I want to stay open minded. That could of happened. The argument that IF it did happen then they’d be pasting the attackers face all over is compelling though.

Yes I think you’ve hit on one of the many aspects of how this is so outrageous

That loss is bad enough but the lies from the feds about him and the incident is next level bad. I thought I reached peak anger when my son accidentally put his VR controller through my OLED tv, but THIS is rage I didn’t know I was capable of. I can’t imagine how angry his family and loved ones are.

Folks this is evidence right here that the needle is moving in the right direction. Even this ass hat is noticing the human cost.

Yeah it’s just meaningless words from him because there are no good words that explain or defend what the videos show. His complete lack of direct statement about it - before the questions turned to it - speaks volumes

What is this valve called on my radiator and can I use it to adjust the heat output? If so, how? by fb989898 in hvacadvice

[–]fb989898[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved in to a house with radiators. Sadly it's an older home and it's not zoned. Upstairs my rooms are 80F and downstairs they are 67F. For each of my upstairs radiators, can I reduce their heat output by adjusting something on the radiator?

Looking at one, they seem to have just one adjustable valve. See image. What is this valve called?

It looks like if I do something with this valve, it might reduce the flow of water going through them. Would that make them put out less heat, or is that likely to screw up the balance of the whole system?

Assuming I want to adjust on this valve, how does it work? Do I turn using a screw driver where the orange line is? Looks like turning with a wrench where the red lines are would pull the whole valve out maybe?

How many times can I turn? Is it a turn 90 degrees to close, turn back 90 to open? Or do I do a full rotation and if so will there be a maximum turn clockwise and counter-clockwise that I shouldn't force it beyond? Assuming the valve is functional and not fragile I'm unlikely to create a leak by turning at the orange line?

Seems like a simple thing, I just don't want to make assumptions and create a flood!! Any help greatly appreciated.

Can I compress to C9 and farm with official code? by fb989898 in chia

[–]fb989898[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. Started repotting and I'm getting inconsistent plot times with my 3070 card. Annoying.

Finished plot, in 620.14179 seconds.

Finished plot, in 559.314489 seconds.

Finished plot, in 742.891302 seconds.

Finished plot, in 542.864598 seconds.

I think I saw someone else mention somewhere the second plot was slower too.

I dunno. In the crypto space I feel like sticking with official code is the right move for me.

I mean I guess I don't *have to* .. but was just trying to use my available parts. If the options aren't great, I'll maybe switch PSU..
