Roughly 13" x 10" x 29" I sent the data sheet... and just measured, so it may fit up in the joists, which are slightly over 13" apart. You'll appreciate the control terminals on page 3 of the pdf. I'll automate it off during wildfire smoke, for instance.

It's yet to go in, so not finalized where it's going. But no, it's smaller than a furnace, and (the one on order is) too large to fit in the floor joists... so it'll likely hang below the joists on the back wall of the basement, sitting there looking like an octopus (quadropus?)

I'm probably most excited about the ERV. If you don't know about these things, they're worth investigating. The more I seal up the house for efficiency, the more the co2 sensors tick up. Really looking forward to fresh air without having to open a window to the outside temp and humidity

I'm bleeding money right now, but the quality of life improvements are really stacking up. High efficiency furnace, grounded electrical panel + new mains, bathroom exhaust fan, bidet, ERV (!), top close chimney damper, 4 wire to the kitchen stove, new attic insulation... Like a whole new house!

You could do it like the ENT professor i have right now. His one simple trick is to avoid teaching altogether. Last week he spent 45 minutes walking us through his chatgpt history, asking it (mostly unsuccessfully) to make pricing trend graphs. He calls it "research"

YO! I just had* to yell at your flyer people for just throwing them on porches. That's basically just littering in my neighborhood. A little wind and they're floating down the street... As I said to them, "Littering isn't cool OR progressive" Please have them do better.

Ope, better boot that guy, neighbors. Housing density is better for everyone in a city because it concentrates resources, both inputs and outputs. It's what makes cities, cities. If you don't like density, there's always the option to commute from sprawling suburbs.

Davey @detroitgoose.com · 28/09/2026

Fwiw, everything that's a crossover or larger is regulated at a "non passenger work vehicle" and not subject to the same safety and efficiency standards as "cars", so I'm not sure this really has an effect on the most vehicles on the road.

You're thinking too hard. Simply hold the people who deploy dangerous or unethical software accountable like we would for any other tech. These systems all rely on real-life people making choices.

Hannah Fry, in a recent episode of "The Rest Is Science", brought up how it bugs her that (to paraphrase) the test is masculinity: You are either masculine, emasculated/effeminate, or feminine. There are no words for "less feminine" without masculinity. Thought this may relate somehow.

I dunno about the "deserved" part but if you look at the kill ratio between usa (service members + 9/11 victims) compared to Iraq + Afghanistan (civilians only), it really gives some perspective

Even in my own team. I told the person, "that's an ai overview, we need sources" to which she replied "he told us we can use ai." Fortunately, as otherwise brain dead as the prof is, they called out ai overviews as "not a source." This is a 300 level class...

000

Davey @detroitgoose.com · 25/09/2026

The other day in a class where the professor is hyper pro ai, he asked us to look up topics and tell the class "what has happened recently to _______'s price" with sources. Multiple kids sourced Google's ai overview 🫣

I've never told this story out of any sort of reverence for T Pain... only to point out how weird it is to go out of your way to tell strangers who you are. If you could read my face after this, it probably said, "Good for you?"

And, although it says on their system that they sent the reminders and forms via usps, the mail never arrived. My "informed delivery" account shows all my mail, so I know I'm not insane.

Davey @detroitgoose.com · 22/09/2026

The form that was accepted last time is not necessarily the form they expect this time. And, most forms aren't available online. It took me a full hour waiting for the local office to print a 2 page form for me the other day.

I've gotten used to getting kicked off at every 6 month review, then jumping through the hoops to have it reinstated. It's like taking on a second job just trying to make sense of it. My friend lost her health care because of procedural issues. It's so stressful that she hasn't reapplied

Ya, it started as a carve out for AMC/jeep and was later co-opted by every other manufacturer to increase margins. I bet most people don't realize that most vehicles on the road (everything crossover and larger) are "non passenger work vehicles" without federal safety and efficiency standards.

Coincidentally, Dan Gilbert already bought most of downtown Detroit thanks to all the massive profit and depressed property value resulting from the predatory loans (and subsequent derivative trading) that caused the 2007 market crash.

Fix that loophole so they have standardized federal regulations on all personal commuter vehicles, and I'll go along with banning the competition from China.

020

Davey @detroitgoose.com · 15/09/2026

Moreover, they take advantage of a loophole that regulates large vehicles (crossover and larger) as "non passenger work vehicles" so they don't have the same efficiency and safety standards as cars. They can't possibly compete. They're making too much money for substandard vehicles. Why would they?

130

Davey @detroitgoose.com · 15/09/2026

"But the market demand larger vehicles! We're only responding to demand!" No. They force that on us on the supply side, in part because their margins are so much higher on large vehicles. They also reinforce the myth that large vehicles are safer, while collisions become more deadly.

Davey @detroitgoose.com · 15/09/2026

They got beat in production in the 70s by the Japanese, they got protected by the government, and they learned no lessons. Same story today. They can't adapt, so we bail them out, over and over. I can barely find a low-cost small efficient car, lots are all trucks and suvs. Let them adapt or fail

Then there's no rush
