Local networks might be the only way to make this cheap enough to drive enough customers to use it. The programs are too expensive for me to justify, and a big part of that is the packaging and shipping costs. Local networks doing daily del

Speaking of toasters, recently came across someone complaining they had to keep buying new ones. It dawned on me, look at what a place like Waffle House uses. Thus, I'd recommend a Waring toaster. No way a corp like Waffle House is gon

I'm sure it varies brand to brand. Miele isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel for margin.

The repair comment is interesting. It seems in the US if you have a warranty claim for an appliance they contract with some generic repairman who has to order parts.

Spent the last year searching for a reasonable aged Bosch 300 series or above. Finally found a 3 year old Bosch 500 for less than $200. Good dishwashers are totally worth it, relatively easy to repair, quiet, efficient, and clean well. If I

Sounds like prison, but the result was interesting. When I was laid off, and decided to take a month before looking. There were a lot of "life housekeeping" tasks that I decided to do. Looking back I'd recommend to anybody lo

I wouldn't worry about it, these gasses are included in the blanket PFAS classification, but they are fundamentally different and thus non-toxic. r134a, a common refrigerant, and likely what your system uses if it's less than 10 y

Something I heard from a large company in Atlanta. Productivity didn't drop off a ton, but innovation did. People are effectively in silos at home and they couldn't figure out a way to recreate the collaborative effect that was se

I think technically speaking there could be a delay between two points. However, the "hum" being fingerprinted is the precise frequency which is tightly coupled through electromechanical action of all the generators on the grid sp

Years later and my Alexa in my bathroom still only successfully starts NPR when I ask it to maybe 80% of the time. Alexa isn't getting any better at recognizing my voice? At 8am everyday, it hasn't learned I'm likely asking f

One of the dramatic effects I’ve noticed is I finally know what being truly hungry feels like. I can differentiate between appetite and hunger. I used to think it was odd how people would turn down food when it’s offered to them. Either my

You reminded me I need to buy one. I cook on cast and stainless. My friend swears by carbon steel.

If it doesn't have one already, look at installing a compressor blanket. This reduces compressor noise significantly. High end models generally have these already, but you can buy purpose built blankets for something like $70. No, wrap

Yeah, it's pretty weird to me. I used to live in Massachusetts and these inspections performed an important purpose in my eyes. Now I live in Georgia and you'll see people driving around on bald tires, frames that are falling apar

This is why in some states, you are required to get an inspection of the vehicle and one of those items on that checklist is to ensure the headlights are aimed correctly. It's a massive problem.

I certainly learned over time what my triggers are. As I've gotten older, anything bad for my body ultimately makes me sick in some way. I have it bad enough now that I'm gonna get it for any reason, it's even become a proble

Reading this made me think about how Twizzler Pull and Peel make me cough. Went and looked it up. Yellow 5 is in them. Have been diagnosed ADD for the last 22 years. Huh.

I bought a food processor specifically to grate mozzarella for pizzas. I still pretty much only use it for that reason. Hah. Used to take me like 5 min to grate a lb of cheese. Now I blast through a block of cheese with the fury of 1200 wat

I was telling a friend how unfortunate it is that I live in the south and kept a bottle of this in my car for over a year. I have pretty bad heartburn issues and used to take it only on occasion. Maybe I'll get $35 from a settlement to

I can provide a likely incomplete summary of the improvements. Compressors themselves have gotten much more energy efficient, although I'm not sure the impact on CoP is all that great since and waste heat from the compressor is being d

Just to clarify, it is more efficient to lower the set-point in the winter over night. The issue is when your thermostat is set to utilize aux heat if the delta is higher than your set point change in the morning. For example. If you change

That's insane. Proper sizing is paramount, it's also a good way to surface that 5k in insulation improvements might be the better first step to consider vs installing a larger system just to keep up with losses.

This guy is a great resource if you want to understand what goes into a proper A2W system install. In Europe, it seems by law they are required to do heat loss calculations to size an install. In the US, it seems to be a little more loose.
