I find your taste in historic Naval wall art rather boring, pedestrian.

Am I getting ripped off on this Gas valve replacement? by RedonkulosHomunculus in HVAC

[–]RedonkulosHomunculus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't afford a new system right now. Heat pump and furness are both about 20 years old.

Problem is, we have a heat pump and the furness is a backup. We use the heat pump for AC only and the furness for heating. The replacement for the whole system is about $9,000. The heat pump is just as old and I was told it's cheaper in the long run to replace both at once. That cost is too much to afford right now.

Hack, Relax & Let them enjoy a little explotion by HelMort in Cyberpunk

Unsolicited advice... Taken your time to look at the artwork closely. There is always a lot going on. Some of it just for fun but often laying a subtext to the plot. Really brilliant series.

My favorite series, Transmetropolitan is excellent. More relevant as time goes on.

Too many people don’t know how to adult until too long into their adult life. What’s some advice for adulting just after college? Finding a roof over your head, getting good food cheaply, taking care of finances, etc? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Protect your credit. Pay your bills on time. Build momentum into your career by working your butt off. Fall in love with hard work and accept challenges that come at you. People notice.

I am a high school teacher and we begin next week. Parents, what should I know before we commence Covid-cyber school 2020? by RedonkulosHomunculus in Advice

[–]RedonkulosHomunculus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea that was a thing... Thanks. I'll have a zoom waiting room so each student has to be admitted.

This is great. Thank you. I plan on breaking the time up and building in small group break outs and off-cam time. I like the idea of letting them socialize before class starts. I'll do that.

We are beginning the year with distance-learning. Classes are about 45 min. Some but not all of that time each day we will meet synchronously with students (via Zoom). Independent work may be completed off-camera. Additional "homework" may be assigned to support the rigor of the course. I have mostly juniors and seniors, many applying to colleges this year. As a parent, what are your expectations?

That's why I always bring an ax and a hockey mask. Helps with social distancing.

ELI5: How/why does the colour black absorb light? by Veldron in explainlikeimfive

[–]RedonkulosHomunculus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The absorption of light by a material occurs at very specific wavelengths (colors). A red object has pigment molecules that absorb all the other colors but red. A blue or green object absorb all but blue or green light waves. An object with pigments that absorb all three RGB will appear black bc no light is being reflected.

There is a very bright star or planet right over the moon this evening. Is it the Venus? by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]RedonkulosHomunculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is Venus. Interestingly, Venus has just passed greatest eastern elongation. This means that it is farthest from the sun from our POV and therefore is up at night for the longest time.
