Unfortunately, I could not find a dual-hose unit off-the-shelf in any of the local stores and didn't have any hopes of getting it in time if I ordered it online.

I had single-hose both when I lived in USA and now, and didn't have any issues with it cooling down the room I wanted to have cooled down. My bar is "survival of my pets" because r…

I just moved to Portugal and had zero issues installing a portable unit to help me survive the heatwave. For the hinged windows you just grab an installation kit that works with th…

Pretty bad that there is no option of "I don't know". A couple of times I tried to guess the wrong word on purpose when I knew I had no clue what the word meant and accidentally go…

> But if you want to generate power, you need to get down to where temperatures can boil water. Why is that the case? Can't you go down to where it's like 70-80 deg C and close the…

From TFA: The predominance of these idioms as a way to zero out a register led Intel to add special xor r, r-detection and sub r, r-detection in the instruction decoding front-end …

AFAIK it's the same in the USA, that's why one of the first questions when interviewing with a company is to ask them about their moonlighting policy if you do want to work on a si…

There's no extension support for Chrome on Android. There's no way to stop Chrome on Android from hiding the address bar when scrolling. Those were mine, not sure if they still app…

But you are specifying source files, although indirectly, aren't you? That's what all those `mod blah` with a corresponding `blah.rs` file present in the correct location are.

My wife started with wearing one mould for 7 days and went down to one mould for 4 days near the end of the treatment (but the orthodontist knew we wanted to move and may have acce…

Cereal is literally grass seeds so you may need to find a different analogy.

I'm in the camp of liking Windows and having had to put up with Linux and MacOS for work. Inertia and familiarity does play a role, but as a dev there are things I really like (ETW…

> Seen from within the meeting, it does not really matter if you start 5 minutes late or end 5 minutes early. It matters because there sometimes are meeting where it is very import…

I'd rather have a 5-minute break built-in for everyone by starting 5-past and actually enforce meeting end-times. Behaviors would change if people knew they had 25 or 55 minutes fo…

> In what way do you think it worked as intended? If I recall correctly, just my base was 20-30% higher than the prevailing wage that the government publishes (big tech bubble peop…

For reference, I was an H-1B holder. My starting salary (straight out of college after finishing my master's) in one of the big tech companies was $95k base pay, this was 13 years …
