It is the difference between having a zoned HVAC system and having two zones. We’re a great industry for muddled language!

I fall asleep to Futurama damn near every night; at this point it’s like a parent reading me my favorite story. This is totally going to screw me up.

So what would a film with Kate Winslet, Tom Hanks, and Mark Wahlberg be like?

No you’re not. For certain markets in the US, having a programmable stat is wonderful. For me and my clients in the DC/Metro area, setbacks on the thermostat force higher humidity in the summer which negates most of the savings from setbacks. Lack of humidity functions the same way in the winter.

The $64,000 question is: do they reheat well? This would totally be worth it if instead of the extra 30 minutes, a few minutes in the nukerowave would work several mornings later. Having something like this that my kids could warm by themselves would be great.

Just as a warning: the worst part of learning how to build computers is the constant need to tinker with them. Also, that nagging feeling of always being able to make it better.

Let me clarify. Don’t get one *just* because it’s on sale. If the one you want is on sale, yeah go for it. I guess I came off a little too zealous on that point.

No, I mean seats that have long passed their expiration date, seats that are too small for their child, or seats where the latch system has started to fray. I have friends who were more concerned with their child’s clothing having the right label then they were with the functionality of their carseat.

Plastic degrades over time, especially plastic exposed to high heat and UV light. So there are functional limits to the carseat based on the structural capabilities. I’ll link to The Carseat Lady, who’s a great resource. http://thecarseatlady.com/used-and-borrowed-car-seats/

There is one, and only, one thing you need to do major research and due diligence on: the carseat. The carseat is the only thing you buy for your child that is exclusively for protection. Do not get a used one, do not get the one on sale, and do not get one just because you think it’ll do. Do your research, check the…

I have worn Duluth’s Fire Hose Pants for the last 7 years on a daily basis at work and at home. I’m just having to start replacing the 7 year old ones. As someone who does a fair amount of physical work around sharp metal, these are phenomenal.

Futurama is my going-to-sleep show. I turn it on most nights before bed, watch between .25 and .75 of a show, and fall asleep. I’ve been doing this for about three years. It’s soothing and comforting and I skip Jurassic Bark every time.

They only degrade the efficiency if there is not enough free air movement into the condensing coil. You want these types of screens about 2' away from the unit and with about 1/3 to 1/2 of the “walls” free air.

Are you going to argue with Vinnie Jones? No, you’re not. Hands only.

I’m not sure I am qualified to hire a trustworthy financial account who is used to managing half a billion dollar accounts. I’m also not sure my network of friends, family and business relations are qualified to make a recommendation either. I have no investments in the same neighborhood as the ballpark of the…

It is inheritable. They changed that at some point.

This is what I have always said. To hell with the idea that “I can do better investing it myself”. The first payment right now is about $15 million. How many people could soundly and safely park that kind of money right away? I figured that on the off chance I ever won, the first 4-5 years of payments are going to be…

But your utility can’t show you that at 4:15 yesterday your fan came on before your AC. It will show you that your load increased at that time. But that could have been when you fired up your 167” TV with rumble seats.

Ok, back up a little bit. The idea that you need to have your thermostat follow you thru your house is not what most people need. The feature’s nifty, but it would only be useful if you’re going from one room to another, staying in that room for several hours, and then staying in the next room for a good length of…
