If you plan to use a portable generator in case the power is out, remember that carbon monoxide will kill you.

20 people died in the Texas winter storm 5 years ago due to carbon monoxide poisoning (out of the 246 total deaths).

Don't be stupid and follow these rules safeelectricity.org

Differential signals over twisted pair is still the best EMI hedge.

I've always wondered if the Catholic tradition of keeping relics from the bodies of Saints influenced it's position on organ donation.

Just one of those curiosities.

Warcraft 2 stats for the ballista

I was today old when I learned that the ballista can hit one square farther than it can see. All you have to do is order it to "Attack Ground".

Make sure you cancel the attack when done though, or it will just keep firing.

Delchi was a giant of a man in so many ways. It’s easy to forget that he was a legend in the DJ world, a master craftsman, an artist, an engineer, a pioneer and a hacker in the truest sense of the word.

His light was so bright that everything seems a little darker now.

I will miss you Brother.

We lost our elder cat a few years ago, and it was rough. I sympathize, especially with everything you're going through. He looks like a terrifying force of darkness, remember those times.

Researchers pointed a satellite dish at the sky for 3 years and monitored what unencrypted data it picked up. The results were shocking: They obtained thousands of T-Mobile users' phone calls and texts, military and law enforcement secrets, much more: www.wired.com/story/satell... 🧵👇

Run fan only to maintain an even temperature in 2 level house Hi, is it possible to setup Nest to run the fan periodically to even out temperature  between levels? I have 2 story home with the thermostat on the main level and an additional sensors downstairs. Na...

The Google Nest community consistently asks for this capability, basically a fan that runs when there is a significant temp difference to mix the air.

You make an intake in basement or first floor, which many basements already have, which feeds the supply to the rest of the house. The idea is that surrounded by earth the basement keeps a consistent temp, so it's always either cooling or heating the air down there.

Air, based on diagram, moves.

This is central AC with an additional sensor and better control.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
