What Are You Doing Right Now

Okay, that image is way too big. But we can put up ads on the sidebar, which is what we are testing. xByte just provided us some sample images to put up for a few minutes to see how things would look.
Wow, that image is huge. Pushed the entire column over a bit.
-
I just shrank it a bit.
-
Found out that Greyhound lost @thanksajdotcom luggage. They think that it went on to San Francisco when he got off of the bus early. So hopefully they will find it soon.

Still a bit big but I think I would just have to get used to it. I liked the text being on the center of the screen before.
-
Looking at that new ad on ML.... yuck. I already know Xbyte exists.
-
Trying a real add now, not just a logo. Looks a little bit more normal

Eh, just have to get used to it. I don't mind the ads just wish the thread was in the middle of the screen and the ads were offset to one side.

Almost lvl up on SW, 16 whole points to Thai. Unsure if I care enough to try and bump it.

There is tweaking to be done. This is a very first test of just popping up an ad-like image.
-
Latest ad does not seem too bad. Mostly unobtrusive.

Not in the mood for coffee this morning. I am craving a right proper cuppa and a digestif.

Greyhound lost nothing. The traveler got off the bus prior to the ticketed location. It is up to the traveler to ensure that their luggage gets off with them in that instance.

He did, they had already lost it and it was no longer on the bus with him. The passengers were not allowed to manage their own luggage on this trip and they sent the luggage with a different bus to San Fran rather than letting him move it from bus to bus with him. But did so without notification so he didn't get to know that until he got off the bus and his luggage was gone.
-
They are hoping that the luggage arrives in San Francisco. My understanding is that it is not tracked at this time and the stated rules on Greyhound's site were not followed by Greyhound and so the system is not operating as intended so there is some question as where the luggage is.

I miss having a really wood stove. simple and reliable. We had one in the house I grew up in,.. cooked on it, lots of family time around it. It was in the basement so if the power went out, we would retreat there. it was a 4 bedroom house, my room was on the 3rd floor.
Now, we have a ventless Propane fireplace upstairs, and some day I'll add one in the basement. if I could, I'd use an external wood burner and radiant floor heat...
Next house... maybe.
I'll be installing coal and radiant floor heating in my next house if it doesn't have it already. Radiant floor heating is the best, as in comfortable not sure about efficiency.
Purely a guess on my part, but it seems like it would be very efficient because it is direct water to solid heat rather than heating the air. You spend energy heating what matters rather than focusing on heating the air at the ceiling.
Plus you absorb a fair amount of the heat through your feet
-
Quite a bit to be sure. That's why everything down here is tile to keep us cool. We are often barefoot on the tile here, makes a huge difference.
-
As I understand it, radiant heat is about heating the things we interact with, not the air. My dad had radiant heat in his garage/shop 30 years ago. It heated the floor (that was before the more common in concrete tubes of today). You didn't get the comfort of blowing warm air, but once the floor was warm, the whole room was pretty comfortable.
-
Radiant heat still heats the air. The floor is just the radiator.
Traditional radiators were radiant heat too.

LOL of course you're right, but unlike traditional HVAC systems that heat the air and pump it around, the radiant heats the object, and the object heats the air...
-
Right. Radiation instead of convection.
