If no patients were around then an excited utterance gets a free pass.

Found the op’s coworker.

it’s not very professional to use that kind of language in a work setting.

That depends massively on the profession, setting, and context.

Restaurant kitchen where something gets spilled, a trade where something unexpectedly breaks, a couple lawyers without anyone else around finding out their client is on camera admitting to the crime, etc. are all fine to say a calm ‘oh fuck’ as a reaction. Someone in an open office who yelled it because their code didn’t compile would not be acting very professional.

Spring forward fucks with me.

Fall back is just annoying because I get the sun right in the eyes on the drive to work again.

There were plenty of users with high karma that weren’t worth engaging with too.

It only helped with lbvious jerks that you could probably tell were terrible just by reading their post.

Only lick the soldering iron when it’s turned on.

Hey siri, how do I arouse a soldering iron?

I’m not about the percentage, but due to lead’s toxicity it is probably more important to avoid touching or breathing in funes from lead soldier as much as possible. Beyond that wearing proper gloves and masks to avoid inhaling fumes will be safer than touching it and trying to wash it off.

Whatever other steps you take, stop licking the soldering iron.

Most likely a conbination of the amount of sun exposure and other poaitive genetic mutations that happened alongside melanin levels.

An example of the complexity of genetic changes being intertwined is resistance to malaria and sickle cell anemia. The benefits of resistance to sickle cell anemia outweigh the negstives of the increased chance of sickle cell anemia so the mutation has persisted.

It is likely that North African populations had something that was beneficial as a tradeoff for their comparably lighter skin. Wearing clothing that covers a lot more of their body and having shelters from the sun could also help to mitigate some of the sun damage.

So it is complicated and most differences are due to a combination of genetic traits, they don’t get passed down one trait at a time.

Her boots are covered in the blood of innocent altar boys.

News articles that use slam and other internet clickbait title terminology.

One party does it based on reality and the other based on whatever they made up that is getting traction with their userbase.

Surely they can’t all be this dumb.

They are that dumb.

We already had four years so technically we would only get another four.

Until SCOTUS says the constitution isn’t constitutional and gives him a literal crown.

Nominating judges that will throw out your cases on fictional grounds helps too!

You just described a poorly managed company, which only continues to exist as a capitalist vulture that feeds on other companies.

Poorly managed can still make profit by running companies into the ground.

A business only needs to do layoffs when it is managed poorly.

With less heavy breathing I hope.

Forever, because X looks like a placeholder and media wants to be clear so they use the name that people actually associate with that trash website. It will never just be X because it is a terrible name for a business.

In that case, I still recommend turning on the main thermostat but setting it very low so it only kicks on during extremely low temps as this can help with comfort without much cost at all. The space heater would then do the job in the room you care about to save costs.

One other thing that I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere and I forgot myself is humidity. While a heater isn’t going to change the humidity like an air conditioner that is cooling does, the fan in the unit can even out the humidity in the house and humidity can have a big impact on how the temp feels. Depending on the size of the room and how much air gets circulated, your presence could have a significant impact on the humidity levels.

I would recommend that whether you run the central at a low temp or not, running the fan for a bit once in a while would be a huge benefit to the home. You don’t even need to turn on the heat for that, just the blower. This will help to reduce any damage from condensation throughout the house, and you don’t need to open your room to get the benefit. Within the room you are using it might be a good idea to check the humidity levels and look up what the best humidity is for the temp you are aiming for. While that might mean getting a humidifier or dehumidifier if the room is way off, that will most likely be a lot less expensive than the heating cost and you might even find a slightly lower temp comfortable and save more than you spent on adjusting the humidity.

How cold does it get where you live and which sides are the room and living room on compared to the coldest wind?

If the room you use is on the north side and the cold wind comes from the north, that electric heater is going to get a workout and you lose the advantage of the house having a heat mass that can even out the need to hwat the one room.

If the room is on the south side away from the wind the rest of the house would be a bit of a buffer, making heating only that room less of an energy simk. The number of windows and other ways to lose heat will matter too. If the living room has a lot of windows and other ways to leak heat then not heating it could be an advantage.

If it gets to freezing where you are at I would suggest a combined solution if possible. Set the central heat to a temp a bit above freezing to keep the pipes from bursting (around 55 F) and shut the ducts to rooms you don’t care about. The difference in temp to the outside temp is what uses the most energy, and closing that difference has a huge difference on energy costs. Then use the space heater in the room you do care about to reach the temp you want.

This will result in the central unit doing a lot less work than it would to bring the whole house up to temp, but the portable unit wouldn’t need to heat the the room and the interior walls nearly as much becuae it would be heating the difference between the central unit at the desired temp. This will probably be the most comfortable/consistent arrangement and likely close in cost to just doing the room by itself.
