If they change it off the default password then you would need someone to actually remember the password or at least write it down somewhere. Every time I have to factory default a controller because nobody knows what the password was set to I lose a little more will to live. Luckily, the admin credentials are usually just written in marker on the control panel right next to the controller in question.
Even easier. You can still have the monitoring system online. Just don’t put the fucking controls online. To be fair to the store owners though, the controls companies push hard “everything in one place” online portals for their equipment now a days. But, if you ask me, your monitoring system should be entirely separate from the control system. That adds a bit of redundancy in case of faulty sensors. I’ve seen it plenty of times before where a misplaced temp sensor for the control system will cause a case to run too warm or too cold without anyone knowing because they’re only looking at the temp shown on the main controller. The temp sensor you’re monitoring shouldn’t be the same temp sensor that’s controlling the system.
You can have online monitoring without putting the controls online. Online controls are profoundly dumb but these big chains like it because it means that no one onsite actually needs to know how the equipment works. I’ll take an old school mechanically controlled refrigeration rack any day over one where I need to navigate a fucking phone tree with the management company to get a setting changed.
I’m a straightish 6’ dude built like a plumber but the lesbians in my DnD group declared me an honorary lesbian.
Are you thinking water heater or filter? Because I’ve never seen a water softener that can fit under a sink or on a showerhead. Unless you’re talking about phosphate feeder cartridges but those don’t actually soften water they just help keep limescale from sticking.
got stuck with one of those whole-house water softeners.
Wait, what other kind of water softener is there? Maybe it’s just because I live in an area where our water is practically more limestone than water, but I’ve only ever heard of whole house water softener.
As far as the rest of your comment. My experience is slightly different. I have several older relatives who have no known mental issues who have the same issues as your mom. But on the other hand my dad who doesn’t use social media because he has MS and it makes it hard for him to type, is still sharp as a whip when it comes to spotting scams. He’s pretty tech illiterate but he can still easily spot and ignore dogey emails and links. It seems almost like social media has conditioned most boomers to be more likely to fall for scams. Of course corolation doesn’t imply causation. Maybe it’s just that more scam savvy people are more likely to recognize most social media as being a scam so they don’t use it.
Asexual ≠ Sex Repulsed
Asexual = No Sexual Attraction
There are ace folks who are sex repulsed but it isn’t the same thing. You can still have a sex drive without being sexually attracted to anyone. It’s definitely not the norm but one ace person I know will basically screw anyone because it’s all the same to her. While that’s a bit of an extreme example, there are plenty of sex positive ace folks out there. Personally I don’t feel sexual attraction but I still crave intimacy and sex is pretty intimate so it still fills that.
Depression really helps minimize the time spent on chores.
