This guy has serious talent.....
ExiledInIllinois replied to Patrick Duffy's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Just reading the comments... Priceless. I do say it is pretty cool... But how practical, all that effort spent. I hope the film crew gave him a sandwich. Some of the notable comments: "bacteria, flood, etc." "I agree , besides some people in this world need to give their immune systems a work out." "I don't think you understand the meaning of innovation. While this is cool, it's unpractical and a huge waste of time & energy. Building this takes way too much effort, for something that won't even last a month. While he could've used all that energy to build infrastructure to his village, he chose to do low IQ mud hut building that any mogoloid with an IQ of 60 can build. Way to celebrate literally nothing." "I sure hope you tested for Radon gas." This comment is a bit out there: "This puts all builders to shame, this guy is amazing, I’d be happy to pay him to build my house." REPLY TO ABOVE COMMENT: "Do you wanna make stuff that looks good for 2 days or stuff that has to last at least 30 years ? You want a pool great huge part of the pool is to have a water filtration system that works so the stagnant water does not turn in to a green pond. You want a basement it needs to be structurally safe surrounded with aggregate around walls needs hydro insulation so you dont get a metric ass ton of mold and a foundation that will be abel to hold the heavy walls and the house above them with out breaking. You stike me as the kind of person that would not know how to find a good builder to save your life ..... would mannage the builder poorly and be pissed with the resaults for the rest of you life." ? God love thev internet! -
At What Temps Do You Set Your Thermostat
ExiledInIllinois replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall Archives
You can still have A/C... Central compressor... And individual coils for each room. There is a fan blowing over the coils in each room. -

At What Temps Do You Set Your Thermostat
ExiledInIllinois replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I wear shorts & tees in the dead of winter. The mail lady saw me yesterday wearing pants. She was shocked. LoL. I have been known to shovel in shorts. That is mandatory though. Gloves, half the time I don't need them unless it starts getting into the 20°s or lower and I am out for extended time doing nothing... Like watching a useless Bills game. Then I will bundle up. LoL... I am so screwed and ill prepared for hot weather. -

At What Temps Do You Set Your Thermostat
ExiledInIllinois replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Wow... This only points to one thing. Energy consumption over comfort. It can't be for comfort. You like a 15° difference between seasons. If one liked it cold... How can one like it so damn warm. ??? I am just messing with you... ? -

I wonder how the new GOP tax law will have an affect on this? Can't claim squat now.

Hot for Teacher: Barstow - You Would Not
ExiledInIllinois replied to ocemur's topic in Off the Wall Archives
LoL... I did too. There should be some kind of re-education camp for us. I will see you there when school opens up in June. I hope they give us doing some great physical activity... Like building trails or firefighting out west. Do you like to jump out of planes? Hope they give us a chute! /smh... I take full responsibility for my transgression. -

Hey... Be thankful. Better than 1800s & early 1900s Cali: What carp problem? Write your CongressCritter and tell them to stop the Carp Boondoggle, Trump can then re-appropriate the money for the Southern Wall. A real Boondoggle. LoL. Some that I work with like being deployed to warm climates. -

Read my link about warm feet, faster sleep, above. Radiant baseboard, floor heat is sweet. Old way of doing things. Forced air blows. -

ExiledInIllinois replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall Archives
One burns more brown fat (belly fat), leading to better weight maintenance and better sleep at colder temps. https://www.chilitechnology.com/blogs/chili-technology-blog/sleeping-cold-burns-more-belly-fat Also... A 200# man will burn about 100kcal an hour sleeping. 75kcal if awake and watching TV. Oh... And don't forget the socks: https://www.healthline.com/health/sleeping-with-socks-on#takeaway And now you know, the rest of the story. And tsunami sirens. No. It's warmer in my house in summer than when I heat in winter. ? -
selling my house next year. Moving out of state
ExiledInIllinois replied to mead107's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Again... Think it's bad now. Look at the pictures from the 1800s... When things were a free-for-all. Be thankful. It's only worse if you think you can do better and think conservatively. You want more people pouring into California? More industrial development? Less environmental regulations? I agree with you with the wildfires. Less environmental regulation would bring an economic value back to the forest floor... Enable to clear the undergrowth like they did up to 30 years ago. BUT, THAT can be done in a sane way. Though... Too many unintended consequences if we really return to the conservatism you want. It's been tried your way. -

ExiledInIllinois replied to mead107's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Notice trees are still standing and growing? What's burned? If conservatives had their way, twice as many houses would be on that footprint. Honestly, nothing is really fugged up about that picture except stupid humans living in the wrong location. -

All those people... Pouring in to state since the mid-1800s. Just imagine the environment if they didn't put restrictions on... Regulate evertyhing. Everybody always thinks they have better answers. The land would look like this if conservatives had their way: -
At What Temps Do You Set Your Thermostat
ExiledInIllinois replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall Archives
67° But when it gets real cold out, like during the (30°)F Polar Vortex... You should set your T-Stat 3-5°F WARMER in order to keep up. I set mine then to 72°F. Summer is set to 73°-75°F to cool. So... My house is colder in winter. One time my mother was complaining at the Doctor's office that it was too cold with the A/C... That's the line they used on her! "It's warmer in here now than when we heat in winter!" LoL... -

Watch that video of: Misirlou and the Del Tones are hanging back, especically for that era, probably saying: "WTF are we supposed to do and how do we keep up?" Just jump on the big board and enjoy the ride, do the best you can behind the Big Kahuna!
