AC unit filters should be standardized.  We have 3 units all the same manufacturer installed by the same HVAC company but the filters are not standardized.

With the filters at the intake grills and not right next to the furnace assembly, it is what it is.  3 of the four intakes in our house are one size, and the fourth is a separate size.  Makes it a bitch to buy in bulk considering my wife is absolutely against having anything on hand for future use.

(no, we don't have 4 AC units, just multiple intakes scattered around the house)

I intentionally left out that the problematic unit only cools the servants quarters in an effort not to appear uppity. 

So the horse stable gets the good unit? Got it.

What’s up with folks, including posters on this site, suddenly placing the dollar sign after an amount and the percentage sign before one? It seems like this is a pretty recent (and idiotic) orthographic trend around here that’s taken hold over the last year or so.

Examples:
100$ instead of $100
%100 instead of 100%

I can understand uneducated people getting confused or something, but these are supposedly college-educated or at least somewhat intelligent posters, doing this stuff, when they absolutely know better. And it is not hip or cool, if that’s why you’re doing it.

Text matches speech, where the currency is read after the value, eg “three hundred dollars”. 

Theres no unassailable logic why the currency has to go first. Thats why in many Nordic and Eurozone countries, the convention is for the currency as suffixes.

Well, yeah, sure, I know how the Euros do it, as I've lived over there for a little while, but this is America, gotdammit.

Also, your explanation doesn't explain the %100 bullshit, which goes to show they're just doing it because (I assume) they saw some GenZ kids doing it.

Talk-to-text is for lazy asses.  On par with folks who say they have "read" 5 audiobooks this month.  #shakingfistatclouds
