@jhallwood Turns out they were looking for a woman accused of theft. Description was "black cocktail dress". I found the aggression utterly amazing, not too mention the obvious fact that every third woman was dressed the same way.
@jhallwood I was in Vegas in 2017, me and two Americans -husband/wife, reasonably drunk but sitting at some kind of food place off the strip. Two cops grabbed the wife, handcuffed and questioned her against a glass wall as me and husband tried to figure out what was going on.
@guidoacasa@rcolvile@CeeElexF I think the PD rules might have changed actually. Or it's not really clear if AC units meet MCS 020; can't remember the exact details but looked confusing when I tried to have it put in.
@RokoMijic@bobbybroccs@isnit0 Is it? Most common seems to be 7k which isn't a big difference.
I feel basically you're talking at cross purposes. It's clearly not optimal, however it was unclear when I had a split system whether recent building regs changes meant split required planning permission.
@RokoMijic@bobbybroccs@isnit0 Split also required a scaffolding tower, would have meant the wall unit being directly over my desk due to room constraints, and likely only used 4-5 weeks a year.
Seems these portable units are fine for the narrow use case people buy them for.
@RokoMijic@bobbybroccs@isnit0 This seems to be nonsense. My loft office is ~12ยฐc cooler than it was yesterday. Variable that changed was a 10k BTU portable ac arriving.
@JoshHochschild@mka_ultra The choice is either 1) stop selling low vol books; or 2) sell POD versions.
The margin will not be better in 2, it just makes the sale of those books possible at all.
@JoshHochschild@mka_ultra Argh. What you're comparing is:
1) print run for oop low volume sold books = loss
2) POD for those books, probs small per unit profit. Print cost probably $7 or so, vs $2.50 for print run.
Margin still needs to be shared w/ bookseller, plus overheads.
