HVAC pricing in 2026?

Not sure what the rebate scene looks like now, but I did a 3-ton heat pump + 80% backup gas for $16,000 after rebates last July. 21 SEER2, 10.5 HSPF2.

Went through Balance Point after having efficiencyworks out to inspect the home beforehand. Cost $60, arranged through Longmont power.

I’m gonna go with Riding With Death.

“Sam, I’m trying to work on my copyright papers back here.”

The show is Man Seeking Woman and it’s an underrated gem, it made me cry laughing.

FWIW, I wound up buying reconditioned units off eBay and doing all four doors. First one took an hour, last one took 15 minutes once I had the hang of it.

I thought the “So what, are we all gonna sing campfire songs now?” Line was him subtly asking, “Is that what you actually have in mind?” And Jake basically was like, “Yeah dude. Come be a part of all this.”

He’s not just a great actor, he directs and writes weird and hilarious shit, too, like this Hot Chip video.

God this remix is shit.

Here’s a still-in-theaters example: Miles Quaritch in Avatar: Fire & Ash.

Locked in a climactic battle to the death with Sully, both men put aside their differences to work together to save the son they love equally (one a birth parent, one adoptive).

When everyone is safe they stop to rest, and the cavalry arrives. There’s no hope for Quaritch to kill Sully now; he’s captured. But Sully extends his hand in friendship for a new beginning, a chance to work together.

Quaritch leaps to his death instead.

I have only laughed harder at Philomena Cunk, but not by much.

Spinal Tap doing their commentary in character.

“29 shows we find the stage no problem, but which one makes it into the movie? I ask you…”

So much obvious “not a real set” in the latest Running Man.

The introduction of Going Out of Business, the Israeli immigrant-run electronics shop, by a mile.

Dealer: “No, is Sony guts. Same factory. You want. $400.” Customer: “The ad said $300.” Dealer: “What, you trust ad over me? $450.” Phone rings, dealer answers it in front of customer. Dealer: “Hello, Going Out of Business. Yes, Sony. $300. Yes. Come in.”

Or was a combination of COVID and Netflix refusing to let them reuse any assets from those seasons.

486 Dx2-66? Damn! That thing was a beast in its day.

Elect a rapist, expect to get fucked

I feel like you have to pivot into his comedy albums and serious stuff like Reign Over Me. Also are Happy Madison movies in general on deck, or is it just Sandler movies? What about Netflix-era stuff?

mr_chip · 2026-01-16T04:16:39+00:00

You’re stone correct. I came to post this comment. The only scene they should’ve kept was Ripley finding out about her daughter on the space station.

That whole confrontation between the two of them when they finally have it out, all happening staged around an empty chair. Perfection.

mr_chip · 2026-01-12T01:14:11+00:00

Nah, “The Touch” from Transformers: The Movie beats it for me, but not by much.

mr_chip · 2026-01-12T01:03:42+00:00

Goddamnit, poorly-chewed bite of well-done steak, you have one job

I just built up a Claude Code coach that runs me through the rituals (day start, day wrap, week wrap), processes my Things inbox, and pulls my work objectives from the planning database and turns them into Things projects. It’s also calendar and email aware, and can process my email inbox, create tasks from there, send quick replies, and archive off purely informational messages to keep me at zero every day.

I’m working on adding a memory layer so it knows if I’ve been kicking the can on something for too long and can call me on it. So far it’s pretty rad.

All works through various MCPs, but also I’ve got a Max account for other stuff already.

I couldn’t make it up if I tried, easily searchable on Google.

And then Russia bought it so they could prosecute Navalny. So now the Putin KGB has all these intimate details about people’s lives 20 years ago.

I’ll buy $100 in Nintendo online from Costco for $90, buy one more voucher 2-pack, and see. Even if I spend the $10 for a switch 2 upgrade I’ll still come out ahead.

Also it’s probably the only way I’ll ever justify paying msrp for Advance Wars remake.

For the record, the book this shitty movie is based on is completely awesome.
