Building HVAC engineering (equipment sizing, ducting design, etc.) has been largely handwavy bullshit for a very long time and only recently has moved towards any sort of precision. Not uncommon to find boiler plants that are 3-4 times the maximum heating load in the winter, or fans running at 100% 24/7 when code only requires half of that.

Costs just get passed on to tenants so there was never much motivation to do better, the only reason building owners are moving now is because of government regulation and incentive programs.

There is a reasonable expectation of privacy though. It’s the cameras that make it illegal, not the drone intruding in the first place

Secretly? My Type by Saweetie. Trashiest lyrics you’ve ever heard but it really helps energize me in the mornings

The fact they chose Kevin Hart to play Roland shows how little they care about the games themselves

How would block chain prevent a Chinese supplier from lying about where their bauxite shipments come from? The whole crypto space has shown that scams and fraud aren’t made any less prevalent when block chains are involved

Maduro is a horrible piece of shit who would have easily lost to Guaido in a free and fair election, no US backing required

The old cable supplies 15V, which would fry your shaver that is expecting 5V

Virtue signalling at its worst. It’s completely meaningless.

Are you sure about that?

As someone living in Ontario I’m forever grateful for Kijiji

Your arm’s off!

My first exposure to porn was through sprays in TF2. Kids are gonna see this shit regardless of how much you invade everyone else’s privacy

Say what you will about the writing, but I would have paid double just to see that level of CGI fidelity. My jaw was on the floor for so long my mouth got dry

In my mind if you leave balloons after your party is over, you don’t want them. I would have just popped them all and tossed them in the bin

TikTok and YouTube shorts are brain-rotting garbage, and if you use them regularly you need to stop now. Yes, even if you claim you only watch educational stuff.

Also giving a child under the age of 8 or 9 a personal internet-connected device should be seen on a similar level as neglect if not full-on abuse.

Yeah this tracks

I found my completed but unsubmitted NDA form from my last job under a stack of papers after I left. HR just forgot to ask me for it and I forgot it existed
