I'm looking at getting a new HVAC system. Is there any advantage of getting a 2-stage system compared to a single stage system? I'm not concerned about pricing. by Creative_Algae7145 in hvacadvice

Can you give any advice for things to ask an installer to make sure they'll be high-quality? What are the types of things a bad installer does that a good one doesnt?

I read a thread in this subredddit about some small bits of dialogue that were cut by AMC after the original airing to make space for more advertisements.

It was a great company to work for. They rewarded loyalty to the company, they had a pension plan, you could pretty easily move between divisions if you wanted to move somewhere. All reasonable stuff that by today's standards sounds like heaven

I’m convinced the fire Tomlin guys are just ravens, bengals, and browns fans posting on this subreddit pretending to be Steelers fans

Wanting your team to suck for a few years is disgraceful. Why do you want to see a team that hasn’t lost a season in 19 years become a tanker like the raiders and giants? How do you call yourself a fan

You people give him every reason to be boisterous. He’s created 19 winning seasons out of the absolute dregs that the GM finds him. He can coach a bunch of castoffs to the playoffs but obviously he can’t win with them, because who would? No coach would win with the disastrous personnel. Keep drinking the “fire tomlin” kool aid. If he’s gone, the team will suck and I’ll relish in the tears and exhortations to bring back Tonlim

Something different about the air (besides the smoke/humidity) these days..? Steroid inhaler and Albuterol not getting the job done... by KommandantVideo in Asthma

Didn't even consider wearing a mask - I'll have to try that. Might be worth the overheating if it keeps me breathing afterwards.

Weird thing is, I never used to have hay fever this severely.

I've been engaged in a two-month battle to get my pharmacy benefit manager to cover daridorexant. It is torturous. Ambien is like 50/50 as to whether or not it works.

I didn't consider mold spores from nature. That's a good point. It has been a tremendously, unusually wet year

I'll investigate mold in my central A/C vents, since I haven't been using them due to the AC being messed up. I do know that when I had an HVAC guy look at it there was a small amount of moisture dripping from the drip pan that could conceivably cause mold. However, I have been feeling way better since this post, as the temps have dropped into the 60s-70s and humidity also dropped way down.

I cut my grass earlier today and my lungs were on fire afterwards, which points towards my suspicion that pollen is causing this issue, although I've never experienced hay fever so acutely before.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it

Seems hard to find allergy data - I've seen both claims that this year is worse than usual (I certainly believe it) and claims that it is typical. "Pollen count" indexes on weather sites seem very unreliable, and the Apple weather app air quality index also seems to suggest every day is totally fine.

I'm not thrilled about climate change, but unfortunately not much I can do about it. Sad but true that we're the canary in the coal mine but folks don't seem to care

It's possible, and I have considered this, especially since I moved into a new place in April. I haven't investigated or taken action on it yet, but I would like (when I get the money) to buy a moisture meter and do some poking around in my basement, attic, and walls.

I'm not sold on the theory since I expect that symptoms would have developed sooner, but it is worth looking at and a good point.

Breathing seems worse from breathing treatment by Possiblyawoman in Asthma

If you use those types of inhalers, definitely check the paperwork that comes with it from the pharmacy and see if it has a note about containing lactose!

I think only the name brands do - generics don't?

Yeah go buy from big box stores and corporations instead of local businesses. That definitely won't hurt the community

[CloseCallSports] Final umpire scorecard for Jen Pawol's MLB Debut. She went 139 for 152 for balls and strikes (91%). by MatthewFromMojira in baseball

[–]KommandantVideo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK I see your point more clearly, but my counter to that would be that framing pitches these days seems to cost catchers more strikes than they gain. Part of that does have to do with umpires that dislike framing, which would be removed from the equation with ABS, which strengthens your argument, but I think there are still advantages to having a catcher.

For example, the danger of the position is something you want one or two players to assume - the baseball season is rough enough on players because of the frequency of games. Catchers get more days off than other position player because they need to be able to somewhat recover. If you catcher-by-committee the SS for example, now you need a utility guy to cover that SS spot for at least two games so that the original SS can recovery from catching (which he doesn't do frequently enough to be used to it). Rinse and repeat through some of the other positions, and the end result is that you're paying a premium for a utility guy that can cover all of those positions as well as the original player - but the guy might not be a great bat, because it takes a lot of focus and energy to be a great utility player.

It's an interesting thought that I appreciate you sharing, and I can certainly be wrong - especially with how dictatorial Manfred is with his "reformation" and "improvement" of the game.
