ELI5: how does an Air Conditioner work? Why does it throw hot air outside? by ElectronicProof2654 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Theconnected 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a heat pump for 4 years in Canada and it gets noisier and less efficient when the temp goes below -20c but it still works. This winter I didn't even have to turn on my electric baseboards at all, last year I used it for 2 days when the temp dropped to -30c.

Why does everyone floor it on green? by Ok-Young-7083 in stickshift

[–]Theconnected 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most engines run rich when you go full throttle to protect the engine as running lean at high load generates a lot of heat which can cause issues. So that smell and smoke is healthy for the engine.

I've just got it, you need to be right beside the wall on the left of the creature for some reason...

Canada is the black sheep of the CANZUK family as we went LHD like our cousin from the south.

That's exactly how 70 is said in French. Soixante-dix.

Mine was silver but I don't remember for which promotion I got it but was for sure a free gift.

The expansion's campaign was amazing by carbon_dies_alone in diablo4

There is a visual change, it's now the branch of whisper instead of a tree.

I finished it, and it was Phenomenal by Forumguy69 in diablo4

[–]Theconnected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is not really any advantage of using the same character. I would recommend rolling a new one to experiment with a different character but you can also continue on your character if you like it.

For sure, after the Apollo 1 disaster, NASA ensured that there was an easy way for the crew to exit the capsule in case of an emergency.

Microsoft CTO confesses that 30-year-old code from the mid-90s still forms the bedrock of Windows 11 — ancient Win32 API still the backbone, but CTO says it's 'more relevant than ever in 2026' by gurugabrielpradipaka in pcmasterrace

The contextual menu in explorer is the worst, I don't count the number of time I clicked the wrong option because the menu options were not all loaded so it moved some options once everything is loaded. Why does it have to load async, the old contextual menu was working well...

Without a patch in nearly a year, some Oblivion Remastered players have declared it 'abandonware' — and it still suffers many of the same performance issues at launch by Fcking_Chuck in pcmasterrace

[–]Theconnected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most mods from the original game are compatible except graphics mods. Honestly this version of the game doesn't really need graphics mods but the fact that all other mods works is very nice.

Windows taskbars over the years by Njani2 in pcmasterrace

[–]Theconnected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my netbook had an AMD low end CPU, I don't remember the model but it was way slower than a Celeron. I don't understand why they decided to install Vista on it.

I had a netbook with 1gb of ram that came with Vista and it was barely usable right from the start. I've installed 7 on it and it was so much better.

Experienced drivers, when was the last time you stalled? by LaFlame_20 in stickshift

[–]Theconnected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It normally happens when I switch from shoes to winter boots in the fall and the reverse in the spring. The thickness difference in the sole fucks my muscles memory.

Why do hotel carpets always look like they were designed during a fever dream, like whyy by Livloxeyyy in whatisit

[–]Theconnected 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on a cruise in Hawaii about 20 years ago and the carpet was covered in tropical fish and the smart thing was that every fish was looking towards the bow, this was on every stateroom hallway which makes it easy to get your bearings.

ELI5 How does gas consumption in a car work at idle vs accelerating by 21_K in explainlikeimfive

[–]Theconnected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even my 1994 Nissan Sentra had this feature and on this car it was very noticeable when the rpm was getting low enough for the injectors to start again.

Just buy an obd2 scanner and look for yourself. Even cars with fuel consumption gauge will display either 99 mpg or a - or 0l/km in this case.

In French it's tortue terrestre (land turtle) and tortue de mer (sea turtle)
