The Best Guide to Buying an Air Conditioner in 2023

As the US experiences unforgiving hot summers and freezing winters, over 87% of houses in the country have air conditioning systems. But it’s a long-term and expensive appliance that requires regular maintenance and professional repairs whenever required.

If you’re also looking to buy a new AC or upgrade the existing one, you would like to get the best value for your money. Every home has different needs varying from its size to structure and you must choose an appliance accordingly.

So, here we are with the top 5 factors to assist you buy the right product according to your temperature control needs. Let’s get started!  

Top 5 Factors to Consider While Buying an AC

Size of your property

The size of your property is the most important factor as it affects the cooling, wall insulation, temperature retention, and more. Well, the logic is simple: the larger the home, the bigger the AC you need. ACs are generally sized in Tons units such as 2 tons, 3 tons, and so on.

If you have a home of 1500-2000 square feet, a 3-Ton air conditioner will be a perfect choice. On the other hand, you need a 4-Ton AC for a home of 2000-2500 square feet while 2500-3300 square feet may demand a 5-Ton AC.

EER/SEER rating

In the US, electric appliances comply with two energy efficiency ratings: Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) and Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ration (SEER). These ratings determine the electricity input energy or you can say energy efficiency of your HVAC.

We recommend at least 13 SEER which is also suggested by the Federal Law of the country. Also, air conditioners with higher EER and SEER ratios are more energy efficient and will help you save energy bills.

Modern features and technology

We live in a modern technological world where every company tends to innovate new functionalities and features. If you’re buying an air conditioner in 2023, you must prefer energy-efficient inverter technology as it consumes 50% less energy than non-inverter ACs.

In AC features, you can consider an AC with multiple temperature modes including Heat Mode, Dry Mode, Freeze Protection Mode (FP), and Energy Saving Mode. Also, look for features such as vane control, temperature change, fan speed, and more.

Warranty

The warranty on air conditioners depends on the brand, model, and component. For instance, the compressor is the most important part of your HVAC. That’s why most brands offer a massive 10-year warranty or every lifetime warranty on compressors.

However, other components may have a lesser warranty period and may not be covered under the warranty. It’s essential to have a warranty because electric appliances can experience unexpected issues that can lead to repeated and costly repairs.

HVAC contractor

HVACs are large appliances and their installation may include ducts, indoor and outdoor units. So, installing and maintaining it on your own may not be a good idea! That’s where a professional HVAC contractor like Classic Heating and Air can help you.

From installation to maintenance, TeamClassic offers every service that you need to keep your home at the desired temperature. Our years of experience and 5-star ratings on Google represent our authenticity.

Conclusion:

Conclusively, purchasing an air conditioner in 2023 requires careful consideration of various factors to ensure optimal comfort and energy efficiency. With advancements in technology, there are a plethora of options available, each with its own set of features and capabilities.

It is essential to assess your cooling needs, room size, and installation requirements before making a decision. Additionally, consulting with professionals and reading customer reviews can provide valuable insights into performance and reliability.

Remember to prioritize energy-efficient models that align with environmental concerns and offer long-term cost savings. By selecting the right air conditioner for your needs, you can create a comfortable indoor environment while minimizing energy consumption.

Review: Furutech DSS-4.1 Speaker Cable & DPS-4.1 Power Cord

Furutech DSS-4.1 Speaker Cable & DPS-4.1 Power Cord

The Audiophile Weekend Warrior (TAWW)

TAWW Rating: 5 / 5

Attainable ultra-high-end performance.

PROS: Incredibly quiet, transparent and open-sounding; powerful and resolving frequency extremes; pure and organic midrange; fast and unfettered dynamics; remarkable sense of space.

CONS: Only sold in parts form, so you'll need to figure out termination; power cord can put some strain on jacks.

