Still think about this from HS. Years later. Such a good one.

I asked my barber to shave the gap between them at first. Then he responded with "can I just do the whole thing? It'll look sick"

It did in fact, look great

Same but my current job....

Granted. They switched us all to the app instead of the hard token. Which is stupid. And they only allow the hard token for certain scenarios

I haven't watched Futurama besides a few clips here and there. However my friends say I need to. Same with Community

I'm a little salty about this. They should just leave it to rest. It had a great 8 seasons, that's enough.

This line floors me every time. I have seen the show countless times, and know it's coming everytime. I love to shuffle shows, but Scrubs is risky to shuffle because of shit like this

I read The Lottery by her in High School. Damn that is a good short story

Having read it multiple times, the trailer pissed me off because of the spoiler. I'd honestly say for anyone, whether you've read it or not, don't watch the trailer.

My partner hasn't read it, and I said they shouldn't watch the trailer. We're gonna see the movie and I don't want them to get spoiled

Interesting timing for this to pop into my feed now, since I just finished listening to the Masters of Doom audiobook the other day. Highly recommend for those who having read or listened

Saw some in London last month.

At this point that falls in line with MAGA gear to me, which lots of people have mentioned

Reminds me of a final exam in university (engineering course) where the Prof said we could use one double sided sheet. I wrote it in red and blue pen and brought 3D glasses. It was helpful for duplicate things with different info like some tables. I barely used it, but I thought it was clever and funny

 

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.
