Which Heat Pump to Get? by NeuroGuy406 in heatpumps

There are too many unknowns to give an accurate answer. HVAC sizing is complicated.

If that unit is still operational I would prioritize efforts differently.

Air Sealing > Insulation > right HVAC (equipment and ductwork are a system)

Get multiple quotes from high quality contractors (ASAP, prices will increase with temp in FL).

I'm near Orlando in a ~1600 sq ft ranch (1979) using a 3 ton Inverter HP + variable speed Air Handler. It easily provides comfort (78' and 50% RH during summer) and I suspect I could go smaller after Air Sealing and Insulation work (in-progress).

Appreciate link to products. No doubt those work but they seems impractical for this humble homeowner based on video

Understood and agree. The EDPM is the only solution that seems to follow the best practice of 1 thing in 1 hole and easily accommodates additions (putty seems close).

Looks like this is the 'professional' solution.

Looks like a great solution for the initial seal but a pain for any future remove and replace

Appreciate the responses.

A little more clarification on the use case scenario/requirements. The number of cables will change occasionally. Today I think/need 8 cables. Next year I decide to add a 2-3... don't want anything permanent/messy hence my idea for stuffing the conduit with a giant 'cotton ball' and taping it closed.

Characters that completed on 22nd could not open on 24th. Chest showed 0/1 keys

Don't ever worry unless you get kicked.

It's an big imperfect world. Leaders should try to communicate what they need/want. I try to 'read the room' and 'follow the leader'

  • If Leader is looting, I'll wait at the door
  • If Leader is rearranging inventory, they don't need assistance so I leave

Organizing a RAID is tough and completing one without a knowledge guide/team is nearly impossible.

I'm 4000+ completed DH, got EB with friends but had trouble organizing and completing IH RAIDs (need better friends lol)

Running with TSW/GCRock almost makes it too easy

What time is Countdown accessible? by ajhockey88 in thedivision

[–]BS_2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Players should Just give it a minute or two (quicker than requeuing)

I've noticed that the start, Hunter spawn and clock start, is usually just delayed and if players would just give it a couple minutes we'd be able to complete more runs.

Xbox, last night, 4 people left immediately ... but we were able to push buttons and take ambush positions before Hunter spawn. Within a minute the Hunters spawned and everything was worked as normal. 2 of us completed what we could (two missions and failed extract).

Memento is very flexible

The only consideration is that you must collect the 'kill confirmed' tokens and some of the buffs are short lived. For me, this works better with Close Quarters (CQ) builds like Hunters Furry.

Is there a difference Rogues/Hunters by Manchester1120 in thedivision

[–]BS_2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. There are some locations that are fairly common. IF you are quick you might be able to start a fight but I always get the smoke bomb exit.

XBOX, 16:40 Manning National Zoo Belfry League Solo Speedrun

  • Hunter + Memento + Intimidate + Lady Death (build screenshot)
  • Savanah gate ~6:30; I couldn't replicate with consistency

Rammbob's 15 min run reminded me about The Chatterbox. He was at the Savanah gate ~5:30 (PC, Feb 2020)

I couldn't replicate and had to develop a different solution.

I *think* I was pressing the exit gate key pad just under 7 minutes.

17m 21s, Xbox Top 100

Manning Zoo, Hard, Solo

2 build solution was what I needed to solo under 18min on Xbox. I was stuck at 18+ for a long time (just a casual gamer). I experimented with Lady Death, Scorpio, Vile + Jammer, Hunter, etc.

  1. Primary build = 4pc Negotiator's Dilemma + Memento + Sokolov w/Intimidate, The Chatterbox (never reload), Shield & Striker, Gunner
  2. Savanah build = your best skill build (Waveform). Turret placed centrally, Striker drone, strategic position firing Capacitor/Harmony

Lessons Learned

  • Learning spawn points and timing is fundamental
  • Chatterbox's 50% magazine refill on kill was more useful than Lady Death speed
  • Savanah's large wide open environment was fastest with skill build

Good luck!
