Godzilla vs Ultraman needs to happen, all the same.
So, this morning's stupid is regarding home air-conditioning. During this time of year especially, I like to keep both the air AND the fan running. The air still cycles in and out dependent on the temp as it ought; and honestly - the fan constantly running serves to mask the air conditioner cycles, which tend to spoil my sleep somewhat through the day. I'm just wondering if there's any harm to be done from running the fan constantly AND having the air doing it's thing intermittently for 10-12 hours a day?
In case you're baffled, it's suddenly low 80's in the day, but nice mid-60's at night here.
Before I can attempt to answer this, I need to know more about the equipment in question. First, is your air conditioner a window-mounted unit, or is it a central air system built into the guts of the house? And second, is your fan a separate device, or is it built into the air conditioner?

It's a whole home central heat and air unit, fan included. I hear repairs on those can be ghastly, and I let my home warranty expire this year, so I'm trying not to mess things up too soon.

I'm perfectly happy eating unfrosted, untoasted pop-tarts straight from the box. Will ZAQB still love me?

Plain blueberry or strawberry and I'm happy. Full disclosure: I do usually toast them. It's just that it doesn't break my heart to just eat unfrosted, untoasted pop-tarts right out of the box. I feel like if more people spoke up about this, maybe then we could see a wave of change come over all of society towards people like me.

Actually, I think I've eaten more untoasted pop tarts than toasted. Not that I've eaten that many in total.

This (that's a link, although heaven knows it doesn't look like one) appears to be a reasonably trustworthy rundown of the issue. And you've heard right about the potential repair costs. Some stuff is cheap, but I had to get ours replaced last summer (the thing was so old that parts for it were no longer available), and the goddamned thing cost as much as a decent used car!

While it's been my lifelong dream to own a home of my own, I am dreading those inevitable expenditures down the road (roof/fridge/HVAC/pipes/etc). Unfortunately, I was able to access the page you linked to for only a second, before this awful pop-up would replace it (see attachment). When I tried to click "Not Now" or "Never" on the drop-down, it wouldn't budge, and I don't like being bullied by tech like that. so I couldn't really get a look. However, having seen the basic title, I now know how to word things, and hope to find the answers I need soon.

Sooo, is anyone planning on catching the new Godzilla movie in theaters? It looks like it could be good!

I'd like to, for sure. I'm wearing Godzilla jewelry right now to celebrate the advent season.

Do you ever get remarks from clients on your Godzilla jewelry? I wonder if there's any Mothra or Gamera jewelry out there...

He's TWELVE now?!? Haven't I been in touch with you online (through these boards we've inhabited) since your kid was a baby? Where does the time go?

I think the ones that do should get an automatic clean bill of health.
I mean, unless they're just screaming "MOPHRAAA!" while plucking their eyeballs out or something.
