Yup, that compressor and tubing and fins is describing a refrigeration cycle. In the summer you are using it like a traditional AC where it soaking heat in your mini split and sending it out to the heat exchanger outside built around your compressor to dump that heat in a hotter environment than inside your house (amazing I know!) due to the change in properties of the refrigerant when compressed (or expanded). This process is effectively reversed in the winter to take energy which exists in the cold outside air and pulls it in to your house by expanding it outside. Compressing or expanding the refrigerant effectively makes it colder or warmer (whatever is advantageous for the situation) to be able to extract or dump heat into it.

They probably mean mini splits which are usually attached to heat pumps which I think they implied by the savings in the winter

I think they cover that with step 1, elect a new speaker

Though this is still a pretty sharp change in how things are playing out at the moment.

I'm surprised someone is able to get a camera in to look at the president...I would've thought that would be more controlled

I mean it's an octopus instead of the mermaid, idk I'd give them the benefit of the doubt

Kinda defeats the purpose of a phone...unless you want to only be contacted/updated at some interval you actively choose

This feels like one of the early stages of spore where a random spaceship would float around above you and just fly away

Do the eyes in these suits move? Or is this a strategically taken picture?

This is probably a war crime

Damn I wonder if this was the foundation for all the anti covid vax stuff. Looks like typical cold war bs...this time with special guest, China
