re: AC. the best thing I ever did was deliberately get a north facing apartment. the previous one was south facing, and it was killer in the summer. - loosilu Jun 11, 12:22 2
- I have windows both north and south. Good/bad is that prevailing winds are east/west. Great in winter, not so good in summer when you'd like a breeze. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 11, 12:33
- Our place is mostly East/West exposure, it's great. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 11, 12:26

F-you. Apple. iOS 6 will not run on 1st Generation iPads -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 11:53 14
- so, no new iPhone at this event. hmm. - spamlet Jun 11, 12:11
- but at least they are adding a Do not disturb function. how it has taken then to i0s version 6 to figure that out is beyond me. -- nm - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 12:03
- I'm an Ipad 1st gen - what is iOS6? I am assuming that it is operating system but how does it effect me? - Epiphany Jun 11, 12:03 4
  - iOS 6 in a nutshell -- (link) - oblique Jun 11, 12:14 1

  - it doesn't effect you cause you can't have it. :) -- nm - sycor Jun 11, 12:04
- that's a huge mistake. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 11:55 4
  - It's typical apple. "Screw you if you don't buy our latest product." - pmb Jun 11, 12:28 1
    - It's most frustruating when jailbreakers turn around and prove it runs just fine on the hardware anyways -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 12:31
  - Jailbreak time :) -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 11:57
  - It might suck for some first-geners, but I somehow doubt that Apple is making a mistake here. :) -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 11:57

  - kid, your face is an old myth. -- nm - Max Jun 11, 12:30
- I've heard that before -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 12:08
- it might be more efficient but coming home to a house that is 100 degrees rather than one that is 70 would SUCK -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 12:07
- tangent: not having central AC this summer is going to be brutal. - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:53 1

  - [deleted] 1
    - Oh sure, it's less than 50% for sure but it's not off the table. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 11:46
  - but even if the Dems keep the Senate, do you really want Harry Reid being the only person standing in front of the GOP steamroller? -- nm - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:45 2

You know my plan to buy a house by UNLV and rent rooms to college students? Well that's over. - ceregon Jun 11, 11:37 7
- I think you are better off, you'd end up with a half empty house for a month or two, a lot more turnover/turmoil, I think you have a fairly stable.. - zeitgeist Jun 11, 11:43 1
  - The fighters have been good tenants in general, and they have been phenomenal in referring new tenants to me. -- nm - ceregon Jun 11, 11:51
- You're better off without the students. F---ing renters! -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 11:38 4
  - uh, yeah, that was his plan!! -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 11:39 3

JenBro - it's called Orange Nut (Valspar). - kelly Jun 11, 11:37 23
- wow - I like that a LOT ... it's sort of a Melon/Orange (if I linked to the right one) -- (link) - JenBro Jun 11, 12:42
- nice! if you have the AC running, your inside air should be pretty dry. when the paint is 100% dry and hard (shut up kilbo), showering should be fine. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 11:40 19
  - We do have AC running, but it doesn't seem to make it upstairs...it's always at least 10 degrees hotter up here. - kelly Jun 11, 11:43 18
    - In the summer, we leave the AC fan set to On, and that helps a lot. -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 11:45 3
      - *logs onto NEST, turns his fan to On* - oblique Jun 11, 11:46 2
        
        Dummy. - Spawn Jun 11, 11:48 1
        
        For heat, it learned real nice. What I've learned with the air on is that we don't change it so it isn't learning a schedule - oblique Jun 11, 11:51
    - You need another blower -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 11:44 13
      - I can feel the cool air coming out of the vents up here...just never seems to cool the rooms up here. - kelly Jun 11, 11:50 10
        
        does the upstairs get more sun? -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 12:01 1
        
        Maybe? - kelly Jun 11, 12:08
        
        I have some of the same issues, but not horribly. When it gets really hot the a/c can't keep up. - pmb Jun 11, 11:57
        
        attic fan? - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:56 2
        
        also, closing all the vents on the first floor to force the air up to the second. - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:58 1
        
        this -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 12:15
        
        Our place is like that. In winter the downstairs is unbearably cold. In summer, downstairs feels much nicer. At least 10 degree diff. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 11:55
        
        Could also be poor insulation in the roof. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 11, 11:54 2
        
        Maybe. During the winter, we have the thermostat in the low 70s, yet the upstairs is in the mid 60s. - kelly Jun 11, 11:56 1
        
        Our house inside is 2.5 levels and it's always warmer upstairs.....opening the upstairs windows in the early morning and keeping the downstairs - CrankYanker Jun 11, 12:02
      - or open the windows upstairs to let the hot air out and allow a cross breeze to pull the cold air up. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 11, 11:45 1
        
        or just run the exhaust fans in the upstairs bathroom(s) -- nm - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 11:48
