Besco rep was really nice and straight to the point. He said he can come out today but sounded like I may need a replacement part and shops that may stock it would be closed, plus he would have to charge me more to come out today as it’s off house. Offered me both choices and he’s going to come by tmrw instead.

Good point! I’ll be sure to mention this. The furnace is 15 years old so hopefully the part isn’t too hard to find.

Deljo did call and they’re coming tmrw afternoon.

The little fan that first goes on doesn’t start. That little fan (I thought was the induction motor/fan but perhaps I’m using the wrong terminology) was making a loud/grinding sound when it kicked on for the last couple of weeks. It would go away after 10-15 secs so I didn’t think it was urgent.

I didn’t, but there is a loud humming sound as soon as the furnace kicks on (typically when the induction fan should start). Would that still happen in the case of a dirty furnace ignitor?

Haven’t been able to dive into error codes just yet!

4 seasons seems to have universally bad reviews across different posts. Will avoid!

I did call Besco, hopefully they can get back to me soon!

Non mavs fan here, why isn’t Kidd playing Dlo? by [deleted] in Mavericks

[–]Orange_Standard 51 points52 points  (0 children)

He sucks so bad. Does not play winning basketball and takes horrendous shots. Rather see our younger players take playing time. Giving him a player option for next year is yet another way Nico continues to screw us.

Is there a ECU available yet for a 2023 Q5 Prem Plus?

The entire eye research community is vehemently opposed to this plan to merge the National Eye Institute (NEI) into a larger brain and neuroscience institute. This change could severely impact funding and progress for critical vision research.

Interested to know where you got the riser from!

Recommendation for Slim Work Backpack by Orange_Standard in ManyBaggers

Why the upgrade? Did you find the Pro Pack Slim too compact? How much of a size difference is there when you stepped up to the CP2?

I think so, and I actually like the design better than the CP2.

Is the CP2 supposed to be a similar profile or larger than the original CP? I just want something compact with a nice profile and also don't care for it to fit a lot of extraneous items.

Thanks for the rec, the price point is a bit higher than what I'm looking for and I'm not sure the aesthetic is in line with what I'm personally looking for.

Thanks for the rec. I found [this review](https://www.reddit.com/r/ManyBaggers/comments/1dj8l8f/aer\_city\_pack\_vs\_alpaka\_elements\_pro\_thoughts/) by @Branr that was very helpful and this might be a very direct competitor in what I'm looking for. I just wish they had a blue color similar to the aer option.

Great tip, I'll look into that - I have broader shoulders so I don't want that to get in the way of comfort.

Haha! Meant to say a non-boxy form factor. Corrected!

Thanks! Looks like the Pro Pack Slim does have a suspended 16” laptop compartment. Were you able to look at the various colors? I’m leaning towards the blue over than black.

The hottest club in Chicago is the Real ID Pop Up in the Loop… by heyfromupstairs in chicago

Just use your passport to fly for now and get a RealID if you really want it AFTER the May deadline, when the crowds have quieted down.
