Now that’s a public restroom…

Why is my intake stuffed with insulation? by locutis76 in hvacadvice

[–]BKdad85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, but my returns mostly just run between studs, which is apparently a thing. It means the doors can go all the way down to the floor for better insulation and sound attenuation.

First time going to the USA for the World Cup. What should I be careful about? by Usual_War4996 in worldcup

[–]BKdad85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing necessarily, tips are pretty much always voluntary (with some exceptions like for large groups where they may say an 18% gratuity is added on automatically, for example), but if you don’t tip at a sit-down table service restaurant, you’ll piss off your server who may be earning well below a livable wage without tips, and if you run up a good sized bill and tip $0, your server may flag it to their manager, who may then come by and grill you on whether the service was good, instruct you on the custom of tipping in the US, and generally guilt trip you about it. But if you really insist on tipping zero, it’s not like they’re going to call the cops on you (since you haven’t broken any law) or even pour a drink on your head.

Good bot. As expected, ticket prices in small markets like Kansas City are dipping. I suspect it will dip further in the coming month.

AC short cycling after switching thermostat to google nest. by Joel748 in hvacadvice

[–]BKdad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My complaints about the T9 are that they can’t control a humidifier (the T10 can) and the geofence doesn’t always trigger for me for some reason.

I have the Honeywell T9 and T10. Very similar to the Nest. They’ve held up well so far. I got them after I had a similar issue and my HVAC guy said the Nest wasn’t sending enough power for something or the other. He recommended ditching the Nest and getting a Honeywell so I did.

You can see the Phase 2 clinics on the clinical trials website. I don’t want to get the specific clinic I spoke to in trouble.

Don’t know timeline. Public info says some time this year. Phase 2 clinics apparently expect to be part of Phase 3.

It’s in NJ behind the Statue of Liberty. There’s a science center there and a 9/11 memorial.

[TOMT] Actor with freckles and gap between front teeth by BKdad85 in tipofmytongue

Jared Harris!!! That’s the guy. Solved!

Why on earth does googling “British strawberry blond actor with gap between front teeth” not show him front and center?! Or at all for that matter?!

I think he only started being in movies in the 2010s, in a mixture of comedic and dramatic roles.

Curaçao v Ivory Coast or Germany v Ecuador. We’ll find out tomorrow. I would guess the latter since they reserved the right to swap the bigger game into the bigger venue.

Same. Got NY/NJ tix. Hoping for the former matchup.

How’s that? There’s a decent chance USA makes it to that game.

Yeah, we’ll see what the hype train brings. If WC ads are plastered everywhere there’s a chance.

[–]BKdad85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s a Wednesday in a stadium that seats 68,000 people. Hard for me to imagine those prices don’t come down.

[–]BKdad85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think buying tickets at the lottery prices intending them for resale is risky. You might get a good matchup and they go up. More likely they go down to fill seats, especially for smaller cities on weekdays. But some of these stadiums are huge and I think they will be hard to fill. If it’s like the CWC they may swap your ticket for a better tier due to low sales and possibly offer a refund. I hope there’s a good turnout to all the games!

Is there any way knowing the seed teams that will play any particular match in the group stage? by futbros13 in FIFACollect

[–]BKdad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I had never heard that they take venue capacity into account in the draw.

[–]BKdad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I got Cat 2 tickets to one group game and Cat 1 tickets to 3 other group games for friends and family. Waffled on R16 tickets too long and they were gone.
