@sabriath I think you need help, possibly in the form of anger management.

sabriath @ 1:21 pm #

@jorgekluney : that’s odd, cuz when I wrote “eat a dick” I was laughing hysterically the whole time. I was not angry at all. You used a quick phrase to punch me, and I just quick phrased uppercutted you. That’s all. Now that you wrote a sentence that was not childish, I figured you were man enough to understand these words I’m typing now.

If you truly think this “how to” explains even the slightest of how an AC works, then good luck landing an hvac job.

I didn’t try to “punch you” with any phrase.
Also, I don’t know you…. so how am I supposed to know the context of it in your mind when you tell me to “eat a dick”?

sabriath @ 11:19 pm #

@jorgekluney : you replied to my first statement of “grow up” <– seemed like a quick insult to me….or did you mean that toward someone else?

@sabriath

You obviously have no knowledge whatsoever about principles of thermal exchange, just because you decided to throw in the acronym ‘HVAC’ (which, might I add, should be capitalised, does not mean you know anything about the industry. I have worked in ‘hvac’ -lower case as YOU idiotically call it…. for 38 years and you clearly have no idea

sabriath @ 8:58 am #

@jetskiface99 : “HVAC” stands for “heating ventilating and air conditioning”….if you were in the field for 38 years, then you would fucking know that you dumbshit. As for capitalization, I don’t need to capitalize shit, it’s not like I’m writing for the new york press (yeah, I didn’t capitalize the state, what now fuck face?)
I said they didn’t explain HOW ac works, they only explained circulation. They didn’t explain that R-fluid has a lower boiling point, or expansion chamber. idiot

the compressor seems scary

I dont have a big “box” in my backyard…and if I did I would just be completely baffled as to what it is…and the Trane logo on the side wouldnt help any…(sarcasm).

I think we forgot to touch down more on the compressor, evaporator, and exactly what this “liquid” is. I will say, I already know everything about AC, but just watched this for kicks!