My first couple decades as an audiophile were relatively frugal. I bought a pair of used Merlin TSM speakers out of college that I used for 16 years. I rolled my own DIY speaker wire and bought $400 Sony and Onkyo CD players that I modified. My amplifier was a defective review sample that I repaired and got for pennies on the dollar. But after years of self-restraint, I started to slide down the slippery slopes of system upgrades. It started innocently enough with some used pieces... an Ayre integrated here, a Cambridge Audio streamer there... then came DAC upgrades, followed by nicer amplifiers, which naturally necessitated a better preamp. But things really took a turn for the crazy last year (I blame pandemic cabin fever) when speakers were upgraded to Audiovector SR 6 Avantgarde Arreté, which then led to the Gryphon Essence preamp and amp. Along the way I picked up the excellent Audience Au24 SX cables which, combined with Audience powerChord SEi's and a hodgepodge of other wire from Cardas, DH Labs and Mogami, have held me over. But with the system now scaling new heights of resolution and realism, the cable upgrade itch needed scratching... which leads us to the Furutech DSS-4.1 speaker cables ($395/m bulk; $3,138 as tested) and DPS-4.1 power cord ($480/m bulk; $1,458 as tested). While that might seem pricey for wire, they’re positioned to deliver the kind of ultra high-end performance associated with far more extravagant products. Could they deliver on that promise in the new TAWW reference rig?

DIY Ultra High-end??

Furutech is a Japanese cable and accessory manufacturer known for their fanatical attention to material and construction quality. Their AC power components are particularly acclaimed, and the distinctive NCF-series AC plugs and outlets can be found on the finished products of many other high-end marques. Similar to how manufacturers like Dynaudio used to sell raw drivers to other manufacturers while also building complete loudspeakers, Furutech seems perfectly content with anyone in the industry using their parts while they also sell finished products. The enterprising audiophile looking to construct or upgrade their own gear can find Furutech components readily available for purchase, though be warned - there are apparently a large number of knock-offs being peddled as genuine Furutech on eBay and other online marketplaces, so you'll want to stick to an authorized distributor. Fortunately for us in the States, we can turn to reputable online stores such as Music Direct, The Cable Company, Douglas Connection or any number of authorized dealers. The very friendly Scot Markwell of Elite A/V Distribution, Furutech's US distributor, provided the units under review here.

The DSS-4.1 speaker and DPS-4.1 and power cable represent the very highest-end Furutech wire you can buy in bulk - anything fancier requires factory termination. The two are effectively the same cable design, with the DPS version adding the requisite third conductor for grounding. I got a heads up to the remarkable properties of the power cord from my late friend Marty DeWulf a couple years back. Marty had been quietly consulting with an electrical engineer specializing in high-voltage power line transmission to construct his own power cords from scratch, and had reached a point where he felt his DIY concoctions outperformed the dozens of pricey high-end cords he had tried over the years. Marty sent me a number of development prototypes and I can attest that the cord was indeed superb and elevated the performance of most every amp I had at my disposal. Marty was feeling pretty happy with his effort until Scot @ Elite AV sent him some Furutech samples to try out, including the DPS-4.1. Sure enough, the DPS-4.1 performed at a different level from anything else Marty had tried before, including his own creations, and recalibrated his expectations for power cords - it was that good.

I later picked up the DPS-4.1 cable myself, along with the Furutech e-TP80 power distributor he praised, and confirmed their high level of performance. My appetite was whetted and I got in touch with Scot about kitting out the new reference rig with Furutech speaker and power wire throughout. This includes DPS-4.1 power cords on everything save the DAC, a GTO-D2R power distributor (review forthcoming) and DSS-4.1 speaker cables. All my samples were terminated with Furutech’s top-shelf rhodium-plated connectors - NCF plugs on the power cords, locking bananas and spades on the speaker cable. For the Gryphon Essence power amp, I had a 1.5m DPS-4.1 power cable made with 20A connectors. Since the Audiovector SR 6 speakers have tri-wire terminals, Scot also provided bare-wire jumpers made from the same PCOCC copper employed in the finished cables.

Using Furutech's PCOCC wire as tri-wire jumpers

Buying the Furutech parts and assembling the cables oneself can yield a considerable savings vs. finished cables, and most enterprising DIY'ers should be able to manage the job. However proper termination is critical to performance and safety, especially for the power cord, so if you're in any doubt, ask a dealer such as Douglas Connection to terminate them for you. Excluding any such labor, the retail cost of my 2.5m set of DSS-4.1 speaker cables with CF-202 bananas and FP-201 spades is $3,138. The 1.5m DPS-4.1 power cable with the FI-50/50M NCF plugs runs $1,458. High-end prices to be sure, but as you'll see below, I'd have no hesitation using these in systems that many would kit with far more costly wire.

