All the HVAC control systems are anti-opensource. They pretend like their proprietary controls are trade secrets worth billions in research and development, but ultimately they are all just glorified mercury switches. Honeywell, Johnson, Mitsubishi, Schneider, Trane, Siemens, none of them want to allow third party control without getting their beaks wet with licensing fees. Even their commercial departments have started phasing out support for protocols like BACNet and Modbus.
Temperature sensors are cheap as shit. Low voltage relays are cheap as shit. Even digitally controlled zone dampers shouldn’t cost more than $100 installed. If you can access your ventilation in your attic or basement, you could zone every room in your house for less than it costs to replace a single AC compressor, and run it all on a raspberry pi.
But you need to know what you’re doing, and they will throw every hurdle in your way. No contractors would risk drawing the ire of their suppliers by doing it for you.
The planet is warming overall. This causes climate change as the polar ice melts. It means more extremes in temperatures and localized colder temperatures, and OP explained why. OP wasn’t wrong, and you’re being deliberately obtuse.
I tried to get into it, but between finding recipes and washing the blender, it wasn’t less effort or money than just making a sandwich. I did not find it helpful as a diet aid, because I would still be hungry after a “meal replacement.” If I don’t have time to cook, I don’t have time to blend. If I make a bunch in advance, I can just as easily make a bunch of salads in containers.
I’m already fat and disabled, though, and I work from home, so factor that into my experience.
You mean like all the child-friendly content built around Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummies, Zombies, Werewolves, Ghosts, but with Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Ghostface, Jigsaw, Annabelle, Chucky, Pinhead, Xenomorphs, etc?
Do you often find yourself daydreaming of a life you never lived? Do you sometimes wonder if your accomplishments will be remembered? Are you able to pass through solid objects like doors or other people? Do you occasionally feel light headed or sleepy for no reason?
When you hear the dog barking outside, and they’re like “What’s gotten into Sparky?” and then there’s like a little yelp and no more barking. Man, fuck that.
That’s kind of the entire conversation we’re having. If time travel exists, then why hasn’t the past been improved, led to is it even possible to improve on the past, led to would time travelers be able to change anything, led to how would we know if time travel exists. Is it important? Only if you want to answer any of the questions we’ve asked. What would we anticipate they do? That’s all of the questions we’ve asked.
Ok but then going back to study and learn would probably include a policy of non-intervention. So how would you know we aren’t constantly surrounded by time travelers blending in?
