I heard there are 8 over Rhode Island, the Chinese are confused over coffee milk.

AFAIK it's the same balloon. Which was shot down just as it drifted over the Atlantic.

That’s a whole state there bud. The white spaces in between roads are massive.

But really, what's with these Chinese spy balloons popping up, one in Montana yesterday, 1 in South Carolina today?

RACIST!!!

You *could* go out to start your car naked in -10F weather.

As long as you're not hanging around outside you'll be fine. At -10F with 30mph wind you'll be fine for 5 minutes (Frostbite calculator says 9 minutes at that temp/wind)

Not that I'd recommend it, mind you. If you locked yourself out of your house you'd have a problem pretty quickly.

Technically there is not a lot of roads here. If you look closer there is quite a bit of areas that have no roads and if you look further the amount of roads that connect to other roads is minimal.

Where I live I can either drive one exit on 101, or if I decide to go through town and streets it is amazing how much I need to drive to get to the same place.

You should have kicked the heat up to at least seventy degrees. It can be too difficult for your heating system to keep up with extreme cold, especially with the wind.

I would argue reversing the plan to get rid of this tax hurts the middle class more than the rich considering it impacts everyone making more than $2,400 in interest/dividends.

Similar here. 1953 built with shitty insulation and original windows. Furnace is only 4 years old but set at 65 and stayed there.

It’s Reddit.

Yes.

I like Valvoline for inspections too because as you said, quick. And they won't do much repair work outside replacing your windshield wipers so less motivation to try to get you for extra money.

Pretty generous to call the goat paths in my area "roads"

The bump outwards where Portsmouth is, is incredibly unpleasing

And the landlord is required to provide them! So again, either the apartment is inadequate to state standards, or OP has not been shown how to keep it heated. Either way, the answer does not have to be “just suck it up and have a 55 degree apartment.”

Talk to any heating professional- that’s not how it works. If you always designed for the extreme outlying days, then you have a grossly oversized system for the remainder of the year and are wasting a ton on unnecessary equipment. The design day temperature for Rockingham county is 0° for example. That is the standard that a system is installed and sized for. When it’s colder than that, you’re going to need to take supplemental measures.

Stroads

This is not normal. Don’t apologize for landlords. They are required to provide a system capable of maintaining 65 degrees. If the system can’t keep up and drops 10 degrees below that in a single day of cold weather (weather that we regularly have for a few days or a week most winters), then one or more of the following apply:

• the rental unit has inadequate insulation and sealing
• the heating system is undersized
• the heating system needs service
• OP has not been shown how to use the system correctly

I cancelled - and apparently a lot of people didn’t show, so I’m glad I did :)

Furnaces only have on or off, they don't work harder to maintain in set temp, they run longer. Heat pump systems are a different story but the furnace or boiler found in most homes just runs longer to get to a higher temp.

I have a 50 year old house with a drafty front door. -13° plus the winds and we maintained a 70° set point . We have forced hot water and it was running a ton but it kept up. Your system might be under sized.

What's that concentration up north? Berlin?

ah the state vascular system

My home is a little over 30 years old, running on the original boiler, and has had no problem.

I even increased the temp setpoint closer to 70.

It's pretty well insulated and uses forced hot water.
