Re: The Meme Thread

One thing my HVAC guy told me is to not spend money on expensive filters and to just buy the cheap ones. Apparently it doesn't make a difference? Do you have a take on that? Not my area of expertise. Although I have read something similar, the guy who installed my first new system back in 2001 told...

Re: The Meme Thread

Those are filters for oil burners? If so, my one and only story is that I once asked my oil burner person to look at mine to tell me if it needed replacing. He looked at it and said, "No. You must run a clean house." I told him, No, that is far from the case. Now that I went mini-splits last Decemb...

Re: The Meme Thread

Lol yup! That reminds me that I should probably check my filters! You do realize that you’re inviting Vinny to tell you how he buys 300 filters at once and how he organizes them, right? O0 I will say I change mine religiously. EDIT: uh, I have no idea how your post above changed to being authored b...

Re: Elizabeth Holmes

She duped some high-powered people with her claims, Henry Kissinger and Rupert Murdoch among them. She fooled a lot of people. Or at least, she had a lot of people onboard whom she lied to and who took her at her word. Because if you’re not a scientist yourself, how can you even check? I guess they...

Re: Your favorite charity?

That's the neat thing about the switch from global warming to climate change: literally anything can be used to "prove" that it's happening! I have an idea. Let's just build a giant air conditioner that will cool the whole atmosphere and vent the heat into space! O0 https://youtu.be/1e0vrPOFHUQ WOAH.

Re: Your favorite charity?

My favourite charity is going into a grocery store, buying food, and then personally handing it to the person in need on the street.

No money wasted on a charity's "administrative" expenses and I also know exactly where the money is going.
