Newt: There was a... misunderstanding.

Gally: Was there? Or an understanding?

Newt: No. A misunderstanding. I think perhaps the same misunderstanding you're making right now.

Gally: Oh! Then... I thought perhaps we shared a family failing.

Newt: Why have you asked--

Gally: Because after all, you know, you've never been much of a one for the girls.

Newt: No! Look. Since you-- since you insist upon asking me, Gally, I, I don't have the least use for the whole silly business.

Gally: Ah.

Newt: Leaves me entirely cold.

Gally: You've tried it then.

Newt: Never. And I never shall.

I randomly felt like watching this edit again and ohh ... the feelings😭😭 This video basically carried me through my last semester and final exams at high school, I literally watched it multiple times every day (I swear a couple hundred views are from me alone), on the bus ride to school in the morning, when I got home again, before going to bed, just in between because I felt like it ... Internally I wasn't doing that well at the time, and it just brought me so much comfort. Also I'm pretty sure it plays a significant role in how I fell more and more in love with 2nd Dimension Heinz💕 This edit just means so much to me and I love it so much <3

MOTÖRMUSIC, MOTÖRMANIA, THE MOTÖRMASTERS -- ALL CROSSING OVER INTO COMIC BOOKS.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on front and back cover art to a comic book turned tour programme, featuring MOTÖRHEAD in a storyline titled "Rock Commando." The comic was reportedly produced specifically for the "Over the Top Heavy Metal Brain Damage Party” at Bingley Hall, Staffordshire, UK, on July 26, 1980. Story & artwork by Klaus Bloom.

OVERVIEW: "By 1980 MOTÖRHEAD had become a massive live attraction, selling out everywhere they played. During the summer the band headlined “The Over the Top Heavy Metal Brain Damage Party” (great title for a rock concert) at Bingley Hall, Staffordshire.

A comic programme, which featured “The Overwhelming MOTÖRHEAD” in “Rock Commando” was produced especially for (reportedly exclusive) distribution at their Bingley Hall concert.

I didn’t attend the gig (at least I don’t think I did, unless perhaps the Heavy Metal Brain Damage really has got to me 🙂 ) but I have a copy of the comic which I must have bought at a later gig, probably at the Mayfair later that year.

The comic was written by Klaus Blum with a section from Alan Burridge of Motorheadbangers, and features a great comic strip adventure with our heroes in a futuristic England and France."

How to Optimize Your Air Conditioning System in Skokie, IL for Year-Round Comfort

As a homeowner in Skokie, IL, optimizing your air conditioning system is essential for year-round comfort. Whether you're enduring the heat of summer or ensuring your home stays cozy in the cooler months, a well-maintained and efficient air conditioning system can make a significant difference. Not only does it provide comfort, but it also helps reduce energy costs and prolong the lifespan of your unit. Here's a guide to optimizing your air conditioning system in Skokie for year-round performance.

1. Choose the Right Size Air Conditioning Unit

The first step to optimizing your air conditioning system is ensuring that it’s the right size for your home. If your unit is too small, it will struggle to cool your home, working overtime and consuming excess energy. On the other hand, an oversized system will cycle on and off too frequently, which can lead to uneven cooling and wasted energy.

To find the right-sized air conditioning unit for your home in Skokie, consider the square footage of your living space, ceiling height, insulation, and the amount of direct sunlight your home receives. Working with a professional HVAC technician can help you select the ideal system that balances efficiency and comfort.

2. Invest in a High-Efficiency Air Conditioning System

If your air conditioning unit is over 10 years old, it may be time for an upgrade. Modern air conditioning systems are much more energy-efficient, saving you money on your utility bills and providing better cooling performance.

Look for air conditioning systems with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the system. For homeowners in Skokie, an air conditioner with a SEER rating of 14 or higher is recommended for optimal performance and savings. High-efficiency systems are not only better for the environment but also offer improved comfort throughout the year.

3. Install a Programmable Thermostat for Better Control

One of the simplest ways to optimize your air conditioning system is by installing a programmable thermostat. A programmable thermostat allows you to set temperature schedules based on your daily routine. For example, you can set the thermostat to raise the temperature when you’re not at home and lower it before you return, ensuring you don’t waste energy when cooling isn’t needed.

In Skokie’s climate, where temperatures can fluctuate, using a smart thermostat can further improve your system’s efficiency. Some models allow you to control the temperature remotely via smartphone, so you can adjust your home's comfort even when you're away.

4. Regular Maintenance Ensures Long-Term Performance

Routine maintenance is crucial for keeping your air conditioning system running smoothly and efficiently throughout the year. By scheduling regular maintenance checks, you can catch minor issues before they turn into major problems, saving you both time and money.

Key maintenance tasks include:

Cleaning or Replacing Air Filters: Air filters trap dust, dirt, and debris, but over time, they can become clogged, restricting airflow and reducing efficiency. Clean or replace your filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage.

Cleaning the Coils: The evaporator and condenser coils in your air conditioning unit can collect dirt, which can reduce the unit’s efficiency. Regular cleaning helps maintain proper airflow and cooling capacity.

Checking Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant levels can cause your system to lose cooling power and strain the compressor. A professional technician can check refrigerant levels and recharge if necessary.

Inspecting Ductwork: Leaky ducts can lead to significant energy loss, causing your system to work harder than needed. Ensure your ducts are properly sealed and insulated to maximize efficiency.

5. Seal Gaps and Insulate Your Home

To get the most out of your air conditioning system, it's essential to keep cool air inside and prevent hot air from entering. Proper insulation and sealing gaps around windows, doors, and vents can reduce the workload on your air conditioning system, leading to better efficiency and lower energy bills.

Consider upgrading insulation in areas such as the attic and walls, as this will help maintain a consistent indoor temperature year-round. Weatherstripping around doors and windows also prevents drafts and air leaks, making your home more energy-efficient.

6. Use Ceiling Fans to Supplement Air Conditioning

Ceiling fans are an excellent way to optimize the effectiveness of your air conditioning system. Fans help circulate cool air, allowing your AC unit to run less frequently while still maintaining comfort. This is especially helpful during mild temperatures when you may not need the full power of your air conditioner.

During the summer, ensure your ceiling fan is rotating counterclockwise to create a wind-chill effect that cools you down. In the winter months, switch the direction to clockwise to help circulate warm air near the ceiling back down into the room.

7. Monitor and Control Humidity Levels

Air conditioning systems also play a significant role in controlling indoor humidity levels. Excess moisture in the air can make it feel warmer than it is, causing your air conditioning system to work harder than necessary. To optimize comfort, keep humidity levels in check with a dehumidifier, or ensure your air conditioning system is properly sized to handle both cooling and moisture control.

Maintaining proper humidity levels also helps reduce the growth of mold and mildew, improving your home's air quality.

8. Schedule Annual Professional Inspections

To ensure your air conditioning system is always performing at its best, it’s recommended to schedule annual inspections with a professional HVAC technician. These inspections help identify any potential issues before they become major repairs and provide a thorough cleaning of all key components of the system.

A well-maintained system will operate more efficiently, last longer, and keep your home comfortable through every season.

Conclusion

Optimizing your air conditioning system in Skokie, IL, for year-round comfort is essential for maintaining a pleasant living environment. By choosing the right-sized system, investing in a high-efficiency unit, performing regular maintenance, and implementing smart strategies like using ceiling fans and a programmable thermostat, you can ensure that your air conditioning system delivers optimal performance. With these tips, your home will remain comfortable year-round, saving you money on energy costs and extending the life of your system. Don't wait for your air conditioner to break down—take proactive steps today to optimize your system for long-term comfort and efficiency
