Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
So since moving to Tassie I haven’t made any real friends, but in a really weird coincidence someone who I knew because she dated a friend I played footy and cricket with (20 years ago) happened to move in to the same area as I did in Tassie not long before I moved here (5 years ago). We spoke off and on but after she found out about the break up, she invited me out to trivia night with some of her work friends. I am really really terrible socially, was super nervous, and almost bailed. But I sucked it up and went last night and actually had a really good time. I was actually social and talked to people instead of feeling like I didn’t belong.
And we came third so even better.
Started work pretty normally… about an hour in, realised my throat was really dry and felt strange even though I’d been drinking water. Then I got really really tired. Told work I’m unavailable and slept from 10am until 5pm. I had to force myself to get out of bed so I wouldn’t keep sleeping. I’m going to order something in I think because I should eat but don’t have the energy to bother myself.
This being the day after I went back into the office for the first time since before my leave. Yikes.
THE UNIVERSE IS FUCKING WITH ME AND I REFUSE TO ENGAGE
I just wanna work out if the aircon should be ducted ceiling or through existing floor.
Don’t they have different vent sizes for air conditioning than just heating? Also if it’s ancient the ducts are probably in bad condidion and would need to be replaced anyway.
Ceiling. Better for dispersal across the area.
No I won’t show my work. I’ve lived in houses with both setups and ceiling AC felt better
still have the issue of the old vents, and also heating. The house is actually an older build (60’s) and amazingly done to accommodate the environs. Not only proper insulation, but oriented correctly for the sun, window placement also factors in summer baking + blast shield shutters for radiant heat, so I think we might be ok.
We had a splitty in the old place, and ran it at a minimum of ~24c during summer anyway so we’re not looking for arctic conditions. Guess it’s gonna come down to quote prices - if too outrageous we might put a split in the bedroom and then kick the can down the road a bit.
EDIT: should add, rooms already have reversible fans for pushing air about
Our house has evap upstairs, which does the job in general (plus a fan function) for bedrooms. Got a split in the living room which cools pretty much all of downstairs.
I’d love to have heating through the floor (or hydronic) but we make do.
What do people even eat for lunch if they don’t have cheese?
Ooof, Bethesda/Xbox leaks. Juicy.
The Oblivion remake is what annoys the hell out of me… been wanting that for ages and they finally do it only to cut Sony out. How Microsoft were able to get away with that acquisition is beyond me.
I dont think they’ve said its NOT coming to PS5, right? The only exclusive so far was Starfield, but that was only after Sony tried to get it as an exclusive themselves, so I dont feel sorry for them. 95% of folks are gonna play on PC anyway to mod the shit out of, right?
I also think the intention was to have the cloud stuff working a lot better so that you didnt HAVE to have an xbox, just games pass and a HDMI dongle thing, but clearly that never happened.
