This is exciting, now just to wait until it’s available in my state.

“flavor” lol

They say it can’t run DOOM however you can use it to display the video output from DOOM.

McFly! Hello!

See, my favorite is GNU, for “GNU’s Not Unix”.

I’ve even heard people say “Double-yoos dot”, and even that compressed version is still more syllables than the full thing.

My wife had significant issues with hers, including basically never-ending spotting and occasional surprise periods, cramps, mood issues, etc. She had it removed after 2 years.

I’m thinking a vasectomy is the next thing, but it isn’t covered on my insurance and finding a doctor is intimidating.

I know a guy who’s initials are MRS, which is funny.

Correlation. Does. Not. Equal. Causation.

Besides, everyone knows pot doesn’t make you gay, it was the fluoride, everyone knows that.

Oh no, whatever will we do if old dudes can’t have 6 different types of boner pills?

My state of residence restricts access to certain sites. It’s all bullshit.

Anyway… The ISP is either a common carrier or a content provider. Pick a fucking lane. You can’t have half and half. Either you are responsible for ALL content provided or NONE.

If you choose none then you MUST NOT restrict access to any content.

If you chose ALL then you may restrict content based on what you are willing to take responsibility for. But in that case if someone does something illegal with content you provided you are liable.

Ah yeah that’s a different story then. However I’ve never heard of in-floor cooling before. I wonder how effective it would be since heat rises? I think you’d just have a cool floor and hot muggy air. Also the floor would condense water constantly so your floor would be slippery and if you have carpet it would be wet / damp constantly.

It definitely can. If yours can’t then it’s likely just the thermostat wired wrong.

You think you are being a smartass but that’s exactly what heat pumps do. The only functionality difference between an AC unit and a heat pump is a reversing valve.

But without a reversing valve you could put your AC unit in backwards and heat your house in the winter.

The whole premise of an AC unit is to take the heat from inside the house and put it outside, leaving you with cooler air inside.

So in the winter a heat pump simply reverses the flow of the freon and moves the heat from outside to inside. Yes. You are “cooling the whole neighborhood” when you run a heat pump.

I wouldnt use pex. A sharkbite will work with regular copper tube. The peg gear system would be the easiest to “cobble together” without too many tools.

I should have clarified, the gear templates on woodgears.ca can’t likely be used as is. You would would likely either have to bevel the teeth or use the “divide” option and use dowels as gears to make pin gears like this

Sorry, but IMO, None of your ideas will work.

angle grinder: The gear ratio is probably around 4:1 or more so you’d either be turning the knob forever or it would be very difficult to turn

Wood gears: Much harder than you think, but not impossible with the right tools, but I’m assuming you don’t have them. If you are determined you can go check out https://woodgears.ca/ however, he has some templates you can print out and cut out.

Bicycle cassette: Those are sprockets not gears. They would be quite clunky and difficult to use as gears.

The best thing to do would be to simply relocate the valve. With some sharkbite fittings and some copper pipe and a Pipe Cutter you could easily relocate the valve, and there would be less work than trying to fit in a cobbled together right angle gearbox.

That’s what I found after researching as well. Now on the opposite side of the spectrum, we bought a house with zero insulation in the attic. Paid $1800 for I think 16" of blown in insulation. Simple return on that was less than 6 months. Next will be crawl space insulation and encapsulation. That’s going to run around $3000 and I expect maybe 2-3 year return on that.

We rented a house where the owner decided to replace all the old metal fame single pane windows with new high quality double pane windows.

He spent something like $30,000 on all the windows and installation.

Didn’t notice any difference.

Like, the HVAC bill was basically the same, and the noise was basically the same.

We may have saved $5-10/mo. on power but that is simply not worth it.