The massive IEC connector is gorgeous and fits surely, but will put some stress on your jacks

Handling-wise, I'd call both on the lighter end of "garden hose," neither supple nor particularly stiff. At 19mm (0.75") thick for the speaker cable and 17mm (0.67") for the power cord, they're substantial but manageable. They'll bend easily enough into gentle curves, but the power cord will put strain on the chunky plugs if not given a good amount of clearance so don't expect to cram it into tight spaces. The speaker cable comes with an attractive woven sheath; the power cord has a purple PVC jacket, but my cables were clad in a silver Techflex sleeve for a more finished look. Both have 11AWG conductors which should allow for plenty of current flow in a typical run, and the speaker cable's capacitance is rated at 51.7pF/m (15.6pF/ft) @ 1kHz. This is an exceptionally low figure - for comparison, Kimber Kable 8TC is rated at 346pF/m, while Cardas Clear is a whopping 912pF/m - nearly 18x the Furutech! The tradeoff is a higher inductance of 0.7µH/m, but at typical lengths the effect of this should be benign.

Furutech DSS-4.1 Speaker Cable

Before we begin: since it’s impossible to say what any one component sounds like in isolation, I made most of my comparisons of the Furutech DSS-4.1 to my current reference cable, the excellent Audience Au24 SX ($3,300/2m pair). I also had Cardas Clear Light, DH Labs Q-10 Signature and a few other things on hand, but given that the Audience is the best of what I had available and is closest in price to the Furutech, most of my comments are relative to the Audience.

The best way I can describe the sound of the Furutech cable is "wide open." Compared to other cables I've had at my disposal, swapping in the Furutech sounds equivalent to the visual effect of renovating your living room from normal-sized windows to floor-to-ceiling glass. Suddenly everything feels more open, airy and illuminated. Notice that I didn't say "brighter - there’s a difference. The Furutech allows more sonic light to pass into your listening room, so when the music is brilliant and luminous, your room is suitably illuminated. But once the sun sets, that wall of glass becomes as pitch black as the night sky - and so the Furutech can be quiet and dark when called for.

In less fanciful terms, the Furutech gives the feeling of extremely wide bandwidth with no attenuation of energy or dynamics across the frequency spectrum, particularly at the extreme highs and lows. This helps it unlock more of the capability of my recent system upgrades - the top-to-bottom dynamics of the Audiovector speakers and ultra-wide-bandwidth of the Gryphon separates. In the lower frequencies the Furutech is a big step up in bass energy and resolution, transmitting more of a recording's energy and tone in the bottom three octaves. Note that this is different from having “big” or “warm” bass - similar to my illumination vs. brightness comment above, those denote colorations that constantly tilt the perceived spectral balance in a certain direction. There is no lower frequency hump or resonance here that could sound favorable on first listen but get a little monotonous in the long run. The Furutech simply allows what’s present in the signal to be transmitted more unimpeded than I have heard before in my system. This gives music tremendous “surprise” factor - it can go from ethereal to thunderous in a heartbeat. And this applies not just when used on the big Audiovectors; it's also a quality I heard on a scaled-back system with the Silverline SR17 Supreme 2-way monitors.

The top end has a similar level of transparency and dynamism, revealing all sorts of harmonics and textures as well as the air and ambience of the venue with striking transparency. Triangle, cymbals, trumpet, violin, and harpsichord are a few examples of instruments with complex high-frequency structure that sound exceptionally realistic via the DSS-4.1. At first, I felt the treble of the Furutech was a bit coarser vs. the Audience, which I have always found to be notably smooth and natural. I initially ascribed this to break-in, and gave the wire a couple hundred hours with a 4 ohm dummy load to try to burn it off. It improved, but it still had a bit of lingering grain. With time, two things became apparent: this cable takes a REALLY long time to break in - things kept getting smoother and smoother over the next couple hundred hours - and the Furutech simply refuses to cover anything up. Once I made the substantial upgrade to the Gryphon Essence combo I realized that grain was mostly endemic to my previous components, which were no slouches themselves - we’re talking all Class A discrete electronics from Pass Labs and Valvet. That just shows you the level of resolution the Furutech brings into play.

