This sounds like the air sealing in your unit isn't very good, as your unit shouldn't fall back to exterior temperature very quickly unless the insulation is insufficent or the air sealing is poor. Nevermind that insulation betwee

Seriously? Your going to claim to not know of the existence of ATMs or cash back at most grocery stores/7-Elevens? If this is actually your world, I hate to think of the places you'll be constrained to, especially in the US. Seatt

How new is the building? Are the exterior walls properly insulated and sealed? My friends in a 3 year old building in Ballard have had to open their windows through the last few weeks, and they're only near the top floor. Another frien

There is such a thing as unlimited, one of the people on our T-Mobile account is at 147GB of tethering with another week to go. People have successfully used both the plans I mentioned for home internet. If your not in a very congested area

That is on purpose, limiting the quantity of 2 bedroom units built and clamping down on the permitting process for 3 and 4 bedroom apartments and condos is critical for cities and towns that want to keep middle income and poor families from

What OP describes is pretty common in the PNW, town squares or neighborhood squares will have a number of different seating areas, restrooms, hookups so you can have a food vendor or three without stringing electric cabling and water pipes

Despite heavy insulation, quite a bit of heat still migrates upward in new apartments and condos. Your neighbors are also nearly perfect insulation compared to your exterior walls too :P

Either the VC advisor was asleep at the wheel, or they knew full well that Munchery would screw hundereds of people out of their hard earned wages. The investors should be held liable for their role in letting Munchery violate labor law, fa

This freeway removal project was generally considered a success, I know I rather enjoyed the benefits of the new waterfront park in Portland when I was younger. Lots of good memories!

I think what was missed during this viadoom was that SR-99 allowed many employers to demand people needlessly commute to an office, when most of the former daily users could work from home or at a closer location. The Wednesday after the Vi

Alaskan Way was a busy 4 lane road prior to the seawall replacement project and SR-99 construction, the two addes lanes are dedicated for busses. Really wish we had kept rail along this alignment (rather than letting Seattle Art Museum dest

3 months of inventory are "in flight" being manufactured at any given time, that is the minimum amount of affected inventory. Huge feedback loop, most chip designers can only squeeze in 2 revisions a year due to this.

Are the water sources in Southern India safe to drink? Wrt the Ganges, iirc there was a project started a few years ago that was supposed to clean it up, yet the river is still dirty as ever. For what is such a revered river, you think that

I'd love to think so, but its unrealistic to think India will suddenly mature or that global oppinions of it will change. Ridiculous court cases caused by the religious anti-hate speech laws have prevented basic health and safety conce

This right here is why I switched to Debian. Got tired of downstream forks breaking the upgrade process, which hasn't been an issue since switching a few years back. The Gnome software center makes it easy to find and install apps too,

What was that, a bathroom rental service? Sounds like profiteering off basic bodily functions, in a way that was previously uncommon & often socially unacceptable.

Socialize the losses and privatize the gains, but only for those who are wealthy and in power. That is our current system in America, too big to fail.

Problem is how do you trust the VPN operator? They have your connection metadata, and no reason not to use it against you. If you want a trusted first hop into the Tor network, use a guard node run by a friend or yourself: https:/&#x2

Where can I get such an "anonymous" vpn? The VPN providers are selling the traffic logs and/or charging you in a traceable way, while Tor literally routes you through multiple VPN servers (aka Tor Relays) to mitigate this ris

Three standard deviations from center leaves you with just the 0.15% on either end. If Tor is to remain as an acceptable thing to run and use, the Tor Project can't outwardly espouse ideology that drives away the normal users that allo

Open Source is a term that is a fair bit younger than Free Software/Libre software. It was created so those who didn't like GPLed and similarly licensed software could easily talk about lightly licensed software (eg: BSD). Most of

Most US cities are lacking a functional transit system. Seattle, Portland and a few others are odd birds in how transit gets dedicated bus jumps/lanes, signal priority, and is generally notably faster than driving during rush hour. In

Its also a redheaded stepchild that Apple has discontinued without a replacement, not a great place to migrate to if you want a new phone of similar size in 3 or 4 years running iOS.
