Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
“My mom lives paycheck to paycheck and if the AC breaks down in the summer and you can’t afford to fix it, you will die here. My dad proves that.”
Richest country in the world.
They say.
Sure. Problem is, that wealth isn't spread out.
I think that was the point?
It’s obvious to you and me it seems but people still learn about it for the first time everyday. Whether it’s a kid with their first smart phone or someone who was just lucky enough to live in ignorant bliss in their own life for years until one day they start to see things around them that they didn’t notice before. Their reality slipping away sluggishly and painfully, the America they pledged allegiance to was no longer there, no it was never there. It was lies, it was indoctrination, it was the insecurities made malice by powerful phobic cowards seeping down upon the masses, poisoning them and everything around them.
Hmm, true, good point. Sad point, but good point.
It is surprising how quickly it can hit though. I had an AC unit break on me a 95 degree night while we were all sleeping. Woke up feeling like my whole body was melting and all the water had been drained. The animals took it way worse and were pretty lethargic for a few hours while we cooled them off
My friend in Vegas said it's relatively common to have two a/c units so you have a backup. Is that a thing in AZ?
Multiple units are common for a large house. Not because they want a backup but because there are limits to how many square feet a single home unit can handle. Having a 2nd story or basement can influence the decision too. It's often cheaper to put in two home units vs upgrading to a large industrial size like what a store might use.
Obviously if you have 2 then one is a backup when you have a problem, but most people aren't going to have that.
Multiple units is usually a matter of cubic feet, not backups. A single unit can only cool so much air, so larger houses often need multiple units to achieve enough cooling. It could also be an area control thing, like maybe the upstairs unit is separate from downstairs, so you can cool upstairs even when downstairs is already cool. Because hot air rises, so upstairs tends to be warmer.
Not at all
Arizona is fucking crazy
Drill baby drill.
which way did they vote, though? I don't really care about them if they voted for this stuff to happen
