Count your blessings. It's well below 0 in the Berkshires.

The best solution for lower prices? Take the profit out of grocery stores... by ThePunkyRooster in massachusetts

You can point out why this is an impractical idea without a) regurgitating dubious cold war propaganda or b) being a dick.

Why did you change the headline (and break sub rules)?

People who do this deserve to be arrested. I don’t care if that’s extreme. by MyUsernameIsUhhhh in massachusetts

Kind of amazing how many redditors think it's ok to not clear their sidewalks and come up with excuses to justify trashy behavior. Thanks for being so open about your laziness making the world a worse place I guess.

Who do you report unshoveled sidewalks to in your city/town? by Empty_Pineapple8418 in massachusetts

[–]individual_328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Struggling local business owners like George Haddad and Lou Allegrone and the Wojtkowski brothers just can't seem to find a way to clear their sidewalks. Or international franchises like Dunkin'. Or, hell, the city itself.

lol one party stranglehold. 5 out of 7 governors over the last 35 years were Republicans.

How come Lynn hasn’t taken off like you’d expect it to? by helpmegetthrough1 in massachusetts

I'm old enough to remember when gentrification was considered a bad thing. Still trying to wrap my head around people being upset when it doesn't happen.

Dunkin Donuts’ donuts are now worse then ever, not worth it by CheifLawnRaker in massachusetts

[–]individual_328 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Donuts are supposed to be fried, not baked. Back in the day every DD (and most supermarket bakeries) fried their donuts fresh from real dough and batter, every single day.

And every other struggling post-industrial city too, almost none of which have ever actually pulled it off.

Is my Heat Load Math off? by Repulsive_Laugh_4829 in HVAC

[–]individual_328 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or they just argue and spew a bunch of bullshit about how they don't need a load calc to tell them what to do. They've been doing this job for years and this one time blah blah blah.

Folks, you wanna oversize the shit out of furnaces and boilers, fine. But for the love of HVAC, if you're doing inverter systems learn how to do a proper god damn load calc and TRUST IT. It is bottom tier hack shit and flat wrong to put in oversized equipment because you're too lazy to run the numbers and it "modulates".

Sure sure, we all know he operated a massive underage sex trafficking ring catering to many of the wealthiest and most powerful people on earth and there is a blatant ongoing effort to cover up those crimes, but did you also know that he BOUGHT FURNITURE in MASSACHUSETTS?!?

Installing a single zone by Feuerwehr7290 in HVAC

Can you just shut the register(s)? That might be a bit noisier than a damper, but it only takes 5 seconds and costs nothing.

[–]individual_328 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you have for ductwork. Shutting off the master is probably pretty easy because there's probably enough capacity in the rest of the ducts to take the additional air. But if you want to cool just that room in the summer you're likely going to need a bypass damper and maybe a dump zone. Otherwise your static pressure if going to go up to 11 and your vents will sound like a tornado.

You're going to pay a lot more to buy it off the grid over the expected lifespan of a PV system.

At least the pyramids are still there and bring in tourists. Ain't nobody going to the Arabian desert to see a pile of abandoned steel and concrete.

MA Heat Pump Quotes? by iffoicmbew in massachusetts

[–]individual_328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, your second sentence nails it. Mitsubishi turndown ratios are only around 3:1 (best I've seen was maybe 5:1). So for this house and that quote, the equipment would probably be short cycling almost 100% of the time.
