I can’t help you understand thermodynamics other than this. The next time you have your thermostat set and its not cooling to your desired temp and your system is running on cool bury the thermostat to the lowest temperature setting and let me know how it works out for you.


We've covered all those ideas. This thread has turned into hopefully a babe thread.

The boozeless nog thread? If I'm drinking egg nog, there just has to be a payoff in it. My son in law loves just drinking it like a regular old beverage without booze, though.


I don't drink milk. Although a white russian daiquiri is pretty good.

Really? I've dealt with a few AC guys over the years and they all know about zones and such. I replaced both my AC units one year ago and we discussed all the concepts. He is a guy and I trust. I am not convinced I'll live here for the long haul so I wasn't ready for a major overhaul. Even in Houston my AC costs are not unreasonable with just a regular, non variable, non two stage, etc and other thhings they will sell. Sure some offered 20k+ for all the bells and whistles but my guy just put in some more modern units, top to bottom, no duct work and it was 14K complete. Not bad for a 4 ton and 5 ton unit.

How do some think an HVAC thermostat controls the temperature of the air blowing out?


Well you asked the question. T-Stats have a temp gauge. It blows on or off based on the temp set. Now some more soshpicticated systems have zone control with baffling than can control certain zones for more or less air.
I stopped half way through. When he asked her to say yes or no, her reasonably asked was what was the ramifications for each. I would think at that point he would have given the potential outcomes. He didn't. I don't deny she was probably drunk but LEO should be able to tell her what the ramification are.

’ve come across quite a few morons through the years who think the lower you set the thermostat the colder the air is coming out of the vents. Even after explaining that it’s basically an on/off switch, they don’t seem to get it. And they all stand firm, like that “wicked witch of the east was a princess bro“ guy.


Well the thermostat has a temperature gauge built in. This explanation might be too much for you so go find your mother and eats some crayons.

Look at a map. Where do you live?
You're probably right but if Alberta comes in, having BC might help. Otherwise we would still have California to the west.

How many pipelines do we having coming from Alberta into the US?
Why the downvotes?. BC with Alberta would shut off the northern exploration from CA. It would also give an option to pipeline the O&G to the Pacific Coast without going to Alaska. I'm no O&G guy but having another access to the coast doesn't seem outlandish to me.

British Columbia has a population of over 5.7 million people, with about 60% of residents having European descent and significant Asian and Indigenous minorities. The province is known for its diversity, with nearly 30% of the population being immigrants and a majority identifying as irreligious, followed by Christianity and Sikhism as the most practiced religions.


I can live with that.
NYNY is fricked. It will both be glorious to watch an a horror show to see.
