every few years, less often now, I see an article that gets me excited about tramp, and I try it and immediately deadlock my whole emacs because the remote shell had an unexpected character in the prompt or something.
I tried this, and I have never had such flavorful lettuce! I'd been a little worried: Hydroponics has a reputation for (maybe?) producing flavorless vegetables. And certainly, I did have trouble growing some things. But those things I succeeded with (mostly lettuce), actually had tremendous flavor!
Hydroponics, being mostly based on water and sunlight, are unlikely to boost the nutrient profile as much as healthy soil, depending on what feed you add to the water.
I bet renting has something to do with it too.
I can't just start attaching awnings to the outside of this place I don't own.
The landlord doesn't care if I'm hot in the summer and cold in the winter. He doesn't pay the AC bill.
He might be paying the AC bill. In large buildings the heat and AC is central, and typically is included in the rent. The downside of this is that the decision to run AC or heat is made by the building engineer, and during the change of seasons there might be a warm (or cold) day and the AC (or heat) isn't running.
You can buy portable heaters and air conditioners, plug them in inside your own apartment, and pay the power bill. The AC needs a way to exchange air with the outside but that can be accommodated with a window.
Two hose is better but not perfect. The problem is the compressor body is still inside and shedding some of it's heat inside the cooling area. If your need is temporary, the inefficiency is acceptable - otherwise go with a mini split.
Mini split is better if you can install it and don’t want to install a central AC for whatever reason. I don’t think you can usually install a mini split in a rental though.
Window AC units are preferable to two hose because the compressor side hangs outside the window (and can drip the condensed water) but sometimes you don’t have double hung windows or your landlord doesn’t allow window AC units.
Both should go outside. One should take in outside air to blow over the coils and the other to return that air back outside with the extra heat from inside. All movement of inside air should be over the other side of the condenser and not go outside or come from outside
I’m aware of this. But I lived in apartments without central AC for years, and for various reasons was unable to install a window unit. A portable AC is still significantly better than no AC at all.
_Sports_ is not some basic fact, moral good in the world. It's just games. If you want to argue against something you need to find some other reason than it's inconvenient to professional sports.
I will almost always ignore the box/take-off. I pile stuff up by my office door that needs to go out to the garage. That spot always has tools piled up. A tote probably would help.
Also, there's design trick to make things look better. If you put 3 or 4 things onto a dish or textile or something, they magically convert from clutter to intentional. I don't know if a plastic sterlite works for this though.
