Not looking forward to summer without a/c

I went to a garage sale and got an industrial fan for $20. Takes the skin off and so loud but does the job. I can't imagine energy efficient though.

I've an industrial fan that I set up when working on my car. Works beautifully. Hogs power like crazy.

Sigh, I was thinking it didn't get cold frequently this year. We're so fucked. If not this year by some miracle, then next.

At least my box of n95s is still going strong to deal with the smoke. Small silver linings on big clouds of smoke.

COVID N95s? Planned ahead on that one.

I haven't stopped wearing them, mostly. High density living means you can more easily hear people coughing. It's been pretty noisy at night this winter, and Covid was bad enough for me the first time around that I don't care to have seconds.

Gonna be a bad fire season this year. We're due for one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah, either this year or next. Could be 3 dry years so I'd say total area might go for a record.

Just kill us already. Jesus christ! The planet is already fucked. I feel bad for my kids for all the shit they will have to go through