Once integrated into a system of even higher caliber, the Furutech sounded close to invisible, with great openness, clarity and detail from top to bottom and little discernible artifact. That said, at some points I did adjust the top end a bit by moving the Furutech's connection to the Audiovector speakers from the tweeter terminal to the midrange terminal. When connected to the tweeter terminal as per Audiovector recommendation (and my standard practice with other cables), things could get a hair bright, and some of the aforementioned coarseness would pop up now and again. Again, the Furutech was just telling it like it was, because later after further improvements to the system (a dedicated 20A power line, IsoAcoustics Gaia feet, breaking in the latest firmware on the PS Audio DAC), the top end sweetened and I was able to return the cables to the tweeter terminal for best transparency. In my system's current state, the Furutech brings out a top end that's wonderfully sweet, extended and natural.

A few other standout aspects bear mentioning. One is the sheer size of the soundstage, both in width and depth. I'm not sure exactly how components that have no effect on actual channel separation can affect the perceived width of the stage so much. Maybe it's a phase thing, maybe it's low level resolution that helps with ambient retrieval, maybe it's dynamic capability to bring out instruments that tend to be at the edges of the stage... whatever it is, the Furutech is able to convey a stage of substantial depth, width and dynamism. Another standout is the Furutech’s ability to convey dynamic contrasts. This is a quiet and fast cable that responds adroitly to the most minute changes in dynamic character, conveying both the undulations of a quiet melody and the surge of an orchestral climax with great color and intensity. Finally, the midrange is wonderfully dense, pure and harmonically complete, with great solidity in the lower range. Unlike many audiophile cables that provide lots of detail and speed at the expense of fullness or balance, the Furutech can better most comers in the "hifi" aspects while bringing out all the natural warmth of a great acoustic recording. Baritones, grand pianos, french horns and celli have never sounded better.

By comparison, the Audience Au24 SX is still a wonderful if more midrange-centric cable. Its slightly laid-back perspective and silkier treble are appealing for a variety of systems, particularly those on the forward side of neutral. There's a roundness and sweetness to the midrange, but at the expense of sounding a hair more congealed, bunching instruments together on a narrower stage. It also isn’t quite as responsive to quick and subtle dynamic contrasts, and the top end isn't as realistic and extended. Prior to hearing the Furutech the Audience was actually one of the best cables I had heard in many of these regards, so we're already talking about a very high level of performance here. And compared to something like the Cardas Clear Light, the Furutech was far more resolving while having a warmer, purer midrange and a sweeter treble.

The DSS-4.1 is an exceptionally transparent, balanced and complete speaker cable that can bring greater levels of realism and naturalness to a commensurate system. It delivers the type of detail and energy one would expect from an ultra high-end wire, but in an honest and unforced manner that draws one to the qualities of the source material and music without distraction. The net musical result is music has wider variation in color, texture, nuance and ultimately emotional impact - or as another reviewer put it, "expressiveness is their strong point."

Furutech DPS-4.1 Power Cord

Remarkably (or perhaps not?), virtually all the qualities that the DSS-4.1 exhibits as a speaker cable also shine through with the DPS-4.1 as a power cord. My longstanding reference is also an Audience cable - the moderately priced powerChord SE-i ($930/6 ft). It’s an incredibly consistent performer that imparts greater body, dynamics and life to most any component vs. a stock cord, not to mention a good number of aftermarket ones.

Compared to the Audience powerChord, again, the Furutech felt wide-open, more transparent and better balanced. The powerChord was a bit meatier in the mid bass and slightly sweeter on the top end - certainly more forgiving, but a little filtered compared to the Furutech. The Furutech also had a much wider and better-spaced soundstage; I won't say "twice as wide and 3x as deep" or anything with such false precision, but it certainly felt significantly bigger, with a lot more air between instruments and a stage that consistently spread beyond the width of the speakers. On pop mixes, this exhibited as stereo reverb and hard-panned effects that popped much more distinctly. Compared to the Audience and anything else I had on hand, the Furutech allowed whatever was plugged into it to transmit more recorded nuance with a sense of effortless transparency, particularly at the frequency extremes.

But like any cable regardless of quality, the Furutech wasn't the best match for everything I had on hand. I found the Audience cable more competitive with the PS Audio DAC; the Valvet A4 Mk.II monoblocks have a bit of upper midrange shine that was slightly prominent with the Furutech; and with the Class D Legacy i·v2 amplifier it was actually the very affordable Audience Forte that clicked better than the rest. But otherwise, the Furutech really shone with the majority of preamps and amps I tried, especially anything Pass Labs.

