Eigenlijk is het punt vooral dat REM tot en met Up een absurde hoeveelheid heel sterke albums uitbracht. Zoals Pitchfork meldde in de review van het eerste mindere album:

On the scale of human accomplishments, turning out a classic album ought to rank up there with climbing Mount Everest. Stoned. With one leg. And no oxygen. Given the infinite potential for obnoxious excess within the Rock genre, it's no small feat to assemble an album that's so well phrased, so deftly stated, that its impact extends far beyond the realm of the audible. Turn out two or more such albums and you're headed for legendary status. Turn out five or six and you're R.E.M.

With the cold spell of last week in the books (14F as a low), our #heatpump is still holding up just fine, with a linear relationship between power usage and temperature. Statistically, no more than 2 weeks per year should be colder than this.

I recently had to remind myself that I experienced a full eclipse in 2024, and that means that by definition, 2024 for was a good year! If you're still at the #AGU24 and want to know more about the response of the atmosphere to said eclipse, show up at 11:20 in room 151B!

We've got Fujitsu H- series. It claims to only start dropping off at 5F. Efficiency goes down the drain when below 0, but it shouldn't shut off, even at -15F.

With the first freezing days (minimum temp 22F/-4C) in the pocket for our #Heatpump, it is still holding up with ease. Temperature in the house stays where it should be, and power consumption remains perfectly linear.
