@hynek@mastodon.socialGood morning! Since it's become a drag to support in mainline, I've extracted svcs's Pyramid support into an own package svcs-pyramid.
That means, the next svcs version will ship WITHOUT a `svcs.pyramid` module.

Generic drug manufacturers must move production to the U.S. or face a 100% import duty starting August 2028, Trump said,
threatening the supply of low-cost medicines that millions of Americans rely on.
Trump said in a social media post, the move is aimed at “reshoring” generic pharmaceutical production in the U.S., and companies that don’t build plants onshore will face levies -- that would then double, to 200%, in August 2029, (Aft…

- 300-500% efficiency
- can run with any electric power, e.g. solar or wind, but even if gas power plant still less emissions than a gas furnace
- max solar energy coincides with need for cooling
- no direct greenhouse emissions
- no need for gas lines or delivery
- can't explode
- can't give you carbon monoxide poisoning
- mechanically simple
- cheap
- closed system w/ no consumables
- can double as air filters
- long-lasting
- need little maintenance
- DIY install options (window unit)
- mobile units can serve to keep one room cool if there's no budget to install whole-house
- no need to import gas from evil countries
Downsides:

Walk into Canadian Tire and you can by a 500W "kit” of 4 125W solar panels from $1199. That works out to $2.40 per Watt.
Or, you can go on Alibaba as I just did... search for 400W solar, chat with a (AI Bot probably?) and be offered 36 620 watt "JinkoSolar" panels for $US 2500 plus $3000 shipping which works out to $8,510.88 CAD or $0.38 per Watt.

Granted I don't know if there would be import duties, but FGS the price difference is totally ridiculous.
