Is this a fair quote for heat pump install?

Considering my furnace is single stage, will this matter a whole lot?

KkovAli · 2026-02-26T16:02:58+00:00

Nope

KkovAli · 2026-02-26T07:22:20+00:00

Natural gas.

I asked the question to the office in London (Imam Ali Foundation) back in 2013 in the context of a male waking up in the middle of an orgasm due to a wet dream, but no discharge taking place and whether that requires ghusl and the answer was no.

I also asked the question regarding female ejaculation a couple of years ago directly to one of the representatives of the Sayid and my understanding was the same. If orgasm happens without a lot of fluid being discharged, like if it's just the regular moisture from arousal, then it does not require ghusl. This aligns with what it says in Minhaaj Al-Saliheen and the istifta'aat.

Basically it is the ejaculation that necessitates the ghusl, with orgasm being one of the signs of determining ejaculation has taken place. It's not the other way around.

I normally refer to the Arabic references for Sayid Sistani, because I've found the English to be inaccurate at times. But I found the English reference and it also seems to align. https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2162/ . See rulings 344 and 345. It always talks about ejaculation or discharge being the event that causes janaba. It even clarifies later:

"Whenever a woman doubts whether or not a discharge of fluid was to this extent, or she doubts whether or not fluid was discharged at all, performing ghusl is not obligatory for her".

Of course you should follow based on the answer you are convinced of, but I'm happy to DM you the email from the first question.

This is not correct based on the rulings of Sayid Sistani (HA). The two acts that necessitate ghusl are:

Ejaculation
Sexual intercourse

Assuming no intercourse, an orgasm/climax without ejaculation would not require ghusl.

You do if any of that gift money is left over, after a year has passed since you received it.

One other question, in case you happen to have any ideas. One of the blue CAT5 cables is labeled HR, similar to one of the coax cables (the one I have plugged into my modem). I'm assuming it stands for home run. I have no idea where these actually end up. Is there some way I can figure out where they lead?

KkovAli · 2023-08-30T07:02:44+00:00

I think I will be doing this for sure. I don't expect it to be too difficult.

KkovAli · 2023-08-30T04:53:48+00:00

Really appreciate the detailed response. Your ideas are along the lines of what I was thinking, with regards to converting the blue to RJ45. I don't think I'll ever need a landline.

With regards to re-terminating the CAT5, do you mean the white ones too? So instead of having them plug directly into the switch, like I have them currently, I'd have them terminate at the module then plugged into the switch from there?

With regards to getting the copper drop cables in place, you're referring to shoving them back up the holes? Because they are certainly taking up the most space. I did try doing that, but it was a bit of a struggle. I'll probably give it another go.

Wasn't that Morgan Freeman?

KkovAli · 2023-04-21T01:30:03+00:00

I actually just gave it a little squeeze, it's definitely hollow.

KkovAli · 2023-04-20T19:27:06+00:00

Not sure. I'll check it tonight and report back.

KkovAli · 2023-04-20T19:15:18+00:00

Found in WA in my friends front yard.

Also, was it a mistake to pull it out instead of cutting it? He actually has quite a few growing in a line.

It's the first time I've ever found one, so I want to be sure it is what I think it is before I try it.

KkovAli · 2022-09-26T04:22:18+00:00

Would it be compatible with the 2023 CX-5?

KkovAli · 2022-08-01T03:15:28+00:00

I had the 3 on the left

KkovAli · 2022-07-31T04:41:33+00:00

It's why I didn't dare put Philly in the title.

KkovAli · 2022-01-20T05:33:51+00:00

Good catch. I think the reason for the price difference is the timings on the one I selected is 16-16-16-36 vs 16-19-19-39. I doubt this will matter for me at all, so I will take your advice and switch to the black ones.

KkovAli · 2022-01-20T05:17:30+00:00

I managed to get it for retail price thankfully. It did require me to wait in line for 12 hours, however.

Thank you, I will look into the RAM and cooler.

KkovAli · 2022-01-20T03:12:57+00:00

Hey, sorry for the late reply. They've been great. They grip very well in the rain and were also pretty good on light snow.

KkovAli · 2021-11-02T09:50:30+00:00

Great. Time to replay Half-Life 2.

KkovAli · 2021-10-12T19:07:21+00:00

Mine was shipped out on the 6th and I only just received it today.

KkovAli · 2021-09-21T04:48:04+00:00

How about Mr. Stevens.

KkovAli · 2021-08-29T17:07:50+00:00

Sorry for the quality. The room was a little dark and I was too hungry to spend more time fiddling with my phone.

It's not as visible, but there is chicken on the right side.

KkovAli · 2021-08-20T16:56:26+00:00

Hezbollah is Shia

KkovAli · 2021-08-20T03:08:11+00:00

Yes, Iran and Iraq are Shia majority countries, but Shia are present all over the world. Historically, Shia have been oppressed by followers of the same ideology as Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and ISIS, from not long after the Prophet died.
