Probably minimal difference, as long as your duct is nicely sealed up. If it is leaky and you want to minimise VOCs then keep the positive pressure section (fan discharge side) as short as possible.

Most fans have a pretty similar suction and discharge capability these days. Biggest impact will be to get nice straight air into the fan intake, rather than having a bend just prior. So that may also suggest that locating it closer to the window is better.

I have a tool that has 8 transmitters, which can be plugged into up to 8 ports on one end, then when the network tool is plugged into the other end, it identifies which transmitter it is connected to, as well as doing a connectivity test for all the wires along whole length of the connection from one end to the other. It can also be set up to create ‘noise’ down one line, and a probing tool then makes sound to identify the line all the way along its length and to the port. That’s the professional method.

However, with 3 ports on each end, it won’t take too long to test them, if you have a router/switch at the house, and a laptop or computer with an ethernet port in the granny flat. When a computer cable is connected to a router/switch, then Windows indicates that the network has been connected on the networking icon down the bottom right of the desktop.

So all you need to do is connect port #1 inside the house, to the router, with an ethernet cable. Then go to the granny flat, and plug an ethernet cable between the laptop/PC there and each of the 3 ports in turn. When it is plugged into the one that connects to port #1 inside, then the network symbol in Windows should show that you’re connected to a network. On the other 2 ports, the network symbol should show that it is disconnected. Mark the port in the granny flat that corresponds to port #1 inside, then repeat the procedure for the other 2 ports inside. Making sure to only connect one inside port at a time.

Perfect!

These are hard to find these days, but I’ll check the kids school computers

If there aren’t Ethernet ports, then get a USB to Ethernet adaptor, or USB-C to Ethernet adaptor from Amazon from $8 up. Free next day delivery if you’re a Prime member.

And get a couple of Ethernet cables if you’re short on those too.

What is the actual point of field sobriety tests that Police Officers use in the US ?
Seems an utter waste of time.

Making drivers follow the Officer’s finger with their eyeballs, and having them walk a line on the road.
Fkn nonsense.

Just pull out the Breathalyzer FFS !

The cops don’t have breathalysers like we do. It is apparently tied to one of their constitutional rights. The cops need to have ‘probable cause’ before obtaining a sample (breath/blood), so they do the sobriety test roadside, then take them away for the blood test. It would be illegal/unconstitutional to do the random tests we get.

Its frustrating watching the YouTube vids.
I realize there are protocols they need to follow.

I just find myself yelling at the TV.

Apparently some do have them, but they can only use them if someone consents to them instead of the sobriety tests.

The Soul Asylum video Runaway Train video clip, were any of the people ever found?

What’s more, at 0.05 reading, I can understand someone sometimes not being 100% sure if they’re over the limit or not.

At 0.08 reading, surely anyone who drives around that level knows their driving is already significantly impaired, even if they’re not sure if they’re over or not.

Note: I’m not excusing people driving over the limit. You have to have a cut-off at some level, and I’d rather it was lower, like ours, than higher, like theirs.

I’m just saying, in US, if you’re anywhere near 0.08, surely you already know you’re a danger to others.

Quite a reasonable number of the people were located or let their families know they were ok. Sadly, in one case, the featured person was located by someone who had previously abused them and hurt them again.

I actually reckon it is the other way around.

And in any case if you are drunk you have not much idea you are impaired

Who picks a guide dogs mess?

In the subject of dogs. Who the hell created a breed and then called it not one, but two blokes names? WTF is Jack Russell? All the other dogs have awesome names

I damaged a screen on a mobile phone and while it was getting repaired put the sim into another android phone that I had. This other phone was fine when I stopped using it a few years ago but wouldn’t recognise the sim, so I put it into another phone that Mrs MP stopped using a couple of years ago as well. That one didn’t recognise the sim either.

A couple of weeks back the MIL had problems with her phone and while that was getting repaired I tried her sim in two phones that she had, neither worked. All four phones were android and were capable of 4G.

I visited our local Telstra shop were I was given a new sim but when it was put into the old android phone it didn’t work so it was put into a shop phone and all good, so there was nothing wrong with the sim. I got my phone back yesterday and it works fine.

Any clues why working phones, when they have been parked for a while stop working on a network. All were still functional and logged onto their respective wireless networks when turned on but none would work on the mobile network.

It might be that the physical sim card was no longer active, and that there was an electronic sim on your phone.

I’m no expert but I think if you put a physical sim into a phone, then convert it to an eSIM, the physical card no longer works. And I don’t think you can convert it back to a physical sim.

So in your scenario, you were moving the SIM card around but the actual sim information was still with your phone that you got back. Putting it into other phones won’t do anything.

Edit: but I don’t think this explains the sim not working on one phone but did when switched to the shop phone. I still think it’s an eSIM issue.

My dad has the Parson’s terrier which the same bloke bred. It looks exactly like a Fox terrier

Thanks for your response THT but no, have not activated an esim and not sure that any of these phones are esim capable. I also know of people who have gone overseas and bought esims for their trips and have reverted back to their physical sims when back in Aus.

Just not sure why my two phones on the Telstra network were fine until being parked and my MIL’s two phones on Optus had the same problem.

Why do I have to pay income Tax, I pay tax on everything I buy, why do I lose a quarter of my salary to a government I may not even support ?
