It's amusing to think of AC, Heatpumps, and Refrigerators as a dumb glitch in reality's physics engine that has been completely commodified. You can buy physics-defiance-in-a-box. Get fecked, thermodynamics.

If the first law of thermodynamics says you can't win, then the second law says you can't break even. And the third law says you can't get out of the game(Due to C.P. Snow apparently)@distractedmosfet

@EdS I know it certainly doesn't actually break thermodynamics, but they feel "against it's intent" if that makes sense. Like a game developer looking at a playtest and going "Wait that's not how that's supposed to work."

Yeah, heat pumps are quite an unexpected kind of thing. I find it especially difficult to think about - should the cold side of an air source heat pump be in the shade or in the sun?@distractedmosfet

@EdS @distractedmosfet "This is reality police. Are you hiding any Maxwell's demons in your house?""No sir, we are abiding to the laws of physics in this household."
