I hate having a car. I think it's stupid and unnecessarily expensive.

Iconic lines from Cartman in South Park (S14E3)

Billy: Do you wanna do it?

Cartman: Do I wanna do it? Does the pope help pedophiles get away with their crime?

Billy: Is that something you would want to do?

Cartman: Is that something I would want to do? Is the pope Catholic...and making the world safe for pedophiles?

Billy: You wouldn't do that.

Cartman: Does a bear crap in the woods? And does the pope crap on the broken lives and dreams of 200 deaf boys?

JF does support live TV (and radio now it seems)

Yeah I really liked the case, in theory. And I'm really happy you like it. I did have to trim the case as well. I swapped out for a Fractal Design Node 804. Definitely bigger, but I like it a lot more

Do you like the U-Nas? I had an 810a (I think thad was the model) and found it way too restrictive in terms of size.

The PCIE slot also needed a riser cable since the card has to be parallel with the motherboard, the cable blocked about 1/3 of the CPU fan. I had a pcie card since it was an HBA

I honestly don't like Gwent. Maybe never got into it enough.

This was a great episode, and was great to hear this way to use trucks....

I'm super worried they're not gonna do rocky well. I think the appropriate thing would be to use subtitles, however I doubt normal people would be into that

I just poked on the demo and I think it could, however it might be a bit clunky. Maybe could be a viable thing to request of the dev. Maybe alongside a donation for a sort of bounty.

I think it's gonna end up being bad. Mainly because most people are gonna hear on Fox News that this was due to some flaw in Signal, and just take that at face value. A lot of people are not gonna even read an article about why or what even happened.

 

Are you kidding me?

President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday ordered a halt to New York City’s congestion pricing system, which thins traffic and funds mass transit by imposing high tolls on drivers entering some parts of Manhattan.

Launched on Jan. 5, the city’s system uses license plate readers to impose a $9 toll on most passenger cars entering Manhattan neighborhoods south of Central Park. In its early days, transit officials say the toll has brought modest but measurable traffic reductions.

 

Hello all, I am moving into a new apartment, and was planning on replacing the thermostats with Z-Wave ones. I currently have a Honeywell T6 Pro Z-Wave in my current apartment, and was planning on picking up a couple more.

When I was at the new place today, I took a look inside of one of the thermostats and saw something I was not expecting. They are all 120VAC line voltage thermostats. The heating and cooling is shared between the building, and whether heating or cooling is on is a whole building schedule. The person in the leasing office that was touring us around the new place when we got our keys said that it switches to heat in october or November.

Attached are a couple of photos of the thermostat and a photo of the vent in the wall (although not sure if that is helpful). The thermostat is a Honeywell T651A. I am not sure of what the actual HVAC equipment looks like.

This obviously throws a hamper in my plans, and now I have to look for alternatives. I am not super familiar with 120VAC HVAC, so I wanted to get some advice from others. I believe it is a heated/chilled water system, and the thermostat simply controls the pump/blower in the wall panel (one of the photos). The fact that there is both heating and cooling is what is confusing me, since all of the 120VAC thermostats I have seen are only for heating. Obviously it all boils down to how the temperature is compared to the set point. If the building switches to cooling (which won't be a problem for about 6 months after it switches I am guessing), the comparison will be backwards.

If anyone is able to point me to any resources on how I can learn about this control system, that would be great. I found the Stelpro KI Z-Wave Thermostat which I think will work, but I am not sure what happens when it switches to cooling in the spring. I prefer Z-Wave since I have found it to be far more reliable (especially in a larger building. This is a 7 floor building with ~15 units on each floor. So there is a lot of 2.4GHz traffic I assume), however if anyone knows of a product that will work for this (if the Stelpro one won't) I'm all ears.
