Maybe I’ve asked this before. I don’t know and I have no idea how I would begin finding out. So can someone explain to me the complexities that go into turning the heat for an entire apartment building on and off? Is it harder than click? I hope it is, because in spite of the …
Coming to you live from one of our nice lawn chairs that some dickhead pigeons have pecked the hell out of, it’s…a post about stuff! Yay! Right now you’re all sharing my first nice weather beer of 2023 with me. Thank you for being here. It means the world. And before you ask, no, I …
