  • I took a job at a "robotics" company after the owner sold me a huge line of bullshit (that I completely fell for which is a story for another time) after being in a toxic job for a number of years before. On day one at about 8:30am, I realized that it was not what I fell for during the interview. The boss was someoletely unhinged, the expected hours were not what I had agreed to and the work was constantly being micromanaged by the owner who knew just enough to look like a complete idiot when the discussions got technical. The only positive thing with the job was that I had some company stock coming in at 6 months so I held out until I was 100% sure they couldn't screw me on the stock vesting and then immediately resigned.

  • Ours is a variable speed compressor so during the summer, it is set to 76 during the day when my wife/kids are there and set to maintain humidity under 50% which allows overcooling by 2 degrees. We run at 70/69 at night because our youngest doesn't sleep well with the fan running in our room so I have it cooler to keep from soaking the bed with sweat.

  • There are different heating element sizes for electric heaters and different burner btu ratings for gas heaters. You can have a big tank and low heating output, a small tank with a high output, or any other combo of those.

    My solution is to buy the highest output heater with as big of a tank as you can find, crank the output to just below the flamethrower output level, and shower with my wife. It fixes most of the problems with a benefit of naked wife time.

    I live on the gulf coast with a shitty power grid so we have gas powered tank heaters so it still works during an outage, otherwise I would probably go tankless.
