Sexiïst air conditioning

CAN bus
I know the joke has been made, but I don't know if anyone knows that there is some reality behind it:
Every time I see these two words together, I remember NZ. Over there, they take an interesting approach to political parties. One rather unsuccessful party is the Cannabis Party, who probably needs no introduction other than their name. They drive around the country in the Cannabus.
-
That's probably because any user-entered code would have the ability to send shit on the CAN bus and crash or brick parts of the car.
Could be worse. They could....TURN DOWN THE AIR CONDITIONING.

Who said I wanted code?
WTF is wrong with you open source-y people. No I don't want to program my car. I just want it to do smarter shit.
-
Who said I wanted code?
Some dude named blakeyrat.
I mean the entire car is computer controlled, but you can't do shit to program it.

Ours has this.
What's a split system? Inside unit and outside? Ours has a plastic pipe running to the outside to disperse water.
I saw the addition that you seem to think you can have an inside unit without drainage, I think k that is wrong. When you cool air it Condenses. If You do not drain it it becomes ice in the cooler. (or rots)

oh, honey. don't worry. you're not in that scene!

I'll admit i am rather disappoint myself on that score.

i see i'll have to up my game then.

I see I'll have to introduce you to my favorite extraterrestrial then... ;)

Right; you can't program a DVR or a microwave without code. Stupid me, using the dictionary definition of the word "program".

Yeah, but being ambiguous about which one. Especially that word, around here. Not that anyone expects you to be that self aware.
-
Yeah, but being ambiguous about which one.
It should have been obvious from context.
Which it was - for me at least.

I agree. Point to blakeyrat.

Once I got to the point of seeing that you were apparently an alien in @accalia's little meltdown, I summoned you and forgot the whole thing. Brain bleach is wonderful. ;)
Now, thanks to your detailed post, it seems I need a new application.

just be careful not to overdo it. otherwise you'll forget your own name.

oh.... well at least write yourself a not to remind you what your name is.

Ok, I have all these reminders that I'm someone named "@abarker", and apparently I'm a computer programmer. Cool!
But why is fox talking to me with such obvious typos?

So you can yell at me for asking you lots of questions, right?

My employer solved the problem by forbidding AC except for special rooms. Working on a hot summer's day is a joy.
This post should read "former employer, who is now bankrupt, because no one will work under those conditions in first-world nations".

My wife still insists on mucking around with fan speeds and shit. Ridiculous. It's not a huge thing, but it's really nice.
My wife does the same thing. When she drives my vehicle, the climate control is always off because she gets in it and cranks the fan speed to high. It specifically waits a very short period of time before turning on so that it does not blast you with hot air in the summer, or in the winter the fan does not kick on until the engine temp has come up a little bit so it does not freeze you out. Yet, despite the explanation of these new-fangled technologies, she still dicks around with the fan control.
I gave up on her vehicle, because I never drive it.

That's not a comment on your taste.

They said Business Casual, and we joked that they didn't say 'no costumes', and that we should show up as wizards or something.
I think I have told this story before, but they changed the dress code at a friend's workplace. No jeans, no t-shirts, etc. The developers have a floor entirely to themselves, so they had always been able to wear what they wished. My friend looks over the rules, notices that it said nothing about prohibiting the wearing of a kilt and proceeded to wear one to work for weeks.

I really wish the thermostat in my car had a "not more than X degrees above/below outside air" setting.
The CANBUS is wide open. Program your own shit and make it so.

OTOH, I wonder how families went along through the centuries. Or, rather since the invention of air-tight windows and thermostates.
So actually only about 50 years?
Balanced flue systems are a really good idea with gas heating. With only minimal maintenance, they're both safe and pretty efficient.
The average gas-based central heating system here in the Netherlands uses this. The gas heats a circulating liquid (water) which is pumped around the house to heat all rooms, and that liquid is the only source of heat fed to the rest of the home.
They also produce hot water at a sufficient rate to feed the shower, so the hot water never runs out<INSERT 5 COINS TO CONTINUE READING THIS STORY>
My twisted curiosity insists I contribute a coin to that cause.

In the same circuit? That's disgusting.
"Who wants to have a shower in radiator water! Whee!"

Nah, I'm pretty sure there's a second heat exchanger.

Some of those carnival mirrors can perform miracles...

Radiator water is flowing through pipes. Shower water is flowing through pipes. What's the difference?
-
A post clearly written by someone who has 1) never lived in a house with radiators, or 2) never bled them.
-
Both of those things are true and yet you have failed to answer the question I asked.
-
Flow speed is very different. Radiators get a build up of crud and things growing in them. I mean pipes get it too, but very much less.
-
What if the flow through the radiator pipes is also the flow to the shower?
-
When the shower isn't running what do you do to keep water flowing at that rate through the radiators? Otherwise you still get the issues of warm not quite standing water in the radiator, which is why some have issues with the idea of using it.

The basin in my bathroom has a bowl. The toilet also has a bowl. What's the difference?

Other than you have presumably shat in one and not the other? Not much.

So every time you replace your toilet, there's a 50 percent chance you'll end up pissing in the sink until the next replacement?
