I'm going to have a bit of a #tech#rant (less charitable people might say #whine) here. If you just want jokes and cute bunny pictures, feel free to skip this one.
Object of my #ire this week? #Furnaces. I'm not even going to rant about their main control boards; most of that's been said better than I could say it, by others with more knowledge than I.
Those simple, reliable AC motors generally only run at one speed. They have no easy way to run them "#high" and "#low" like this.
When I replaced the furnace in my previous house, the new one had what was fairly new furnace technology at the time - its blower motor was a #DC motor. I think it was a permanent-magnet brushless motor, though I can't swear to that.

In #High School, in the early 1960s, despite having watched all too many movies about World War Two, #Nazis, and “Good Germans,” I still didn’t get it. How could so many typical, normal, caring, DNA-inscribed human beings become active advocates of or at most sedentary critics of the rise of #Facism and its deployment against so many other caring #human beings?
