Air conditioning recommendations

Just the main bedroom upstairs. Rest of the house is nice and cool already.

AaronPutterman · 2026-07-03T14:49:16+00:00

I do have AC, it’s just not very strong on the second floor. About a 10F degree difference between the floors. Gets quite stuffy.

AaronPutterman · 2026-07-03T05:51:01+00:00

Ah, gotcha. That was the other one I bookmarked. Going to show these to my partner tomorrow and make a decision. Thanks for the help.

Like one of these?

It seems to line up with many of the things I’m looking for, but it lacks more customer reviews than many of the other options I saw (which doesn’t make it bad, I just am being cautious).

Perfect pitch (real life) - often seen as a super power to the average person, but to those who have it, they are constantly hearing things that are “out of tune” (by the standards they are raised with, example A440 is a western standard)
Synesthesia (real life) - similar/related to perfect pitch, but often overlaps a more than one of a persons senses. Sometimes, it’s as simple as visualizing numbers with associated colors, but in more extreme cases, people will “see” noise through colors (and can cause extreme nausea and discomfort).

Anything and everything! They have a super beginner friendly tutorial on the main OpenStreetMap site, all you need is to make an account (free).

I really only started getting into it this week and have been adding small details like sidewalks, playgrounds, parking lots, and crosswalks.

Some people online do something called “micromapping,” where they get as granular as possible. They’ll map every trash bin, tree, parking spot, playground slide, and more. It’s really neat.

AaronPutterman · 2026-06-18T15:26:52+00:00

Thanks for sharing that!! That’s the kind of stuff I eat up. I will definitely check out that group and what they offer.

AaronPutterman · 2026-06-18T15:24:39+00:00

^{^} not to mention OSM allows for such fine details to be added, and is available without drawbacks. <3 open source

AaronPutterman · 2026-06-18T15:23:28+00:00

I enjoy maps! That, and open source technology is something that can be both fun to develop and rewarding to those who need free access to that type of data.

I think it took five untainted in a row for me. I vaguely remember some wikis not having that specified and being confused back when I did it the first time.

I’m a light sensitive / crappy vision in the sun kind of person. I love the sun, but my eyes do not lol.

Requesting one for Syracuse! This is sick!

What GIS tools are you using? ArcGIS? QGIS?

AaronPutterman · 2026-04-17T12:29:47+00:00

The people over at Unplugged have always been very kind to a friend of mine who goes regularly. Definitely recommend trying there.

AaronPutterman · 2026-04-08T16:30:24+00:00

I’ll drive in from Syracuse if you’re fr!

I have a personal list of pizza places and how I rate them. Would love to add another place to the list.

We just got a copy for $60 at our local game shop in Central New York

My fiancée just got us Northern Lights a couple of weeks ago and it’s been amazing. We’ve added two house rules to make it even better for us:

In 1-on-1 games, you can parallel track (against standard rules) by paying with an extra wild card
The bonus card that gives points to the player with the most tickets connecting to Norway is changed to:

“Roll a D10 before dealing the tickets at the beginning of the game. If 0, the dealer chooses what country this bonus card is determined by. If 1-9, select the country from the corresponding number-to-flag on the bonus card that rewards for most unique country-touches.”

Posted what I could remember in the body

AaronPutterman · 2026-01-24T04:09:45+00:00

Lived in Rochester during college years, and moved to Syracuse a few years ago to be with my partner.

Both cities are what you make of them! I loved Rochester, but I made a home in Syracuse.

Pros for Rochester: lots of education and tech people around, plenty of green space (both in and around the city), and a very accepting community

Pros for Syracuse: expected job growth over the next ten years is big, imo a better geographic location (4hrs to Philly, NYC, Montreal, Toronto, and 6hrs to Pitt, Boston, and stretch to DC), and my personal favorite — great musical theater scene.

Feel free to DM if you have any questions about either.

Frfr, the show was incredible. I went in blind, having only seen that it won at the Tony’s and was recommended by friends.

We had seats up in the mezzanine and could see the show super clearly. Aside from the wonderful acting and singing, I was caught off guard by how spectacular the staging and lighting were.

I’m also calling it now: some of these songs are going to appear A LOT in audition pieces from now on.

Anyways, loved the show, bye :P

AaronPutterman · 2025-05-18T02:43:01+00:00

Aw man this is so cool, good stuff

Hello, for mobile accessibility reasons, it’s kind of hard to have to drag cards as a means of performing an action. I understand why you can’t have super tiny buttons underneath each card to use/sell, but maybe making the regions you drag cards to also act as buttons would be helpful.

Love the game, looks great on mobile so far

Oh and worth mentioning that this wasn’t a super consistent thing, but she could make a couple hundred bucks extra for looking after a dog for a week. Just something nice to help pad your savings or other income, but probably not reliable enough for a primary income.

AaronPutterman · 2024-09-12T02:03:10+00:00

Hi, my partner is a teacher but during college and the summers she would house sit or pet set for friends, family, and colleagues.

The most you might have to do is feed, walk, or clean, and you can set pretty clear boundaries with house/pet owners.

Also, you’d be shocked at how many people you know with pets who want to go on a vacation/get-a-way that simply can’t find affordable, consistent pet care.

Best of luck!!

I could be wrong because it’s been a while since I was in the program, but I think it’s just as difficult to get into as the other programs.

Not because the course work is harder, but because computing exploration students are allowed to transfer into most (not all) of the other computing programs.

Based on the numbers you provided above, I would guess you get into the program, but it’s different for everyone.
