It depends on if you replace just the furnace or the whole HVAC. A new furnace will probably run around 5k, more for the whole system. Since its probably all original to the condo I recommend the latter.

Thats got to be "Eve"? Ill see myself out.

I guess we dodged that bullet, just raining here.

Heh, I dont even answer my phone unless the number is already programmed into my contact list. T-Mobile is also pretty good with alerts like "Scam Likely" being displayed for some of the unknown numbers. Those immediately get permanently blocked.

Oooooh, that makes a lot more sense!

Dont get me started! I was already annoyed that T-Rex and Velociraptor evolved EXACTLY THE SAME on another planet.

Yes!...No!...Im not sure yet!... The bifocal peripheral spot is noticeable (and I got the second widest range available) but I find that I really just need to retrain my eyeball muscle memory to look at the correct area and then its perfect. My previous glasses had thin (top to bottom) lenses so I used to just peek under them for close-in reading. My vanity made me select the no-line bifocals, but I think if you get the bifocal lenses that have the visible line across them then this isnt an issue?

About a week ago I had all I could stand, I couldnt stand no more, of my new Transition lenses. I went back to the eyeglass store and fell on my sword fully prepared to have to purchase another set of new lenses (I kept the frames). To my great surprise, and even with me adding in a no-line bifocal, they replaced the lenses at no charge! Its a little freaky getting used to the bifocal part but they work great and I can now see up close without propping them on top of my head.

Why were the 500 Euro notes taken out of circulation? Whats the highest denomination available, 100 Euro?

What are you guys talking about?

I agree that this capability is probably still far away from current capabilities, but Im arse talking too. I think a good first step in AI is in the "attributable" platforms such as the loyal wingman concept: Boeing MQ-28 Ghost Bat - Wikipedia. Start here and build upon the real world results.

Thanks. Me too, man, me too. Otherwise everything is following me into the grave.

@rjshae I dont get the reference can you fill me in? I really dont understand the US military reluctance to go fully unmanned. What the difference between the pilot sitting in the ****pit, observing a bank of sensor displays and carrying out the mission, and a pilot doing the exact same thing in a room at some base? I suppose there could be a few milliseconds of "lag" between input and aircraft reaction? I mean, its not like theyre looking out the windows to see whats going on around them. It seems to me that the meat sack is just a liability in a bomber. IMO, we also need to stop clutching our pearls about "AI" and start making some serious gains.

Then how many F-16 were lost?

You remind me of Walsingham. Maybe they should give up since it didnt work the first time? I hope I live to see it but at least my daughter will benefit. w00t!

Same. Well, it goes from the tap, into a Brita pitcher, then drank. Also coffee (but mostly in the evening instead of the morning) and IPA beers. I should cut the beer out but its super strong (for a beer) so I only need to drink a few to catch a buzz. I never ever drink pop.

My wife barely knows this forum exists, so when I die Ill just disappear, nobody will come on to announce it. She also 100% runs the household finances, so unfortunately, she always "spoils" herself to the gifts because shes always peeping the Chase app and the Amazon cart/previous orders.

I ordered my wife two presents today: Wind deflectors and her favorite perfume I still have to figure out more presents for her, but thankfully she handles the rest of the present buying. @Keyrock whats the space between rings, 1"?
