Only The Valiant Podcast

[greg]

California Energy Code does not allow reheat. Of course, we dont have to debumidify anything.

True. When I was in Cali, there were bums everywhere.

Two episodes in one week! Yeah!

About Chiclo changing his intro sound bite. Personally I always liked opening an episode hearing his rant about Cyclops. Just my opinion.

Question. While I did read Valiant in the 90's, I only ever read the first issue of HARD corps. I got it because like Bloodshot and Turok 1, it felt like everyone was required by law to get these books. But just for entertainment value is it worth reading the rest of that series?

The intro sound bites are going to change over time. For this change, thought it was too good of a twist of intentions to NOT change it to what it is now.

The early issues of HARDCorps aren't bad, but not great. They get pretty terrible towards the end.

The end of Hard Corps is about the worst comics can get.
End of hard corps = buckets of barf!

Have you read Star Trek TNG/X-Men?

I beg to differ this is worst comics can get:

I nominate NFL Superpro for the worst comics ever

I have a question for Sean-

When designing an HVAC control system (say offices) what do you use for the control point, OAT (outdoor air temp) or RAT (return air temp) and why?

I have a very definite opinion on this.

I am interested to see what your opinion is as we are in very different climates, hot and humid vs.cold and dry.

It will make for the most boring OTV episode ever!

Or the most boring post ever.

One thing I am very happy about is that I don't design HVAC systems anymore at my new job.

I'm not sure what control point you're referring to. In Cali, I pretty much only designed heating/cooling systems, no dual deck. California Energy Code does not allow reheat. Of course, we dont have to debumidify anything.

If you mean the location to control if the system is in heating or cooling mode, I usually try to find a south-facing zone that is centrally located, not a zone that includes a corner. Or I pick the office where the boss will sit as the control zone. If you mean the thermostat or temperature settings, cooling on at IAT of 75 degrees DB. Heating on at 68 degrees DB. At least in Cali. See below.

OAT = 2% DB temp.

RAT = indoor air temp, if I'm being conservative (which I usually am), or indoor air temp +3 degrees. Indoor air temp is per the Energy Code for that state, in Cali it is 75 degrees. In Washington it is 78 degrees.

I know right, you wouldn't believe how many systems I ran in to that used OAT for a control point. It's crazy especially in Calgary where it's not unusual to have 20 C temperature swings, if a chinook blows in it can happen in less than an hour.

Okay that's enough we're boring

How about XO blasting that dudes flaming head through that other dudes body?

Yes! More of that, please.

Those last two eps were really great guys keep up the good work

Chiclo's response to that Galactus question might be my new fav Chiclo moment ever. I had to pause during his answer to contain my laughter.

[MarkRoseHFX]

Oh and thanks for defending me Sean

I listen to about 3-4 hours worth of podcasts per day (mostly at work) So it's easy to run out of OTV. Plus Chiclo i've heard every ep more than once and finished tied for fourth in the trivia contest....I think i've proven my OTV cred

If it's any consolation C-lo OTV is still the only podcast i've ever sent voicemails or e-mails to

If it truly existed, it would far surpass the actual OTV podcast. Just you guys commenting on your podcast. I rolling just thinking about it.

The most recent episodes have caused me to post an OTV puzzle...

Just listened to the commentary episode. Really funny, and yes the elaborate X-O kill did deserve the 10 minutes that were dedicated to it.

My nomination for the kill: Penetrating Fire Skull

[hawkeyeps]

New episode was great, I really like the commentary tracks and this was one of the best.

Nice job OTV crew

That just reminded me of of read along records, it's how I learned to read as a wee lad in the 70s

[MarkRoseHFX]

Hell Yeah

I had some Star Wars books and records too they were badass

[Dr. Solar]

New episode!

We take a look at the State Of Valiant!



Enjoy!

Either Dr. Silk is trying to stop us from recording or some renegade Nanites have hacked Doc's computer....

Where is Bloodshot when you need him... DORK!

I'm gonna blame Dr. Silk.
Thwarting the OTV recording = despicable
