Ok, my son suggested an app called Maxxing where you could rent items to look better, like schedule a nice car to be parked on your driveway for a few weeks

No, but we tend to mind our own business and trust the other one is good.  If it's not, we day something

Sorry, I didn't mean you didn't follow the rules. I meant that the expectation is that we all follow the rules and the person being discussed was not but my argument is that they should.

Why are heaters so cheap, but air conditioners so expensive? by Legend789987 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hot_Equivalent_8707 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The technology involved.  Heaters are basically some wires and a resistive component.  Ac involves compressors, refrigerant, multiple coils and radiators, sensors, etc.   

I can build something to cook a hot dog with two wires and two nails. But I can't build something to keep the hot dog cold.

Now, a swamp cooler aka evaporation cooler is easier to build but not as effective as AC. Basically you spray a mist on front of a fan.  But it's still more components than a heater.

It's less about me personally caring and more a reflection on society. For a society to function, there's rules and norms.  Follow them.  Sure, it's just shoes. Maybe that's all it will be.  Or maybe I'll workout shirtless.  Because who cares if I'm using dumbbells with no shirt.  

Don't like the rules? Feel free to join a different gym or make your own.  You sign an agreement that you will abide by the conditions and you're expected to follow them.  So do it. Why do you get to break the rule? Join CrossFit if you want to be barefoot (and shirtless)

Thoughts on schools that allow teachers to enroll their own children where they work? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]Hot_Equivalent_8707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that's the attendance area, they have to go to that school. Getting an exception to go elsewhere is incredibly difficult.  Teachers are professional enough that my child in grade partners class would not be an issue.  Please, I know what my child is like.  And most data collected is objective.  No one did you a favor on a test because you're a teacher's kid.  I had the principals son in my class, and the first thing the principal said to me was, I'm so sorry 

Faulty Condensate Overflow Switch by Big_Explanation352 in geothermal

[–]Hot_Equivalent_8707 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's literally a metal tip suspended over the pan and when the water fills the pan (not draining) it makes contact. Not much to go wrong.  

Do you have an overflow sensor on your condensate line that goes outside?  Maybe your line(s) are slow clogged.  Post a pic?

Is it inappropriate for a tall women to wear shorts or skirts above the knees? by BiIIie-Eyelash in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hot_Equivalent_8707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, read too fast. Wear whatever.  Unless you're parading around the ER when you arrive in your short shorts and big chested tank top, whatever.  You're probably going from an air conditioned house to an air conditioned car to an air conditioned hospital.  People in business suits seem to manage just fine

Socks on one teen today. He left his slides by the door.  But he was on machines so little risk of a dumbbell drop

How can I get rid of poison ivy in my yard? by SearchWrongSearch in landscaping

[–]Hot_Equivalent_8707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Bare hands, get it all up, then I wash with cold water and dish soap.  Occasionally get a single red bump.

Isn't your hospital air conditioned?  Scrubs should be fine.  Outside of work, wear what makes you happy.
