I had a heat pump installed about a year ago. It came with one free service and the installing company has been calling me almost every week to come out and do the complimentary tune up. I know that I obviously should take a free tune up, but it made me wonder. How often do I actually need this done? What are they actually...
Never, do not let anyone touch it if it's working. The furnace, yes...the outdoor unit, NO. Even then, the furnace would just need filter changes, and maybe checking gas pressures for heat and heat exchanger cracks or whatever..
It's a closed loop system. Zero reason to even look at it unless it stops working.the more it gets worked on, the higher changlce it won't be working the same after.
I know evolution is governed by chance and it is random but does it make sense to "ruin" sleep if there's light? I mean normally, outside, you never have pure darkness, there are the moon and stars even at night. In certain zones of the Earth we also have long periods of no sunshine and long periods of only sunshine....
Full darkness is most certainly a thing and is more of a thing then light..light is artificial. Remove the sun...what do you get, full darkness. Light is added, darkness isn't.
Same with heat..everything is cold unless heat is added.
Cold and full dark are forever, heat and light are techcially temporary.
I started a server with some friends and I pretty quickly realized I’d prefer to have my own spaghetti than work on someone else’s, so I ran off. Do you prefer working closely with people or do you have more fun making factories in far-off lands?...

It’s gotten rather absurd. If my interaction is with a kiosk short of being handed something, it’s an insulting extra step. I’m already paying the price for my employer’s pay scale … I can’t take on someone else’s stinginess....
Are your Huskies paws scratchy or smooth? Curious as mine are kinda scratchy like a cats tongue but they have never seemed to bother her. I always figured it was a breed thing.
Advertise service for like $70 a month, when in REALITY it’s 140. I always askel for the real price and they continue to tell me the sale price…I don’t care about sales and deals until I know what shit costs.
This is the same bullshit, just in reverse. Hide the pay and only talk about the bullshit they can just take away in a moment’s notice. Deceptive.

Insurance isn’t in the business of paying…they collect, have broken websites and claim forms that I swear have a hard cap of like 5 submissions a day, infinite holds for repeat callers and customer service who’s job is to deny and annoy you to the point of just not bothering.
With how bad air quality has been this year, I grabbed myself a DIY AirGradient kit so I can monitor air quality in my living space. It was easy to assemble and only required a little bit of soldering knowledge. I’m definitely not proficient enough at soldering as many components ended up crooked on the board. Still works...

Regarding sleep quality, why did humans evolve to require full darkness?
