Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

10 feet below ground, in most temperate areas around the globe, the temperature is 55-58F year around, Barring flood areas, we should be thinking about subterranean living. It's much cheaper to regulate a constant 58F than swings of -5 to +105.
How about Geothermal HVAC instead?
All the ducts/plumbing are buried deep into the soil.

Cheap to operate, but not to install. Usually requires a larger yard too.
It's beyond my pay scale at this point, so we planted numerous shade trees instead. I'm pretty sure that most HOA's would not approve of our yard.

Hm, it's fun what you can randomly find on shuffle play in Qobuz sometimes. This popped up earlier today for me. For folks who dig Steely Dan and love guitars like me, this is an unexpected gem. Can't believe I haven't come across it before. I'm listening to Robben Ford rip a ferocious cover of "Peg" right now. Check it out!

You dudes are important to me. Been super busy at work. Sorry Tom about the tornado. Listening to a very underrated album. Rush Roll the Bones. Try it, please! So good. Still on Canadian whisky. Bourbon not my favorite. Lol! Have a good memorial day!
Great album... I listened to it a lot when it first came out.

This may have been clarified previously, but is it possible a future firmware update could add a standby mode to Gungnir 2 to reduce power draw (and heat) when not being used?

After decades of getting up by 0500 to start my workday I wonder how long it will take for my mental alarm clock to let me sleep longer? ...

Give it 3 weeks or so. And you can stay up later now, too. :D
Oh! I can tell the boss I'm practicing for my retirement when I oversleep now!

Thanks for the idea!

No. Would need relays to do this that aren't there.

The big benefit would be the ability to silence M. Manson when visiting @bcowen's Fotonic Preservation Center. :ksc75smile:
I think that that would be a programmable auto mute function that detected odd noise. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
PS: I do own a OG MB and still wonder why you would want a standby function. :thinking: :astonished:
