The headline said “could,” so I’m going to assume the headline is clickbait and the price hike will in fact make it cheaper, or dare I say, free.

I’m surprised you haven’t found many people who meditate. There are a lot of people who follow abrabamic traditions on meditation (though they use a different word for it), and they can be found pretty much worldwide except for a few scattered spots.
I should caution you, though, the terminology used by these groups may seem quite foreign, but you’ll have to trust me – they meditate even if some of them don’t call it that.
Emphasis on the ‘terribly’, then.
The grow tent was mostly self-contained and humidity-controlled and monitored inside and out. It actually had to be indoors because of our short growing season, risk of germination from nearby industrial crops, and federal licensing requirements for the type of plant at the time. Regardless, the HVAC experts were here on-site and they could have opened their eyes to what I was telling them. There’s was no heat load calculation. They said “this is the unit we install for your type of house and it’s more than enough. Trust me, I’ve been doing this for…” etc. etc.
Of course condensers and evaporator coils work by pushing entropy around. I’m not sure what in my comment would have led you to believe I thought otherwise.
Short cycling would be a happy problem at this point. Over the past month the shortest cycle was on a 16 C day, when the A/C ran from 6:41am to 9:15am, and the longest were on those 32 C days when it started at roughly 7:45am and didn’t finish cooling until 5am the next day. You suggest that it won’t do anything on a hot day, but the temperature gradient indoors when the outside temperature is high is measurably lower when the system is cooling as compared to idle.
Maybe the HVAC guy was thinking I was just one of those same customers you’re complaining about. Nobody’s asking for a system ridiculously overpowered – Just properly powered. I understand the value of properly sizing a system. For instance, I know that a properly-sized furnace should run nonstop on the coldest day of the year. I also know that you don’t have an entire month’s worth of “coldest day of the year”
My house can be 60 degree warmer than the outside temperature in the winter, so I just have to point the blame somewhere when it can’t stay 10 degree cooler than the outside throughout summer. And yes, I know cooling is a lot more complex than heating, but I’m giving the A/C a 50 degree headstart.
…And that is why I think there should be a trial period for HVAC systems.
HVAC systems.
When my wife and I we had to replace our forced air furnace and central air system in the late autumn due to carbon monoxide literally the evening before our son was to be born, I felt under pressure to get something in place.
I told them I needed a more powerful air conditioner for all the unique heat-generating equipment in my basement, especially since our old system had trouble keeping up. They said that the new unit was more than enough for the square footage. I reiterated again, that air conditioners don’t cool square footage, they cool BTU’s, and the average home doesn’t have a grow op and server farm in the basement generating significant heat. Then, they decided to hit me with the old “I’ve been doing this for {x} decades” speech.
Needless to say, I’ve had to consolidate servers, stop indoor gardening, replace the bulbs in the house with those shitty blue-hued LED’s that can’t dim right (and dimmer switches to handle the change in load characteristics), take the weather into account when cooking indoors and clean both sets of A/C coils on a more frequent basis. The air conditioner still can’t keep up and when we have a string of hot days, we can’t always count on the cooler evenings to get the house back down to “room temperature”.
Oh, and now our old chimney drips water into the basement.
I eventually found what you were talking about after clicking on the suggested links in the article. The post here doesn’t mention anything about what you’re talking about but the links do here https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/bruxy-cavey-meeting-house-2022-sex-assault-charge-stayed-1.7271208 (near the end, when it mentions a “communications pastor”)
I’m sorry to hear about your experiences. Please report it to the police if you can.
Our satellite imagery of fires is pretty impressive. So impressive, that last week it told me that half my city was on fire when it turned out to be the off-gassing fire at the sewage treatment plant.
Did we read the same article?
I’m not so sure “dipped” is the right adjective from my “sporadic at best Cost of Living Adjustment less than the inflation rate” point of view.
This is a great list that could use expansion:
I’m not sure if you’re exercising hyperbole to emphasize your point, so I’ll take you at face value. The model is still in service as a fourth generation fighter. Particular jets may be antiques. Given that Canada waited a few years to procure them, I doubt any of the CF-18’s are as old as the original F-18’s.
You can call it an antique when it’s out of service and we’re on to 6th gen. Until then, it’s a perfectly reasonable assumption that a fleet us made up of current and next-gen models, or previous- and current-gen models if you’re miserly.
At what point does following this guy around in everything he does stop being considered as reporting and start being considered stalking?
Why, though? He’s doing so well at steering moderates towards the Liberals. Imagine how much worse it would be with someone actually suited for the role of PM?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Haters gonna hate.
Vegan-friendly here:
Revealed? Don’t worry – They’ll tell you who they are.
I don’t think the electorate determines who gets clearance, directly or indirectly.
I swear, the limit on edibles was brought to you by the sugar lobby.
You’d think they would have led with that if that were the case.
The provincial governments in charge of our single payor health care system made the conscious decision to keep the liquor marts open while banning in-person sales of tea kettles (and we call ourselves a commonwealth nation!) during a pandemic.
I think our single payor at least partially did this to themselves.
