hooah posted:Our second story gets a lot warmer over the night/in the morning than downstairs. Particularly, our daughter's room gets quite warm - the monitor (which to be fair is mounted up near the ceiling) often reads temperatures in the upper 70s (F). Is there anything I can check or change to get the system to heat more evenly? I know that heat rises, but this seems a little ridiculous, and doesn't comport with what I remember growing up.

The restless leg thing is really common in schizophrenics (so, in my experience anyway, is big sugar/caffeine abuse). Do you get on other than the night screaming? NonzeroCircle fucked around with this message at 11:06 on Dec 21, 2016 |

WarpedNaba posted:Okay, I'm kinda fed up. Silly question, but have you tried taking to him about it (without yelling at him)? Other than that, I'd look at moving out. If you're both on the lease, it's as much his place as it is yours and so it would probably be very difficult to kick him out. But get him to stop? If he won't listen to reason I don't think there's anything you can do but leave. And consider subletting next time, if you can, so that you can kick out an annoying flatmate

One of the biggest causes of restless legs is antihistamines. I quit taking Benadryl to help me sleep and my restless legs have quieted down by about 90%. Probably completely unrelated to your situation.

Give it a few months and just accuse him of being a communist and he'll probably conveniently disappear. Leave some Marxist literature lying around in his room.

Either he is for real crazy and might take a poke at a cop, which gets him out of the house, or he is normal enough that having them called might get him to be a little more considerate. I mean if OP is too timid to just lay down the law himself, I don't see many other options.

Is sarcasm done differently in other languages? In English word emphasis matters a lot and can completely change the meaning of a sentence. "I definitely didn't do that" Is the German equivalent of that pretty much the exact same thing?

To keep them from blabbing about what Black Mesa was doing to the public- it had obviously failed catastrophically, so killing them makes life a lot easier for the military, the politicians, and the government in general.

There's an extension for Half-Life called Opposing Force that has you playing a Marine who's part of the clean-up crew. It's been a long time since I played it, but I think you're just supposed to wipe out everything at the facility to prevent any leakage or something.

He's a bit of a mooch - constantly leaving his room and awkwardly hanging around whenever he gets wind that I'm cooking or baking or bringing in my groceries. I'll indulge him a bit if I'm in a good mood, but he's kinda lost out of my good graces by this point. His mother basically supplies him with everything at this point, all he ever makes for himself is beans on toast - I've dropped hints that I'd be happy to teach him how to cook if that'd get him off my back, but then he backpeddles so fast it's like he's trying to murder the first four rows of the Tour De France. Hyperlynx posted:Silly question, but have you tried taking to him about it (without yelling at him)? Haven't yelled at him, but I have suggested that he walk outside to burn off whatever's fueling the twitch. He just claims it would annoy the neighbours, despite an open park not 100 metres away. I pointed out that better our neighbours get incensed than the entire household, to which he put his earphones on and went back to his room. big crush on Chad OMG posted:What possible legal ramifications could you have for telling your roommate to gently caress off into the street? Stranger things have happened. Also, if he makes up some bullshit about how I made him fear for his life it's really just his word vs mine. And that does fit the definition of assault if someone's in the mood for sob stories. Also, sending him screaming down the streets at 10pm could bite me in the rear end as a disturbance of the peace. bongwizzard posted:Wait till he is having a crazy fit and call the cops? Because he's not actually dangerous, just supremely annoying. Besides, calling in the cops would either get rid of him (Rent goes up) or just waste everyone's time.

Not sure if this can go here or if SH/SS is better I'm new in my position as an all around IT guy, and there is an in-house built program that needs an update so it points to a new server. It is built in VB and was originally published using visual studio. Unfortunately, due to office politics, the license for Visual Studio is kind of a mess, and my boss who has the reigns on the money is out on vacation, so I can't just get a new license for it. Is there some other alternative to Visual Studio that will let me open, edit and save/publish a .sln file? I know what needs to be fixed, I know how to do it, but saving/exporting is disabled. Free would be preferred, but money isn't really the problem so much as time.

I'm not sure at all what the right place to ask this is, but I really want to talk to someone who works (or has worked) as a ticket taker at a large (>10k seat) venue. If you're in the New York area, I'll take you out for a beer but if not, I'd really like to ask a bunch of questions by dm or skype, etc.

This is not a current ordeal I'm dealing with, but it just popped into my head and I'm curious about it. A while back I had my car stolen and when the police recovered it they took it to an impound that would not release my own severely hosed up car to me until I gave them something like $800. Was there any sort of loophole I could have exploited there? I find it hilarious that the solution to solving crime there is to further victimize victims.

I am not a lawyer, but I suspect your only recourse would be to seek civil damages against the person who stole your car. If you can't find them you're probably SOL. That being said, since civil doesn't require charges to be beyond reasonable doubt if you can find someone who probably stole your car you might be able to get damages, even if they can't actually be convicted. Of course I could be totally wrong on that.

You might get a judgement but good luck getting the money. You can safely presume that someone stealing cars doesn't give a gently caress about a judgement and doesn't have a reliable income stream to garnish.

2006-2007 Radio Sbovoda did a piece on a study done in the Israely army. Because so many people in every generation serve in the army the Israely army had a lot of information and had performed a statistical study of eye conditions, like shortsightedness, among their conscripts. I seem to remember one of the conclusions was that there was a correlation of pregnancies ocurring during the sunny months and conditions of the sight. My google-mojo has failed in English and in Russian, does anyone know anything more about the radio program or the study itself?

I think it generally depends upon whether your municipality has a government owned impound lot. If they don't, they got to put the car somewhere and I think it's safe to assume no one really wants their neighborhood streets lined with burned out cars waiting to be claimed by their owners. Most places do have laws about the maximum fees allowable for towing and impound, but I think they vary wildly from place to place.

In some cities when you report the theft to the police they attempt to call you if/when they find the vehicle. They give you so much time (30 minutes the last time it happened to me) to come get the vehicle before it's towed and you incur fees.
