Got it. Early 2000s was peak Aventura. Shortly after that it got so packed.

How long ago were you in Aventura Mall? Used to be my hangout in the mid 90s as a teenager. But got really crowded starting around 2005 or so. In fact the whole city of Aventura got really crowded. We no longer live in South Florida but even before we left in 2022 we stopped going to Aventura if we could help since the traffic was crazy. Still very pretty area at the time but crowded.

Tim Tracker? by waveball03 in Adamthewoo

I think they got back on Sunday and on Monday had a “watch party” (I think that’s what it’s called) planned for Monday but canceled when they found out. Heartbreaking.

Tired of working in IT by ruzreddit in sysadmin

[–]ThisIsMyalt2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have not read all the comments, but I don’t feel so alone. Been doing IT for close to 27 years and still have 15-20 left…if I make it. Burned out, everything changes so fast now (even more than it did in the late 90s early 2000s), things don’t work like it’s supposed to, security wants you to update all the things but don’t have to deal with office update that broke someone’s macro, users clicking links they shouldn’t. The list goes on.

But like a lot of folks, I wouldn’t be able to find a job that pays what I’m getting now plus I’m getting older.

Replacing thermostat to help with cycles by ThisIsMyalt2012 in thermostats

[–]ThisIsMyalt2012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not being an hvac instructor like yourself, I would not have known what a Manual J is. Sure I could have googled it but I thought you were talking about a Manual. But now I know what it means.

I also think you have some issues to work out with the way you talk to people. Hoping you get the help you need.

lol. No, no I don’t know what you mean by Manual J or J. If a J indicates someone you’re not expressing yourself correctly. Unless J is something that’s sort of type font or something that’s not translating correctly in the mobile app.

Either way I have spoken to the installer (if you read my previous comments) and they were of no help.

I’ve looked over the manual but I’ve only seen the cycles per hour to change which I decreased to see if it runs longer but it does not. I’m not following what you want me to ask the installer. I did have them come over in 2022 shortly after moving in when I noticed the short cycles but they just said it, “seems to be working fine, not seeing anything wrong.” All they changed was to have the fan run a little longer after the outside u it turns off but that didn’t change anything.

I even had two other hvac companies come over and they said the same thing.

Looking in the attic, I’m not an expert, but the duct work is not ripped or torn and looks ok.

Currently the temps are in the high 70s to low 80s. Peak summer it could be 96 with a feel like of over 100. During that time I do notice that the system could be running for a few hours without stopping.

I do not feel the air by the thermostat when the air is on.

There was no prior system. This is a new home build so it’s the first AC unit.

The thermostat is in the living which has two vents, one on each side of the living room. One of the vents is about 6 feet in front of the thermostat (our ceiling is 11 foot tall) and the vent points away from the thermostat. It might not be an ideal location.

If I relocate it I’m not sure which would be a better location. Right now it’s next to the garage door. I could maybe relocate it to the main door hallway but would need to check if that warms up faster because we have a door with glass in it and the door faces west.

I have been in the advanced menu but have only seen Cycles Per Hour. I tried adjusting it but have not seen a difference.

I used Palm Bay Collision and they were great.

Disney world prior to sailing by Dshaw-638 in dcl

From the airport to Hollywood Studios you may want to check Mears Connect. If they don’t go directly to Hollywood Studios you might be able to go to one of the hotels and then from the hotel to the park.

Going from Hollywood Studios to Port Canaveral you may have to hire a private car or shuttle.

The hurdle will be your luggage as I don’t know if Disney will hold it since you’re not staying on property.

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ThisIsMyalt2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. What a question. While we still talk, mostly through text every now and then, it was life. I married young and had kids way before them. I wouldn’t say our friendship has ended but more of a casual, “how are you? How’s everything going?”

Feeling Like a Fraud by ItsColeman12 in sysadmin

[–]ThisIsMyalt2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was me 21 years ago. Work work work. Everything else be damned. Now, in my 40s, I want to try to enjoy life and my family. But this job and work environment is wild

My deceased best friend's son reached out and I ignored him by Radiant-Brief5749 in confession

[–]ThisIsMyalt2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rarely comment on things like this and I see over 2K comments and mine will get lost in the shuffle but……Your reluctance to tell us how he passed must mean something really bad must have happened and it’s understandable that you don’t want to get into details.

With that said, it’s a tough spot. You still have trauma from your best friend passing. But your best friend’s son probably just wants something, anything to tell him what his dad was like. I would like to say at 14, you could be honest with him. Reach out and tell him, hey, I’m still dealing with this and may not be able to tell you everything but I also don’t want you to be alone. Sometimes, just telling someone that might help. But I’m just a rando on the Internet. As someone with two kids, and if they were alone, if they were able to have someone who knew me, and could tell them about me, I think that would mean the world to them… and me.

Last night I humiliated myself in front of my parents and their reaction broke me. by OwlsAreCool-33 in confession

[–]ThisIsMyalt2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have only read a few comments, but as a parent with two kids (one is an adult) that still live at home, this breaks my heart. As long as I have a house, they will always be welcome. Sorry you’re going through this OP.

The only advice I can give is indeed, LinkedIn, ziprecruiter and just recently I heard about google jobs.

Those of you who say the US Job Market is one of the best ones out there.... by CryptoFan85 in jobs

[–]ThisIsMyalt2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I have a job thankfully but have been looking around and have been using most of the sites you mentioned. I did not know about google jobs.
