Is it that area of dirt between the joists and posts in a raised foundation style dwelling?
Yes.
No. He said it had a concrete slab, not bare dirt. He didn't say, however, whether the foundation walls were insulated and un-vented, which is why I wrote my big fat speech above.
I agree with the mounting. Other questions I have:
- Access? How easy will it be to reboot this thing if it hard hangs, or needs repair? Is it getting its own receptacle? Maybe you can give it its own circuit, and flip the breaker if it needs to reboot. - Wireless or a wire drop? If wireless, will you get a strong signal down there?
A crawlspace can be considered outside of the house; indeed, for many years it was treated as such. But what we've learned about moisture (causing mold) and exposed earth (radon) has changed that. A crawlspace should be INSIDE the building envelope. A properly designed crawlspace has the following features:
- A concrete floor, with a moisture proof liner and layer of foam insulation underneath. - Foundation walls must be insulated, and foundation vents should be closed and sealed under normal conditions. - Crawlspace air should be conditioned.
Meanwhile, even though we've known about this for decades, even recent houses might have open vents, exposed dirt (or just a liner vulnerable to punctures), insulation between the joists (which still allows thermal bridging and traps moisture in the floor where there is vinyl flooring), etc. I'm just pointing out that we don't know what "anonymous" has for a crawlspace. If it's sealed, insulated, has a concrete floor, and stays within the operating temperature of the components he's using, fine. I would still probably put it in a ceiling-mount rack attached to the floor joists, just to mitigate the buildup of condensation if the liner underneath the floor fails/doesn't exist. Myself? My crawlspace is sealed, but I put my media server in a closet because it's attached to non-powered speakers on my desk. That required the shortest cable run possible, and I wanted it physically accessible. Reasons why, in another post.
Which product do you think "real" internet providers will have trouble competing with: free Internet.org, with access to only a few whitelisted services, or the hacked (but still free) Internet.org that allows you to go anywhere? Without the hack, you get basic access for free, and if you have some cash you can buy full access from a local company. With it, there are few reasons to pay anymore.
So this guy basically just wants to give everyone free access to the complete internet, because entitlement.
Exactly. There were additions made to the FOIA in the 1970s that specifically allowed any inquiries to information held by the government on oneself. If I were an Eric Snowden, I'd want to know what the President was saying about me.
A member of the mainstream media politely asked for information, which is no longer sufficient in the police state. The next step is to file an FOIA request, and see what happens then.
Well, the inner cities have, de facto or de jure, eliminated the militia by making inexpensive firearms illegal ("Saturday night speciala") or banning them all, outright. Those people have long been disarmed. So that's why we're seeing the level of oppression we are. I don't agree with others that it's a race war-- it's a class war, and black communities are being affected the most not necessarily because they're black, but because they're poor. Police oppression is now working its way into the suburbs, so if we allow them to start disarming the people there it will start looking like Ferguson with the middle class.
Maybe things are different in South Africa-- notwithstanding the drastic social progress made in the last few decades-- but in the USA, HOAs are not political organizations run by conservatives and you'll find plenty of "liberals" voluntarily living under them.
FWIW, I hate HOAs because I don't like the idea of paying some org to tell me what to do. I don't care what my neighbors do as long as it doesn't damage my property.
Building standards in the USA have required at least R30 in the attic and R13 in the walls for decades.* Not every state or local government requires every building industry standard, but that combined with consumer demands suggests "typical" homes have at least minimal insulation. You made the assertion, so you can provide the evidence that the "typical US home" has no insulation.
* Yes, R49-R60 is more appropriate in the two coldest zones, but R30 is a good start. And we're talking cooling load, here.
This is the kind of thing that makes it hard to be altruistic.
Do nothing, but give lip service to social action, and everyone loves you.
Do something, and be endlessly criticized for not doing more.
This is true for both companies and individuals, by the way. If you ever make a great effort to help friends or family that are having a hard time, prepare for them to criticize you to everyone who will listen for not doing more.
That navigation BS is definitely a no-no. I've been upgraded from a compact to a minivan for free before because the compact wasn't available. Enterprise charged me for the compact I reserved.
If you think the wealthy drive "recklessly", then forget fines and SUSPEND THEIR LICENSES.
Let's not give a revenue stream to the abusive police departments, who are already encouraged to steal property through civil forfeiture and the war on drugs. They do this instead of doing nasty negative-revenue stuff like solving murders and robberies.
Why? Just because "that's where it came from", or even dumber, "because that's where the NAME came from"? American English has actually changed less than what people call "the Queen's English".
"Zed" might be a more distinct way of vocalizing the letter "Z", but to suggest that an American should pronounce his professional name that way when we haven't done so since the 19th century is preposterous. For shizzle my nizzle.
I'm sure that somewhere in this discussion, someone will invoke the tragedy of the commons and claim that this is proof OSS can't work. But the well-intentioned enemy of the NTP project is, ironically, Stenn himself. Because he is willing to work 100 hours a week maintaining it by himself, and more importantly, consult with corporations for little more than a vague promise of donations, everyone thinks all is well with the project. But all is NOT well, and while the internet won't collapse if tragedy befalls Stenn, there will be major consequences for a time and it will be because one man thought he could be Atlas.
I'm loathe to criticize a man who has worked harder for OSS than 99.99% of us, but it's something that he needs to take action to change.
It would make it as long as your timing chain didn't jump a tooth, and bend a valve due to the interference design. Ironically, they used to do this because of the plastic guides. GM's Iron Duke had a similar problem with a resin gear, but it was non-interference so your teenager wouldn't torpedo the engine.
As you have, because you ignored Luke 1:41-44, Psalm 51, Psalm 139, Jeremiah 1:5, and Hosea 12. Those indicate humanity before birth. Interpret as you will, but don't claim the converse as "fact".
Embryonic stem cell research? REALLY? The bible doesn't mention stealing people's credit card information or hijacking airplanes, either, so those must be OK as well.
Are you one of those people who claim that the second amendment only protects muskets (and artillery, obviously)?

OK, a little bit on residential design.

Send more officers out on patrol? But they don't have enough tasers, pepper spray, and 9mm ammunition for all that!

Don't blame me, I voted for Claudius.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
They had to pass the bill so that we could see what was in it.

A 3,800 sq ft flat is a bit unusual.
Oh, I see. You were comparing heating and cooling a small apartment to a big house.

Who needs all that money they're collecting in the fines? Or rather, who is getting it?

You don't need recordings. We know about linguistics based on poetry.
