I understood some of these words.

But that was fun to read

Which especially funny because it’s part of the same religion, just the “other side”

Hmm, never heard that before. Idk how to link to a specific section of a page, but what I’m talking about is there too, one section down.

An alternate system of nomenclature for the same units (referred to here as the customary convention), in which 1 kilobyte (KB) is equal to 1,024 bytes,[38][39][40] 1 megabyte (MB) is equal to 10242 bytes and 1 gigabyte (GB) is equal to 10243 bytes is mentioned by a 1990s JEDEC standard. Only the first three multiples (up to GB) are mentioned by the JEDEC standard, which makes no mention of TB and larger. The customary convention is used by the Microsoft Windows operating system[41][better source needed] and random-access memory capacity, such as main memory and CPU cache size, and in marketing and billing by telecommunication companies, such as Vodafone,[42] AT&T,[43] Orange[44] and Telstra.[45]

For storage capacity, the customary convention was used by macOS and iOS through Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and iOS 10, after which they switched to units based on powers of 10.[34]

It’s 1024 because 1 bit is either a 1 or a 0, and a byte has 8 bits in it.

And they should move all the deer crossing signs to different roads so the deer don’t have to cross where they’re so likely to get hit

Who the fuck is Dennis

Diversity makes these white people happy

Oooohhhh. Thank you

Tell me you’re from BC without telling me you’re from BC

I don’t get it

…what?

I think you mean CIBC

Just curious what’s wrong with saying Google?

Lol yeah, a motor can run in either direction, but I can’t think of any that do in the equipment I service as part of normal operation right now.

Small correction, no motor runs backward. You can’t reverse the flow through a compressor, so heat pumps have a reversing valve that slides back and forth to reverse the flow of refrigerant in the system.

Here’s a fun video to watch

And now you’ve stumbled upon the debate that us air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics are all participating in. Refrigerants right now have some sort of danger.

R-22 has an ozone depletion potential. It has clhlorine atoms that break up ozone in the atmosphere, and it’s been discontinued in 2020.

R-410A has flourine atoms, so has no ozone depletion potential but has a global warming potential, like CO2. It’s the current refrigarant for air conditioners and heat pumps, next to be phased out when we find a better replacement.

Ammonia is natural and not harmful for the environment, but flammable and toxic in high concentrations. Lucky for you, most air conditioning or residential/commercial refrigeration systems don’t use it, it’s only large scale industrial refrigaration, like fisheries, ice cream and yogurt factories, etc.

Some say the hydro companies are pushing heat pumps to make more money. They also require more maintenance than a furnace, which also cost $$. Change your filters, and have your electrical components checked at least once per year and your system be happier in the long run and you’ll save on break downs and repairs.

Me, I just try to do a good job, practice good workmanship to make sure my installs and the equioment I maintain don’t leak or break. That’s how I’m doing my part for the planet

We’re constantly trying to do better and be better, it’s just a long process.
