    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.

    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?

    I feel like the Big 12 has to take another Pac-12 to keep things even. That would leave the Pac-12 with 8 teams, right? That’s pretty much a dead conference.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Getting in some twilight rounds might be your best bet. Get to the course a couple hours before sunset and walk 9. You can play until you can’t see any more as long as you don’t have a cart out on the course.

    If you take a cart, the boys in the cart barn probably won’t love this strategy
