Furnace is one thing, the wiring in place is another I guess. My house is from the '50s, and the furnace was already replaced, but we have not laid new wiring. I think I need to look into that before the next wildfire season starts...

Not sure how much you'd gain, but one thing to note here is that I believe not all HVAC systems have an option of running just the blower w/o also heating the air.

Performance aside, using variant has an added benefit of making illegal states unrepresentable. Optionals + an enum still allows users to either nullopt all the members, or have more than one member that is not nullopt.

Do you by any chance know how it breaks down across different types of housing? Studio vs 1-bedroom vs 2-bedroom, townhouse vs single-family, etc? Any websites to find this kind of data that you'd recommend?

Sales tax can vary depending on state (among other things), see for example Oregon where it's 0%, vs Washington, where it's 6.5% (and my jurisdiction adds additional couple percent for a total of ~10%).

Last time I saw a number, vaccinations offer more than ~60% protection against infection with Delta altogether - did you run the numbers / see some study to arrive at "they're spreading it to more people", or is this a c

Can you elaborate a bit on how they are overlooked? You can still get vaccinated after recovering (high-profile example: D. Trump), and the recovered that have been processed by health care system can for example get the same QR code that t

That's also pretty nice, although elevating those tests to be first-class-citizens makes more sense to me. My approach is that "code is truth, despite what the comment says", and docstrings feel too much like comments, but I

Thanks, this is definitely closer to the original use of `egrep`! As for aliases, I prefer long forms because I don't need to think what the seemingly random collections of letters mean, and tab-completion / PowerShell ISE makes i

Not OP but to me the best thing about PowerShell is that it recognizes that text is not always the best way to output results from commands if you care about creating pipelines. In short, it passes objects around so there's no need for

Thanks! This seems to be US-specific, and I'd be interested to read about other places (the original claim was about "many countries"). Sibling comments seem to disagree, at least when it comes to Europe.

Do you have a source to back up the claim from your last sentence? My understanding is that if you can cook with your tap water, then it should also be safe to drink (or can be made safe to drink by boiling it). If you're worried about

I can certainly ask every RV owner to agree to it and they are free to accept my terms or look for another lot. Or maybe I can say that every RV will be sniffed by a dog and in case it detects something, the RV will be entered to check for

"assuming there's an offer" = "assuming there's someone willing to sell". Why can you assume it in one case but not in the other? If there's no offer, maybe you're asking for too much? As the top leve

by bialpio 5y ago
Care to explain what you mean? Of course you can switch jobs for a higher offer _if you can find it_ (and if you can "always" do it, it could mean there's a labor shortage), the same way with chips to buy.

Only one category ("married children of US citizens"), only for Mexicans, comes close enough to ~30 years total time (~24 years waiting to become LPR, +5 years being an LPR in USA) to consider the "30 years" as valid IMO
