I had a similar problem, fwiw I have an ecobee. I simply added an intermediary step an hour or two before the final temperature so the heatpump has a chance to go. There is also a threshold for auxiliary heat lock in the settings on the thermostat itself that doesn't show up in the app which I increased which helped a lot.

Mine is rated for -25, which where i live in southern Ontario has been reached 3 times in 50 years (wind chill doesn't count remember). And while I haven't had a heat pump for one of those days I don't think it would be a problem, after all the efficiency doesn't just drop to 0, it just doesn't work as well for that one day and my house could stay a safe level of warm for a day or 2 without heat anyway.

Despite this I am required to have an auxiliary heat source, so I get charged 30 dollars a month just for a gas hook up I haven't used.

A lot of heat pumps have normal electrical heating as a backup as well.

I have converted to a heat pump and induction stove. I legally need auxiliary power to heat my home, so I have to pay 30 dollars a month just for the gas hookup.

I have a body pillow and/or my partner for that, clothes aren't thick enough.

I'm a 20, l and I have dogs that occasionally wake up with the urgent need to go outside, I just keep a pair of sweat pants and an overcoat hanging in the wall. I can get into it without breaking stride.

I think this is essentially a response to the trade war with America. Threat of sanctions from America is why so many countries support isreal, but now with the trade war there's not much to lose.

Tbf high speed rail is now in the works, although moving at a pretty glacial pace.

The leader of the opposition is entitled to a house to stay in. PP isn't technically the leader any more because the opposition leader (unlike the PM) must hold a seat. Until he wins the by election he shouldn't really be living there.

If you don't eat the brain you'll have a much much lower risk (your link suggests about 9x less likely), and if the person you eat wasn't a cannibal then your risk is lower still.

Also worth mentioning that Kuru is a specific disease for natives in Papua new guinea , and it only existed for about 100years and was going away on it's own when the cannibalistic practice was outlawed.

I think the health risks of cannibalism is very exaggerated.

(this is not an endorsement of cannibalism)

I would bet the other quarter would be the most likely to be influenced by misinformation.
