You're in a room. It's dark in here. what do you do?

Go East

Stumble around aimlessly in the dark

I discovered you can't edit posts that contain polls or reblog them, which complicates things. I'm pinning this post to my profile as a starting point for the story/game.

Holy fuck

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.

objectconstancy

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.)

This trick works. We use it in my house.

i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck

THE ORIGINAL? ON MY DASH

this-too-too-sullied-flesh

this post led to a series of events that had martin scorsese himself reacting to his alleged movie goncharov and it has less than 400k notes almost 3 years later?

Not a Scorsese film! Directed by Matteo JWHJ0715!

irisbleufic

Alas, such rampant misattribution!

rhube

Scorsese took over because the studio wanted a big name and Matteo couldn't bring it home, but they both worked on the film.

Like, yes, we shouldn't ignore Matteo, but it wouldn't be the film it is without Scorsese either.

academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches

"you're just scared your diploma is going to devalue" i'm afraid you dumb bitches are going to become my colleagues and drag social services to hell

hylianengineer

I'm afraid they'll become scientists and data that lives depend on will turn out to be wrong - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become engineers and sign off on bridge designs that collapse - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become medical professionals who don't know what they're doing - and people will die.

The assumption that academic dishonesty is okay is rooted in the idea that what you're learning to do doesn't matter.

I have seen this post so many times and only just realised that there is a pun going on and it's not just a white shark on grout.

The creature outside my window that has been building a nest all week finally had a baby!

It does piss me off a little bit that serious polyamory representation in media is pretty much non-existent

youmegravity

The fact that no one even seems to care makes feel like I'm going to explode, I'm tired of such a significant part of my life never being represented and often seen as less serious than monogamy.

aspiringsorceress

Its not that it's less serious, it's that functional polyamory challenges the nuclear family dynamic that capitalism has weaponized against the working class. If a household is shown to function with more than only two adults in an exclusive relationship, then it opens the door to what other parts of life might thrive better under community organization.

It also inherently challenges purity culture with multiple varied casual and symbiotically supportive relationships.

Taking both of those into account challenges the Patriarchy itself, and the idea that a singular man should be in charge and rule over his own household like a petty tyrant.

It's only potrayed as unserious or rife with conflict and betrayal in media to keep it defanged and propagandized as a guaranteed failure state. In truth, it very directly challenges several foundational pillars upholding the power structures in our current western society. The status quo therefore cannot allow it to exist or be portrayed as a healthy alternative to monogamy or to the nuclear family model.

sionnualanicheallachain

Yup—I can think of three recent examples of polyamory taken seriously in fiction off the top of my head, and all three are in works that are actively and explicitly pushing back on those exact power structures in multiple ways.

In the order that I happened to read them:

• A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys

• Spear by Nicola Griffith

• To Shape a Dragon's Breath and To Ride a Rising Storm by @moniquill Blackgoose

The Murderbot Diaries, by Martha Wells, are full of serious poly rep. But I agree, there should be more.

natalieironside

Growing up, older folks would always get confused when I expressed familiarity with media from their childhoods and would act incredulous when I attempted to explain the concept of reruns. They'd be like "How do you, a child of this fallen era, know of Looney Tunes" and I'd be like "Because it has never not been playing on television" and this would seem to be brand new information to them

This is still, inexplicably, happening to me in my 40s, with friends who are only 8 years older than me.

Drives me fucking potty.

'You won't remember-' OF COURSE I FUCKING DO.

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

ignitelimelight

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

My hopes for the Clacton by-election in order of importance:

Farage loses - obviously

Count Binface gets enough votes to be refunded the money he had to pay to stand in the election

Count Binface gets more votes than Farage

Farage gets fewer votes than the guy I've never heard of from the "Rejoin EU" party. I don't necessarily want this guy to win, but it would send a strong message to the former UKIP types if Rejoin UK gets more votes than Farage

At least one of three Monster Raving Loony party candidates gets more votes than Farage (I'd love it if all three of them did, but it's a split vote, so that would be tough to achieve)

The guy from the Everyone is God party gets some lessons on how to write concisely and redoes their website so that it's got 50% less waffle so that someone else trying to figure out what their policies actually are has to wade through less nonsense

I am impressed that you actually went to his website.
