I felt like that about VVVVVV but I beat that one. Celeste looks very similar. I’m a fairly casual gamer.

The US has apprenticeships as well. Not sure why this person doesn’t think they do …

Big box retailers want to own the property they’re on. Most of the time they own the property any other shops are in even in their lot. Big box has a huge realty presence. They out malled the malls in this regard.

That’s 20 hours of driving at 65mph.

Risky click but worth it.

91 Honda Civic CRX Si w/black gold fleck paint and a moon roof. Not rare but definitely niche.

I LOVED this car. Super short wheel base and an absolute sleeper since it was so light. Only ICE that could get going like a EV that I’ve been in. And you were practically sitting on the road. With the door open I could easily put my palm on the ground. Even at 25mph it felt like you were speeding. So much fun to drive.

If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.

Thank you for being honest.

Humans are emotional creatures. We can’t change that. Even when we’re being rational we’re still basing every decision we make on emotions. “I’ve researched this and I feel this is the right decision.”

I learned some lessons from elders a long time ago that the one thing they wished they had done differently is spend more time with family and friends. Helping someone is an extension of that and truly makes me happy. Nothing else gives as much meaning.

American, love Disney for the reasons you said. We go every few years since we all enjoy it. They go to great lengths to ensure it feels magical every time.

Branch Manager for a 3 trade company. 30% of my job is to recruit new techs. Apart of that is to take them to lunch/dinner, outings, etc to get to know them and see if they’d be a good fit.

No. I live to help people and continue making connections. I wouldn’t want to change that.

No idea, I moved away and moved on. Have a great life. Don’t care what the others are doing. Hope they’re well.

It’s not ChatGPT like, it is ChatGPT, specifically GPT-4o.

So, Apple is using the latest version of the best LLM out there and its opt-in. That’s a hugely different approach as you mentioned.

Donnie Darko, I found it incredibly predictable.

I agree that shutting 1 vent isn’t going to kill your system. However, that one room isn’t insulated on interior walls. Best to leave it alone for overall comfort. You aren’t saving $ closing the vent. The system is going to run until the thermostat is satisfied no matter what.

Also, best thing for the entire building is to run the fan constantly (I forgot to mention this in the original). Balances the building much better than just the entire system kicking on and off every 15 min or so.

Proper dampers redirect airflow, not eliminate it. Again, see, your house builder sucks.

HVAC: Don’t shut your air vents to give you better heating or cooling in certain rooms/floors. You’re adding pressure to your system and reducing its life. If it’s AC then you’re turning it into a freezer. That’s why doing so freezes the coil, not enough air flow to move the cold air out and keep it from freezing. For heat it literally can overheat the control board frying it since the blower also helps cool the electronics. If you have hot and/or cold rooms (this is normal per floors) ask about adding dampers. Most of the time it’s not possible without major drywall rework and it isn’t cheap. Your builder sucks (basically). A lot of companies won’t quote the work because it can’t be guaranteed. You’re essentially stuck with the crappy design the builder got approved. One potential is minisplits. Again, not cheap per room and not pretty but they will fix your issue.

In my state you aren’t required to have your license with you while driving. You just have to provide it within 24 hours of getting pulled over, etc.
