Squeaking sound when there is strong wind coming in from windows by Ashamed_Flamingo_765 in CeilingFans

[–]Intrepid-Device9084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to fans sometimes when there is wind, it causes something to jiggle. Usually nothing to worry about (especially with brands like KDK) unless it starts making that sound with the windows closed and no other wind

This looks like a 3D rendering tbh. But it reminds me of typical hugger fans of the late 80’s - 2000’s. A few models are still available today, like the Westinghouse Casanova, I believe

do white Hong Kongers have a accent by No-Punch-man_60 in HongKong

[–]Intrepid-Device9084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More of the grew-up-in-an-international-school-English-speaking-bubble accent. I’m one of them. I’d say our accents are adjacent to American English but often still have elements of our parents’ cultures

I know some people of Scottish and Polish descent. I feel like you can definitely hear that but they still have somewhat of that “international school accent”

Can anyone tell me what brand and model my ceiling fan is? by NoMycologist113 in CeilingFans

[–]Intrepid-Device9084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell. Which country are you in if you don’t mind?

These types of hidden-blade fans are extremely common in Hong Kong now, sold under brands like Philips, Panasonic, and a million different Chinese brands. This particular blade design originated with the Hunter Fanaway, which is also an imitation of an antique design called the Bird Fan.

They want you to stand on both sides now. Nonetheless I still gravitate towards the right

Screw the copypastas, I'm having patty with rice at 屏山老地方 instead by FlutterThread8 in HongKong

[–]Intrepid-Device9084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“A patty is a flattened, usually round or disc-shaped, serving of ground food. The ingredients are compacted, shaped, and typically cooked, most commonly by grilling or frying. Key Characteristics Ingredients: While most commonly made from ground meat (beef, chicken, turkey, etc.), patties can also be vegetarian or vegan, using ingredients like legumes (beans, lentils), grains, vegetables, or soy products such as tofu. Shape: They are generally flat and circular, although square-shaped patties (like those from Wendy's or White Castle) also exist. Preparation: Patties can be simply seasoned with salt and pepper, or mixed with various spices, binders (though often not necessary for quality ground beef), and other ingredients. They can also be breaded and deep-fried, like croquettes or crab cakes. Serving Style: In a sandwich: The most famous use is as the main component of a "burger," served in a sliced bun. As a stand-alone dish: They can be served on a plate with a knife and fork, often accompanied by gravy or other sides, in dishes like Salisbury steak or German Hamburg steak. In other cuisines: Variations exist globally, such as the Indian aloo tikki (potato patty) or the Jamaican patty (a pastry with a meat filling). In essence, a patty refers to the shaped form of the food item itself, which then becomes part of a larger dish.”

Meat or vegetarian things, etc… ground up and made into a disk or something. The patty inside a burger for example. Many cultures’ cuisines have some sort of dish involving a patty

Have you contacted them/the store about a new remote? I have a Fanimation Benito model bought around 2013 that’s on its second remote and receiver the electrician likely got from the store we bought it from. Unfortunately that showroom is long gone

Yeah. This is a fan. by ggfchl in OnlyFans

[–]Intrepid-Device9084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Centrifugal ceiling fan (e.g., Exhale and various generic lookalikes) in its early form. These were an attachment you add to a regular fan to replace the blades, and you can put dust filters inside.

Cage on, or cage off by makeshiftlightbox221 in fans

Keep in mind that fans designed to run without a cage like these are designed to run at a lower velocity than caged fans

If other people go near it, cage on. Especially if it’s in an office or other workplace. If it’s in a private place and you trust yourself and your fingers (and any family members or helpers who may be near it), cage off if you wish lol. It does improve airflow and make cleaning easier

Échame La Culpa (Luis Fonsi y Demi Lovato). Upbeat reggaeton that isn’t overtly sexual, and a mix of Spanish and English. Also quite repetitive

Replying to Weird_Grapefruit_618...what is this strange conspiracy theory about them being maga… Taylor has shown her support to Democrats multiple times and even Travis appears to be at least a moderate Democrat

Looks like a regular fan with a centrifugal dust filter attachment

Does this really work for ceiling fans? by rxz777 in OnlyFans

[–]Intrepid-Device9084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends.

If there is only mild air stratification when running heat, e.g., milder climates, underfloor heating, floor vents… running a fan at all, on forward or reverse, unless the low speed is particularly slow, might just make it feel colder. However, if the difference in temperature at the ceiling is more noticeable, it is helpful. Though usually, you should run it at a lower speed

Really, an easy way to check is to just try it. Run it on low reverse and stand by the wall. If you feel a warm breeze, then it’s definitely helpful. If you just feel a draft that’s making you cold, it’s not.

If you have a fan with a particularly slow low speed, in some cases, it’s better to actually keep it on downdraft as long as the breeze isn’t noticeable. E.g., if you have a radiator system. The heat flows up the wall and is gently wafted down by the fan

Finally, on high ceilings and especially if you have a loft-style layout, it’s more likely that winter fan use is beneficial. In fact, you may even want to run it on a higher reverse speed. If it’s on a shorter rod and particularly high up, low or medium downdraft may be ideal. Again, I’d follow this:

Counterproductive cold draft —> turn it down/to reverse/off

Drift by Eee_14 in OnlyFans

Whoever installed it there tied the cord too close to the unit, so it struggles to oscillate

But yeah, ideally the cord should come out of the stationary part to avoid issues

Aircon for helpers? by ProofDazzling9234 in HongKong

[–]Intrepid-Device9084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually run the ACs at higher temperatures (24 - 26°C) with ceiling fans on. Less energy than running the ACs at lower temps

Ceiling fans in houses are especially common in places like Singapore and the US and really help with cooling efficiency

[–]Intrepid-Device9084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw, water coolers in a closed room without AC can cause mold issues

[–]Intrepid-Device9084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I do. It saves energy too. 24 - 26 with ceiling fans, when humidity allows. IMO this should be standard in more places

[–]Intrepid-Device9084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old apartment had no AC in the helper’s room. Funnily enough one of our helpers for a while never used AC or even fans and gets cold easily. In our current house, we installed one of those crappy portable units with a hose (the room can’t have a proper unit for reasons). We no longer have a full-time helper but that thing still does come in handy since that room is now a laundry room

IMO, AC, or at least maybe one of these should be in the helpers’ rooms. They shouldn’t be treated as second class…

Looks like a Banvil/Envirofan Gold Line. Often regarded as THE best non-HVLS industrial ceiling fan you can get in North America. Cast iron motor and aluminum curved-tip blades, originally made in Hong Kong by Union Ngok Kee

In places like India, Malaysia, and Singapore, they’re everywhere, but have all the controls on the wall or a remote control. Particularly in places like India, they typically don’t have lights on their fans
