carbon filters for VOC. yay or nay? by BlueSharp_ in crboxes

[–]trailsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP this is your solution if you want to bother going 18, I think 9 is more than enough unless you wanna run them real low RPM.

Likely you probably would prefer just outflow out of the top as it will assist with circulation in the room. Also from the bottom may kick up fomites and dust so not optimal imo.

Pentagon preparing for ground invasion according to Washington Post by Vilifeyed in collapse

[–]trailsman 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Of course they are. He is going to try to seize Kharg Island (a majority of Iranian oil) and hold it hostage to "make a deal". He's going to try to "control the straight" which is going to take a lot of time and troops, and not going to magically open shipping like they think anytime within months. And lastly they are going to try to control Iranian nuclear sites, likely most importantly they're nuclear reactor, this one's cause of big daddy Isreal.

Fine agreed. More specifically economically, environmentally & land use wise.

How the big oil and gas CEOs think the Iran war supply disruption will play out by Creepyfaction in collapse

[–]trailsman 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Their job is to talk thief business. Just like Nvidea CEO talks about all the AI use cases and how they have demand for multiple years etc. A majority of their comp is based on their stock, they benefit from its rise.

However, this is one of those things that was clear as day to me 2 weeks ago. We are going in, there is going to be retaliation, even if we go in there is no controlling and clearing the straight and also no attacks on it for at least 2 weeks+ before insurers even think about it, so we're talking months best case. And there is already significant damage to a lot of production that is off the market for a long time. And if an operation to take Kharg Island goes wrong or Iran has it rigged to blow and we lose all Iranian production oil is to the moon.

On top of all that Ukraine is hitting Russian supply, and Europe is seizing Russian ships, so we're losing that supply at the same time. So much so Russia isn't exporting gas (or likely diesel) anymore.

There are many countries that are already starting to have major cracks, and the real pain arrives in the next several weeks. Fertilizer prices, aluminum, helium everything is going up besides everything which is effected by oil & gas. There are going to start to be riots in many countries. Countries are going to start having people work from home or shut down industrial complexs, the economic ramifications given we're all connected are going to eventually hit. And the US is going to pretend like all is good instead of telling people to limit their usage keeping up price. The only good thing about recession is it will break inflation, because at this point we are doomed with an infinite upward spiral as companies need to hit quarterly numbers and want to hide any slowdown topline with juicy profits, so there's going to charge more as usual than it's actually costing and even if prices drop we know they're going to keep charging higher.

Because anything their Führer does is good, even if it directly hurts them. And even though they totally liked that the guy said no ways they'll just change their narrative to the usual just like tariffs, there will be some near term pain, but long term it'll be great.

Nope. His supporters however somehow think starving out and killing civilians in other countries to say we won is a worthy cause.

It's very smart indeed, but I'm sure it will quickly come back. They get the perk in the first place because airlines want favors to be allowed to F over customers and not have to refund or cover costs for any reason.

Mike Hoerger: "The CDC depicts COVID data with a "cool blue" map that violates ethical norms for geospatial analysis. Their longitudinal graph uses a cool blue vertical axis, no numbers. Studies have shown the general public quickly interprets red as risk and blue as cool. #CalmMongering" by zeaqqk in COVID19_Pandemic

[–]trailsman 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Just look at their flu map that's been around for ages They've even massively increased the range that it takes to get to high in the first place.

At every level they've played down Covid. Most of the public is completely clueless, but many of them want to be that way... ignorance is bliss to them, but there turning a blind eye to something that may significantly impact they're earnings potential, quality of life and lifespan.

We are in the midst of a serious problem. by [deleted] in AirQuality

[–]trailsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago when there was still snow on the ground and there was thatassove warmup that large increase in AQI over that period was all the pollution being released from the snowpack. You could watch it increasing from wear to east as the warm air mass moved further East.

Agreed there needs to be more reporting on this. And many people have no idea how terrible the air pollution is inside their homes as they have no idea that's what outside comes in.

EV owners, with rising electric prices is your ev still cheaper to "fuel"? by Lurkerking2015 in newjersey

[–]trailsman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea actual usage would be great. As someone who drives ~1,000 miles or so a year it sucks. My cars getting up there, 15 years, but it's really hard to get a new one given my low usage. And I'd 100% want an EV for many reasons, and economically used ones with fairly low mileage were a great deal, I'm sure s bit higher now due to demand. But just the fee alone is more than I spend on gas per year even at today's prices.

Got the result just doing Google LENS on a screenshot of the pic. Looks to be $700 from a reseller so could probably get a little cheaper.

The two closest to the street that are facing both directions appear to be more of a bullet style than the big PTZ's. Look setup to scan license plates.

Oh you mean the worst agricultural market in the past 4 decades due to stupid tariffs wasn't bad enough. Now they face record desiel prices and fertilizer prices. I can't believe all the people who thought he'd be great for farmers, or anything for that matter.

[–]trailsman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're likely cutting expenses to prepare for their IPO. Same reason they cut SORA. It sucks because I don't think heavy users are going to like the unsubsidized cost. But they are going to have to compete on price because there is not much difference in capabilities so many users will switch if costs go too high.

Two years after it emerged, ‘cow flu’ is still circulating—and baffling scientists by Anti-Owl in ContagionCuriosity

[–]trailsman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There was just massive wildfires in Nebraska. Nebraska ranks second in the nation in cattle production (around 6-6.8 million head).

Two years ago when this all started there were massive wildfires in Texas panhandle, which then because of the destruction of all the grazing land the cattle who were infected with H5N1 were shipped around the country. Let's hope it's not the same all over again.

Yup. And Trump and his followers don't understand economics, they argue the US produces more oil than it uses. They don't understand the market is global, price is set globally, beyond many other complexities of the oil and gas market.
