I know a city in California with the heat exchangers on the roof. Do you have any idea why? (The properties were large enough the footprint wouldn’t be an issue.)
Where I am in the USA Midwest the heat exchangers are all on the ground as they are easier to install and maintain.

- Comment on Anon tries to meet girls at college 1 week ago:
Live in the dorms and go to parties. The first week before classes start is magical for making friends.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 3 weeks ago:
It is always tempting to try to justify one’s position and get out of being laid-off/fired.
The decision has been made by those that “know your position”, or your manager is being let go next.

- Comment on linus tech tip 4 weeks ago:
Linus Torvalds is super well known for creating Linux. Linux is heavily used in “tech”. Linus is not a common name globally.
Personally, I had expected that “Linux Tech Tips” was Linux Torvalds giving Linux tech tips. Clearly, I have no bothered to read any of them.

Recessions in the USA are just constant. Nothing personal.
- Comment on linus tech tip 5 weeks ago:
Hate this guy.
There is only one Linus in Linux. Torvalds.

What could the motivations of the owner be, if not to make money?
Please add to my list:- prestige
- tax avoidance
- boost retirement savings (in the USA, business owners can stuff their retirement accounts with LOTS of cash.)
- Create and disguise a "sex pad"
- improve the community by providing jobs and/or needed services (start a coffee shop so that there is a coffee shop.)
- time filler
Of those, I think a very healthy 401K contribution from the employer to the employee would be motivating to those already paid well.
Many employees already use the business as a sex pad. (Conference rooms can be gross.)

Seems the pink paper has a backing on it to stiffen it. Upper left corner seems to show the backing, which may be pink cardboard. Given the mounting location, I would expect it to be “floppy” like the “lined” paper without a stiffener. All of my above to say, I think someone put a “lot” of effort into the pink sign.
- Comment on Los Angeles paid $400M+ in 4 years to people hurt/killed on the streets. LA spends more money paying off people injured or killed by its street designs than it spends making streets safer. 1 month ago:
Interestingly, not a video about police brutality, but about known unsafe roads.

Greif and loss. The first year is the worst.
Might be time to focus on processing the loss of your previous hopes, dreams, relationships, and projects.

Back in the day, one could get a credit history by being listed as an authorized user on someone elses card. One never needed physical possession of the card, nor needed to use it.

- Comment on What a scam 2 months ago:
Bullshit. Whatever you are doing, you are getting better at it. Even if those skills only apply at work, or begging on the street.
- Comment on What a scam 2 months ago:
Yup. It is really odd when one notices they have leveled up in a skill. Some task is suddenly far easier than one remembers it being.

- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 2 months ago:
The USA was securing international trade lines. After WW2, they started doing it to counter communism and build friendships. (Cannot attack your trading partners.)
This was not entirely popular with Americans, see “Team America: World Police”.
Another country or coalition could step up. Just build a navy that rivals the USA one to secure shipping lanes.
