Several day's of 80+ temps, meaning it hasn't dropped below 80? Possibly it is just getting above 80 before you start your work day. And not dropping below until after your work day has ended?
I've experienced something similar except for temperatures below ~32-36 degrees. At this particular location it would result in a ~1hr outage going below that temperature, but not when it went back above it for some reason.
Even in the biggest cities if you got 15-20m outside the downtown you were totally out of luck pre-Uber. I have many memories of "calling a cab" in south San Francisco on a friday night and pretty much being laughed at. Uber/Lyft were literally magic when they first came out and you could see your driver coming to you on a map.
Literally. Seattle was pretty okay with taxi service in 2011, but in San Francisco, the same taxi company that dropped me off in South San Francisco one day in early 2012 just told me I was on my own and they could not help me when I tried to get a ride home. No numbers for partner companies or suggestions or anything. I was stranded, and willing to pay top dollar. I could not believe the complete failure of the market just a few minutes outside the city.
San Francisco taxis were the worst. It was impossible to get a cab on Friday and Saturday nights, and they always blocked any attempts to add more cabs to the roads. I have zero sympathy for them.
I've had Taxis drive away when someone in my party said "we're going to <place in South Brooklyn>" before anyone got in the vehicle. Cabbies don't want to leave Manhattan. And for that reason you also won't find them outside Manhattan. There's the green borough cabs, but good luck finding one to flag down on a random street in Bay Ridge.
Taxis probably aren't great in smaller areas, and if Ubers were primarily trying to locate themselves there and compete against cars that come when you call in those areas it would probably would work fine. I have to admit my experience with taxis is less dense areas was fine, but is probably more skewed, because taxi services were optimised to take people to/from transportation hubs (e.g. airports, trains) and hotels, and that's how I used them.
However, those smaller areas don't have taxi medallions to avoid and typically have less taxi regulations in general. Obviously, there is still a dumping component where Ubers are sold at a loss, but the main concern I heard most people have with Ubers was them ignoring the various taxi regulations that made it work in dense areas. Things like horrible traffic jams caused by too many Ubers all converging on one location, refusing to pick up minorities, etc.
Edit: To clarify, since I was misunderstood. I don't mean taxis are good at picking up minorities. They, historically and through today, have not been (with some minorities). That's why there are laws that try to make it so taxis have to pick them up. That is one example of a regulation that Uber/Lyft have ignored. AFAIK, this has caused some issues with Uber drivers and no way to appeal except to hope that Uber corporate believes your story.
Taxi cab companies are infamous for avoiding entire parts of suburbia all over the US. You should spend more time outside of your urban bubble, live in middle america (or in poor LATAM, where uber exists and taxis are unsafe) for a few years, enough to realize there's an entire population underserved by existing taxi monopolies, that have been literally rescued by Uber.
> because taxi services were optimised to take people to/from transportation hubs (e.g. airports, trains) and hotels, and that's how I used them.
This is why your experience is so different from mine. If you're just using them to get around, during the day, going between major traveler landmarks (airport, hotels, tourist destinations), yes, taxis are fine.
Almost all of my taxi/Uber use is as a local. I spent way too many nights in my 20s drunkenly wandering around downtown at 2-3am trying to find a cab to get home.
Mini split systems can be used with ducts. All big venders sell heads which are specifically made to be connected to ducts. That way you get the best of both worlds and its also easy to retrofit to an existing (ducted) house.
This is a little known fact outside of the HVAC trades as everyone associates mini-split systems with the infamous wall-mounted indoor unit. I bought this LG unit[0] which I used some duct-foam board to build an adapter for and fanned out ductwork for that zone. People are amazed when I tell them this is a ducted mini split.
> The best faith interpretation I can come up with, is in fact for security purposes. It creates restrictions on (at least from Mozilla’s perspective) untrusted extensions. I mean how many extensions are there that do act maliciously? It probably isn’t trivial.
My best interpretation of that is it allows organizations to more easily allow some extensions while disallowing others.
Firefox is lagging behind on enterprise configuration options. Adding in additional features that allow sysadmins to deploy policies that can further control Firefox like Chrome and Edge could be potentially behind why this is happening.
This is of course, complete speculation and if it was for enterprise management reasons, Mozilla should have clearly communicated it.
Imgur is used for both regular content and adult content.
They can't guarantee a random picture uploaded by a random user isn't porn. (though they give a best effort). Additionally the side bars show what's most popular. In theory something NSFW could end up with a thumbnail on an unrelated picture. So they give you the warning ahead of time. (I've used imgur tons and never seen this.)
I think it's more like doing the wave at a large sports stadium.
Everyone isn't always in phase with every other station's phase at that exact moment in time. They're just in phase with their local part of the grid's phase. Though amount that is different is milliseconds, not seconds as in the stadium wave example.
I'll be doing the strike, and possibly an extended strike. Then I'll briefly return to see where the communities I follow are migrating to. After that I'll have no more need for reddit since most of the communities I follow are tech related and will almost certainly be looking for a new home should the behavior at the top continue.
Unfortunately as technology evolves our default operating procedures have to evolve too.
Take for example draining batteries until they die as the "battery health best practice". Obviously terrible advice for lithium-ion batteries.
Or advice to "never leave a car/lead-acid battery on concrete for longer than a few minutes." Which just doesn't apply with plastic/rubber shelled lead-acid batteries these days.
I'm not sure what a stop gap to replace the emergency check is, but I'm sure there are options.
"It's difficult to take direction from someone who doesn't know (or can't explore) the problem space as well as I do. I find I'm managing up so much that there seems less and less benefit to the current reporting structure I find myself in."
How often do people complain themselves into a new post?
