Definitely, any changes natural or anthropogenic would be measured and to great accuracy. I just wanted to point out that the notion of the general public, especially if conditioned to distrust scientists and authorities, not noticing changes isn’t the outlandish part. See global warming denial despite years of record setting temperatures.
Ignoring conspiracy theory stuff, people aren’t very good at perceiving changes in light levels if they happen gradually. During any solar eclipse there are wide bands where only a partial eclipse is observed. It’s pretty common for people in those bands to not notice that something has changed even with 50% occlusion.
American chestnuts will die here, but I have a magnificent large Chinese chestnut tree in my yard. It’s not the same, but at least we get to harvest some 10-15 gallons of chestnuts every fall.
And you hitting submerged objects that aren’t flowing. I remember cutting my hand on a rock while going through rapids with a life jacket on. You need to practice keeping your feet downstream when in whitewater conditions.
Is your electric company requesting a rate increase from a public utilities commission?
Salary also can’t be exempt from overtime if the salary works out to less than minimum wage for the hours worked. So only 2080 of the 6000 hours could be minimum wage and the other 3920 would be paid at time and a half.
Are you familiar with the difference between polar (r, theta) coordinates and cartesian (x,y) coordinates? Parabolas are the solution to gravity that is uniform no matter where you sample. It assumes that gravity points in the same direction with the same magnitude no matter where you are. In this model, gravitational acceleration is always 9.81 m/s^2 in the -y direction. That is a reasonable simplification for things that are at the human scale constrained to near the earth’s surface. Deviations from air resistance will matter far more than errors stemming from that assumption anyway.
Conic sections are the solutions to gravity that is between two objects where the force is along the line between the center of mass of both objects and the strength is inversely proportional to the square of separation. Now you need polar cpordinates and the direction of gravity changes as things move around. This works pretty well for orbits around the earth and orbits around the sun, because the earth is so much more massive than sattelites that orbit it, and the sun is so much more massive than things that orbit it. If you need really precise orbit trajectories, ellipses aren’t truly accurate either. You need to account for all the orbiting bodies in the system. The 3-body problem famously doesn’t have purely analytical solutions, and you need to resort to numerical methods to calculate trajectories.
So both solutions come from simplified mathematical models. Despite being simplifications, their predictive power is actually very goood. However, like you are intuiting, it’s important to know when those simplifying assumptions lead to errors that start to become important. It’s hard to come up with a particular threshold for when you need to switch from one model to another, because it really depends on how much accuracy your application needs.
I did search for “weather on the way” in google play store. While they don’t have an android app, I found two similar apps that do a lot of what I wanted: “drive weather” and “highway weather.” Thank you for the search term that yielded results. I like that the"highway weather" app allows adding in rest stops and propagates the change into the forecast.
I will note that neither of these options seem to offer turn by turn navigation. So there is still room for some of the navigation apps to integrate this functionality.
I have long wanted a weather forecast along route in navigation apps for long trips. Ideally you could add in stops and estimate how long you would need to wait for storms to pass over.
This an assembly specifically designed to spread out heat, applying heat to the pipes will just make the whole thing hot. If you did take a giant blowtorch to it and got it hot enough to soften the pipes, you’d probably dry out the pipes (potentially explosively).
Heat pipes are cold worked in the factory. The metals chosen are ductile. Adding lots of heat will only add to the problems.
It is available on android as well.
I don’t have information specific to midea, so there is some speculation, but I do have a ge unit which does outright say that the water condensate is slung across the condenser coil to boost efficiency. And yes, my ge unit got really nasty and I ended up drilling a hole in the base of the condensate pan to drain all the water.

Heat pump efficiency is limited by the temperature delta across the compressor. The larger the temperature delta, the less efficient a heat pump is. Evaporating water off the condenser coil drops the refrigerant temperature compared to air only and gives a small boost to efficiency. I don’t think it’s a big difference, but it’s enough to be worthwhile doing if you can “get it for free.” Unfortunately, a constantly cool and wet pool is a great breeding ground for mold and pathogens that you don’t want airborne.
As for cleaning ease, I based that off of comments (on reddit I think), recommending people push midea to pay for a technician to perform the fix because taking it apart for a thorough cleaning is a hassle. So I have no firsthand experience there and I’ll defer to your judgement.
I don’t have one of that type, so I haven’t contacted them. I was thinking about getting a unit like that, but then found out why they weren’t in stock anywhere.
I think the lack of drain was intentional so that the water wiuld splash up on the condenser coil. An AC unit generates a lot more water than a refrigerator though, so I think any design with a condensate basin below the condenser coil will have mold problems. The other issue is they didn’t make the unit very serviceable, so opening it up to clean out mold sounds like a huge hassle. Draining the water away will mean the units won’t be as efficient as originally designed, but mold can be a major health hazard.
The U shaped units manufactured by midea were all recalled and are not currently available for sale.
You might want to look up the recall and get the repair kit. They were recalled for excessive mold build up.
I just leave the adapter plugged into the headphones. Then there’s nothing extra to manage.
They are coaxial so you would have to carefully solder both the center wire and outer shield and keep the two from having electrical contact. Even if you manage to do that, there will be an impedance mismatch that might really degrade signal strength.
I would personally just shop for replacement antennae.
This is an x-y problem. You are asking about methods of placement when your actual concern is methods of accountability. Choosing someone else in the next election isn’t accountability, it’s a flimsy escape mechanism. Both methods of placement won’t be able to correct for a bad actor without further protections from independent/external authority.
I like the Beko we got a few years ago. They compete well with Bosch.
Will Forte. His voice and “quirky” style I find just irritating and not at all amusing.