With the Gryphon Essence preamp, switching from the Furutech back to the Audience wasn’t a huge let-down by any means. And at first blush, the Audience sounded a bit more dense and focused than the Furutech, particularly in the lower midrange. But a few notes into Billie Eilish's "iomilo" [Qobuz] I realized what I was hearing as density was actually a bit of congestion, and the soundstage was quite a bit narrower than with the Furutech... everything sounded a bit more congealed around the center image of Eilish's voice. With the Furutech, the Gryphon preamp was able to eerily float effects around the entire space of the front of my living room, with percussion flourishes sprinkled throughout the track twinkling in ethereal fashion. With the Audience, everything lost some luster and became more confined between the speakers, and the frequency extremes lost some speed and impact. The DPS-4.1 cable really unleashed the wide-bandwidth capabilities of my system, maximizing both the epic bass depth, power and control of the Gryphon electronics as well as the purity and extension of the Audiovector's AMT tweeters. None of this is meant to beat up on the Audience, which costs about half as much as the Furutech and remains one of my favorite cords, but rather to elucidate how a cord like the Furutech can further elevate the performance of a system. At some point, I'll have to get around to trying Audience's latest models, such as the Studio ONE powerChord (closer in price) or the FrontRow (though that one costs 3x as much as the Furutech).

Testing the DPS-4.1 with the Gryphon Essence stereo amplifier was a bit trickier due to the need for a 20 amp IEC connector, so I special-ordered one for this purpose. Once set up, the Furutech rewarded me with incredible detail, an ultra-wide and deep soundstage that extended far beyond my walls, deep and impactful bass response and a heightened sense of purity - the "blackness" between the notes. Transients were immaculate, with perfectly clean attacks and decays - not excessively sharp, not softened, but just natural and energetic. This helped create the sense of greater macro and micro dynamic range; lots of subtle shadings and nuances in the music became clearer, while sudden transients were more explosive. There was a greater sense of both calm and energy with everything, where quiet moments felt finer and more delicate, while pops of energy in the performance burst forward with an effortless impact more akin to the live event. Separation, pitch, and articulation of bass notes were made more exceptional as well. It brought out the more rarefied capabilities of ultra high-end gear like the Gryphon - that ability to hear every element of a performance distinctively, yet perfectly integrated into the overall fabric of the music. All these qualities came to the fore listening to complex, dynamic material such as Strauss Don Juan [Qobuz]. I was struck by just how much clearer a window the Furutech gave into the dense, at times cacophonous orchestration, while making tranquil moments such as the idyllic oboe solo even more delicate and nuanced. The overall performance of the Gryphon + Furutech pairing was exceptional.

One combo where the Furutech power cord worked even better than the speaker cable was with the Pass Labs XA30.5 amplifier. With the DSS-4.1 speaker cable, there was a bit of a tradeoff where the enhanced resolution revealed some of the shortcomings of the amp vs. the more refined (and expensive) Gryphon Essence. However the DPS-4.1 power cord was dynamite with the Pass, helping maximize its dynamics and balance out its midrange warmth with bottom-end impact and top-end extension. The Pass Labs XP10 line stage also never sounded better than with the Furutech cord, with improved dynamics, soundstaging and clarity. The lack of noise and grain further strengthened the quietness, purity and sweetness that many find so endearing of Class A gear. The outstanding synergy with the Pass Labs components makes the Furutech DPS-4.1 cord about as no-brainer a recommendation as I can make for any Pass owner.

Conclusion

The Furutechs were remarkably consistent in their sonic impact. Both the speaker and power cables impart a wide-open feeling, with striking resolution at the frequency extremes, powerful low-end response, highly agile dynamics, super low noise floor and no readily-discernible coloration. They are extremely fast and clean without curtailing any sweetness or richness intrinsic to the music. Both cables are a tad more forward than my Audience reference wire, the Au24 SX speaker cable and powerChord SE-i power cord. There’s a hair more upper midrange energy and treble resolution that will require care with some systems, though it’s less prominent than, say, something with silver or silver-plated conductors such as DH Labs Q-10 or Nordost Valhalla. And the power cord in particular took the extension and resolving power of my system to a different level. They both strike me as reference-caliber cables, exacting enough to round out a tweaked-out $100k system, yet balanced enough to elevate something more modest, with plenty of headroom to grow into more ambitious gear. In particular, if you have a system with significant extension at the frequency extremes, they’ll help extract the most out of those capabilities. And as well as they work with my reference Gryphon separates, I absolutely love how they elevate Pass Labs gear, enhancing their intrinsic warmth and musicality with greater clarity, dynamics and precision. They'll be staying in the system for the long haul as a TAWW reference cable. Very highly recommended!

