    Most AC units are reversible these days, so they can also be used to heat your home in the winter, with energy use efficiencies unattainable by other means such as regular electric heating or fossil fuels. A good heatpump can heat for 5x as much energy as you put in. So you get 1000W of heat for every 200W you use. Besides, depending on your country’s energy mix, it’s probably also a lot less pollution and irritating gases sent in the atmosphere. It’s an investment, sure, but one that would eventually pay off.

















  • For some context :

    The Battle of Montgisard was fought between the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Ayyubid Sultanate on 25 November 1177 at Montgisard, in the Levant between Ramla and Yibna.

    The 16-year-old Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, severely afflicted by leprosy, led outnumbered Christian forces against Saladin’s troops in what became one of the most notable engagements of the Crusades. The Muslim Army was quickly routed and pursued for twelve miles. Saladin fled back to Cairo, reaching the city on 8 December, with only a tenth of his army.
