Weird question: Attic fans
3
Hi, hive mind! ? Last summer a workman installed a new attic fan to replace one that burned its engine out when something gummed up the blades. I was told the new one would automatically turn itself on and off based on the temperature. It isn¡¯t. It¡¯s still running. I feel nervous about it. Should I leave it alone? Unplug it? Call another workman? What kind? Replace the fan again? Color me confused. Thank you in advance!! PF Anderson, pfa@... Emerging Technologies Informationist, University of Michigan http://www.lib.umich.edu/users/pfa ORCID: 0000-0001-6348-2324 Hear my name Pronouns: all pronouns acceptable My working hours may not be your working hours. Please do not feel obligated to reply outside of your work schedule. The University of Michigan is located on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe people. In 1817, the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodewadami Nations made the largest single land transfer to the University of Michigan. This was offered ceremonially as a gift through the Treaty at the Foot of the Rapids so that their children could be educated. Through these words of acknowledgement, their contemporary and ancestral ties to the land and their contributions to the University are renewed and reaffirmed.

We were at Evergreen on Plymouth last week, 5 people attended. The two weeks after this have both Xmas and New Year's falling on a Wednesday, and the group decided we should skip those weeks rather than pushing the meet to another day. So, this week is the last meeting for 2024. Thisweek, we return to Dalat Vietnamese Cuisine in the Busch/CVS shopping center on Ann Arbor-Saline road. The last time we were there was on 18 December 2024. Please RSVP if you know your plans so we know how many seats to save. Menu available to peruse in advance at https://www.dalatrestaurantannarbor.com/. You can't order Bi-Bim-Bop, but there are lots of good Vietnamese dishes. Roy Dalat Restaurant 2216 S. Main St.

Below is the tracking history for a package sent to me, read from the bottom up. Three times it hit Detroit and flung to another location before finally making it to Ann Arbor. The package itself was unremarkable in appearance when it arrived, so no scan issues, etc. No idea why this one was so unlucky.

Web developer for nonprofits
Hi¡ª I retired from doing websites a year and a half ago, but I still have a couple of clients call or email me occasionally to discuss problems with a website or to implement new features. For example, one of them just emailed me to add some forms to their WordPress site. None of these things is difficult or all that time-consuming, but I¡¯d like to just step back entirely. So, my question is is there someone on this list who might be in taking over for me or does anyone know of someone who might be interested in doing so? I generally get some payment for doing these things, but because they¡¯re nonprofits, I haven¡¯t been charging all that much. Let me know... Dan Romanchik

Recommendation for radon mitigation installer?
7
Hello all, About a year ago, there was a discussion on this list of the Airthings air quality monitor, and we bought one. At first, it simply indicated that our CO2 was higher when more of us were in the house, but in recent months, the radon levels have been more worrisome. So, with that in mind, I'm looking for recommendations of installers of radon mitigation systems. I had a look on Angi.com, and there is only one listed. Thank you in advance for any leads! Katherine

Hi, all! I know I haven't been able to attend for a while, sometimes because of meetings, sometimes because of transportation. That said, I know this group has rich, deep, wonderful knowledge of local restaurants, and I am in need of a recommendation. Criteria: 1) small group rooms can be reserved 2) has a gluten free menu options 3) we want to schedule it ASAP for a small holiday group in early December (so running out of time). Current suggestions: Marnee Thai (which is closed, but I heard a rumor they reopened in a new location under a different name?) Cuisines - Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican recommended Recommendations? THANK YOU! -- PF Anderson, pfa@...

What does the group think? A) Go there, they'll still have fresh food next Wednesday. B) Avoid, they're probably running out their supplies before closing. I could go either way. Roy
