I realized I now officially have strong feelings about the thermostat.

Jonathan Cheshire retired the only man he faced as Escogido lost to Estrellas 5-2. Cheshire is 2-0, 1.29, 0.57 WHIP with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts in 7 innings (11 games). His Escogido team is in first place in the Dominican League, leading the Toros by one game.
The Wild are now 3-0 in games without a WGOM game log this season.
So, I guess I should just get out of their way.
Our 30-year-old A/C crapped out the week of the 4th of July, so it was a good time to replace the late-Seventies Honeywell Chronotherm thermostat. (The HVAC guy said, "Oh wow! I haven't seen one of these in a long time! They were top-of-the-line in their day.") We upgraded to a programmable, non-smart/IoT model by Aprilaire. I haven't heard a peep about the programs I set up, and I haven't come home to the thermostat cranked up to 78º, so I think it's working.
You'll have a pleasant surprise when you see your bills, too.
yeah, i definitely want a programmable thermostat again, non-IoT division.
We have a Nest in the new house. I have not hooked it back up to the Internet. So it is "smart" but not spy-ey.
In H'istan, we have our thermostat programmed so that the house is:
morning 68
afternoon 62
evening 68
sleep 62
We have an oil-heated boiler (not that old), but I often wonder if it spends more energy in 'catching up' than if we just left it at a constant 68 all the time.
We have our programmables (upstairs and downstairs) set at 60 now for heat and 81 for cooling.
🤷♂️
We have hot water radiators, and no AC. We just have the thermostat set at 65. I' not sure how much a programmable would save us.
i just realized the main aggressor from the recent football game was in my fantasy lineup. guessing i can go ahead and drop him. only got me 1 point too.
Something something NFL anabolic steroids PEDs.
The weather here in Charleston? I channelled Caddyshack Bill Murray: "I don't think the heavy stuff is coming for quite a while."
gophs goofed.
wolves woofed. need the vikings to do something tomorrow to avoid an embarrassment this weekend in minnesota sports.
Hahahaha, noooooooope
Yeeeeep
Yeah, I know which half you watched.
Heh, I did catch back up on it with about five to ten minutes left.
Cousins really pulled it off with some help from Diggs and Trae Waynes.
Not what they were looking for, but if they play well the rest of the season, a close road loss to a ranked opponent isn’t something to hang your head about. It seems to me that the hard thing as a non-established team in a power conference is to gradually build on success. Based on margin of victory, etc, they have been punching above their weight—have to translate that into year over year improvement if they want to have a special season here or there.
Obligatory mention that FBS football has absolutely the dumbest competition format ever. E.g. yesterday I heard pundits wondering aloud if the Tua injury hurts Alabama in the rankings—which obviously would not be a consideration if the title was decided on the field instead of making it a political thriller. I don’t know why it frustrates me so much, it just seems so obvious they could improve it.
An Astros front-office executive wrote about the team’s desire to steal signs in an August 2017 email that was obtained by The Athletic. As the club discussed its advance scouting plans ahead of the playoffs, the executive asked the team’s scouts to pursue sign stealing from the stands, and suggested cameras could be used to do so.
“What we are looking for is how much we can see, how we would log things, if we need cameras/binoculars, etc. So go to game, see what you can (or can’t) do and report back your findings.”
If it turns out that the FO was the primary driver behind the idea, I am a little more sympathetic to Hinch. There aren’t many managerial jobs and while it is not admirable, I think it’s human to go along with orders, even if they are unethical.
Shooting last night near the U. My son was way too close to it. It's getting scarier around that area. We are at the U to check on him.
Ugh. Hope he's doing okay with it.
He was so close to wrong place wrong time. Cant really say more as the case is open. He is safe and ok, but pretty shooken up.
