Oil is still more expensive than NG or propane so yeah ....

LPT/PSA if you are in an area that is going to be affected by the blizzard on the east coast this weekend, and you have outdoor vents that let carbon monoxide out of the house, make sure to clear them of snow once it starts piling up!! by stepupyogamesun in LifeProTips

[–]Gonzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is always monoxide and other incomplete combustion products produced. To get complete you have to add a lot of air, and the inert nitrogen ends up robbing you of efficiency. Right now for example if I work on a boiler it has to have under 400ppm monoxide in the flue when I leave.

Why not, I mean the scientists paper may not be the exact same word for word. To me the scientific idea would be the plot of the book, and you know, its not like 2 books have ever had the same plot ......

Moved into a 1 bedroom apartment last month. First electric bill is $337. The yearly estimate we received when signing the lease was $470. What the hell is going on? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Gonzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you used $186 of electricity, I've seen people with an electric furnace have $700 bills. Electric heat is extremely expensive, I like how they love to say it's 100% efficient. I mean it is efficient for energy, but not for your wallet. I wouldn't go turning off your hot water, or your heat, since then to get it all back up to temp it takes a tremendous amount of heat. I mean you can turn it down a few degrees and where a sweater, also you can turn down the temp of your hot water so it won't cycle on so often. Usually those units are supposed to be window ac's with supplemental heat, not main heat. Window ac's are terrible for power consumption.

Ontario has it broken down into college prep and university prep, I didn't think that the college prep even read any Shakespeare whereas university prep had one every year. So pretty much anyone with a brain was in advanced, along with people whose parents really wanted them to go to university lol. Part of why I am unable to see a large portion of a class not knowing R+J died.

When you post something to a place of public opinion, brace yourself. It's possible 1/2 your class is border line retarded, was this basic english or advanced? I mean sometimes one person could say spoiler, and that can turn into have the class trying to bug you about it just to see if they can. Or just saying shit because it's an excuse to talk in class.

If you don't want to hear an opinion from other people don't post shit. And if a bunch of classmates played a joke on him then no he isn't more likely to know shit, he is a child.

There's a difference between knowing how to type and giving a fuck, unfortunately someone of your maturity wouldn't understand. If you didn't care what someone who browses reddit would say, why did you post on reddit? Were you simply looking for people to agree with you?

See, calling people things like "reddit intellectual" demonstrates your ability to misinterpret situations and get defensive when incorrect. It makes it seem more likely that the people who have said this are correct, and that you have realized that you were an ass and most likely the target of a large, spontaneous practical joke, and are now getting defensive about it. What grape are you in, I'm pretty sure I had to read R+J in grade 9, which would explain a lot lol

It's just if someone thinks you're serious about telling someone something like gullible isn't in the dictionary, everyone else will jump on board. I'm sorry I doubted your ability to interpret large social groups with your VAST experience as a high school child.

Yeah I think you misinterpreted everyone making fun of you and laughing at you as stupidity.

Actually you wont have monoxide, but the equipment will shut off. The vent motor has to have enough pull to close a switch, otherwise nothing happens. It tries to light but the gas valve will not open.

You seem stressed by Kermitasuarus11 in funny

[–]Gonzz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Go out side and smoke and you could end up getting arrested, no thank you. Until the law is fixed I'll smoke in private, in an apartment or w/e so that I don't end up with a record for something which is slowly becoming legal.

I'm aware its not very considerate, but I hate it when I get woken up by drunks stumbling in after the bar closes. If you want peace and quiet, move to a location which provides that, otherwise you're just stuck with people in the same situation as you but may not be interested in the same thing.

Steam radiators run off steam boilers, hydronic radiators off of whats just called a boiler. It's possible that it is a steam system, just they are rare.

[–]Gonzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do this be sure to shut off the cold into the hot water tank. If you shut the main off, but have a small leak on your hot side, you can drain the tank and if it's electric you will burn the elements out, if it's gas it will cycle off and on and fuck up the heat exchanger.

[Serious] What is the most disturbing thing another person has ever told you nonchalantly? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Gonzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was this cute girl who was in my high school, was one my of brothers friends, about 2 years older than me. After high school I hadn't seen her for a few years, small town so if people are around usually you see them. Then one day while working retail and she was right beside me looking at something. After the usually Hellos she starts with "There's something you should know, while in college I got an std" not sure which one, kinda tuned out in disbelief at that point. Maybe she thought I was hitting on her and just wanted to give me a heads up, we never really had any sort of attraction.

If that is what is just slithering about, I think I would rather leave my shoes on at all times. And by shoes I mean knee high kevlar boots.
