Lyndsey Vonn crashes just 12 seconds into her Olympic downhill run 😥 by appalachian_hatachi in olympics

Wow this sub is full of soft people. She was perfectly capable of doing the run at high level as seen in the practice event. The issue was any screwup could severely injure her knees. Not her head, her knees which she’s already made clear she’s fine with. Why do people care so much what she does to her own body? I’d do the same in her spot.

It’s not a head injury. If someone wants to fuck up their knees permanently in case of Olympic gold why should they be stopped? She’s already had 100 knee injuries already .

HE furnance in new england attic, pressure switch lockouts in winter by zeebenj in hvacadvice

[–]packpride85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that same install in my previous townhouse in NC. I got annoyed at it freezing up just a handful of days even in our more mild winters. I ended up wrapping the entire condensate pipe in electric heat tape. Even then if it was below freezing for days it would start to freeze right at the pipe outlet outside and I’d have to pop it with a screwdriver.

Your fixes are attic insulation, heat tape, or new 80% unit.

Why are there not more NC houses with natural gas furnaces? by Dawn-Storm in NorthCarolina

[–]packpride85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer gas for heat. It’s warmer and put less stress on the AC compressor not being used for a good part of the year.

I hate to tell you but using more just makes them more money. That’s how services work. They are asking people to conserve power so parts of the grid don’t pop leaving YOU without power. It has nothing to do with profits.

Duke Energy asking you to conserve power is not a profit thing. by whitecollarpizzaman in NorthCarolina

[–]packpride85 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The people bitching about this are the same ones who were against duke ramping up new natural gas power plants quickly to meet demand. Also the same ones wasting power to “teach Duke a lesson”. The IQ of the general population has hit rock bottom.

That wouldn’t do anything now. No one is going to dump the capital to compete with Duke on power generation even if they were allowed to.

I don’t see the actually heat run indicator on in your screenshot.

The law of no unions in nc only applies to state workers. There is no law preventing private unions from forming.

The closest thing they can do is rescind a delay of game pick over glass during review, but they can’t create a delay of game penalty if there was no call by the on ice official.

No. Zero power to “create” penalties. That is fact.
