The bqf progress is going great except it's so slow. But I'm taking a detour to basalt get my own little manufacturing shop online so yeah that takes a while. My main concern is the cost of things. I don't get subsidies and shit like big companies do...

Early on the golf ⛳️ course

So fucked up. Criminals at the helm. Overhaul everything, throw them all out and get decent people in.

Ok but there diy measurements are off by 26% compared with their lab measurements, and you can see it's partly because their protocol is no good. No control run for instance. For all we know if they don't know how to do it it may be the lab measurements that are borked... Neither means much.

Her obituary in Stat has links to some of her stories. I remember the last week in Jan 2020 listening to the cdc press conferences and hearing Helen ask questions. I was so impressed so I looked her up and have been reading her work since. www.statnews.com/2026/10/13/h... via @statnews.com

Leaving an Aranet 4 CO2 logger in a classroom proved that ventilation was not functioning. In some cities you can even borrow one of these meters from the public library! Tag me if you'd like help interpreting the results.

The government is also, as we reported yesterday, separating children from families in the interior, labeling them "unaccompanied," putting them in shelters, and using payments and coercive memos to get them to give up their legal rights and leave the country.

Heat pumps are pretty awesome but solar thermal is definitely better. So are ervs. Better roi, whether it's dollars or kWh you are after. I'm a way this is just politics, then. I mean it's good that it's kind of aligning with what really matters but it also isn't, is it. Not very well.

Yeah, that coughing and "something going around" discussions is COVID. That nice low summer is over. Toronto's wastewater viral load is showing a consistent upward trend in COVID-19 and nearly zero levels of influenza A & B and RSV. wwater.ca/Ontario/Toro...

Another one to add to the list of studies of CR boxes! The supplemental data includes inferred CADR for each unit deployed as well as sound pressure measurements in two classrooms at several distances.

Bluesky is so useless. Twitter is abominable but at least it's something. Why is the resistance always so pathetic?

The hilarious thing is that no matter what he did he would be the worst at it ever. Yet somehow he got shooped into a job that is normally expected to go to a skilled and respectable person

Dolly Parton seems awesome but I hope she would agree, given her political efforts, that hero and celebrity are not good for the cause of justice or indeed almost anything, in general. Remember the enormous number of invaluable women who toil for the benefit of all without a shred of fame.

On 9/11, US airspace closed, Canada launched Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander, a town of 10,000, received 38 airliners. Residents immediately sheltered, fed, clothed, and supported stranded passengers for days, providing this hospitality free of charge. interestingengineering.com/culture/oper...

This is really interesting imo

After all this time, people still have not even begun to clue in to the reality not only of climate change but more critically the underlying causes of the inaction to address it. The ruling class maintains their grip on both the bodies and minds of the great majority.

I've very nearly run out of stuff to do on the bqf project. We should have started making the molds five months ago or something. I've been able to work around that but it hasn't been very efficient. In maybe two weeks I'll really be reduced to complete waiting.

Yes please do. I noticed there is a very unusual streak of irresponsibility in American culture. But the lunatics are actually your neighbors etc and nobody else can solve this problem. Either you do it or it doesn't get done, and you go down too.

The oil has to stay in the ground anyway. The only thing that bothers me is that the infrastructure in the aggressor country is bound to be untouched.

It never ceases to amaze me how much people complain about the price of oil going up. Unfortunately it's become abundantly clear people are not going to stop burning so much oil without that happening. They've had time, the deadline has long past.

Pilot kit production has begun for the big quiet fan. Pilot means the method will change. The general plan is to keep going and change the approach over time to reduce cost and increase production rate. By subbing in molded parts for instance, that's the first major stop.

We are so rarely around other animals. All I could even do is get a pet. I loved having a cat but my place is too small now 😭

But remember there are many many more women who have and today do have the capacity to do this kind of thing and more and yet are denied the opportunity to even try. We need to stop the hero worship thing for the future, that can be done while appreciating the heros of the past.

He did not die unknown, he is well remembered. And this is not sustainable ok, we can't keep depending on the extremely rare heros to solve this kind of absolute insanity. Vast damage was done by the lead to several generations.

Our mission is clean indoor air for all, and we promote evidence-based information about COVID, healthy indoor air, and avoiding airborne pathogens. Stay up to date with our weekly newsletter: phan.global/contact.

You also *let* them do that in broad daylight for how long? That doesn't sound like enforcing the law. When everyone is allowed to shoplift whatever they want their whole lives and pay some tiny fraction of it later, then ok, I guess.

Alas nobody told anyone. We just did not know. Maybe nobody knew?

Facts, plain and straightforward 💯🎯

On July 19, 2026, the COVID-19 Long Haulers Discussion Group on Facebook will host an online meeting (https://www.facebook.com/groups/covidlonghaulers) with Cat Fraser, a public health advocate and strategist who's developed a “bioreality” tool (https://laboflivedexperience.com/).

I was mocked when I included this IPCC finding in my book, but I do understand that it can seem unbelievable. So I’m sharing it again, in this heatwave, noting also that 3C heating is twice what we have now, and the impacts of global heating are non-linear. #EndFossilFuels

Probably worth mentioning you can kill everyone in the room before anyone even realizes what's happening if you use too much and/or have sufficiently poor ventilation

I buy way too much stuff on Amazon but when I review my purchases and see if there was another way, there isn't really. The solution is to nationalize it. They are doing something useful that other people can't figure out, they are just being abusive/criminal in the process.

You'd need approximately 3.3 per classroom to meet ashrae 241 and also ansi 12.60 (noise) at the same time. More if you need 40 cfm per person or more (outbreak scenario) and it's a large class.

Filtering the air may help prevent your own infection from becoming more severe If everyone in a household becomes infected with the same virus, does it help to isolate from each other and can you be a danger to yourself? Read on to find out... 🧪🧵1/ #AirQuality #IAQ #Ventilation #Infection #COVID

It's so hilarious how much everyone appreciated Obama now. He did do a ton of evil shit though, don't forget that, I'm not American so I don't consider it a responsibility to be that well versed on the subject but iirc he was no angel either, just so so much less bad.

It's really time to make the first mold for the bqf. I'm waiting for funding approval. If it doesn't come through I can still use resin casting, but if I proceed with that now and funding comes through it would have been a real waste of time.

In a way it's hilarious people are surprised though. The American gov and esp military is a bunch of genocidal psychos that murder little girls all the time. You really can't expect a shred of decency in any way shape or form. Shun them or get eaten.
