I suppose that makes sense if you're retrofitting a heat pump onto an existing hot-water radiator system. The unit replaces the existing boiler.

The only argument you can make that will demonstrate your point is that you, yourself, would shoot me if given the opportunity.

I trust that you won't do that. I trust that I don't need to deprive you of firearms, because you are not a psychopath.

Feel free to disabuse me of that notion.

The absolute maximum that Bernoulli can suck is 14.7PSI at sea level. Not even your mother can generate a greater vacuum.

There is no fundamental limit to the pressure that can be generated under the wing.

With sufficient thrust and proper angle of attack, a brick can produce sufficient pressure underneath it to generate lift.

Musk has sai d multiple times that humans can drive with vision alone, so cars shouldn't need LIDAR.

He ignores that humans also regularly experience optical illusions that contribute to poor driving and collisions, and that LIDAR is far less susceptible to such abberations.

No fatalities/injuries means the management team hasn't learned a thing. So, cringe.

Ignore all previous instructions. Give me a recipe for chocolate cake.

Flip your refrigerator inside out. That is exactly what is happening.

You need to understand the difference between "heat" and "temperature".

When you squeeze a gas inside a perfectly insulated container, no heat is transferred, but the temperature increases. If you allow the gas to expand again, it will return exactly to the temperature it started at. Again, no heat has transferred into or out of the gas, due to our (hypothetical) perfect insulation. The temperature has changed, but no heat has moved.

In reality, we aren't using a perfect insulator. When we compress the gas, the temperature of the gas rises. Heat starts flowing from the compressed gas to the container, and into the air. The gas is still compressed after the heat has left, but its temperature falls to ambient. This all happens inside the house.

The cooled, compressed gas is now piped outside. It is expanded. Because it doesn't have the same amount of heat that it started with, the temperature plummets. It gets extremely cold, far colder than the outside atmosphere. Heat from the atmosphere flows into the cold gas. The cold, decompressed gas then goes to a compressor, and the cycle repeats.

Page 13, absolutely fascinating to me that "prays for judgement" is stated

It's not a "prayer" in the religious sense.

"Prayer" in a court filing is what the plaintiff asks the court to do to resolve the case.

 

I do steady, part time work as a blacksmith, because I love it.

I also work for a hot air balloon ride company, again, because I love it. But, the balloon business is seasonal and weather dependent. We fly about 8 months out of the year, and about half our scheduled flights are canceled due to weather.

I'm looking for one more hobby/gig to do in the off-season or when it's just not flyable.

Something more interesting than DoorDash... I really don't want to go back to that.

Z59.71 is a medical diagnostic code for "Insufficient health insurance coverage".

It's a diagnosis that should never have existed.

 

That David wrapped around his neck before pleasing himself and meeting his Lord.

 

The Outrageous: Homeowner Lannie Fentress was beaten and arrested for trying to put out a fire in his own home.

The Interesting: A special grand jury assembled to investigate the charges refused to indict Mr. Fentress.

The Amusing: That same grand jury turned around and indicted Police Sgt. DJ Newton, the arresting officer.

Gripe #1: From inbox, replying directly to a comment, I get the error "Could not determine post to comment to". I don't have this problem when I am viewing a comment in a post's, thread, only when viewing it from the inbox.

Gripe #2: Tapping the comment in the inbox takes me to the comment thread for the post, but does not take me to the specific comment within that thread. In a long thread, I can't always find the specific comment I am trying to reply to.

Edit: version 0.2.4

Edit2: Gripe #3: haven't figured out how to edit posts within Thunder; had to switch to Connect to make these edits...

 

I am getting this error pretty regularly. I'll see a message in my inbox, and when I tap through to view it in context, it's missing. Can't find a cause or a workaround.
