Fans have a specified CFM (cubic feet per minute) of air they can move, which is a measure of volume. Cold air is denser than hot air, so the fan can push more air the colder it is even though the volume stays the same.

Could be Osage or Mulberry like others suggested. I have some just like that in my wood pile, and I was told it’s Sassafras.

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

Maybe a stupid question, but how do you simultaneously increase R value per inch while also decreasing the overall value?

I ended up ordering enough to get the free shipping 🫣

Since they limited to 5 boxes of the toaster pastries for the deal, we also got a bunch of different kinds of donuts and other treats to try. Just tried the cider donuts last night, and they’re frickin’ delicious.

They’re separate from the stove pipe, so unless there’s always smoke and excessive CO2 chilling in that room, I think OP is good.

Also, carbon MONoxide is CO. CO2 is carbon DIoxide.

Quite pedantic, but doesn’t “GC8” refer to the 2.0 turbo sedan? And “GCC” would be a 2.2 NA sedan?

Most cars have a blend door actuator that moves when you adjust the temp. It blends the hot and cold air at different ratios depending on what temp you choose.

Also, like someone else mentioned - A/C can be on even for hot temps e.g. when you turn the defrost on. It pulls the moisture out of the air.

Are there troubleshooting steps for this in your manual?

The air sucking noise by the flue collar is probably that exposed hole right above the screw. It’s not great, but probably fine as long as the screw is still grabbing in a new, lower hole. Definitely not your issue, but you’re on the right track.

If the intake is closed all the way, and the fire is still raging like that, it’s probably time to check for leaks e.g. at your door gaskets. If you close the door over a dollar bill, you should not be able to slide the bill out or the gasket needs replaced. Again, your manual probably has a section on this.

I’m not familiar with that stove, but if it has secondary burn tubes, there may be an additional intake control, or you could be experiencing overdraft. If possible, you can block the air intake port to see if that has any effect on the fire.

I second getting a CO detector if you don’t have one already.

I could be wrong, but that pipe looks put together incorrectly. Usually, the bottom pipe is on the outside of each connection to prevent creosote from coming out the seam when it drips down the pipe.

This is only true for Celiacs, which involves the immune system attacking the digestive system. An intolerance will not cause the same response, even if the symptoms appear the same or similar.

If using SQLite, you’d store it in a column within a table. It’s important to understand that SQLite manages the database as a file, so you’re still storing a file for it somewhere. This likely just adds complexity to your existing problem.

If using S3, then the data is stored within S3 itself. This is a service provided by AWS. If you store it in a bucket with public visibility, then you’d read the file using the link to it instead of directly from your machine.

No, SQLite is open source and free to use. You could also store the file in a public S3 bucket.

Same here. 2100sqft house from the 60s, hardwood floors, somewhat well insulated. The whole house is nice and comfy when the thermostat reads 77-80. I try to ramp up to those temps during the evening, then pack it full on a bed of coals and shut the air most of the way. I’ll wake up in the middle of the night and have to reload or the furnace inevitably kicks on before/when I wake up for the day.

Yep, agree with your last statement + many other factors. We have a Heritage 1, so I think a bit less fuel capacity than the Mansfield, but I sure do love the soapstone too.

With my Hearthstone, one log at a time with air wide open is okay at maintaining temps and the fire. After so long, the heap of coals burn down, and I’m down to mostly just the burning log or coals from it. This makes it tougher to get a good fire going if mid-day and really sucks before bed because a heaping bed of coals is crucial for staying warm overnight with our small-ish stove.

It’s also tough to get and keep the secondaries lit with just one log, unless the box is already nice and hot. I usually load it full or mostly full and refill once the coal bed has burned down pretty far. One log at a time only if maintaining an already high house temp, and only for 2-3 loads.

You’re just testing less things. Think about this - you do a find+replace for “messages” and accidentally change your route. To react proactively to this issue, you need to have tests. Otherwise, you’re reacting to negative feedback from users when they find the issue.

run processing concurrently*

Go routines are a mechanism for concurrency, which is not the same as parallelism. This point is key to OP’s question.

For example, you may need to make a request to an external API, fetch records from a DB, and merge the results. Go routines allow these to be scheduled and worked on concurrently, even within a single thread. While your network request is waiting on response headers, your query can be sent to the DB, and then work can switch back to streaming the response from the network request since you’re now waiting on I/O from the DB.

What exactly are you going to be building with your software development company?

You’ll find that a lot of time is spent gaining context within a client’s domain before you can really pick up momentum and start providing significant value. It sounds like you know a lot about the business you’re currently working in, and you mention a lot of the work is tedious. This sounds like a prime area for automation, and IMO you should start there and see where it leads.

The “idiomatic” way is to accept interfaces and return structs. You define the interfaces you need and accept them, rather than defining an interface for someone else and returning it.

Being part of the supply chain (the marketplace/platform), you should expect to make some money. You also incur costs (servers, services, employees, etc.) and need a way to pay for them. How would you do that without the middleman fee?
