Why not just turn it off?

I would if I knew how to! I tried the app AND on the website AND on the thermostat itself and they all say OFF but it still blows and blows. I have a wool sweater on now and socks (I hate socks so you know this is dire).

turn the unit off

Not that it's a big difference but the guy who tacitly supports Antifa barely won over the woman who says she is Antifa.

turn the unit off

I... isn't that what I'm doing? Sorry, I am utterly clueless about these things. I put a call into the maintenance guy but I don't know when he'll get back to me. Alex is not here either but I suspect this isn't in his wheelhouse either.

Cat was sitting on me, went to get a drink and Dog took over my seat.

 

Anyway there is an Air Con unit somewhere, one per flat?, so turn the power off?

Good idea but it magically turned itself off. I don't know what happened.

 

The animal situation sounds like a quality problem.

Animal situation seems more a quantity issue

It was raining cats and dogs recently.

During the height of the storm, it was St. Bernards and Maine Coons.

At the tail end, it dropped a last few Chihuahuas, then stopped.

Well, pretty much nothing happened in the LA area last night. There were some arrests downtown, but reportedly no property damage. I think one person assaulted a cop, not sure what that was about. Reporters and legal observers and even some people just waiting for a Metro train got swept up in the arrests, but all of that prep was for basically nothing. Which is good! I didn't hear about anything happening here in SM. The only upshot of this all is that my awful ex Voldy decamped to SM as well saying he didn't feel safe in downtown LA against all the Antifa thugs who would be crawling all over themselves to beat up one of Mr. Trump's supporters. 🙄 I don't have to see him, of course, but knowing he is within blocks isn't my idea of fun.

 

Also, and off topic, but does anyone know anything about Google Nest thermostats? Mine is stuck on and won't turn off -- it's freezing in here. 

Gotta love technology.  Maybe you can tell Alexa to turn it off.

I was on my way to Costco tonight and in my little conservative town I ran into a group of right wing protesters.  I even thought about joining them, but I needed to try and get some toilet paper and paper towels before it was all gone again.

 

They were in the streets, well... actually at the street corner on the sidewalk, with American flags and Trump flags and posters saying "stop the election theft" or something like that.  

 

I'll probably go back later to see when the looting starts.

Sadly I think you will be disappointed.

 

Any ANTIFA/BLM around?

Please update us, I'm on pins and needles with anticipation.

 

This is some disappointing right wing extremism, right now the best the left have is Steve Bannon throwing tantrums and saying words about arresting and heads on a pike.

Then again our town is made up of mostly successful well educated mature people.

Just like with extremists in the 60s, people like Antifa don't stop with the riots and violence on their own or from the good of their heart, not until people start putting holes in them for their effort and consistently demonstrating a spine. Then they kindly slither back under their rock. If you notice, Oregon has decided to start using their national guard again.
