Ha. That does seem to be the only logical solution.

I'm guessing these guys have never had Pigeon-Induced Severe Sleep Exhaustion Disorder. I ended up chronically PISSED due to some loud ass pigeons nesting outside my window. 4 hours sleep a night over a period of months sucks.

Cheaper option than MVHR but notably worse. Missed opportunity.

Yes in retrofit, OP was suggesting that they are mandatory in new build houses and that is not the case. If they were mandatory nobody would be fitting MVHRs as trickle vents make them not function.

In the UK, trickle vents above windows and doors were historically used for passive ventilation to prevent mould by allowing airflow. However, modern building practices and regulations, including stringent air tightness requirements mandate

Of course climate change is real but of course we can do something about it. My point is denialism and defeatism lead to the same end point. Attack that statement directly if you want to change my mind.

Sounds like standard doomer crap tbh. I'm not sure which is more dangerous at this point - climate change denialism (it isn't happening) or climate change doomerism (we can't stop it, might as well give up)

The issue is old people don't like change. If an older person is used to the WIMP interface there is no point forcing them to change how they do everything.

That is your opinion and you are welcome to it, I'd agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

My original comment was simply flagging that there are red flags present. I didn't enumerate or elaborate any further than that until I was specifically asked to. Apologies if you feel that is dehumanising.

Is this contributing to the discussion or is it simply an ad-hominem?

I respect your opinion but disagree, my original comment was a lot clumsier.

The goal of my comments is to encourage vigilance if choosing to help. I have not set out to encourage people not to help. I was also specifically asked to elaborate when I tried to be vague and point to generic red flags.

by fartfeatures 3y ago
Yes I ran my comment through and asked it to take the rough edges off. I have no desire to worsen someone else's experience and my attempt at a comment was too cold. I simply want to warn people to have their guard up whilst helping.

Replied above. Also to add: * Completely new ycombinator account created 3 hours ago, no past history. * Anonymised email service. * Pseudonym. None of that is suspicious on its own necessarily but it is part of a pattern.

There are a lot of red flags in this post.

Is this different or do they do the exact same thing? https://github.com/paritytech/banana_split
