They used a crane and put it through the hole that is shingled up in the first picture.

Lol, that appears to be a common practice in hotter environments. Putting the condenser in the attic

Not like that it ain't.
Unless it's part of the "Green"
movement to recycle everything (including condenser discharge and input air).

On my phone so I'm trying to figure out the 8" insulated flex duct.

Ironically, putting the condenser in the attic would be so detrimental to efficiency it'd be worse for climate change/global warming/whatever TF it's called now, compared to having it outside.

I'm not familiar with the indoor requirements but the one I saw that looked halfway right, the discharge air was ducted outside of the space

THAT would be the correct way to do it, yes. I was referring to the way they did it in the photo.

If it exhausted into the attic, it would defeat the purpose of the unit as it's simply exchanging heat. The attic would get super hot, the house would be cold, and then eventually it would radiate into the home and continuously do this cycle over and over again and never keep the house a consistent temperature while using buttloads of electricity.

Yep, have to dump the discharge outside
( Unless you want the unit short cycling on high head pressure)

BTW Chris I was being a little sarcastic towards the "Green" movement although we all know they're always right
🤔🙄😅

Oh yeah I got the sarcasm.

For a movement so caring about the environment, they sure know how to swap plastic straws for paper and paper cups for... plastic???

This seemed pretty whacky but actually appears to have sound reasoning:

"Wendy’s is collaborating with Berry Global and LyondellBasell to move from plastic-lined paper cups with limited recyclability to single-substrate, clear plastic drink cups.

Based on a mass balance approach, the cups will also use 20% ISCC-certified, recycled plastic across all North America restaurants – a quick-service restaurant industry first – with the potential to increase the amount of recycled plastic used in the future.

The new cup set will launch in U.S. and Canada restaurants in early 2022 with the initial set of large cups using recycled plastic; all drink cups will use recycled plastic in 2023.

This first step is estimated to divert 10 million pounds of waste from landfills over the first two years. The amount of waste diverted from landfills due to this collaboration is projected to increase significantly as Wendy’s works with Berry to expand recycled plastic use throughout its entire cup set.

At least that one won't be stolen.

Huh... that actually makes sense- for the cup.

The straw doesn't. If I recall correctly McDonalds stopped using paper straws because of their poor recyclability. Wendy's might be using a different one which is not lined with plastic and loaded with chemicals, but who knows. If they're using the same one... it would just make more sense to use a plastic one that's also recycled!

Also: How do they recycle the dye? (this is rhetorical)
