Neither.

Turn the AC down ≠ turn the temperature lower BUT ALSO ≠ turn the temperature higher

Turn the [air conditioning] down

Turn the [mechanism which forces air through the ducts] down

Turn [by mechanical action, the amount of air being forced through ducts] down

= less cool air moving through the ducts

= the house gets warmer, so the temperature does get hotter, as a byproduct of reducing the amount of cool air circulating, but it does NOT necessarily mean that you have turned the temperature higher. You could have just reduced the fan speed.

my spouse and i disagree

Skitter Vs. The Black Knight. AKA. A different sort of Slaughterhouse Nine arc

Rather than the carnage of the Nine, he's slow and methodical. Equally as frustrating to go up against, but in a different way. Gist is he gets called in post-Echidna (He was dealing with some different bullshit at the time), as Tagg is tired of the Undersiders reign. No one likes him, because him showing up means Everyone Has Fucked Up, enough to the point the PRT things "seven dead in miama, twenty missing limbs" is worth the PR cost.

It's still Jack Slash: you're never winning with him. Anyway read a snip i made :]

Love Character A calling Character B by a name they never use, fueled by emotion - whatever that emotion may be. Calling them by a nickname when they've always used the full name, to help them feel comforted or at ease. Vice versa, angry or panicked full naming makes it clear how serious this is. Characters who always refer to each other by last names getting close enough to be on a first name basis. Revealing they consider the other a parental figure by using a parental term for the first time. Revealing they know the hero or villain's identity by using their civilian name. Any of it, all of it

Ik Wade's identity as dp isnt much of a secret but fics tagged as secret identity and including wade in it is one of my favorite themes. Like i just love it that not only wade doesn't know the other person's secret identity, but the other person doesn't know wade's title as dp either. I need more fics of this i fear

Anyway. All this Black Knight dicussion makes me think of what he'd be like. Probably just as intolerable as Jack, but a slightly different flavour. He's a glorified attack dog, considering how he's discussed in that vision. They talk about sicing him on people. That is not the language you use when talking about a well adjusted person. If we assume his backstory is the same, i go with the take that after triggering, or killing King, he got grabbed by a burgeoning Protectorate (Wardens here, technically.), and press ganged into the Wards. Still just as homicidal, but also in a situation where he's on a proverbial leash, and can probably see a psychologist.

Still petty and spiteful and shallow, but his worse impulses get channeled into violence against acceptable targets. I think he'd be a bit easier to get along with, mostly because he has to behave himself around some folks. But still deeply irritating. Guy who shows up, and you know he's going to be just. petty and shitty the whole time, but you have to tolerate him because he's going to figure out how to deal with whatever thorn is in the wardens side.

He keeps breaking into horrible monologues every time they set him on a threat, but he keeps killing the threats, so they have to tolerate his pagentry.

[leblogreblog]

the fact that he also keeps being shipped with Spamton, one of the smallest lore-relevant characters is even more funny, like

them <3

First meeting >:)

Nobody expects him to be that tall in-person, but you know what they say! TV… subtracts a yard. Or two.

…That IS the saying, isn’t it?

(I did the math with these insane canon heights because I can’t get over this. Why is he that big. Who did this. I’m crying)
