Every once in a while you read a story of someone that survived, it’s usually because they had a mask of some sort that filtered enough air through the grain so they could breathe. Like this guy: https://www.agweb.com/news/livestock/pork/descent-hell-farmer-escapes-corn-tomb-death

Sounds horrible!

Tbf if you wait for a deal you can get Ryobi batteries for really cheap… During Ryobi Days I got 4 9ah batteries for like a hundred bucks.

I’ve got Ryobi stuff I’ve beat up for the better part of a decade. They are great tools overall! A couple stinkers too of course.

Oof I felt this one

I hear you. Our garage door was obviously DIY’ed and it’s a little dodgy… And I don’t want anything to do with it lol. I knew someone who got killed by a garage door

Bleh, yeah it can be hard to wrangle HVAC stuff. For that reason, I’ve put off my HVAC redesign here for a few years and have been heating strictly with wood until I can come up with a design that I like. Contractors will rarely take the time to make a design that will work with your space in an attractive way

If it was me I guess I’d just soffit it out and try to make the soffit look interesting. It’ll always be kinda weird, but whatcha gonna do

Idk about that unit specifically, but dual-fuel setups do generally have a way to set their switchover points and contractors are basically always very conservative with where they set them… I think largely due to them not wanting callbacks on someone’s house not heating up fast enough.

You’ll have to research your whole setup and figure out where that is.

Stairs for sure, you’re gonna want a few coats of protection on them. I’d do no less than 5

Yeah I remember these, they were full of wonderment as a kid

If you’re in a place with codebase analytics you want to have at least one comment on every MR - otherwise the system will start to think you’re falling behind… I hate codebase analytics.

Saaaame, pretty frequently on my team actually

I don’t even know how long I used rif, but it was for the majority of my reddit time, and that is over 12 years.

Sad to see it go, but I’m also hopeful for our federated future. Reddit hadn’t been great for quite a while now.

I recommend doing 3 single head units. Each one can operate at peak efficiency, and they are baseline more efficient too with greater modulation capacity.

I’m in MN too and have been leaning toward a Gree Sapphire setup or an air-to-water heat pump with a backup boiler. There’s a lot of different kinds though, are you trying to meet your entire house load with the system?
