Point it at the wall right next to it and see. I've noticed this on mine but it will match with the wall. The reflective comment could be. I've always assumed that it has to account for the slight heat that the thermostat generated just by running. My experience is with an ecobee smart thermostat so probably generate a a bit more heat.

What is a senior director of gift planning and how does that justify a salary of $260k?

Somebody needs to port this to mobile or something playable. Every year I remember this and want to play.

We only had an option to add an 18" to our kitchen. We're a family of 4 and it works well enough for us. We run it most days and twice on particularly heavy days. For us it was absolutely worth it and prevents constant arguments about having to hand wash dishes. 18"s are definitely less common than 24", but it's not like it's an obsolete or custom size, your going to be able to find them if needed.

Ripley's aquarium is in Gatlinburg, we went there last year during our vacation to the Smokey Mountains and thought it was awesome. We haven't been to a lot of aquariums, but it's the best I've been to.

What is the advantage of having a dedicated phone vs using your everyday phone?

The delta flyer looks pretty good for that scale

Thanks! That's like a honeycomb print, fluval does that on a lot of their tanks. Claims it hides the water level and any calcium buildup

Wow, I admit that I was wrong and I learned something and that's the response I get, pretty awesome community. I've heard this arguments for years, but never science to it. I'm open minded enough to take new information and science into account and adjust my opinion on things, which you know in today's world is not that common. But sure I'm the jackass. Thanks

I've never understood this argument to start school later. Shouldn't the kids just go to bed earlier? If school starts later aren't they just going to stay up later? The amount I sleep is usually a choice on at least one side of the equation.

Edit- Actually read the article, apparently there's a actually some science to it, interesting
