How would I troubleshoot an AC unit that isn't working well.
  • Not legal and definitely not easy to get local without a license. There’s always someone will to sell on the black market. Also, shit is dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. I was trying to give the OP sound advice, you know, what they’re asking for.

  • NES – July 2024 Game Update – Nintendo Switch Online
  • Solar Jetman! I loved that game.

  • How would I troubleshoot an AC unit that isn't working well.
  • Stick a thermometer in the vent. Should be around 50-60°F coming out. You’re potentially low on refrigerant. Any frost on the coil box (usually above the furnace)?

    Unfortunately this is 100% not user fixable. Typically requires specialized tools to diagnose and then fix. You also can’t buy refrigerant without a license.

  • To those of you who drink tea: What brand of tea do you drink?
  • Traditional: Bigelow or Twinnings Earl Grey

    Fruity:Pineapple Hawaiian Breeze (excellent flavor). https://www.spicemerchants.biz/green-teas/pineapple-hawaiian-breeze

    Iced: Lipton Black Iced Tea slightly sweetened

    Guilty pleasure: Lipton Instant Tea

  • Report shows that AAA games for iPhone and iPad aren’t exactly a hit with users
  • You know what would get people to play them on their phones? If we could use our Phones as our desktop when docked, DEX like. I mean the processing power is there (maybe not cooling).

  • In the US, did Amazon kill the mall, is everyone too broke, or a combination of other factors?
  • 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.

  • Why don't low birth-rate countries make immigration to their country easier?
  • That’s a weak argument. Just because I bring up another point of view doesn’t mean I subscribe to the view mentioned, which I don’t.

    If a country doesn’t want to allow immigration then that’s perfectly moral. It may eventually kill their culture off in the long run but it’s not xenophobic by definition.

    If a country does allow immigration and then is prejudice towards a group coming in then absolutely that’s xenophobic.

  • Why don't low birth-rate countries make immigration to their country easier?
  • I think there’s a difference between being prejudice towards an outside group and not wanting your own culture replaced.

    There is nothing inherently wrong with countries and their cultures not wanting to have others integrate. In the past this is what helped them survive.

    It’s only a big issue in countries like the US that want to be a mixing bowl/melting pot and also are being xenophobic.

  • EXIT [OC]
  • I like the simplicity.

  • How 0% APR credits make money?
  • Depends on the terms. The better 0% fee deals only charge you interest on the remaining balance if not paid in full. Pays to read all of the terms before signing up.

  • Two US astronauts stuck in space onboard Boeing’s Starliner capsule
  • I, too, am sick of headlines being lies to gain eyeballs. It’s damaging to society. Ugh.

  • What's you favorite song lyric of all time?
  • Running with my eyes closed Weary flesh and bone I can feel the fire Burning in my lungs

    Maybe there's a reason why My heart pounds inside my chest Saying it's okay to take your time Slow it down, you just need rest

    I've been holding on with all my might But can hardly catch my breath Thinking maybe it's the hope inside That comes alive When it's all we have left

    Dancing with the ocean Caught up in the tide I can feel the motion Pull me out to the cold and darker side

    But maybe there's a reason why I get dragged beneath the surface Every kick against the current I sink down deeper and I ask myself

    Is there something more than meets the eye That makes all these troubles worth it? Or could it be the hope inside That comes alive When it's all we have left? When it's all we have left

    It's alright, yeah it's okay If this all stays the same Old dreams will die New dreams will grow But I just want a hand to hold A hand to hold

    We are the flowers that are ready for rain Waiting for the water to restore what remains Wilted hearts harmonize together in pain Singing hallelujah while we wait

    Echoing voices from inside of the hall Spray painted pictures on the side of the wall Looking for meaning in the midst of it all Are we even listening anymore?

    Maybe there's a reason why This world spins around in circles Like it's giving us another try Every sunrise to find purpose

    Has it been happening all this time Like another breath that goes unnoticed? I'm leaving what is lost behind to find the light 'Cause maybe it's the hope inside That comes alive When it's all we have left

  • What ridiculous history fact is your favorite?
  • Risky click but worth it.

  • How far in advance do you usually plan vacations?
  • Year, year and half, sometimes 2. Just depends on the pieces that are involved and how long it’ll take to get them all to line up. Family/friends are invited on some vacations, sometimes it’s just us and we have to book it out as far as possible due to demand. We rarely do anything spontaneous. Wife is a major planner.

    Currently we have: July 4th weekend at a campground with church friends September 2024 in state at a mountain cabin for wife’s bday. March 2025 in planning for an Alaskan vacation to visit family and see the Iditarod September 2025 in planning for a family beach vacation.

  • Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide — instructions redacted earlier this week
  • Capitalism is the reason. They’re already at peak market share. Since they’re a publicly traded company, they have to do something to continue growing. Ads is probably the easiest, most obvious, but ultimately damaging idea. CEO doesn’t care since he probably has a fat golden parachute if ousted. The entire thing is rigged against shareholders and users.

    [ISSUE] Layer is closer at one end than other

    My prints come out very well but I’m noticing on larger prints that one corner of my bed prints tighter than the opposite. What’s causing this?

    Printing on an Ender 3 Pro with upgraded metal extruder, beefier bed springs and metal levelers, and upgraded hot end. Not direct drive yet and no auto bed leveling.

    Unaffiliated Voter in CO - Who to vote for in Primaries?

    In Colorado this year (2024), unaffiliated voters were mailed out their ballots for both the Democratic and Republican Presidential Primaries and get the chance to vote in one or the other (NOT both).

    I’m fairly centrist. I lean left on progressive ideals and right on economic (yeah, it’s fun /s).

    The question is, who’s should I put my vote in for? Is it better to vote for Biden or another candidate in the Democratic, or another candidate that isn’t Trump in the Republican. Again, we can only vote in one of the primaries or our vote won’t count if we vote in both. It’s one or the other.

    What is best?

    Jump button blocks last comment

    Problem: when placed on the bottom, the jump button blocks the last comment in a thread.

    Solution: Need to be able to scroll past the top of the jump button on the last comment

    Bug: Editing a comment doesn’t stick

    When editing a comment and posting the edit, if you then want to re-edit the comment you get the original comment, not the edited version. This only happens when using the 3 dot menu on the right of the comment. If you tap and hold and use that edit, it shows the most recent. Supremely annoying.

    [Feature Request] Adjust Text Size

    It looks like this is probably in the works since the Use System Text Size option doesn’t do anything currently but just in case it isn’t I’d like the option to increase text size from the system default.
