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.

    Johnny Manziel and the tragedy of a fallen football idol
  • I just watched the documentary and it's very solid. It's kind of nice to remember how much fun his freshman season was to watch.

    I'm surprised Netflix didn't try to stretch it out into a 6-part series

    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 no idea why I didn’t think to read the thermostat manual. I have read this PTAC manual so many times trying to figure this out.

    I’ll give this a shot! Thanks man!

  • 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.

    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.

    What's the craziest thing we just take as granted?
  • Banks use your money to invest. They only have to have a small percentage of their holdings in cash on hand so they can invest, make money, and pay you interest.

    Your money isn’t just sitting in a vault at your local Bank of America branch.

    Is it worth paying the reaminder of my car loan off?
  • High yield savings accounts are over 4% but their rates fluctuate. I put money in at Ally a few months ago when they were near 3%.

    It’s a nice way to park some cash that is easy to get in an emergency.

  • 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?
