I “upgraded” my HVAC to a super modern heat pump with fully variable compressor for efficiency. But the only thermostat that can drive it is a crappy Trane 1050 The remote thermostats can only be averaged and not switched (eg Measure Bedro

My neighborhood (In the Seattle area) has intersections with small, 4 way roundabouts that are combined with 2 way stops (there’s a main street no stop with 2 side streets with stop signs) It’s madness!

There is code in Microsoft Outlook that, although updated over the years, is essentially the same file format as it was in 1994 - and the code is unlikely to have been entirely rewritten in that time In 2010, Microsoft published the PST fil

King County is opening an extra space for homeless men to allow them to be more than 6 feet apart in the shelter. Someone is thinking about it, but it was crappy before, and now it’s crappy and scary. That’s the only thing I’ve noticed abou

I’m a big fan of the British TV show Time Team that is now on Amazon Prime streaming In earlier seasons, they often recreate some of the artifacts of the age they are digging, and it’s fascinating to see some of that technology in action

This is disappointing. Since the $200,000 is immaterial to you, just cancel that deal entirely. You’re certainly going to lose more than that now this this letter is public. This shouldn’t be this hard to figure out.
