rdb posted:A fire place like that is for show only. All the heat goes straight up the chimney, and all the supply air gets pulled in from the house. Unless the fire gets roaring hot enough to heat all the bricks and then dies back and provides latent heat, it's really a waste. A good quality insert will actually make it worth while but good luck with that in an apartment. Figured as much. Though at my last apartment, you actually could feel a good amount of heat from the fireplace. This one? You feel it if you're standing right in front of it and that's about it. And given the quality of maintenance here, I doubt the chimney has been cleaned in ages, so a roaring fire is out of the question. The cat still doesn't trust it, despite the lack of fire right now.

You feel it if you're standing right in front of it and that's about it. And given the quality of maintenance here, I doubt the chimney has been cleaned in ages, so a roaring fire is out of the question. Our house has a freestanding iron stove / heater and even that takes at least an hour to start actually putting out any heat. It's also got more complex controls than my Studebaker did: you open the flue, close down the catalytic converter intake, open the air intakes fully, open side and front doors, add firewood, light the fire, close one door, once it gets going decently close the other door, then close the flue and open the catalytic converter air intake some, then once it's got some real nice coals going you can close down the front air intake a little bit to make it burn slower. If it's not burning well, I open the flue and then open the ash cleanout door underneath, which turns it into a loving blast furnace. Once you get it burning for an hour or so, it starts to put out some pretty good heat, and the catalytic converter is supposed to kick in around 400 F.

A traditional Franklin stove works fairly well, since it can actually radiate all around. Even better if you install a heat exchanger in the stack to capture some of the exhaust heat. Mind you, my experience with them has been in relatively mild north and central Texas winter weather, but they definitely produce heat. Worked pretty well in dad's hunting cabin in deer season.

It was slower than the Aero configuration and hell to work on since it didn't fit in the bay. Its true though that it wasn't sludge prone like the 4 cylinder though, but that was an easily solved problem.

Where does the water that endlessly pours off come from, or go to? Like, that's a lot of water when you think about it, and the world isn't infinite. Neither is its supply of water, which I guesstimate to run out within a matter of hours or days at the most. If the water source is infinite, and we take cosmological timescales into account, then there should be a supermassive black hole somewhere behind the turtle, with a very large stream of water feeding it. How does the turtle outrun the black hole?

I might start drinking to forget that one of my customers today had 1488 as the pin on the card they used. He kept repeating it out loud, not understanding why it wasn't working before calling the card owner and verifying that it was the pin, had the card owner check with his wife and yup, its 1488. Finally had him run it as credit to get him out before he asked more questions about why my eye was twitching every time he said that number. Then had to explain to my jewish boss what it meant. And explain to our resident idiot that sure, it might be a significant date or other number to the couple. Except it literally never is, its always neo-nazi bullshit. He now thinks I'm a conspiracy theorist that sees fascist thugs everywhere.

A medical clinic on one of the routes I'm responsible for knowing allows us to enter and leave through the employee entrance in the back so we don't have to walk through the waiting area.  The code to unlock the door is 1488.

In ARMA 3 Epoch one of my colleagues always pinned the keypads to vehicles and bases to 1488. I wished this was ironic but it seemed less likely as time passed. I was talking about the maintenance schedule for my 2017 RAV4H and the manual calls for oil changes (0W20 full synthetic) every ten. Thou. Sand. Miles. This generally causes two reactions when I tell someone this: - Oh cool yeah it's synthetic. Just check it every 1000 miles or so. - THIS WILL DRSTROY YOUR ENGINE! YOU MUST CHANGE THE OIL AT HALF THAT INTERVAL! YOU CANNOT CUT BACK ON FUNDING YOU WILL REGRET THIS!!!* * - imagine this being in 30 point impact font colored red

Mazda says 8k km/4 months for the Skyactiv 2.0 and the 1.5 in the mazda2 in Canada which takes 0w-20 (which is only available as synthetic). This has always seemed low to me.
