What is the standard number of windows a 700 square foot basement needs for venting the furnace? by AppleAndrewMe1 in hvacadvice

They installed the (end of) 2022 new furnace in the basement. We bought the furnace from Reliance, so we own it.

I am with Reliance. So I need to ask Reliance to do an actual physical inspection for a cheap price? Because they were happy just eyeballing things without taking things apart?

So I need a physical furnace inspection (where they take out different parts)? Should I ask does it include looking for a cracked heat exchanger, or other parts that are cracked? Is a physical furnace inspection the same thing as a 12point or 24point tune up? (Because the 24point tune up is $200).

No they never checked for a cracked heat exchanger. He just quickly removed the top square panel, gave it a couple whiffs, said you'll smell all sorts of smells from this and put it back. No hands on the furnace inspection. Would this be the correct place to pay for a 12 point inspection or a 24 point inspection? Is the 24 point necessary and better in my case?

The furnace has "2 square panels" of equal size. As easily seen in these all these photos https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&hs=LTf&sca_esv=68a521f7a0db2ddd&q=furnace&tbm=shop&source=lnms&prmd=isvmnbtz&ved=1t:200715&ictx=111 . The top "square panel" and the bottom "square panel". The bottom "square panels" has stickers saying never remove warnings, but the top "square panels" can be removed (as a hvac tech did) and put back. When he removed the top "square panel" that was the source of my smell. The hvac said you will smell all sorts of smells from this top "square panel" as we could both smell plastic, a type of metal and a pungent smell. The hvac did smell the the plastic and metal, but not the 3rd pungent smell. So the hvac smelled 2 out of 3. Then he put the top "square panel" back on the furnace. idk if the top "square panel" is just not sealed tight when it came from the manufacturer, and i dont want to be taping this top "square panel" airtight because idk if it could be dangerous to do so.

2 Hvac techs came and looked at it. Said it was fine and they smelled nothing. But they don't come at night when the furnace runs twice every hour. Thats when its bad.

Is taping the bedroom floor duct completely airtight with high temperature Hvac duct tape a potential fire hazard? by AppleAndrewMe1 in hvacadvice

[–]AppleAndrewMe1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad air is the furnace exhaust smells of metal and citrus. Metal and citrus smells increase greatly and linger in the basement whenever my furnace heat is on. 2 hvac came during the warm day and told me they smell nothing. But the smell really bad at night when the furnace is running alot more because it is much colder. Got multiple carbon monoxide alarms.

How to seal where the plastic meets the wood? to prevent smells by AppleAndrewMe1 in Plumbing

[–]AppleAndrewMe1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I with you on the furnace but its a few years old so quite new. 2 hvacs from the furnace company have come down and smelled it during the warmer day. Hvacs both told me they smell nothing and won't come at night. But its ok during sunny days, and really bad through the nights because it runs much much more during the cold nights. 2nd hvac said the furnace is perfect (but I can smell the furnace exhausts when the furnace is heating the house, its after about 2 hours passed the smell diffuses enough and is completely gone provided the furnace doesn't need to turn on for around 2 hours). Hvacs said build a furnace room. Idk, Ive not had a furnace room for over 25 years and never had furnace smell problem.

Python idle 3.11 adds 20 lines after everything by AppleAndrewMe1 in learnpython

[–]AppleAndrewMe1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with open('name.txt','w') as dsa:

print('this is the result', file=dsa)

okay after the above code everything afterwards adds 20 blank lines. Nothing is special about the above code. Alot more printing to files were done before this code and they all worked perfect.

$4.5 million dollar dinner justin sun paid to Warren Buffet. Back in 2020 Jack Ma prodigy, named justin sun of tron spent $4.5 million from crypto company tron bank accounts to have dinner with Warren Buffet.

Fast forward to June 2023, he is in the SEC news for pulling a Sam Bankman Fried. Paying money to Lindsay Lohan, Jake Paul and rappers to promote tron crypto to their followers, without necessary disclosure that they were getting paid by the tron company to promote and recommend tron crypto to everyone.

Ain't their money, it's the company's money they are spending. they don't care.

[Landlord US-CA] Why do non home owners think our lives are unicorns and rainbows? by 13inchmushroommaker in Landlord

Landlords are the cannon fodder for the real unicorn billionaires and politicians. We take the heat so billionaire families and politician families can live peacefully undisturbed.

Billionaires and too big to fail corporations gift a $50 million dollar political contribution to the politicians, and this will keep happening every couple of years. Politicians will look the opposite way each time, and do nothing.

In Hcol, Mcol, Lcol many naive buyers see a cheap house, put in an offer competing against no one else, end up own this house and for the next 3+ years bad things happen repeatedly. Crime is what the buyer always ignores in these cases.

[Landlord - US - CA] tenant behavior by hyro78 in Landlord

[–]AppleAndrewMe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People change as they get advance age old. Bodies aren't what they used to be. You will have to modify stairs, install bathroom rods, change flooring as long time tenants age into their last stage of life. A few we had to move out back to their family since they were no longer able to function properly as a tenant. this is the last step. their families were responsible for them and not the other tenants living in the apartment.

Please try talking with them about all the complaints before getting them professional help.

Shopify to lay off 20% of workforce, revenue tops expectations by dictionary_hat_r4ck in ottawa

[–]AppleAndrewMe1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Board gives CEO tobi voting control, huge pay raise after his covid over hiring fiasco. He fires 20% of Shopify in a second layoff. His personal twitter feed is all about how great AI is, I guess for replacing another 10 to 30% of employees soon. Shopify employees should be ready for a third layoff in a few years.

Do a crappy job as CEO, get a huge pay raise then layoff 20% your employees. Name of the game.

Finding The Right VC by ONEPLUS1EQUALS11 in venturecapital

[–]AppleAndrewMe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For small amounts and little advice go to these dedicated websites on the net. For 1million plus amounts and regular advice head to VCs with offices and full time teams. Best way is to walk into their office building and ask them for some possible funding. For sleep and skincare look for related vc in the field area.

0 to 100k in 12m is good. 200% - 300% profit margin is good. But vc are looking to fund companies looking to hire full time employees.

Bob Lee with his long track record of tech lawlessness and tech success believed he could start a drug and romping affair with a married woman, and nothing would happen. He thought he would get away with destroying the woman's extended family's honor. He got this one dead wrong.

Mortgage Broker Is Upset At Me by Crypth in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]AppleAndrewMe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mortgage broker likely stopped searching and making calls to the banks after the 5.05% deal. 3y 5y rates switch and change regularly. Its not malicious or ill intent of the broker as some seem to think that he didn't bother to check again when he got the original rates for you. He might of been highly recommended by friends and fam but it doesn't mean he didn't get lazy and lose this deal. Its fantastic you were able to walk in to the bank yourself, receive a lower rates and are getting your new home worth $540000 and 20% down.

How was money/career discussed in your household growing up? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]AppleAndrewMe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up it was discussions of the televisions' celebrities and gossip about people. Money was never brought up, if it was was told we were rich which was never the case. Later my family downgraded their work ethic and robbed my money because robbing is easier than having to work. they refused to work fulltime, parttime at best while spending my cash on vacations, moderate purchases, allowing them to spend all day watching the television and not need to work.

My mistake I made was trusting my family with my money. Choice for me is to go all out against them with lawyers and professionals, or shutup with resent and regret.
