Who the fuck is Dennis

Diversity makes these white people happy

I think you mean CIBC

I interpreted it to be from the squirrel’s perspective. Let alone miraculously knowing what an acorn and a tree are called, how do you expect a squirrel to know it’s an Oak tree?

Yeah those are good points, sure. I shouldn’t wear headphones while driving, and the door speakers are basic anyway, so I don’t see that a priority right now, but have considered that before. TBH, the only music I do listen to via steaming service is the stuff I haven’t bought physical copies of yet, and copied over.

That is everything I’d need. Idk how I’d work that into my small ass 1 bdrm, but now you’ve got me thinking about it.

Thanks for sharing

I have a 128gb smart phone with bluetooth and wifi. Can literally listen to anything everywhere any time the battery is charged

This is probably how it sounds to some older millenials or gen x’ers when I, a younger millenial talk in meme references

Ehh, call me a 🤡 but I kinda like sitting at home to browse, pay for the thing that doesn’t even exist at another store, then go get it at the post office 2 blocks away from home, right beside the grocery store, on my way home when it’s ready.

I wnna get back into the gym, but just have a hard time making time when I spend 2 hrs a day driving to and from work and I gotta make my own dinner and clean up. 😩

How do you do it?

Am skinny, grew up tall and skinny quickly, and spent most of age 18 - 26 doing low wage manual labour. Now 30 and I’m with the “my back hurts” crew. Also have scoliosis so that may or may not relate to it

Spiral out

Keep purring

Just curious what’s wrong with saying Google?

What is the Chinese Elm working on exactly?

Lol yeah, a motor can run in either direction, but I can’t think of any that do in the equipment I service as part of normal operation right now.

Me. I can use Sync for Lemmy .

Small correction, no motor runs backward. You can’t reverse the flow through a compressor, so heat pumps have a reversing valve that slides back and forth to reverse the flow of refrigerant in the system.

Here’s a fun video to watch

And now you’ve stumbled upon the debate that us air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics are all participating in. Refrigerants right now have some sort of danger.

R-22 has an ozone depletion potential. It has clhlorine atoms that break up ozone in the atmosphere, and it’s been discontinued in 2020.

R-410A has flourine atoms, so has no ozone depletion potential but has a global warming potential, like CO2. It’s the current refrigarant for air conditioners and heat pumps, next to be phased out when we find a better replacement.

Ammonia is natural and not harmful for the environment, but flammable and toxic in high concentrations. Lucky for you, most air conditioning or residential/commercial refrigeration systems don’t use it, it’s only large scale industrial refrigaration, like fisheries, ice cream and yogurt factories, etc.

Some say the hydro companies are pushing heat pumps to make more money. They also require more maintenance than a furnace, which also cost $$. Change your filters, and have your electrical components checked at least once per year and your system be happier in the long run and you’ll save on break downs and repairs.

Me, I just try to do a good job, practice good workmanship to make sure my installs and the equioment I maintain don’t leak or break. That’s how I’m doing my part for the planet

We’re constantly trying to do better and be better, it’s just a long process.

I’m a 4th year AC/R mechanic born and raise in Southern Ontario, currently in BC.

You mebtioned your hydro was up but gas was down. Out of curiosity, can you tell me how your total cost of heating changed before/after your first winter with your heatpump? Did you end up saving money?

Why did you emigrate less often?
