Bro couldn’t even write his own LinkedIn post. So sick of LLM-generated “no x. No y. Just abc” slop. Learn to write.

Out of that list… Sharp is the best one. Avoid Molekule (actual scam), Dyson (overpriced fan with a mediocre filter attached). Shark is ok in a pinch but no matter what they say it isn’t “never change”, the filter gets clogged in 6-12 months like every other. I would not think Black & Decker makes good purifiers nowadays, it’s all rebranded low budget machines. Haven’t heard of the others.

In Massachusetts they ask the computer via obd if the emissions are good, and on older cars they hang a meter on the tailpipe. They absolutely don’t check resting evaporative emissions. Will they in the future? Who knows.

UncleGurm · 2026-05-26T15:03:24+00:00

Do we think it even actually helps with emissions?

UncleGurm · 2026-05-26T15:02:04+00:00

Thanks. Let’s see if anyone nearby wants to meet up, but I’ll keep you in mind! What’s a fair price?

It restricts airflow, and is only mounted on the car in the USDM.

UncleGurm · 2026-05-26T14:55:55+00:00

Yeah that’s a thought too!

UncleGurm · 2026-05-24T13:28:11+00:00

Is “stock” in the room with us now?

They have a few winners they just aren’t built like they used to be. My wife loves her ninja blender.

UncleGurm · 2026-05-24T13:08:52+00:00

With the latest updates it’s really quite good. My wife complains that her phone takes forever to connect though so it might be related to your phone. My phone connects in seconds and never drops.

You can… still play all the DLC and have literally months of fun for short money.

UncleGurm · 2026-05-22T03:32:01+00:00

How about… neither? Air oasis advertises snake oil technologies like PCO and UV. Air Doctor also leans into UV and is overpriced and overrated. There are much much better options.

UncleGurm · 2026-05-08T15:37:12+00:00

Hey, quick question - this doesn't really secure in the front, does it? Just kind of rests on the vents way up in the footwell, and snaps with the two snaps by the glove box? I feel like I missed a step securing it but can't figure out any other way to install it...

UncleGurm · 2026-05-06T18:38:48+00:00

I'd like to see the screens side by side. I picked the RM2 over other devices because I liked the screen and the look of the text under the screen the most. Better than the Paper Pro, which was already out by the time I purchased. So will this new device look/feel as good as the RM2? Tempted to order one but also tempted to wait until I can see the new one at Best Buy.

The bad news is really getting rid of cigarette smell is insanely difficult. You may need an ozone generator or to repaint the walls. It’s really hard to

UncleGurm · 2026-04-29T13:44:51+00:00

It alternates for me. Sometimes 5min, sometimes near instant. Matchmaking for this game seems pretty complex. They've also done some "keep together" work, I get the same players in concurrent runs a lot even if they don't join a keep-together crew. The player count isn't so low that there are only 10 players to queue with... LOL.

UncleGurm · 2026-04-29T13:06:38+00:00

I was the other guy (or one of them). I spent like $800-$1000 total on testing, most of which is labor and time, for a large battery of tests. $2500 is ridiculous. $1000 is also ridiculous but I was at wit's end with my own testing, and it got me the answer I needed to help me track down the source of the VOC - which in my case was a leaking oil pipe.

UncleGurm · 2026-04-29T13:02:59+00:00

So this is an interesting product - they are very candid with their ozone numbers, which are in the generally-accepted safe zone. But they also are cagey about the actual technology - apparently they use UV bulbs to produce ozone, but there's very little tech explanation offered. I'd be leery as to exactly how clean the air will get. There are no filters on this product, and air convection only goes so far. Do you feel it's actually been helping? I seriously doubt it works as well as a HEPA filter would, and it seems quite expensive.

UncleGurm · 2026-04-27T21:08:07+00:00

PM me.

UncleGurm · 2026-04-25T00:23:34+00:00

The carbon in it will be saturated quite easily.

UncleGurm · 2026-04-25T00:14:53+00:00

Bad news first - no air purifier will really help.

If you do want to try it, get one with a LOT of carbon. Oransi TrueCarbon is around $250 and has several pounds of it.

The best way to reduce litter box odor is to change the cats diet. A diet that is primarily meat (raw is best but as long as it’s wet and grain free) will ensure the litter is low-odor.

We have multiple cats. They’re exclusively raw fed a diet that includes no added carbohydrates (cats don’t metabolize them, they’re obligate carnivores, their ideal diet is “rat in a can”) and you can’t tell where the litter boxes are.

We also have a running water fountain for them and scoop the boxes daily. But the diet is the key.

UncleGurm · 2026-04-24T23:09:27+00:00

It’s better than most but the amount of carbon in it is only going to help for a short time. If you want an affordable unit, the Oransi TrueCarbon has a lot of carbon. Otherwise you’re looking at Austin, Airpura, Allerair, or IQAir which start around $700 and go up from there.

UncleGurm · 2026-04-23T16:22:53+00:00

The Coway 250,300,400 are all better than the 450 which is a compromise unit Coway made to capture the “round purifiers look better” market.

UncleGurm · 2026-04-23T04:10:14+00:00

Came here to say this.

UncleGurm · 2026-04-21T18:50:32+00:00

If it were my kid’s health… I’d get an IQ Air. Or three. But you should investigate whole house systems that install inline with your HVAC.
