Straight down the sink. It's a rental.

If it was just that one thing, I wouldn't either. But I'm impressed with their half-assing ability. Last year I was mounting an outside mini-split unit and found where when they turned a porch into a bedroom, they didn't bother building an external wall. They put up studs, drywall on the inside, nothing but foamboard and vinyl siding on the outside.

That's exactly what I'm finishing today. That foam board works pretty good and is super easy to work with. Also make sure the air seal is good. I used foam tape where the hatch rests against the frame.

When I crawled up in the attic, I found where the previous owner got halfway done and just gave up. There's still 4-5 unopened rolls of insulation just setting in the corner.

I'm sure it can. I found several tutorials on how to add it to Dolphin's right click context menu, I just haven't taken the time to do it.

Lower your standards and close down some bars.

For linux I use exiftool

They aren't actively displacing people with a rightful claim to the land?

But both are identical in that they should be razed.

Sen. Ted Cruz isn't waiting to propose changes. He introduced legislation Tuesday that would require all aircraft operators to use both forms of ADS-B, or Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast, the technology to broadcast aircraft location data to other planes and air traffic controllers.

"There cannot be a double standard in aviation safety," Cruz said. "We should not tolerate special exceptions for military training flights, operating in congested air space."

'Wholly agreeing with Ted Cruz' was not on my bingo card today.

The line pressures are much higher when heating so the compressors are having to work harder. Plus some units have resistive heaters in the compressors that come on during low temps.

Hence my question: compared to its heating capabilities, does a heat pump use much more electricity for cooling?

In my experience, they use slightly more electricity heating than cooling. I retrofitted my 120 year old home with inverter style heat pumps about a year ago and have been watching the energy use during temperature extremes.

They do seem a lot more susceptible to drafts than traditional central heat and air units; So making sure your doors and windows are sealed, and the attic (if you have one) is properly ventalated, will go a long ways towards helping their efficiency.

 

Found this in the attic of a house built a few years before Oklahoma's statehood. Looks old, but also looks like a reproduction of something old. It's at least old enough to be super brittle and has tannin staining on the back where it was mounted to a piece of wood for a LONG time.

Lil' Smokies doesn't come out too often. She's usually in her attic lair being antisocial.

 

Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked recently but I can't find it while searching.

Are there any web based lemmy clients (like alexandrite) out there that allow post filtering by keyword? I'm not as concerned about filtering comments, but that would be nice as well.

And if it has to be an app, any suggestions for a linux desktop?

Help with KRDC (self.linux)
submitted 5 months ago by seathru to c/linux@lemmy.ml
 

PC A and B are running Fedora 41, both on the same local network. I used to be able to use KRDC to remote desktop from PC A to B. After letting both PCs update a couple weeks ago, it's no longer working. When I try, I get the username and password prompt. But after entering, I get a "Could not connect to server" error in KRDC. I get the following errors in the terminal:

KRDC: Starting RDP session

Unfortunately I don't know what update broke it. I just hit 'update all' and walked away. Thanks for any help. Also open to suggestions on any better remote desktop programs.

After seeing articles about this I checked my cat's microchip on www.aaha.org no registration info comes back. Savethislife was a major pet registry in the US.

Main heat isn't working until the repair guy hopefully comes tomorrow. Supposed to be in the 20's (F) tonight; hope 3 cats and a (electric) blanket are enough.

spoiler explanation

Edit: Heat is fixed. I'll miss you cats.

Runner Bun (files.catbox.moe)
 

Looks like he's getting lined up on a bun sized starting gate.

Moving soon, gonna miss you buns. While I'm pretty sure I could catch them all. I don't think moving in then releasing a bunch of wild rabbits into the neighborhood is a good way to say hello.

 
 

I can't read instructions and ended up with an extra from eneba. I'm too lazy for the refund process; But I will trade it for a photo of your pet, or the neighbors pet, or a bird that hangs out in your yard, favorite garden spider, etc. As long as you are willing to sign an affidavit stating you have given this animal pets or made friendly noises in it's direction. First message meeting this criteria gets it. Only have one, Sorry.
