Omg more snow ughhhh yuck!

Finally heat! Turns out the aux heat fired so many times that it burnt through a wire and furnace tripped and shut down for safety. I had to taper some ambitious settings on ecobee as well but hey the desi guy was awesome and charged me very little for his work even though I insisted it’s not something he would have caught easily.

Part of me thinks my furnace woes are probably because of ecobee. I have not been a fan of these devices from day 1, but now I am really tempted to just replace them and go back Google Nest which i used to love.

Its insane to me a company of Apple’s size could not find a way (read: Buy their way) out of the blood oxygen dispute. Like really? This is a company that’s charging nearly 40 bucks a month for their iCloud service but can’t find a way to pay royalties that other company deserves? BS.

Well fuckity fuck. This morning our electric furnace conked off. No power cycling, circuit cycling or anything helping. Its dead. Dead as in like dead dodo. I have a hvac guy coming in afternoon but I hate hate hate these electric furnaces. Fucking pieces of shit. Well I hope its not a serious fix to this. Luckily our upstairs furnace is working so small mercies!

Of all things a potential Iran Pakistan war was not my on 2024 bingo card list.

I need to move to Lisbon or Barcelona and escape this winter forever! Where is the fucking global warming? Just warm the damn earth already!

I hope now that the Ram Mandir is finally opening in Ayodhya, a generation of Hindus finally find the peace and honor they’ve been chasing for decades. I hope a generation of Hindus finally feel like their quest that started in 1980s has finally been fulfilled, 4 decades later. I hope they find the grace within themselves to feel content and wish for no more newer quests. Who am I kidding though? My uncle already sent a WhatsApp forward with a crying Krishna’s picture with words *Why are you worrying Krishna? Modi will build your temple at Mathura next*.

I think a lot is being said about De Santis losing Iowa. The only reason he lost is because republicans remain the rabid pigs that they are and voted for an even more rabid orange pig. If that orange pig didn’t exist these scums would have voted the next rabid pig in line – aka De Santis. Don’t worry he has a lot of time yet.

It’s 11F / feels like 0F outside this morning and my electric heaters are having a very hard time keeping up. The aux heat hasn’t stopped firing (good luck to my electric bills!) and it’s struggling to keep the temperature afloat. Hopefully this week is the last of this winter, and February is warmer. That said another 5” snow event on Friday and I am already like ugh no.
