Keep losing your car keys? I have a solution. It's called "buy a lot of cars." Why else do you think I'd have 37 Plymouths in the backyard? Statistically, I'll find the keys to one of them when it's time to leave for work. It's fast and easy this way; no hunting under couch cushions or interrogating my domestic animals to see which one stole it.

Sure, it might not seem faster, but that's just a side effect of having so many cars. Even after I find the keys, there's some fumbling to remember exactly what car this set of keys go to, and a little more fumbling to get a battery in it. A quitter would assume that's more work than just putting the keys to a single car on a hook next to the door, but they're missing out on one of the greatest aspects of life: owning lots of cars.

Another benefit is that the lock cylinder on these babies is usually so sloppy that I can start them with a different car's keys. For instance, that Savoy over there? Starts with this set of keys, which you'll note have a Ford logo. Oh, this Belvedere? It's keyless ignition. On all the time. When you're done driving it, you have to unplug the battery really fast before the alternator catches fire. Keep meaning to figure that out, but it is really convenient as long as I don't get stuck at the lights for over thirty seconds. Clock runs a little fast, too, now that I think about it. Where was I? Oh right, keys.

I know that people with new cars are terrified of cyborg-enhanced teenagers copying their wireless keys and then driving their Lexii away. That will never happen with these vehicles: even if today's soft-handed carjackers are brave enough to get inside these tetanus-riddled deathtraps, they will have to contend with my security system.

You see, if you don't drive a particular car too often, it gets infested with wasps who want to stay out of the rain. That Duster, right next to the road? There's no metal on it, just a throbbing wasp hive in the shape it once held. Any thief that hops in there will immediately quit the stealin' life once they're out of the hospital, and they've got at least a 1-in-37 chance of picking it. Sucks, too, because I keep finding the keys for it whenever I try to clean up.

Vivaldi on his deathbed in 1741: please, put it into my will that the first movement of my Spring concerto can only be used to indicate fancy settings in cartoons or as hold music for the absolute worst call centres.

This works best if you keep windows closed.

Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.

This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.

A better more efficient and odor eliminating homemade air purifier than just taping a 20x20x1 filter to a box fan. Sometimes you need to

If you live on the west coast of the United States, fire season is coming and this is vital.

We’ve been using one, and they’re great. Might try to make the double filter version this year.

theyve been doing a bunch of studies on this during the pandemic and this design is best! 4 filters and a shroud to optimize flow rate.

I’ve personally used both the flat single-filter version AND the triangular two-filter version, and based on subjective personal experience I would argue that the benefits from the second filter, both in terms of airflow and filtration, are absolutely worth it. If you need a makeshift air filter and you have two filters to work with, build the triangle (if not the box, i have no idea how good that one works but based on the info here i presume it’s a fair bit better.)
