I'm going to have a bit of a #tech #rant (less charitable people might say #whine) here. If you just want jokes and cute bunny pictures, feel free to skip this one.

Object of my #ire this week? #Furnaces. I'm not even going to rant about their main control boards; most of that's been said better than I could say it, by others with more knowledge than I.

I'm ranting about #furnace #motors.
