If you're gaining heat from the winter sun you're likely losing more heat than you're gaining from poor insulation.
3000CFM is probably too much. Your exhaust needs to match your soffit intake in terms of how much air they move. You can't just exhaust air without replacing that air. Find a roofing contractor and not a handy man. If you're forcing 3000CFM out and your soffit vents combined allow for 1000CFM, there are still 2000CFM that need to come from somewhere and it could start coming from your conditioned space through air leaks from things like light fixtures and drywall gaps.
It sounds like you're wanting to vent the attic to cool the house? If so, insulation is your best bet. Yes it may also prevent you from gaining heat in the winter from the sun, but it will also keep the heat from your HVAC inside which is way more efficient than relying on an insignificant amount of heat from a winter sun. We recently increased our insulation to R50 and it has helped lower our bills and equal out the temperature of the house
That seems like a huge hassle for something completely unnecessary
Should be an easy fix. You need snow guards. I'm surprised whoever put the roof on didn't install them. You should probably have them anywhere that people walk below the roof line as a safety measure. They will hold back the snow and then as it melts it will run into the gutter you need to install. There are lots of different kinds but I would avoid plastic ones or ones that secure only by an adhesive. Depending on the slope, panel profile, and usual snow load you may need a couple of layers of them rather than just one row.
100% agree. So tired of seeing breweries making 5 different IPAs and just one or two other beers.
Im the reverse. I have Mail Plus and can't subscribe to Proton Pass unless I upgrade to Proton Unlimited. I do not need most of what comes with Unlimited though so it's a waste of money for me.
Sync actually helped me figure out that I can sign up for lemmy.this and still see stuff for lemmy.that. the organization is the tricky part it seems. I can look at the everything section and see it all but I would like to see an everything that includes my subscribed things (subreddits for lack of knowing the correct term) I'm sure that will come though as Sync gets more and more polished
I don't understand the point of him doing it. It will reduce funding, which is already a problem, and does nothing to help address test scores. The only thing Walters seems to do is point fingers and complain about districts without trying to do anything to help. If it's not about made up porn and indoctrination, he doesn't seem to care.
At the end of the day, there is only so much a school or teacher can do. They have these kids for 8 or 9 hours a day for 9ish months. They have to follow curriculum that can be very restricted, fit all the basic subjects into that span along with special subjects, lunch, recess, etc into that small window. Learning has to take place at home as well as school for kids to get the full benefit. I remember doing homework with my parents and flash cards and studying, all outside of school. Teachers today rarely give out homework because it never comes back to school. A lot of parents from these low income schools like TPS don't speak English and/or are struggling to put food on the table. Others just flat out don't want to or don't think they should have to be involved in helping their kids learn. One of the parents protesting in favor of Walters said he liked what he's doing because he's raising God fearing Christian kids. That's his choice and good for him if he thinks that's what he should do. The problem though is that it's HIS job to raise his kids that way. Not a school district. Not a teacher. Parents HAVE to be involved and take responsibility for education. They can't rely on schools and teachers to teach everything and parent their kids for them. Raise your kids yourself in the way you feel they should be raised and let the school teach. Without proper involvement from the parents the test scores will always struggle.
Lemmy being so confusing is partly why I was upset about Reddit taking a dump. I don't understand the difference in all the Lemmy things or what to sign up for. I was excited about Sync because it seems to make it easier to understand and see everything. I just want something that will replicate a frontpage which is what Sync is trying to do. I don't have the desire or time to learn the ins and outs of it all.
