Some solid advice in here.

I’d also check the coils inside the unit. Look up under the filter you pulled. Coils are probably over that. Get a flashlight and have a look.

If they’re coated in gunk, they make spray cleaners that dissolve the whole mess.

Not cold enough, or frozen solid, sounds like nasty coils to me.

^ I can tell who did and who didn’t watch the whole debate. It was awful for Biden.

Too late to replace him, but I get why people are talking about it.

Dry them in the sun, reduces wear a great deal. Also nukes fungi.

I didn’t truly understand how much energy incandescent were burning. Grew up with nothing but those.

One night my AC crapped out in my tiny apartment so I killed the lights except one in a far corner. The air was so still I could reach my hand out and sense the heat from a 60W bulb.

One of those saved my ass on a solo, overnight kayaking trip. I mostly brought beer, ice and food in my tow-behind cooler because I had a Life Straw.

The trip was hell, most difficult thing I’ve ever done, wasn’t sure I’d make it out. Was good on water until the next day when I finally broke out onto the main creek.

Cut the top off a can and sucked down 7 refills of creek water. Tasted exactly like warm, flat, tap water.

the EPA hadn’t killed them with poorly written standards

Thank you! I see so many people blaming the manufacturers for greed. No, the EPA killed the small truck. Perfect example of well-meaning laws paving the road to hell.

And so is every Coke bottle with 5 times the plastic. And so is every store-bought coffee. Yet… silence. 🦗🦗🦗

What about bottles? Far more energy requires to melt and pour glass. No one says a word about single use.

Never found a K-cup on the beach or trail, but I pack plastic bags to haul trash and sometimes load 2 or 3.

Yes, it’s a waste, but the whole thing was blown way the hell out of proportion.

I hike, kayak, canoe, whatever, all over the place. Every plastic bottle I pick up contains, what, 5 times the plastic? I pick up a LOT. And nobody thinks twice or raises a fuss.

We use a Keurig, but either with plastic refill cups or paper bags my wife brings home from the hotel.

The vegemite sandwiches are enough to keep me away.

Such as falling whales?

I’m using a wall-mounted TV as a 2nd monitor.

I am streaming to my TV. 50" TV on my desktop for a daily driver, 55" (wired) on the wall for media.

Windows PC. I’m wired from my 50" TV monitor to a 55" on the wall.

Y’all liberals one the only ones listening to this man. Seriously. Nobody calls his hypocrisy but the left. And should such a call reach his followers, it’s simply tuned out. His worshipers, much like Christians, just cut and paste the bits they like into memory, rest is just noise.

None of these people give two shits about Trump the man, and all his heinous behavior, past and present. He’s merely a symbol, a brick thrown through the window of woke.

Apologies for the ramble, it’s just that these stories are so very old after 8-years, pointless. When Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue without repercussion, it was true. Those of that know, know. No one else is listening.

Reminds me of Code of the Lifemaker, where mechanical life evolves on Titan. Seemed oddly plausible when I read it, but it’s been 20+ years. LOL, maybe it was stupid.

Love my Jellyfin server, but I have 2 gripes over just using VLC.

• Can’t use the scroll wheel for volume. It’s a pain aiming for the volume from across the room on the couch.

• JF won’t boost volume past 100% like VLC.

Know of any fixes?

“Fifty thousand years ago there were these three guys spread out across the plain and they each heard something rustling in the grass. The first one thought it was a tiger, and he ran like hell, and it was a tiger but the guy got away. The second one thought the rustling was a tiger and he ran like hell, but it was only the wind and his friends all laughed at him for being such a chickenshit. But the third guy thought it was only the wind, so he shrugged it off and the tiger had him for dinner. And the same thing happened a million times across ten thousand generations - and after a while everyone was seeing tigers in the grass even when there were`t any tigers, because even chickenshits have more kids than corpses do. And from those humble beginnings we learn to see faces in the clouds and portents in the stars, to see agency in randomness, because natural selection favours the paranoid. Even here in the 21st century we can make people more honest just by scribbling a pair of eyes on the wall with a Sharpie. Even now we are wired to believe that unseen things are watching us.”

Unsweet tea. Wife has made green tea for the last few batches, liking that even more.

If I’m outdoors, kayaking or hiking or whatever, I carry frozen water.

The Industrial Revolution absolutely exploded the world, good call.

And in Florida, the employer can go fuck themselves.