Team Skull + Video Games

idk why this came to mind but here we go

Grunts:

When you run away from home, the first thing you think of isn’t “lemme pack the xbox real quick”. The grunts if anything, have handhelds, anything ranging from a gameboy to a scrappy old 2011 3DS with scuffs and maybe a dodgy button or control stick here or there, couple of dead pixels, and no money to get it repaired. MAYBE an old Wii or Gamecube, cause what kid is gonna fuck off and NOT take their Gamecube? Mario sunshine is FIRE (so yeah, theres probably a Gamecube somewhere in the mansion but it’s not in use)

Team Skull’s Grunts are notorious for vandalizing property and stealing shit that don’t belong to them, so any local game stores are reluctant to let them in.

Since Plumeria is such a pushover to her little siblings, Since Plumeria is so nice, she tucks in her skull medallion and lets her hair down to stuff it in a bandanna so that the store owners let her in, and she dons her Nice Face™ to go get games for the grunts once they give her the money, though this is a privilege, so if they piss her off, they get cut off from their supply.

There’s one old, battered Xbox 360 stashed in the closet. No faceplate, gotta use a pen or something to turn it on and the side has a crack covering the whole area after one of Guzma’s outbursts. The stupid thing overheats in the summer so its out of use for most of the year when it’s too hot. The only thing it’s used for anymore is Minecraft. The old 360 version doesnt update anymore, but that don’t mean there aint a couple worlds on there. The grunts on their off time (which is like, most days) will get out the 360 and boot up minecraft. That’s the one world that Guzma isn’t allowed in. He’s got his own.

(woah look at that fuckin segway)

Guzma:

Guzma’s Minecraft world is OLD, like... OLD bitch. Shits seen a couple birthdays. Plumeria had got the console from some guy on the street, giving shit away that he didnt need, basically a yard sale but everything was free. A take it if you want it and it’s yours kinda deal. Came with a couple controllers and a small group of games.

Guz’s world is a fuckin hot mess. Holes everywhere, he’s crap at building, looks like a 12 year old made everything. You bet your ass that he went into creative one time and just filled a chest full of TNT once he found out it existed. Grunts can join the game, sure, but the amount of small starter houses lying around that got blown up because they got pranked by the boss and fell victim to his stash of TNT is uncountable. Plumeria’s got a house too in that world, just like in the grunts’ one, but she’s hardly on the game since she has other things she prefers to do more often. Despite that, if Guzma dares TOUCH her fucking house she will pay him back double, be it in the game or in person. Guzma is the only one who would dare test her, so she doesn’t need to worry about the grunts messing with her stuff.

He doesn’t play FPS shooters anymore, because the other games that came with the xbox were Halo games. Those halo games are why theres a massive fuck off crack and no faceplate on the console. Also one time one of the original controllers went out the window, so there was a lot of 1 player gaming until they could afford another as a replacement. Now Guzma sticks to games he can either win or just fuck about in.

The Wii U in the mansion Guzma picked up for cheap at some yard sale (probably because the owner was thinking “what the fuck is the boss of Team Skull doing in my front yard please get off my property here take it please dont smash in my windows”). Needless to say, that was probably the biggest score of pretty much that whole year. I mean, if your first reaction to a 6′5, intimidating gang boss in your yard isn’t “just fucking take the console” or “hot” then your brain probably aint wired right. Guzma is the undisputed king of Mario Kart. He’s always the one with the gamepad because fuck everyone else. He gets to spy everyone’s items and thats it. No fucker else.

Plumeria usually nudges the grunts to lay off if they constantly place ahead of the boss, mostly for everyone’s sake, but mostly for that of the fucking money pot. she aint spending money on a new Wii U gamepad. She’s surprised the original one has lasted this long.

Plumeria:

Has over 1000 hours in animal crossing on DS. She also plays that brain training game that every mom owned back in like 2006. She plays casual games to keep sane. I mean, if she didn’t, she’d have blown this house up and moved to Kanto by now.

She also has Nintendogs, which she at one point found out that she had that in common with one of the girl grunts and so every week without fail, the two of them get together and give each other gifts and play with their dogs together.

