unless I am very much mistaken this is only true for air source heat pumps. If you're in a cold environment I would expect you'd want a ground source heat pump instead, although the installation cost for that will be significantly higher than air source.

Kinder Surprise are readily available all over the US. The yellow plastic egg has been modified so it essentially splits the two halves of the chocolate egg, but I see them for sale at every grocery store, Walmart, etc.

They used to be banned, but not for quite some time now.

I’ve never seen a window AC with mechanical knobs not cycle the compressor when it hits the temperature set by its thermostat. The fan might run 24/7 but the compressor? How could it possibly regulate temperature otherwise?

Monitor the current with the smart plug. When you want to turn it off, wait for the current to drop for a few minutes (this means the compressor is off/unloaded) then power off the outlet.

Might be an idea.

Very weird; I’m in twentynine palms today (visiting Joshua Tree and then just got back from stargazing) and saw/heard nothing about this. Drove through Palm Springs late this morning to get here.

What a senseless tragedy. I hope for swift justice for the perpetrators and peace for the victims.

Why not if (f & (F_1 | F_3)) {? I use this all the time in embedded code.

edit: never mind; you’re checking for both flags. I’d probably use (f & (F_1 | F_3)) == (F_1 | F_3) but that’s not much different than what you wrote.

and I like how you're trying to steer the conversation in exactly the same way but in a different direction.

I mean seriously, you call the hypothetical person in some low level clerical/administrative role a fascist because they won't quit because it's simply not that easy to do so, yet in the same breath you say "I totally have so much power as an individual to drive the piss ass politics in a country of 330 million" -- hypocrite much?

I just drain the gas and run it until it stalls. Been doing this with the lawnmower, weed trimmer and snowblower for over a decade, never any carburetor issues.

Thank you, that was brilliant.

Now I have to explain to the people in my vicinity what “dull men’s club” is because I involuntarily let out a great belly laugh after reading your comment.

nowhere near the trunk of the car, thankfully. :-)

I guess the closest I've gotten to that is to have a cow lick the "T" off of the "Passat" lettering on my trunk a couple years ago.

it's amazing how I could immediately identify which loops you are referring to and have repaired a few of my own for similar reasons.
