    Static load is static load. Whether it occurs over the course of one week, or 1/2 hour at a time once a day for the next however long makes no difference on the fatigue of the structural members. but it won’t fatigue at all unless your house wasn’t built for the correct load anyway, in which case you were fucked regardless. if the squeak truly is new my guess is a weeks worth of humidity made something swell.

    Had a tripping shirtless homeless dude jump in the back of my truck after shoulder checking my mirror while I pulled past him at 6th and 35 this afternoon. He used the time to try to negotiate something that I was not able to discern. That was a fun experience on the commute home.

    Most if not all have warming coils in them now to prevent freezing. Either drip inside to keep water moving or cut water to the unit and drain. Usually easier to drip inside with where the shut off valves are located. Also the yellow gas line don’t need no stinking insulation.

    Heat tape inside a wall? Are you trying to burn down his house? Because this is how you burn down his house.

    Do you even VRF bro?

    The problem was not the heat pump. The problem is how they sized it. They didn’t expect a load of that size. Read your contract with your HVAC company. They generally guarantee a 20 degree delta from the normal exterior temp. That’s it. In Texas they oversize ACs because they don’t want a callback cause your wife can’t see icicles on the countertop in July. The entire world uses heat pumps. The Pacific Northwest is not some special climate where the technology fails.

    Looks like Signs up in this bitch with random containers of water on n our countertop. My wife is pregnant and I haven’t run out of alcohol, so not fighting that battle yet.

    Anything to do with manufacturing that touched defense was deemed essential.

    What is alarming is the number of fireworks stands open on 290. Seems like a bad idea, but what do I know.

    Thanks for bumping the thread. This makes so much more sense.

    Why did we extend that dude when he basically got no time this year when our defense barely had a pulse? I hear he’s a great locker room guy but we just need better players across the board. This makes no sense to me.

    Goddamn. I wonder if that motherfucker enjoys being a piece of shit.

    I mean I wasn’t impressed..but he’s not our biggest issue. Hope there are more changes coming.

    I always just ask the question. If you phrase it “Hey, this is a weird valve compared to most we looked at. Did you know they have a short video on their website for install?” it usually lands the right way. Ditto for measuring and such. Everyone makes mistakes, more eyes helps.

    Shouldn’t this include churros for accuracy?

    Dest was a defensive liability all game. It is the manager’s job to do something tactically to help him defensively. Letting him just get exposed all game is 100% on Greg. No adjustments is just par for the course though.

    This helps people buy their first house in Austin instead of the burbs. They’ll be small and yet still in line with typical Austin prices. It’s not for poor people. That ship has sailed in this city. I had friends buy a townhouse just outside uptown Dallas a decade ago when they got out of school. It functioned as their starter house. This is the same thing.

    Competency. Interesting word to describe an army that can’t win a defensive battle when dug in with a numerical advantage.

    I turned on the last 10 minutes to watch some truly pathetic soccer.

    I was thinking all of this is also reflective of a lack of free/down time for the average person as well. Hard to have peer to peer interactions if you don’t actually see them very often due to work/kids/whatever.

    Hope Bruin is ok. Tons of blood, and was obviously heavily concussed.

    @cactusflinthead wait until after 1st rain to add compost? Or try to beat it? In Austin.

    It boggles the mind why someone hasn’t taken a .300 Win mag to the transformer located closest to these fucking things. It’s going to happen sooner or later once people get no lubed enough.
