Hang out in the cell phone lot until they text you to get them then it’s like 5-10 minutes

there is a government website that tells you and another one as well

most of our middle managers don't want to come in more than once a week or so

same with the NYC subways pre-covid. 3 days were bad and Friday half empty cause a lot of people worked remotely back then too. everyone came in on a tuesday or Wednesday cause it was a big 100 person meeting day

lots of high paying IT jobs being a peon and don't really care about going into management

Not my middle managers

My wife is a VP and has been trying to get people back in for once a week or so with no luck

Jewish holidays ended

unless these people use this stuff on a regular basis its a lost cause

​

my mom is like 72 and has been streaming only for years along with online shopping, etc. in-laws you show them stuff and they blow you off and throw out the written passwords and then wonder why nothing works and the world passes them by

​

I've been using free email for almost 25 years now, it's not like this stuff is new tech anymore

And the three quotes should be similar equipment

In homeowners people say to do this and everyone goes and gets quotes and they are all different from each other

Amana is USA but the parent is a Japanese company and Bosch is made by midea in China and just rebranded as Bosch

NTI

Even has WiFi and an app to control water temperature

I talked to 6 companies total. 2 never gave me quotes. 2 gave me what I didn't want. the two I considered the heating part was similar and they quoted me $15000 for a boiler replacement for a combi boiler and all new pipes, venting, etc.

​

the difference was the AC. at first I was going to go with bosch heat pumps but then changed to amana cause bosch supposedly has humidity issues

I think my boiler was 150,000 BTU so it's closer to $10,000 online for a 96% efficient unit before the installation

​

there was a bunch of people installing it for 4 days. all new condenser lines, electrical, new pipes for the boiler and water heater, etc. much better job than the previous owners I bought from where the wires to the condenser were twisted together

​

on hvac direct I priced out the hardware at around $28000 or so just for the condensers, air handlers and boiler. add the accessories and the labor and the extras like UV lights, thermostats, new valves, etc

i just spent $60000 for dual zone AC and combi boiler and water heater. top of the line inverter heat pumps, variable speed air handlers, 96 AFUE boiler. company did an amazing job and install took 4 days.

​

you can go cheap with single stage and regular 80 AFUE boiler but then you're not going to save money when the rates go up soon

you can take the train into hoboken and there is a PATH station right there. or just transfer at Secaucus for a penn station train
