It was nice.

The biggest problem when trying to talk people out of the FYGM mindset is undoing the last 30 years of "The rich are your friend!" mindset that's been ingrained into everyone. The right has been extremely good at getting this message across over the past few decades, and it's no surprise. America LOVES it some Protestant work ethic. If you're not busting your rear end, you don't deserve success right?

I will never understand people who willingly screw themselves over for "The good of the company" though. The company sees you as expendable, and the loving nanosecond you can't make them money anymore, you're out the door. Doesn't matter how good you are with the boss, you're still just a replaceable cog in the machine. How to effectively break this mindset is a tricky one though, and I don't have all the answers. Trying to make people feel good about the work they do, and trying to get them to realize it has value helps though.

At some point the President is going to have to try and deny that there's a tape of him getting pissed on by Russian hookers.

Why worry? We both live in Orlando right? We'll be turned into radioactive dust long before we have to deal with any consequences of that war.

It's the same in the southern U.S.

And most techs that I've met are woefully undereducated.

There's a reason why there's a million and one AC companies down here in Florida. I said I can confirm that most texts are dumb as poo poo.

And I work in commercial and residential is even worse.

I went to a Kmart in 2017:

The automatic door got jammed after opening 1/4 of the way. Even the building doesn't want me shopping here.

And the entire store is deserted. Like, there not even any employees here.

Oh cool! Mac/Windows chat! Hey what do you all think of HOA's? I live in one and it's actually not bad. $200 a year gets me irrigation water for my yard and the organization is all volunteer from neighbors and pretty chill. Also in 10+ years since the inception of the hood the annual fee has not increased one dime.


Looks like Christmas in January! :sassargh:

I dunno. Toorak is a pretty ballin suburb and I'd live there.

HOAs are good, but conversly, HOAs are bad. Therefore, suburbia is a land of contrasts.

That's is a very goid system, but I see one very critical flaw in your plan:

You have to order, and presumibly eat, a pizza from Papa Johns :barf:

Pizza Hut is ok. For the most part their crust is wayyyyy too greasy though. Dominos has gotten a lot better, and I really like their buffalo chicken pizza. But Papa Johns is the worst. Bland Pizza and then you get through to the utter wasteland of flavor that is the crust. And even dunking it in that garlic flavored oil they give you doesn't help.

One good thing I can say about Orlando is that is we have an abundance of pizza places to get some really fantastic pizza at around here. If anyone around here likes to go to Winter Park, Prato on Park Ave. has some really great coal fired pizzas.

Urrrgh.... So the AC threads in the archives, because obviously its a frozen wasteland in most of the places you lot live, but downunder its loving horrible at the moment and of COURSE the better halfs AC decides to take a poo poo right about now.


Its a 2007 Nissan Tiida (aka the versa) but with a 1.8 twincam and 6 speed manual. Got a weird failure mode- Turn the AC on with the engine idling, pressures are just about perfect and the AC cools down. Doesnt get as cold as it should for having good pressures but will pump 10 deg C air out on a 35 degree day.

Apply ANY throttle at all and the compressor starts to cut out, then cut back in, but as soon as it kicks back in it jumps to 350-400psi and kicks back out again as the high pressure shutoff does its thing.

Any ideas what the hell is wrong with it? The missus is starting to get a bit over having a car thats hotter inside than it is outside.

Sounds like it might either have a restriction, or it's not getting enough air across the condenser. What's the low side doing when it fires up with the throttle. And have you made sure all the fans are running while it's on?
