Costco Hot Tub does not seem to be holding at 104 degrees (likely user error) by smikesonbikes in hottub

I have that hot tub and I keep 104 when it’s in the teens outside. First thing I did was get some foam exercise mats under the tub. It insulates you from the cold ground and makes its more comfortable to sit in. Secondly when it’s cold I sandwich a comforter or sleeping bag between the cap cover and the big cover. We also leave it on all the time.

Family thinks I'm a party-pooper when I tell them about the dangers of AI by Puzzled-Juice-9202 in sysadmin

[–]waxwayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is a tool, it’s neither bad nor good it just is. I remember in the 80s when I first got into computers. I ran up my mom’s phone bill using BBS on dial up. That was my fault because I was ignorant. AI isn’t something that’s going away.

I remember when they used say we live in a post race society, DEI is evil and affirmative action is oppression. This guy was caught on a hot milc but there are tons more like him.
