The fact that she got that close is scary. The fact that she did it without Bernie and AOC's endorsement is even scarier.
Not really, lot of uninformed older independents and non-extremist Democrats up there. Reading a recent article where an elder couple were convinced by their 18 year-old dimwit grandson to vote for Hong. Much of the LW voting population is intellectually lazy and poorly educated, easily duped by radicals who spout nonsense talking points.

He said most of the companies started moving forward on the changes already and he doesn't believe they would go back.
Too expensive at this point to stop the phase down of R-410A in favor of R-32 and R-454B (A2L's). In addition to the equipment changes, which are rather minimal, it's the production of A2L's and service equipment changes too. Unless they allow R-22 again their isn't much to gain allowing 4-10A again.

Is the combining of technology used the tipping point, or is it the proliferation that is the tipping point?
Both actually.

Flock combined the 2 to become more of a passive system to do the same thing.
Except it's not passive, it not only captures data but attempts to distill and make decisions, basically packaging and automating functions for LEA's that shouldn't be automated without strict safeguards for the information.

I don't really understand why you're all so upset about license plate readers when you're walking around with a tracking device in your pocket all day long.
You are far from alone as far as being a technological moron in the world. If you can't grasp the fact that a cell phone's lication data can be turned off or simply left at home vs a camera you have zero control over then you are not only stupid but exactly the kind of naive dolt that is ripe for abuse by these systems.
re: Chinese rocket suffers RUD shortly after takeoff

Doubtful. More than likely just plain corruption and backstabbing that is the heart of most Chinese dealings. Faked inspections, falsified materials reports, sabotage due to internal politics...all the usual Chinese culture.
Generally means there's a fault in the appliance letting stray current go where it shouldn't or the in-rush current draw for the compressor is too much for the GFCI.
Tofu dregs construction strikes again.
My fiancée's mother is not too far from that, 50 years of smoking, and there's no way she'd tolerate toting around an oxygen bottle or a concentrator though.
That retard definitely doesn't need to breed another generation.

If you're going to change out the capacitor make sure you take some pictures of the wiring, and follow the steps to change it out.
That but also know what exactly you are looking at too. Combination capacitors always follow a standard convention where C=COMmon=4 tabs, H=HERMetic=3 tabs, & F=FAN=2 tabs.
quote:
It's not difficult, but as long as make sure there's no power going to it and short the leads before touching it you'll be fine.
Capacitor can hold a pretty good zap even with the unit deenergized, can use a screwdriver to short the capacitor terminals against each other to avoid finding that out the hard way...:lol:
For the sake of general knowledge, here's a diagram that shows how to test a capacitor while the condenser is running which is what I do before and after the cooling season. Better to change a capacitor that is getting weak before its a problem and it also keeps the fan and compressor motors happy.
An ER doctor once told me the best things you can do for yourself is to get sleep, drink water, and stay a mile away from cigarettes.

A newer Tazer model can drive-stun for over 12 minutes on a single charge. The single-use batteries can run MUCH longer than that...:lol:

judge and yet I definitely judge people who say "do what now" when they didn't hear you the first time as being on the slower side and also the less emotionally well adjusted side, because only mentally slower people and adult children ever say it.
Imagine how poorly an oxygen thief like you is judged.
I picked this guy up off the side of I-40 in Arkansas one year ago to the hour.

I had a leaking pipe in the slab years ago.
Dealt with that for a friend while helping him remodel a kitchen. No wetness or hissing but I noticed this one small section of the slab was unusually warm, used my thermal camera to see a clear outline as well as the heat trace of the old copper line that used to feed a laundry nook that had been converted into additional storage cabinets years ago, long before the current owner. Yay for owning a demolition saw with a 14" diamond blade...:lol:

All that is true but you can’t say PEX will outlast copper all else being equal.
It certainly can, especially in cases were it's buried or can be subject to freezing. PEX doesn't care about corrosive conditions, can shrug off a freeze cycle that bursts copper, etc. They both have pros and cons like any other system. Same for Pro-Press systems.

ICE cars are expensive AF to maintain compared to EV.
That's funny because a family friend who was an early Tesla adopter and only owns Teslas now, is now complaining about the cost of getting them hauled for servicing since their concierge service dried up.
A good ICE vehicle is far from expensive to maintain too...some of you are drama queens.

They don't need to be as long as the upstream receptical is a GFCI.
