A heat pump’s power draw (in watts or kilowatts, no hours) is a different measurement that tells you how much electricity it draws in a given moment. It doesn't directly affect your utility bills, but it does have some implications for the installation, and possibly your home's electric...
and thus relies on System 1 for much of the real work of thinking. These two systems can work independently of each other, in parallel, and can disagree with one another—like when we’re troubled by the sense that, despite our careful thinking, “something is just wrong” with a decisio...
How much does a smart home system cost? Converting your home to a smart home comes at a cost. Full automation of an average four-bedroom three-bath house can cost up to $15,000. However, a more modest home with only some smart upgrades has an average cost of $730. Lots More Infor...
The big question remains; does it come from within us, or is it a response to our outside world? One camp in psychology believes that curiosity is an internal drive that originates within us, much like hunger or thirst. This drive theory of curiosity sees curiosity as a naturally-...
1. Short, Stove, Dry 01 Sure, that title sounds like a synthpop band from the 1980s, butShort, Stove, Dry 01is one of those whooshing noises we mentioned earlier. It’s also our most-downloaded sound effect, and with good reason. The two blunt, brief blasts are idea...

Daisy-chained electrical receptacles - shown above - is the most-common method of receptacle wiring. In fact those copper strips on the sides of the receptacle, speaking more-precisely, are in effect forming a parallel circuit. That is, electrical current does not flow through the wall plug co...
and kilowattsarethe electrical energy-flow rate. To measure total energy—as, for instance, your electric-supply company does, to know how much to bill you—we multiply the flow rate, kilowatts, by the time the flow ran, hours, to get "kilowatt-hours" of energy. SoBTU/hourandkilowatt...
