- Comment on how do plants in a green house get enough co2? 5 hours ago:
Plants don’t actually use up all that much CO2. An entire greenhouse worth of plants wouldn’t even consume as much CO2 as your body produces. Most oxygen produced on earth and CO2 consumed is done by algae. Land plants like trees can sequester more CO2 because they grow larger and use it to build their bodies but they do so slowly over the course of years.
So I guess plants don’t suffocate in greenhouses for the same reason that you wouldn’t if you sat around in a greenhouse. There is enough air infiltration through cracks and gaps in the walls that sufficient air gets exchanged to keep it breathable.

- Comment on How would I make a HVAC simulator to see what a thermostat would do if the indoor temp was 400°F 1 week ago:
HVAC-R tech here.
Not sure what you mean about simulating high temps on the thermostat. If you want to trick the thermostat into seeing a higher temp than it is actually at then you would need to find the temp sensor on the thermostat (usually a thermistor) and replace it with something where you can manually control the input like a potentiometer if there was a thermistor there.
If you’re talking about simulating calls from your thermostat to your hvac system, then you can usually do that with just some jumper wires if your hvac system has a built in transformer (almost all new systems do). You just remove the thermostat and jumper the hot wire (R or Rc) to whatever call you want to make.

heat pumps don’t actually create heat
🤓 ACKSHUALLY
Heat pumps create a fair bit of heat due to friction and electrical resistance in the compressor.

That still requires a turbine to turn the steam into electricity. If turbines are the shortage then nuclear doesn’t solve the shortage.

I was actually tier 3 support. I just also happened to be the sole support for one specific area which meant even low level tickets from there got automatically directed to me.
Earlier hyperbole aside, I honestly fuckin love my job now. If I didn’t rely on having an income, I would still be doing this for free. But working a desk job drove me nuts. I’m sure it’s great for a lot of people but I just can’t do it.

The trades can attract fairly diverse people because you don’t have to fit into an office. Generally you’re just given your work and you’re expected to do it. Welders especially can easily be specialized enough that they can’t really be micromanaged.

As a current tradesman who is regularly burned, electrocuted, and cut on the job while rolling around in filthy crawl spaces, dragging 100 lb of gear up a ladder onto scorching rooftops, or freezing inside walk in deep freezers… working in IT was way worse.
I would sooner stick my tongue in a 480V panel than have to go back to answering “printer don’t work” tickets.
- Comment on How can I store a used water filter canister? 2 months ago:
If microbes are the concern then A UV system is going to be a whole lot cheaper in the long run. The UV bulbs in those are usually rated for 1 year of continuous use and if you only run it when there is a boil warning then it’ll last much longer than that. It looks like one of those will run you right about $100 which pays for itself pretty quick when compared to the cost of the more expensive filters.

- Comment on A conundrum 2 months ago:
My actual mortgage payment is probably just under $500. Taxes and insurance just put it at about $1000. I bought a nearly crack den quality fixer upper about 6 years ago in a moderately low COL area. In the truely low COL areas I imagine you might still be able to manage the same pricing today. It’s probably doable, just not anywhere most people want to live or with a house that doesn’t have a bunch of issues.

Pretty cool device.
That’s the exact reason I snagged it as soon as I saw it in the scrap pile with no idea what I would ever use it for. Aparently they work really well but I’ve never had the opporitunity to work on a machine with one installed.

Inside the ice machine it pulls in air from near the ice making sheet, runs it across the bulb, and spits the air back out above the water distribution bar above the ice making sheet. Similar devices from other manufacturers will pull the air from all the way down in the ice bin to circulate it inside the bin as well.
As far as it being an enclosed space, ice machines are fairly sealed but are frequently opened to access the ice in the bin. They’re less sealed than your average refrigerator.
