I had no idea! So you use the phone in tether mode and get it hooked up on a router ethernet port and it works like that? Did you have to change any settings on your router to make it work?

You don't need an ethernet adapter to use your phone as a cabled hotspot for a computer. Just a regular usb cabe works just fine, I've done it before when our home internet was down.

The idea itself is fine, but in practice it wouldn't work. The kind of people you are trying to screen out in the process would just study do give the responses of a passing assessment, probably with the help of heavily paid mental health professionals.

Psicology is hard to test and prove, most of the things you are looking to test would not be visible in bloodwork or brainscans.

I dont have HVAC specific advice for you, but I've lived in a well isolated house in a hot environment (42C max temperatures) and what we did was open basement windows and atic windows, and have a fan point out of the attic window. This created a draft that exhausted the hottest air in the house out, and while upstairs was always hotter than downstairs, it was much more bearable than without.

I imagine a similar setup would help you get the cooler air from downstairs up, and a big advantage is that you can try it with very little cost and commitment.

I don't know how your house is configured, it might not be a solution for you. We have a pretty habitable attic, not those insulation filled dens I see in American houses, so it was pretty easy to try it for us.

Also, we opened and closed the windows every day, we didn't leave it open overnight.

I didn't actually mean the fist option, it was meant as a joke. I clarified it in another comment, maybe I should just edit the original one.

As far as I understood the problem here is OP's boss, so I don't think that would be a feasible solution in this situation

Just be be clear, I wasn't advising OP to do the first idea. It was more of a joke. It has potential to be traced back and get him into trouble.

All my teeth falling off (I wore braces as a teen, I don't know if it made a difference). Also since a cousin died in a car crash I dream about car accidents, always in the driver seat. In the first year after the accident I even woke up trying to press the breaks sometimes.

The most chaotic good thing to do would be to use the known security issues to hack into your boss' computer in the most scarry looking but harmless way. That would possibly scare them into upgrading.

With that said, you should create a paper trail on how you warned your boss, and either wash your hands of the issue or kick it up the chain, depending on how much you care.

EDIT: since it seems some people didn't get it, I meant the first option as a joke. My actual advice is the second paragraph

It did not, it's just that sarcasm/irony is common on the internet, and tone is hard to convey just from written text. I was not offended at all, but thanks for being a nice person on the internet and apologizing anyways!

Me and my dad are the same, on the left and right problem, never knew anyone else that had that problem, or that it had a name! I thought we were just weirdos :p

Not sure if you're joking, but blinking is fine. It's blinking one at a time that's the problem
