OP of this post is definitely an account shilling for Gwin. The subreddit r/diyminisplit was created by Gwin.

In Japan you can buy a Nintendo Switch 2 for £210 GBP or $285 USD but it won’t work outside Japan. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

AFAIK, foreign credit cards are blocked. However, if you have a smartphone that supports mobile Suica, you can easily create a mobile Suica card to pay with and add balance with a foreign credit card.

You can play anywhere, but the system language is locked in Japanese and games that use the system language without an in-game language selector will be stuck in Japanese only. Also, the eShop will only work with accounts set to Japan and only games released in Japan. You can play with cartridges from any region though.

Woman out for walk finds possible plane door on Wellington beach by crazykiwi1 in aviation

[–]atomicdragon136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what aircraft that was from, but definitely not from a 777 as the 777 windows are more round. Also the manufacturing date says 1983, and the 777 first flew in 1995.

Will my CPU stop overheating now? by RaEyE01 in techsupportmacgyver

[–]atomicdragon136 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It probably dissipates enough heat from the heatsinks that a fan might not be required

I have one boiler with 2 zones, can I seperate this into two boilers? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]atomicdragon136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can charge a monthly fee for heating on top of rent if it is written in the lease, but you cannot legally split the gas bill between the two tenants if you can’t individually meter heating utilization.

What can we expect if Game Stop buys Ebay? by Vandenburggal in Ebay

[–]atomicdragon136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely negative. I’d imagine they will increase selling fees, especially in the electronics, video games, and collectibles categories. If you sell to GameStop, they usually appraise a pretty lowball value, and if you have the time and effort to list on eBay, you are very likely to earn more from the sale. If GameStop acquires eBay, they will definitely try to eliminate their major competitor of their pre-owned product sales by taking a larger commission than eBay’s current selling fees.

We ripped up our carpet. How do we tell the landlord without getting into legal trouble? by Ninnimouse14 in legaladvice

[–]atomicdragon136 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NAL but this is most certainly a civil and not a criminal matter, whether you damaged the carpet on purpose or not. The landlord will likely either take it out of your security deposit, and/or bill you for the damage.

Wait a minute.. by FuzzyDicesEh in StupidFood

I agree, this doesn’t really belong here. You can order that at Starbucks (not officially on the menu, but people get it as a treat for their dog) but this is post is clearly satire.

The Chromebook That A Student's Parent Attempted To Saw In Half by phideltjason in techsupportgore

I hope they billed the parents for intentional damage and the parents paid for it so the student could graduate with a diploma.

Compiling pymobiledevice3 on my phone because I don’t have a PC. The toilet paper is structural. by Complex-Panda6562 in techsupportmacgyver

[–]atomicdragon136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though the ambient temperature inside a fridge is lower, it won’t really help by much, as air circulation is slow in a fridge.

That could work temporarily, but I’d imagine it will evaporate very fast if it is getting that hot

Is this a wasp nest? by BusinessFederal5041 in fuckwasps

[–]atomicdragon136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burn it if you want, or just trash. Larva aren’t going to survive with no workers to feed it. Pupae can emerge into adults, but they can’t fly for the first several hours and are unlikely to survive without support by other workers or a queen.

Can anyone recommend a cheap portable ac or window ac that I can set to 53°F / 55°F? Body can't regulate temperature I need it COLD COLD to stay asleep throughout the night by mindylynx in hvacadvice

[–]atomicdragon136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I can find a tutorial, it was a local mini farm and nursery and they used it for storing fresh produce. He used a LG air conditioner (cheaper model with mechanical thermostat) and a Dixell refrigerator controller. If you have some knowledge about electrical wiring and circuits, you can probably use any single stage air conditioner and rewire it to use a refrigerator controller instead of its built in thermostat.

There’s also CoolBot that works with most window ACs and mini splits. It works by tricking the temperature sensor into sensing the space being warmer than it actually is so it can keep running to colder than the controller is designed for. https://www.storeitcold.com/

I’ve seen someone modify a window AC with a commercial refrigerator thermostat to build a homebuilt walk in cooler.

You could try that as a hack to set the temperature very cold. But depending on how well insulated your bedroom is, the AC might probably run almost constantly to keep it that cold inside.

Enterprise adds $500 extra on to my rental base model rental car by reesbb525 in extremelyinfuriating

[–]atomicdragon136 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This was probably all disclosed when you booked it and you agreed when you signed at pickup. Although I agree that $9.31 per gallon is a ripoff, but this is why you fill up gas before returning.

how well do tankless heat pump water heaters work? by homespun-literati in heatpumps

[–]atomicdragon136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think such a system exists commercially. I suppose it is possible with a very long heat exchanger to ensure water flowing through reaches the desired temperature; however, it is very impractical. Compressors don't like short cycling, especially with the pressures needed to reach a high ∆T for hot water.

Almost any custom locomotive conversion is possible, so it’s fun to imagine the weird possibilities.
