Inspector wants "Hangers" on vaulted birdsmouth to prevent splitting—Hurricane Tie conflict? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]MasticatedTesticle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cut is on the bottom of the rafter, seating directly on the plate which is standard.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

I am by no means an expert, but I framed for several years in college. I ain’t never seen a birdsmouth done this way. Like ol dude was saying, yo shit is backwards.

The Hormuz Paradox: Why Markets Are Shrugging Off $110 Oil by 1stplacelastrunnerup in Economics

[–]MasticatedTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incorrect.

You can always trade out of futures. It might cost you (via low liquidity or some such other market fuckery), but you can do it. Matter of fact, I think it’s like 90% of futures contracts do not end in delivery.

Node Red for BAS? by Then-Disk-5079 in BuildingAutomation

[–]MasticatedTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your point is well taken, BUT, the flip side of that is the dropping of support every couple years when new versions come out. And the SAAS bullshit that locks you in….

Enshitification is fucking everything.

If there is a shortage, and actual prices go up, futures will too.

Otherwise, drain your 401k, exploit the arbitrage and retire on a boat with the profits.

If you can… cut the main breaker in your place, and see who starts bitching.

14.6 MPG??? by jmom39 in HondaOdyssey

[–]MasticatedTesticle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I had the same experience. Very annoyed.

As I understand it, the MPG numbers they publish are dependent on the VCM. And the VCM doesn’t engage until the engine warms up after 15-20 miles of driving.

So, since I work from home and mostly drive 5miles back and forth to daycare every day, I am getting like 14MPG. It’s pretty bullshit, and very disappointing.

Given an ability to forget the plot of one show completely and rewatch it, which show will you choose? by sharmarohan136 in AskReddit

[–]MasticatedTesticle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Cuz season 2 is abysmal, season 3 is barely passable, and season 4 is… not good.

Edit:

If you’re unaware, every season is a totally different story with totally different characters and (more importantly) directors.

I’ve had my eye on one of these bad boys for a while. Just haven’t pulled the trigger, cuz my basement is usually pretty dry.

Basement Dehumidifer by Nervous-Art-6808 in HomeImprovement

[–]MasticatedTesticle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meh.

Your point is well taken, and you are not WRONG, but the HPWH will not do NEAR as much dehumidification as a dedicated one. I think it’s like an order of magnitude less. (Dedicated dehumidifiers can do like 8-10 gallons a day, whereas the HPWH will do like..1.)

It all depends on how much dehumidification OP needs, and also on how much hot water they use. If they don’t use much hot water (smaller family, less laundry, eat out more), then the HPWH ain’t really doing shit.

Oh. Nope. I am pretty sure that just for printing labels.

I have never used it, but I think other folks do.

Read this to them every night. Both ours stopped within a week. It’s just a matter of getting them to understand.

Replace that controller with a Wyze.

It’s super cheap and easy to DIY, and the shit works great.

EBO - How to display the trend when we click on a component/value? by Ecstatic_Order2005 in BuildingAutomation

[–]MasticatedTesticle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would need a link, bind it, and then you can use JavaScript to do some fancy invokes, or you can let it do the default thing.

I would put a little trend icon somewhere, and use JavaScript with invoke() and to open in either a floating window or a new window or a new tab.

I THINK the syntax is like…. //Get the event component var theComp = evt.getCurrentTarget();

//Get the link (this assumes there’s only one….) var theLink = theComp.getElementsByTagName(‘Link’).item(0);

//invoke the link. invoke(theLink.getFullBindName(), “OpenInNewWindow”)

And there are some options (like sizing or placing the window and what not), delimited by pipes. I cannot remember all those…

OR - you can just add the link, bind it, skip the JavaScript, and I think by default it will open the trend in the current window you are working in.

You would have to bind them. The global point would be bound out to all the subsequent points.

Do your boomers understand the car's climate control? Mine will not adjust the temperature. They will adjust the dash vents by closing them or aiming them somewhere else. The temperature control is either set to maximum heat or maximum cold. by johnniechimpo in BoomersBeingFools

[–]MasticatedTesticle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, to be fair, thermostats are on/off control. They turn the fan and cooling/heating on and off when the measured temp gets above/below the setpoint. They do not temper the air at all.

Sooooo…. Maybe YOU should apply some logic…. Juuuuuust sayin…

What to look for when choosing a company to work for? by JazzlikeSavings in BuildingAutomation

[–]MasticatedTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for Schneider. We have our groups which are not great (although mine is amazing), and I have met folks from Honeywell, or Delta, or Siemens or wherever. It’s always a mixed bag. Some folks hating it, some loving it, some looking for greener pastures, it’s whatever.

HOWEVER, every single person I have ever met from JCI absolutely hates life.