(Sidenote: would nintendogs be pokemon dogs? Lillipup & friends, Poochyena & friends; Rockruff & friends, etc.)

part 2 might come later if i feel like it

Hi darling! Drive is one of my favorite fics I read like a thousand times! I just love all the characters and the chemistry!! I was wondering if you ever thought to do a coda? I know you are working on other things right now and I can’t wait for them as well! But if you’re planning on making a coda one day what do you see in the future for them? Just curious ☺️ love ya 💓

Hi Nonnie! I get asked about codas in my fics a lot and I admit, writing a coda is always in the back of my mind, but unless I did plan ahead to write something like a coda, it’s not likely I would write/complete one. I guess you can say that when I end fics, they’re really meant to be ended.

It’s not to say I won’t ever write a coda. If inspiration strikes, I’ll write it, for sure, but I find codas difficult, like I find one-shots difficult.

I did envision something for Drive and even started writing something for it, but I couldn’t exactly be inspired to finish it.

In the Drive universe, Betty and Jughead are basically living in their New York apartment with Jellybean, with Betty writing small features in different New York periodicals and publications while Jughead writes his next book. They are both still finishing their degrees. Jellybean’s still in highschool but is immersed in looking at colleges. FP is out and navigating life outside of jail. They are happy, they are content, probably may take forever to marry simply because neither of them are big fans of it and because they feel married, anyway. Betty might have thought about wanting a baby based solely on her anxiety. She still drag races, ocassionally illegally, but more frequently in the weekend circuits in central Jersey. Her new car is a sleek black, semi-gloss 1968 Ford Mustang Custom Clasick (129), with blue LED lighting. Jughead managed to keep the F-Bomb but he hardly ever uses it, mainly because it’s technically still FBI property.

Betty still works as a mechanic.

Chic is quietly trying to recruit Jughead to work for the FBI. They are buddies but don’t want to admit it.

Archie and Valerie have broken up and he was depressed about it for a couple of months, but he moved on eventually and developed a relationship with Josie. They are going strong because Josie doesn’t put up with his bullshit and she makes him a better man.

Veronica and Cheryl are still together and are both contemplating on proposing marriage, unbeknownst to either of them.

Toni is successfully running the Wyrm. She is too busy and successful to have any kind of romantic relationship. She has sex on a fairly regular basis, but nothing serious. Sweetpea calls it the Parade of Pussy, which Toni hates and Cheryl and Veronica thinks hilarious (they are still her business partners). The ladies are thinking of opening a new, more upscale restaurant in Brooklyn.

Sweetpea is putting up his autobody shop. He is nervous and excited, and they are opening soon for business. Sabrina is very proud of him and will work in his shop part time. She is still a mechanic at her aunts’ auto repair.

Fangs is still in college but he’s already making waves with his graphic design prowess. Jughead was able to get him in contact with book imprints as a freelance book cover designer. He is doing incredibly well in this field.

Kevin and Joaquin are a prospering couple. Joaquin is pursuing his culinary arts degree and working kitchens on weekends. Kevin is well into his 3rd year of pre-law. He aspires to get his law degree from the one of the many East Coast schools: Yale, Harvard, NYU, Columbia, and U-Penn. Betty and Kevin meet up daily in school, but hang out together on Sundays for brunch, dragging Jughead and Joaquin along with them.

The small conflict is when Hal shows up at Betty and Jughead’s apartment one day to tell Betty Alice is dead, and that it was cancer that killed her. Betty struggles to come to grips with her feelings for the parent that abused her and the parent who let it happen.

It seems like a lot, I know, but even with all this, I just don’t seem to have it in me to finish that coda, because I’m not sure how I want to end it.

10 Tips on Shopping for CCTV Cameras

If You're in the market for a CCTV bundle for Your House or SME, You're definitely making the proper option. CCTV cameras provide security and reassurance. When thieves or miscreants target houses or businesses, CCTV video footage will help identify the offense and offenders instantly. Preliminary studies conducted in towns, particularly crime prone areas, indicate that installing CCTV cameras function as a crime deterrent, and press reports indicate a marked drop in the amount of crime cases reported in regions where CCTV cameras are still operational.

1. CCTV camera resolution

Most Tech savvy customers wield mobile cameras and video recorders and discuss camera and megapixels resolutions like an expert.

Therefore, rather than pixels, we speak concerning TV lines. We know that high the pixels, better the picture quality we get.
