I could be wrong, but I think that’s called the Internet.

Um yeah, that's exactly how an ac works. I basically sealed off 2 rooms so now I have less volume to cool. I also fully opened the damper to my master bedroom while slightly closing others and my bedroom stays slightly cooler than the rest of the house. Please explain how what I'm currently doing isn't how an ac works. Also please explain what is the purpose of adjustable vents and dampers if not to adjust air flow. I bet you're one of those people (like most women) who thinks the lower you set the thermostat the faster it cools off the house.



Sure, I’ll entertain this. Let’s start with this, air conditioners are sized for the total conditioned square footage of the house—not for whatever rooms you decide to close off. The blower is designed to move a specific amount of air through the duct system that was balanced with the registers opened.

When you start closing registers, you aren’t magically making the system cool less space more efficiently. You’re increasing static pressure in the ductwork because the blower is trying to push the same volume of air through fewer openings. Higher static pressure means lower airflow across the evaporator coil, reduced efficiency, and more strain on the blower motor. Less airflow across the coils increases the likelihood of them icing over. Not to mention, if you have duct leaks (you do just like everyone) the increased pressure forces more conditioned air into the attic. So instead of cooling your rooms, you’re paying to cool off the attic.

The “less volume to cool” argument also ignores how thermostats work. When you create large temperature imbalances throughout the house, it will likely take longer for your thermostat to reach its set point due to heat coming through the walls from the closed off rooms. Adjustable registers are there to fine tune airflow not cut it off.

But what do I know? You do you.

I highly recommend closing the vents in the extra bedrooms and adjusting your dampers.


Yea…. That’s not how an AC works.

If you’re going for two… cut NSU and ULM. Let Tech take over the pharmacy program, shutter the rest. Then let Tech take over LSUS medical. Problem solved.

Last week the WSJ published an article by a journalist that did extensive research and interviews about MJ in the past. It is well known that he was a pedo according to her article and the Jackson family paid off numerous victims and victim families.


So I guess MJ was presidential material then.

Rendezvous is a cool atmosphere with mediocre food.

If you want real BBQ, go to Cozy Corner. Looks sketchy as hell, but that shite is delicious and they charge prohibition prices.

If you like a damned good breakfast go to Kinfolk.

Outside of that, what everyone else suggested to go do.

That sounds good in theory. But when you have a three year old that’s been sitting in the same spot on a plane for two hours waiting to take off and is 4 hours into a 5 hour flight, it won’t work. Why don’t you inconsiderate people wear noise canceling headphones since it’s such an issue for you. You know those exist right?


I have a 3 year old that’s flown with me a few times. She’s never even held a tablet. Never had an issue on flights because there are plenty of other activities that don’t disrupt everyone around you. You’re the inconsiderate one in this scenario. Stop letting an iPad babysit your kid and they won’t need a screen in their face 24/7.

So again this begs the question as to what you’re going to do with a toddler that’s been sitting for five hours on a plane and is getting restless. You see the signs that the kid is on the brink of a tantrum due to lack of sleep/entertainment to distract them. What do you do? Take them to the back of the plane and their arse?


Or, and try to keep up and hear me out, turn the fricking sound off. This isn’t difficult.

Any solution to this? It’s bull shite. Stuck in desktop mode on my iPhone. The only damned option when scrolling down is “dark mode”. Tried requesting mobile site and still get the same bs desktop view.

You suck.

It’s possible to be a decent person and do the simple task of returning the damn cart while also not leaving your kids/keeping them safe. There are several ways. Quit being lazy.
