It's hard, but the BTU loss from a 10'x 10' uninsulated wall is equivalent to a 1"x 1" hole in an R-31 wall.

There really is just a severe lack of building science education in American construction, because the margins are so thin and it is still dominated by blue collar "man in a van" companies. So you have boneheaded contractors drilling holes into air barriers because that's how it's always been done.

I still feel like large tech companies don't understand the amount of power they wield beyond it's capacity to influence buying decisions. I personally believe that YouTube (pre-2009) was the early breeding ground for conspiracy theorists, and Facebook groups/pages was the enriched gasoline added to the fire.

At my current startup, we sell a rather pricy physical product and have been using Intercom to nurture leads. It's been very useful, as we have lots of leads that have specific questions that they want a human to answer.

We found that conversational engagement works the best for these leads, but Drift does a far better job than Intercom at this. Currently planning on migrating.
