how hot do you think the air coming out of a duct is? Also, this isn’t a discussion about what codes allow, this is about what happens in practice.

Its hot enough to catch wood on fire… thats why metal ducts have very specific code clearances to combustible’s… yikes… yeah thats the education level on this topic here…? The duct gets a lot hotter than the air coming out of it… try touching an operating one sometime…

It’s not a thing in real life either…

HVAC techs will use the anemometer that’s part of their standard kit, they aren’t going to tie a fire hazard that collects dust to a duct….

If you see them left behind, that’s because the company was too cheap to cleanup their garbage, they would ONLY be used while the techs were actively diagnosing a persistent issue, but it should be removed when done.

Why do people perpetuate obvious fake Hollywood stuff? Do you think code will allow you to permanently affix something flammable to a duct that would be heated and can catch it on fire……?

In my first comment I explained how it’s used in COMMERCIAL buildings.

And techs will use tools instead of ribbons, since tying ribbons to ducts, attract dust and can be a fire hazard, most codes explicitly forbid their use.

And great story about the hack company fixing your MUA and leaving their garbage behind since they were too cheap to pay someone to remove stuff they shouldn’t have put in in the first place.

It’s always funny when laymen’s try to say something they saw a hack doing is somehow an industry standard technique or something…. Anemometers are cheap and standard hvac tech equipment. Gives you an exact answer instead of, it flutters….

It’s a Hollywood trope, full stop. People think it’s used in real life since people see the trope and some idiot desk worker wants to think their AC isn’t working.

HVAC techs aren’t going around tying fire hazards that’ll collect dust and look like garbage in 2 weeks to vents people…. Hollywood really loves exposing rubes with these hella obvious fake tropes…

The practice is only used when the vents are hard to reach, Hollywood puts them eveyrwhere, like OP said behind a toilet, where the technician can easily verify by hand or with the actual tool to measure airflow so they have an actual metric to see if it’s deteriorating.

Its a Hollywood trope.

Why would you be using a camera? Is Hollywood inside you house lmfao. The vents are also easily reachable without a ladder, so you wouldn’t need a camera anyways? So why are you suggesting a camera?

This isn’t a thing in real life, never has, never will be. It’s a Hollywood trope…. Let’s see someone post a picture from their house, this isn’t a thing and people here are yanking your chain OP.

Idk, usually I can just tell when I get hot or cold if the central air isn’t working myself.

It’s a thing for commercial buildings with stuff high up snd you can’t feel the draft from without a ladder, but not in houses or trains or anywhere else Hollywood slaps them. It’s not a thing, why are so many people trying to claim it is? Lol

Let’s see yours on your vents if it’s a thing then.

It don’t look like mold, and I’m not saying it is or isn’t.

BUT, there is many different type of trichomes actually, some do look like stringy/webby. Google can be your friend here use “different trichomes” as a stepping off point.

The other Q though would be do you have pets or work around them? Could be pet hair getting in the goods.

As president, I officially declare Trump a terrorist and award a $5 million bounty for his head on a copper platter.

Slang is actually a better way to communicate. You can communicate more, in a shorter amount of time, language is fluid, luddites gonna Luddite.

Those words never came out of my mouth you petulant troll.

You kept repeating the phrase, and I kept ignoring it since it was the most obvious bait ever.

I get some people like what you do here, but you also cause a larger amount of people shit with your on and off ignorance. It’s obvious its attention seeking, get off social media and read a fucking book or do something with your “sad pitiful” life. You’re not incapable of working if you can spend this much time commenting on fucking social media.

Yeesh dude….

Yes you can, avoid social media, read a book.

And you’re the one responding to me now, why are YOU continuing it. Yes you crave attention, but this isn’t the attention you need for your mental health dude.

You would be a case study on what not to do.

Watch tv, read a book, play video games, learn a job you can do while sitting a computer.

Come on dude, take a little personal accountability, I’m dealing with multiple disabilities myself, I don’t use it as an excuse to be a miserable dick online.

You know, there comes a point when you should also realize the shit you cause other people when you just spew stuff online.

Take a break once in a while dude.

If you see an asshole in the morning, you saw an asshole, if you see assholes all day, you’re the asshole.

Sorry yeah, that was definitely rude, having a bad morning, figured like you replied to a response to them and just didn’t read the comment… so common these days unfortunately.

Which has nothing to do with Spotify’s relationship to their customer, or elevators in buildings….

That’s not an answer, that’s googling something and providing something everyone here has probably seen. And that’s probably exactly what they saw and decided to parrot without comprehending it has nothing to do with the topic, now there’s entire discussions of people defending and discussing it.

Idiots that see your link, are going to think that it agrees with the moron since it’s shown as “proof”.

What a bunch of fucking morons here yeesh. You’re also talking about licensing like it applies as well along with them, so yeah not you aren’t “just” doing that, you’re perpetuating this misinformation.

Thats FOR EMPLOYERS AND NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BLOODY TOPIC AT HAND.

employer

Is Spotify an employer to their customers…?

Radio to the general public?

An elevator in a building…?

Did you do what they did and google something and read the first two lines only….?

I checked their webesite/app, that was mentioned that all features require payment.

Do people not read about apps before using them or something? Thats so strange, if I wanted to learn a language, I would make sure that’s possible with the app before using it myself.

But is the test worth anything more than just a little ego boost and online award? Isn’t the lessons enough anyways?

Larger ships have to be towed by tugs.

Yes that was addressed in the comment.
