  • I’m just here to tell you that anybody that says to talk to a lawyer is a jackass and is talking out their ass.

    You do not deal with these matters in regular civil court, these are handled directly through whatever tenany board is in your region. Start by contacting them and ignore all the other nonsense about contacting attorneys, it’s a waste of time because all the attorney will tell you to do is to contact the tenancy board.









  • Truly It’s not my line of work so I’m not going to start randomly recommending products, I don’t think it’s fair to talk out my ass hahaha

    What I can say however, is the reason I was so bold in my assertion previously, was that I personally do a lot of hobbyist electronics, and wiring up temperature sensors is very simple. It’s very much a trivial aspect to basic circuitry, because heat is such an aspect. It’s in your most basic things from coffee pots to hair dryers but even down to smaller electronics, bulbs and projectors, everything really in its own way.

    And then my father was a highly trained meteorologist with the government of Canada for 43 years and then another 10 of consultancy, they scouted him because he was the 100% in all courses math superstar at his university for his year.

    My father taught me a lot about how heat is measured and it’s a huge concern in a way that the average weather watcher doesn’t understand. It’s talked about in Watts per Square Meter. So that could be how much heat a structure may absorb per square meter, or perhaps how much heat is dissipated per second in a certain wind.

    That’s a major and primary concern of anyone in the agriculture industry, think for example a farmer that holds a barn full of cattle, he absolutely needs to know how much heat that building’s going to dissipate so he can plan for heating.

    But it doesn’t end there, it goes into so many different areas where heat is an issue, and weather is the primary driver of heat transfer.

    So I guess in summary, a solution is trivial, I’m not sure if there’s an official product, but we’re not talking rocket science! Edit: I guess in a way it’s pretty cool and it’s pretty complicated, but the thinkings has all been done by people smarter than me I’m just saying it can be put together and lots of people probably do this every day.

    Edit2: I guess also my brother-in-law was a graduate of 4-year electronics program and he ended up working at our local eh price where he designed some forms of heating control systems but to what degree I know not. We talked a bit about some of the egghead stuff so I think in summary it’s doable.


  • You don’t need to go to that level of complication.

    Two sensors in combination, one that detects current heat input one that detects absorbed heat. These modules would be placed about the outer walls.

    Then calculate how much heat is going to radiate into the building the rest of the day.

    And it can compensate.

    We don’t need to be more than a fraction of a degree off and a system like that would be amply accurate.


  • I have to say for me, I know this won’t be everybody, my favorites are going to be the ones that change the way I felt about gaming, not necessarily ones that I would want to play again.

    In fact, I have found that going back to some of the seminal games, or the ones that were most impactful to me, hurt my feelings because they were from a time… Where let’s be real, technical limitations made a lot of very basic quality of life things nearly unavailable.

    I think the 1st that changed the way I felt about gaming was Ultima 4 - they had flushed out the systems of the earlier three, which were pretty primitive, and made morality, all kinds of wonderful internal game systems, relationships, secrets, optional paths, total exploration. 5 and 6 were games that I explored and played molecularly because they were just a joy for me as well.

    Another one I talk about a lot is a game called Squares Deluxe which the developer thankfully changed as freeware a few years ago. So anybody with DOSBox can download it and play it legally, and in my view, it’s the best shape packing game ever made - there are so many amazing mechanics, and if you play Extreme mode and get a great run going, it can be the most thrilling experience!

    How can I forget the very first game I played in arcades which was Atari Warlords at Fiesta Foods! I was bedazzled by the cabinet and I had to have a teenager explain to me what it was! I went flying home and explained what I saw to my mother and she was incredulous, and she took me back to play!

    Runestone Keeper. I know that really if you distill it down, you’re kind of playing a probability-based card / slot machine game. But play your choice is broad, and I love the fact that the entire playfield changes with every move potentially. Yes you can get screwed over, yes you can have amazing runs, but it’s that unpredictability that keeps me salivating. I can’t actually recommend anybody play this outside of steam version because the app one keeps changing - I’ve bought it a few times and I keep losing my license/progress when they change publisher agreements, to hell with that noise!





  • I think the issue has s largely been explored and solved but I’d like to add something to the mix.

    Complexes have hot water pipes running from the water heaters on the lowest floor up to all the suites. Usually they are stationed somewhere around the center of the main building, sandwiched between a commons hallway wall and an apartment wall.

    The amount of heat that these can radiate is insane, especially if there’s a hot water circulation system in the building.
