A vented dryer heats up air, extracts some moisture and vents all the *hot* air. A heat-pump dryer heats up air, extracts some moisture, and then uses the hot air to heat up different air. Obviously you are still putting in some energy, but the hot air isn't just blasted out of the room.
And no: you are definitely not cooling the air in the house. A room with a heat-pump dryer still heats up noticeably as the dryer isn't perfectly insulated.

Air is heated to extract moisture. Then cooled to condense it. The heat pump cools one side and heats up the other. It's (mostly) a closed loop.

And/or, the republicans would have gotten rid of the filibuster. Either way, it was clear they weren't going to give in.

2: good becomes so plentiful that it isn't worth anything anymore. Also the house sinks and collapses because of the weight of bars.
3: you become appointed as official dog catcher somewhere. White lies count for you. Other politicians are now hired for private companies, and people vote for the companies.

Lot of typing here too. Among my friends and colleagues that tried it, 50% love it and wouldn't use any other keyboard anymore, and the other 50% never got used to it.

They were between a rock and a hard place. Often these big law firms are responsible for (very) profitable mergers. The government has a lot of influence whether a merger goes through or not. (Search for "government blocks merger").
They probably decided that the cost of the negative publicity and losing employees and clients was worth caving in.
I'm not saying it was the right choice, but they were more vulnerable than many think.

Nuclear is horrible in this context. In Europe we currently have negative prices on a daily basis (pretty much April to September). Nuclear reactors aren't worthwhile if you can't run them at full capacity all the time, and shutting them down entirely for a few hours a day is even worse.

If you ever visit Saint-Denis, Reunion, make a stop at the public park "Jardin de l'état". The same kind of bird is frequently fishing there in the ponds, making for amazing photos and videos.

This is a Jack&Jill west coast swing competition. Great videos on YouTube.
WCS is known for lots of improvisation.
I highly recommend learning it if you have classes in your area. Typically people can sign up on their own as partners are switched every few minutes.

The problem with this approach is that more people carry weapons. Any person getting a hot head (getting cut off, ...) suddenly becomes a deadly threat, even if they only intended to use their weapon in self defense.

This is West Coast Swing. Lots of videos on YouTube. I like the Jack&Jill competitions where partners are randomly paired up.

As a German speaker: this doesn't really mean anything. It's like if someone says "Let's go ..." and you auto-complete to "Brandon". Or "Thanks ..." completed to "Obama". It doesn't necessarily have any ideological meaning.
