    As someone who owned a car without AC for several summers, I'd say you're incorrect on that assumption. In fact, this is something you can try in the summer time with any car with AC. After a hot day in the sun, go drive around without the AC on and just the fans on and windows down. How do you feel? Then kick on the AC (leaving the driver's window down, stimulating running a route delivering to mailboxes.). You're telling me there is NO difference in feel without cool air blowing at your body?

    I'm not putting the calculations of how many more dinosaurs will be used to in this, I'm merely focusing on the carrier being a little more comfortable during their drive.

    There is a small relief provided by blowing the cooled dehumidified air over the warm sweating body using the dash vents. This would give the person a chance for their body to better perform the evaporative cooling process even if the cabin can't stay at a constant lower temperature. I'd argue doing something to help with the comfort of the carrier is better than a vehicle without AC - and understandable it's worse for the environment because of the waste heat generated in the process.

    Too much amperage for a circuit is fine, for a battery is not. A circuit will present a known resistance and draw what is needed for a specific voltage. The batteries' resistance will be very low at empty and change over the course of charge, and certain chemistries can be damaged over 1C.

    Just read a review on Amazon today about a newer brother printer that they've instituted a lock out on toner. Was telling a colleague that they were decent enough to not do that... But then I ate my words

    I could understand if you were buying a pay-as-you-go phone on the cheap... but this is an iPhone you're talking about. What's the minimum, $799? I think they can afford to toss a cable your way if you need one.

    You're right. It's not that someone can't admit they're wrong, is that they'd rather double down because they think others are wrong and that makes the feel good in their brain happen.

    I never knew Microsoft even had support. Was part of a very large (worldwide) enterprise and remember the other teams complaining about lack of anything when trying to escalate issues.

    I had a Lexus ES350 that had a melting dash, and the recall for it has ended a year prior to me having the issue. Essentially the dash was engineered to be easier to recycle/break down - but inadvertently had a lifetime limitation to it. The rest of the car was in decent enough shape and didn't give me any real problems. There were alternate solutions to fixing the dash, but once you start talking 200000 miles on a chassis - you're gonna start replacing things. Touched surfaces start breaking down; things with less robust parts (cd player) start having issues etc. Overall the entire package just starts looking tired, and replacing the whole thing looks more attractive than trying to find parts for a fifteen year old car. Perhaps modularization in the future can help. For instance I wouldn't have minded replacing the audio system in the car - but it was very much a specialized installation that wasn't a standardized "double din" setup. Also trying to find basic comforts like replacement seat cushions or leather to match gets tricky after the manufacturer stops keeping stock.

  • Just a few tips for installing on a Sophos SG135 (and perhaps others in the Sophos family?) using the serial build via usb 1. Sophos device starts at 38400,n,8,1 as com settings. OPNsense switches to 115200 after bios. If you set your session to 115200 prior to OPNsense taking over, this causes PuTTY to not be able to input keyboard characters until you kill and re-open the session. Something happens in the transition on either serial interface to cause problems. 2. Perform the auto detection of interfaces. For some reason I got screwed up on the interfaces and couldn't for the life of me get LAN to come up to configure the box. I believe this was twofold: one, the interfaces were all down when I configured them - and two, that caused them to go into a state to where even if 'ifconfig' showed active as I moved my cabling around, pings would not work (LAN). Once I redid the usb live and utilized the auto detection feature properly, no issues occurred. Hope this helps someone who may run into similar issues.
