    Well just out of curiosity I took an AQ test and got a 20. While of course that doesn’t mean much on it’s own I should probably talk to my therapist about being properly tested. Being diagnosed wouldn’t really change anything but it certainly would explain some things.

    This community is always a trip because every time I’m scrolling through all and I see a post like this that is completely relatable there is a 50/50 chance it is from this community. I didn’t think I was autistic but y’all are really making me start to wonder.


  • There is a lot of info they need that frankly you can’t trust the average client to accurately give over the phone. They need to know what your walls are made of, are they concrete, brick, wood or metal stud? Are they going to need masonry tools? What is the interior wall material; asbestos reinforced plaster is still not uncommon in older houses and if they’re working with that the the price goes up dramatically? Is there electricity run to that location already or will they need a new circuit? If there is electricity run to that location does the existing circuit have capacity to handle the load? Is there even available space to mount the new unit? Is it in a neighborhood where it will need a cage around it to deter theives? And that’s only some of the info they need.

    About the only accurate price they could give you over the phone is the cost of the unit itself which you could also just find via a google search. The actual labor and other costs will vary by orders of magnitude depending on certain conditions.


  • Unless you’re just talking about a minisplit or something $5k is remarkably cheap for a full AC install. Theres a big difference between throwing a window unit in and having an actual AC unit installed. You can’t just slap a second compressor on an existing condenser. It would need a second condenser or an upgrade and second circuit run for your existing one, plus running refrigerant pipes, likely running new wiring, ventilation, controls, refeigerant costs and system tuning. A window AC unit isn’t even in the same ballpark as far as price goes.


  • It’s a dynamically-sized list of objects of the same type stored contiguously in memory.

    dynamically-sized: The size of it can change as needed.

    list: It stores multiple things together.

    object: A bit of programmer defined data.

    of the same type: all the objects in the list are defined the same way

    stored contigiously in memory: if you think of memory as a bookshelf then all the objects on the list would be stored right next to each other on the bookshelf rather than spread across the bookshelf.
