TIL about MTP Cable.

I've wanted to run some fiber to connect into my office. Right now it's 10G over copper, it would be nice to run something that takes less power than 10GBe though.

I used the duty cycle of my existing furnace to calculate the size of a replacement heat pump. The HVAC contractor salesperson at Gen3 didn't seem to use that information though. I thought the modulation of the Mitsubishi system would still be ok, but it wasn't. The minimum BTUs for the new system are still high enough that the system doesn't modulate.

Based on the energy usage and efficiency of the new system, the previous duty calculations seemed to be accurate for the heating load! It's nice to see this method discussed.

I don't think anyone needs to host other people's spam on the web. If they want to post crap they can do that under whatever place on the web they have. The tooling around following conversations across websites doesn't seem to exist though?

Really enjoying reading Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At. The latest post is an unfortunate story for Google Search.
