people wouldn't want them on ranches.

Cattle are somewhere in the middle, I think you'll find people's opinions are likewise split down the middle

As another commenter @foo pointed out, this is not a one or the other thing.

Your TFSA is like a basket. You can put lots of things in it-- savings account/liquid cash, GICs, investment accounts (equities/bonds).

Read the flowchart from Reddit and make decisions from there.

Personally I am getting more tempted by GICs, you can get over 5% in 18 month maturity now. Depending on your risk profile you might go a different way though.

Want.

I'm a simple man--I see Casio, I upvote.
