Stanford and Cal reportedly exploring the possibility of joining the Big 12
  • Stanford and UC Berkeley feel better with the ACC because the ACC has strong academic institutions. The Big 12’s strongest school is Baylor at 77th. The ACC has Duke, UVA, UNC, Wake, and Notre Dame. All are top 30 schools in the country.

    They also don’t have the same level of hate that Big 12 schools have.

  • 14 days until my will to live comes back (cfb tools inside including a poll!)
  • I posted my poll. Here's the data I used to come up with my rankings. It's the final 2022 AP Poll, 2022 W/L, 2023 returning production, 2023 recruiting rankings from 247, my poll, the Coaches Poll, and the difference between mine and the coaches.

  • Need some help connecting a thermostat
  • Update for anyone who finds this post.

    I think this was the wrong thermostat for this type of AC. I went out and got an Ecobee to attach to the unit and it’s working great! I did have to call Ecobee to find that I had to change the O/B setting from its default but it’s working like a charm now!

    Need some help connecting a thermostat

    I have a PTAC unit in the room above my garage (Amana PTH123A35AC) that I'm trying to connect a thermostat (Honeywell 50018270-001) to. These are my current connections:

    | PTAC | Thermostat | | --- | --- | | B | B | | C | C | | GL | G | | R | R | | W2 | W | | Y/W1 | Y | | GH | Unused | | Unused | O | | Unused | Rc |

    The only thing that's not working is the cool setting. Heat and the fan are working fine. I have tried connecting R to Rc and B to O, but neither worked. I'm fairly certain I have something incorrectly wired here, but I'm just not sure which connection.

    PTAC Serial Number Decoded:

    • PTH: Standard Heat Pump PTHP
    • 12: 12,000 BTU/h, 60Hz
    • 3: 230/208V, 60Hz, 1 Phase
    • A: First Design Series
    • 35: 3.5 kW (230/208V)
    • AC: Standard Model

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why the cool setting isn't working?

    Basic, advanced, and optional ways to save money
  • It depends on the type of bread you’re looking to have. If you just want cheap sandwich bread, a grocery store will be cheaper. If you want to have a nice warm loaf to spread butter or jelly on, it will be cheaper with a bread maker. I think there is an assumption that you would also have most of the ingredients on hand. Yeast is the only specialty ingredient.

    Brian Harman takes the lead at The Open with a -6 on Friday

    Harman’s -6 is the low round of the day as he takes solo first at -10. He’s 5 strokes off the field with Tommy Fleetwood at -5 in solo second place.

    What would you do if you won the lottery?
  • Go find that old post from AskReddit and follow it to a tee.

    Outside of that, I'd probably buy a house closer to downtown, buy a new truck, and start to figure out how I can increase the quality of education in rural South Carolina.

  • How are you doing relative to the 1x by 30 / 2x by 35 / 3x by 40 salary rule for retirement savings?
  • At 29, we're at $170k in retirement funds with $150k household income. I've been lucky to max my 401k and Roth IRAs for both my wife and I the past two years. The biggest thing I've done to accomplish that is increasing my contribution with each pay raise I've gotten. Our net income hasn't increased much over the past 5 years, but our gross income has increased ~$60k.

    Every few months, I'll run the numbers on what is needed to retire and I think we're in pretty good shape. I intentionally don't include my wife's pension or Social Security in those calculations, which makes me feel a bit better about where we are.

    Year Age HHI Retirement
    2017 23 $95k $8,900
    2018 24 $100k $19,900
    2019 25 $110k $42,900
    2020 26 $120K $74,000
    2021 27 $135k $116,300
    2022 28 $140k $123,400
    2023* 29 $150k $171,900

    Should opening a link mark the post as read?

    Currently, it seems the post is only marked read if the comments are viewed.

    If I watched one game from each conference last season, what should I watch?

    For the SEC, maybe Alabama at Tennessee?

    How about the other conferences?
