  • Mine is programmable. In winter it’s set to 65F at night and 68F durring the day. When unoccupied it also goes to 65F. I’d love to be able to set it lower because I love the cold but my pet snake probably wouldn’t appreciate it even with their hot rock and heat lamp. Durring the summer I have it set to 68F while sleeping 72F durring the day and 78F while unoccupied. I don’t shut the AC off while unoccupied because in my area humidity is a much bigger issue in the summer than temperature and removing latent heat takes a long time if you let it build up all day. Currently working on refitting my system for better on demand latent heat removal.






  • That’s how it’s supposed to work in the US too. Maybe it depends on the state but in MN at least it’s illegal to fail to pull over for emergency vehicles. If you see any emergency vehicle on the road running with lights on then you are supposed to stop and pull off to the side so that they can have the whole road.

    The video in the OP looks nuts to me too. I’ve never seen people fail to pull over for an emergency vehicle in my area.




  • These cops a shitheel attempted murderers for shooting someone who wasn’t a threat to anyone through a fence. They should both be sent to prison and permanently barred from posessing firearms.

    But their form in committing that attempted murder isn’t the issue here. As far as mag dumping goes, that’s pretty standard practice when it comes to handguns. With hand guns it’s assumed that you’re going to be using them in a high stress situation where you aren’t going to have a whole lot of time to aim carefully and your adrenaline will be interfering with your aim. Plus handguns are harder to aim accurately and just plain more inaccurate than long guns. In addition, in a high stress situation someone can be shot and not even realize they got shot until the adrenaline wears off or they drop dead. It takes a pretty immediately critical wound to actually stop a human running on adrenaline and, while gunshot wounds are easily lethal given a little bit of time, there are shockingly few areas on the body where a gunshot wound is immediately lethal or immediately crippling. All this means that training for using handguns is to aim center of mass and keep pulling the trigger until your target actually drops or otherwise completely stops being a threat. They are really only meant to be last resort weapons even for cops. If you are planning on shooting someone then you get out a long gun.

    The thing to criticize here is that these two subhuman skidmarks decided to immediately gun down someone who was no immediate threat to them or anyone else. Criticizing their form durring that attempted murder just gives you less credibility around those who have firearms training and is irrelevant to the fact that they just decided on murder as plan A. Bringing up their form just deflects from the fact that their reason for shooting the victim could only be that they just wanted to.
