From what I can tell it's a just a house fan. The house ventilation doesn't do heating, cooling, etc. It just moves air.

These rooms have ventilation (and also usually a heater, cooling, dry mode). The ventilation can be set to 24/7 mode, which runs at a low setting, always on. Japanese houses/apartments also typically have a house ventilation syste

People in shoes off houses tend to have slippers or house shoes, which never go outside. They also tend to have bathroom slippers, which are only ever used in the toilet areas.

I've lived in both shoes on and shoes off households and I'm sorry, but shoes are filthy. I wipe my dogs paws when they comes in from walks and their paws are filthy and I wipe them every single time they come back in from walks.

IE's monopoly was replaced by Chrome and Safari's, and Safari only exists because Apple gives you no choice but to use it on iOS. Firefox had a brief spot on top, but it really didn't last that long. Windows still has the vas

If a land value tax would fix rich people from parking money in real estate, it would price regular people out of real estate. I know LVT is the libertarian dream, but in practice it means only the rich can own real estate long-term, in mos

When health insurance companies withhold care and cause the death of hundreds of thousands of people, that certainly ripples out. When profits of insurance are more important than people being able to get care, that directly leads to the si

This simply isn't true, or you'd see these places accept credit cards. The most prevalent mom & pop approach is either cash only or it's cash and PayPay. You may also see cash, PayPay and IC. PayPay, at first, had extreme

It happens, but when it does, you need to ask yourself: if the agent is struggling this much to produce something that's working, am I taking the right approach? If you ask for a particular thing, they'll do it, even if it's

If my net worth were that high? No. Folks need to remember that we're closer to being homeless than we are to being as rich as them. You don't need to defend billionaires.

A lot of range hoods in the US vent back into the house, surprisingly, especially if it's an apartment. IMO it should be code to have them vent outside.

Still affordable to locals. The yen has devalued, and the cost of mansions (condos) have gone up, but single family homes, small apartments, etc are still similarly priced to buy, and rent is generally stable. A major difference is that if

If you can't charge at home it's probably because you're in an apartment, which means you're in a city, in which case there's going to be charging infrastructure.

I'm astonished that anyone is astonished by this amount of dead code in any large code-base. That's like 10 somewhat normal sized PRs worth of code.

Higher sale price homes rarely use standard rates. Funny enough, you can pretty easily see this even on shows like selling sunset, when they show you the sales price and the potential commission. There's also points in the show where t

Federally, it is illegal to set a rate with clients. By law, rates must be negotiable. There's no regulation around sharing commissions between real estate agents, so maybe this is where you're getting confused?

There is no legal maximum for the percentage real estate agents can take, in the US. Rates are also not fixed, by law, and are required to be negotiable. There's a general standard for rates (typically 5-6%, split between agents/b

We're talking about cities that would benefit from congestion pricing. If there's enough traffic to need congestion pricing, then it could immediately benefit from public transit. I don't understand why folks always take this

Take the revenue generated from congestion pricing, and put it into public transportation. Make public transportation free to use. That would be far more impactful to the folks least able to bear an increase in driving fees. In most of the

This study doesn't factor in droughts, floods, crop death (and starvation), and other non-direct effects. It also doesn't consider wet-bulb events, because it's looking at average ambient temperatures. I don't think this
