The `rents are coming into town and the forecast looks a little sticky. As such, I'm turning on the A/C for the weekend which I normally don't often do. That made me wonder:

  2. My campus office is in a building constructed in the early 1920s that has steam radiators and hasn’t been retrofitted for central air. When I moved in, I requested my window A/C be removed. First, I don’t want Legionnaire’s disease. Second, the window unit would not permit me to open the window on nice days in the fall or spring, or on days when the steam heat is oppressive and I need relief. Third, I have a built-in excuse to work remotely on days where the heat or humidity is excessive and I don’t have a meeting on campus.

    1. If the radiator has not been modified since installation, then it's supposed to be used with an open window on the mildly cold days.

  3. If these aren't flops, just get rid of the rule.

      1. I think Chris Finch is a great coach, but man I wish he would have come up with more schemes to attack Luca's (lack of) defense than he did.

        I get Boston just may have the right players to this better than Minnesota but for someone who was by far the reason why the Twolves lost in 5 games going to main reason why Mavs going to lose finals makes me think of "What ifs."

        1. I haven't watched any of the finals, other than highlight clips, so I don't know if this applies... but what I saw of the playoffs really made me feel like success was very much about attrition. Denver had a (slightly) longer first round, and the Wolves jumped out on them. The Mavs had a much easier 2nd round, and the Wolves looked really tired against them. Boston had the Eastern Conference instead of the West, and even though it was only 5 games against the Wolves, that was a tough series for the Mavs.

          It just seems like whoever had the easier path has a significant advantage in the next round. Go figure, that's sporps.

    2. Man, remember when Rudy took an elbow to his broken ribs and they called the flop rule? Great product you're going for here, NBA.

  4. I don't think this was mentioned?

    1. Julien with a cool .125/.222/.281 in St. Paul so far. It's in eight games so I think he just made the minimum amount of time to be optioned but I doubt that performance will convince anyone.

      Wallner has done reasonably well in AAA, hitting .211/.306/.456, but that isn't amazing. Martin has been up and down so I'm not sure how to extract his AAA stats since his latest demotion.

      1. I added up game logs, so I could be off a little. But I make Martin, since his last demotion, to be .273/.452/.345.

      1. I open windows every night, even on days when it gets to 105 (just not until it drops below 78 or so, which might not be until after midnight on those hot ones).

        Luckily, we have a split system (units separately serving 1st and 2nd floors). Even on very hot days, our downstairs can stay below 78 or 79, which is tolerable with a ceiling fan. I try to keep the upstairs below 82. Because of the cathedral ceilings, that means the AC runs for several hours per day when it gets over 90-95 outside.

        1. We also have split units. And we also have something called "humidity". And in addition we have nights that don't drop below 78F, even if it doesn't hit 105F.

      2. September. Heh. Late October we might see some lows overnight without humidity that would warrant open windows. Late December we’ll still run the ac to dry out the apartment.

  6. Currently I’m in the isle of skye and it’s “summer” here. Balmy 54 for a high. Low 40s overnight. We might have a fire.

  7. In case you were wondering, Miguel Sano still doing Miguel Sano things, after being on IL since late April, his rehab was delayed....

    Sano made the third appearance of his rehab assignment, but his first since May 23 after being shut down for more than two weeks after burning his inflamed left knee with a heating pad.

  8. Four on Four hockey is so fun to watch. Too bad for Edmonton, but nice goal for the Panthers.
