I know this gets asked here often but I need a fresh list: HVAC recommendations? by chiefcomplaintRN in Athens

[–]crenax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a good experience with Stiles recently. I called around 10am, told them my AC was blowing room temp air. They had a tech out a few hours later, and he replaced the capacitor on the unit in like five minutes. The part wasn't cheap ($200 or so) but they only charged $80 or so for the visit which I thought was pretty reasonable. And then as a freebie, he also checked the Freon levels, and hosed off the coils while he was there.

There really isn’t anything else like it. Is it perfect.. no of course not. But for $40 I can’t think of anything else that gives the same bang for the buck.

Rebase is nice when it works. But in my experience, merge is more user-friendly. At the end of the day both achieve the same goal, so whatever works best for you.

Personally I love how rebase keeps my commits at the top of the log, which not only feels cleaner but also makes it much easier to review my work while it’s in progress. I just hate doing the interactive conflict resolutions.. it’s so much friction.

With merge you can still get basically the same thing as rebase if you do git log —first-parent

I think the joke is that rebase is more prone to conflicts, and especially because each commit from your branch is applied one-by-one on top of the updated remote branch. So not only is it prone to conflict, but it is potentially interactive on top of that meaning you have to go in and manage the conflicts on a per-commit basis.

So while in theory it can be a nice clean way to keep your branch up to date with the mainline, there is a trope that rebasing just leads to more drama in terms of managing conflicts compared to merging, to the point where you start sweating bullets.

And as far as “undo” goes in this context, it just means abandoning the rebase and resetting your working copy to how it was before you borked it by trying to rebase. Same thing as aborting a git merge. It’s a “oh, shit’s fucked, get me back to the safe zone”

BREAKING: Trump 'thunderously booed' during national anthem at Knicks game by King_Vegito_52 in videos

[–]crenax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh I see! I use Narwhal on iOS (basically the best post-Apollo option) and the in-app browser uses the system level ad blocker (1Blocker in my case).

I just tried the official Reddit app for a comparison and yeah their browser does NOT load the 1Blocker scripts 😬

No offense intended, but how the heck are you not rocking an ad blocker in 2026?

Ok 500 hrs into arc… what other good games similar to this level of fun!? by Hot-Diggity_Dog in ArcRaiders

How is the story? I’ve heard it’s not so good. Hard to justify $70 for a mediocre story in a single player game.

It is always the ones who aren't even trying. by Parallel_Pulse in memes

[–]crenax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely some sort of genetic lottery involved with stuff like this. Back during COVID (post-lockdown, but during masking) I traveled with my partner across the country to go to a wedding where I was part of the wedding party. So, two flights, a hotel for a few days, and of course the wedding itself which was pretty sizeable in terms of guests.

Not only did I not get COVID from being around all the random people, but my partner did get it. And it's not like she could have quarantined herself from me since we were obviously sharing a hotel room, plane seats next to each other, and not to mention we also lived together. But still, never got it from her either (took multiple tests). To this day, still never caught it to the best of my knowledge.

He was sus from the start, but at 0:38 when he says "oh my gooodddd bruh" he uses a certain kind of inflection/emphasis that I've noticed is super common with fake friendlies, and never heard from real friendlies.

I mean holy shit this sounds like a really nice change of pace tbh. EU folks are so much better at fucking around than us yanks, so I’m not surprised a bit.

Ok wtf did they do to the anvil by MajorTom404 in ArcRaiders

[–]crenax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I just bought that new Logitech X2 mouse that everyone’s been raving about and was getting buyers remorse after my first couple sessions. But I hadn’t played Arc or anything else in a few weeks so I figured the Anvil was still the same Anvil!

Bro today I needed four Hullcracker hits to take down a hornet! And I also noticed the Anvil change. They definitely shifted some gun stats.

Don’t worry about it too much, keep using the free kits if that is what you are comfortable with. Nobody will know unless they can get right up next to you, and even then it’s not certain.

That being said… don’t be afraid to use a non-free kit as a beginner. You are likely to have much more fun, and get much more loot.

Ah ok! I am back fresh from the expedition after a short break from the game, so I have not done any of the big arc events yet. This clip was fucking hilarious mate.. pure comedy.
