Reply to comment by [deleted] in What are the *specific* benefits we can anticipate from the wind farms off the coast? by 3kool5you
I prefer to let the experts who've dedicated their lives to studying the issue do the research. They know more than I do about it. It would be extremely arrogant of me to think that I can do a better job than they can.
How about you open your eyes and realize how much wind power is already deployed around the world. We're not guessing about an uncertain future here. We've been doing this for a while now, we know it works.
> wind power is not stable
Do you actually think that you're the only person who knows this? Do you honestly believe that you're blowing the lid off this whole operation with your Nostradamus-like prediction that sometimes the wind stops?
Yes, we know that. We fucking obviously know that. You aren't smart for pointing it out. Did it ever occur to you that the people who have spent decades working with this technology have also been living on the same fucking Earth you live on? That maybe, just maybe, they know what the fucking wind is? And that, because they know this, they also account for it when designing these systems? No, it didn't enter your head at all, because your head is fucking empty.
> and not cost effective
Yes, power companies are definitely in the business of spending billions of dollars on things that aren't cost effective, idiot.

Stop spreading these stupid lies. Wind farms work in Canada, they can work here. They froze in Texas because they decided to gamble on saving money by not winterizing. They lost.
As for stopping when the wind stops, wow, you're so smart! I bet the people who've been doing this for decades never thought of that, thank goodness you came along. No way they know something you don't.

OP needs to give proof of donation or recycling in order to get a refund. I don't think a note from someone on facebook is going to cut it.

When can I start checking my refund status?
- 4 weeks or more after you file electronically;
- At least 12 weeks after you mail your return;
- 15 weeks or more for additional processing requirements or paper returns sent by certified mail.

lmao your guy didn't even proofread his own lease document. rent security is 46:8-19. the law at 48:6-19 is about building bridges over canals.

True, but also I'm fine with it. If that's how they're gonna be, they shouldn't have a pet.

Back when I had a cat, I never used grocery bags in the first place. Too many already had holes in the bottom by the time I got them home.

Reply to comment by ansky201 in FYI: Free or nearly free smart thermostats from NJ Power companies by carne__asada
I have hot water radiators, which are much slower than steam. The hot water is 70 degrees cooler than steam, and it takes longer to heat up all the water circulating through the system, which in turn has to heat up the radiators before they start heating the house, than it takes for steam to start heating up the radiators.
I'll grant you 8 degrees is an exception -- mostly when a warm-ish day where the system hasn't had to run very much turns to a very cold and very windy night. But a 4-5 degree swing is very typical and definitely noticeable, especially when trying to sleep through the "too hot" part of the swing.

Reply to comment by waukeecla in FYI: Free or nearly free smart thermostats from NJ Power companies by carne__asada
I have radiators. Simple thermostats suck because of the lag in the system. Let's say it stops calling for heat at 68F. Well, the radiators are still hot so even though the system's off, the temp will rise to about 72F. Then when the house gradually cools down to 67F it will call for heat, but the radiators are cold and need time to warm up. So it will keep dropping to 66...65...64... result is a you get an 8 degree swing through the day, which is pretty uncomfortable.
The smart thermostat "learns" the lag and keeps my house within 2-3 degrees all day. Plus my heating doesn't have "zones" so I can use the thermostat's remote sensors to tell it to keep the poorly insulated bedroom at a comfortable temp during the night and ignore the rest of the house, and vice-versa during the day.
The remote features are nice conveniences IMO (like turning the heat up early if I'm coming home from work, so it can come up to temp by the time I get home), but that's what got me to buy one.

Nice, not a snake person myself but I appreciate unusual pets. I had rats a while back, adorable little critters that most people think are gross or scary, so I get it.

Who gives a shit what your memory is? You're one person in one part of a whole fucking state pretending like they can speak for everyone else. No wonder you had a bad time in school, you don't know how to shut up and listen, and you don't know how a damn thing works because of it.

I moved here over a decade ago. When service is fast it's fine, but it's pretty annoying to have to wait for someone else to do a simple task that I've been doing for myself - along with the rest of the country - since I was a teenager.

A subreddit with near half a million subscribers isn't, it turns out, a hivemind. Also, "shh stop telling people how nice it is" is usually a joke.
