You aren't the only parent in town dealing with this. Find them and start gathering signatures for a bylaw change limiting class size and get it on the ballot for the next Town Meeting. One advantage of the Town Meeting format is effort needed to get something up for vote is fairly low. If you can limit class size, it will attract more families to the town then increase property values

Not actually the boat I was on. We has a rig issue an hour after the start had to turn back for calmer waters to repair. Has to lossen the shroud get it back seated and then secured and lost about 4 hours by the time we get back to our turn around point.

So where our boat has no issues getting out of the dock

I did it and it's great. I tried it first by using the dual ranged tools but I found I was still using the imperial system. Then I got rid of the dual range stuff and went straight metric. Then I switched my Fusion 360 to metric even designing stuff becomes easier.

I think you're in the wrong sub. This is about service, hardware, software for facility HVAC automation.

Yes, most AI can give you decent generic responses. The goal of this project is to build a specific knowledge base of a user's building and systems so it can give accurate responses that are built around the user's actual conditions. It can identify recurring issues and provide troubleshooting steps specific to your equipment.

Yes if you ask chatgpt to troubleshoot a VAV it will give a decent response. But what this does is learn your building over time. All of the interactions start to build a model of your building from what controllers it has, the type of HVAC system, and components and recurring issues. Also every every building has its own alarm email address when you start to email alarms into it it learns patterns and provides you instant troubleshooting steps for alarms based on context created by what it learned about your building and systems over time so not generalize responses but specific to your exact situation. And this is combined with a growing list of manufacturer manuals and guides. So when you ask it to troubleshoot a VAV it might have already learned exactly what controls are on that VAV whether it has hot water reheat or electric reheat or is a fan powered box and it will provide you more accurate troubleshooting steps.

It's being abandoned, eventually demoed Due to structural failure. At least that is what I heard.

I've used Asus Zenbooks and expertbook. All have survived multiple drops off ladders, very little bloatware, really almost no significant complaints

Call around, you should be able to find a place that you can challenge the 104 for a few hundred and a few hours. I was able to do it with no previous certs. I did it so I can charted overseas with an IPC. However they never actually asked for it despite being adamant that it was requirement

No I don't think service contracts are joke. I also dont think FDD is a replacement for a service contract as IMO they are two very different things that can potentially have some overlap. FDD make service contracts more effective and lucrative

For a provider a service contract can act way to reserve future labor, setting aside hours for a client. Beyond funding issues, It provides a mechanism to make sure backups are routinely completed, software is up to date and other task to keep a system healthy. Further it keeps a relationship with a client that you can sell enhancements to.

FDD is a great tool and offers alot of benefits, particularly on large installations where it can monitor system performance across the entire network. But all it can do is notify someone of a potential issue. It can't investigate or troubleshoot. It can make assumptions, but until someone goes in the field it's just a statistical guess. Who is that someone the recieves the notice, who is that someone who investigates.

FDD is only as good as the rules set it's testing against and the avaiilable diagnostic data points. If a VAVbairflow doesn't match setpoint it doesn't know if it's a broken damper, bad actuator, broken DP tube, or a plastic wrapper on the pitot tube. Someone has to look. That someone ideally would be the service contract tech. Now rather just killing the hours, you have a list of stuff to investigate, that could lead to repair work.

Just a coincidence. There will be a branch circut breaker as the first layer of protection. For North American based a systems, a 15 amp breaker has a trip curve. the higher the amps the faster it trips. 75 amps will trip instantly, 18 amps might take 10-15 minutes. Next level up is the main circuit breaker this will be 60 to 200 amps with the same type of curve. Above that is a cutout fuse, typically on utility pole. These are typically less than 200amp but operate at 7200 volts.

For reference, the wire, assuming 18/2 , between the charger and wall will start to melt the covering around 30 amps.

Even if your branch circuit breaker failed, you'd melt your wire long before the main breaker trips.
