Coway Airmega 300 - Large Room Air Purifier with Air Quality Monitoring The Coway Airmega 300 features smart mode and real-time air quality monitoring, so you can rest assured that your Coway Airmega is always at work.

I’ve got two of these in the house with 3 dogs and 2 cats. They seem to do well: cowaymega.com/products/air...

Anything on @techconnectify.bsky.social :)

Solar energy, battery chemistries, fusion research, carbon capture (if we can get the energy to do it from clean sources), AI (AlphaFold and the sort...not LLMs) for scientific research....

Issue number four of The End Times, sitting on my table.

The latest version of @benjaminpercy.bsky.social’s The End Times made its way through the snow to my side of North End. Time to check in on my fellow townsfolk.

I find it easier to read blogs on an e-ink device. Less distraction, more immersion in the content.

To that end, I finally got around to cleaning up and releasing the (admittedly vibe coded) solution I use to push Atom-enabled blogs to my ReMarkable. Check it out: github.com/pholleran/at...

My Menards has a lot of recliners in stock, and sofas. Maybe selection varies by store ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I used to joke that to get healthcare the US should declare war on Canada and then immediately surrender unconditionally. It was only ever meant to be a joke…

Just spent the better part of an hour purging old emails, no longer needed Google Docs/Sheets/Slides, and files in my drive. It's almost as satisfying as purging physical things.

Apparently they're counting "hit with a dildo" as an attack.

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators. ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

4/ - As we demand action from our elected officials we also need to demand action from those who fund them. It's our taxpayer money being spent to fund these un-constitutional, un-American, un-accountable goon squads. And it's our consumer dollars that get funneled into campaigns and donations.

3/ - So why the silence? Are they just hoping the dementia-ridden faux-king will toss them some crumbs and/or contracts? Are they content to fight for a slice of a shrinking pie (fewer people with less purchasing power)?

2/ - Fewer people in America mean fewer consumers to buy goods. Fewer people to pay taxes to fund services. Everyone who gets a paycheck pays taxes, even if they're undocumented....though undocumented folks don't get the medicare/medicaid/social security those taxes pay for.

Corporate America's silence is deafening, and confusing from an economics perspective.

We live in a largely service-based, consumerist economy. Labor availability in the service sector is lower than demand. Any reduction to the labor pool will only hurt businesses more.

Twenty years ago I bought a set of All Clad tri-ply stainless steel cookware. I've used it daily since and, unless I warp a piece or two on my induction stove by accidentally heating them too fast, they will out-last me.

I’m having spice cabinet envy

Can't wait for it to arrive in my part of North End

The Niro has a max DCFC rate of 85kw. Since that's a max rate, you're only likely to hit it under ideal conditions (10% SOC at start of charging session, mild ambient temps, and a DCFC capable of delivering the power)

This'll solve that hosing affordability issue....

At least they have all those porch rockers

Same. Night manager at a grocery store.

Might be time for me to start paying for a print subscription again.

Guessing it’s in part due to lots of younger workers on the oil fields in western ND. Why buy if you don’t intend to stay.

Chicago tavern style pizza > deep dish

I’d get on a plane to RDU to see this :)

6/ Wealth that will make you richer and, because you've realized a small bit of the error of your ways and will support programs to ensure these quality inputs with your corporate and individual taxes, everyone richer.

"We all do better when we all do better" -- Paul Wellstone.

5/ Refuse to give another dollar until Congress rectifies this problem, removes the glitches from the system, and re-boots the value creation engine that is a well-functioning US Economy.

One that takes as inputs an educated, healthy, free populace and innovative research and outputs wealth...

4/ The number of actions that stand up to any reasonable reading of "high crimes and misdemeanors" is rising by the day. All you need to do is force some courage into your sponsored lawmakers.

It's time to cut any/all contributions to GOP-aligned politicians, PACs, and other organizations...

3/ What happens in 10 years when we have fewer graduates with lower skills without new fundamental research to build into products, companies, and markets?

We're willingly sending all that future value creation elsewhere. And you helped make it happen. But, it's not too late...just almost too late.

2/ Or perhaps you realized that denying people their basic rights is bad? (if not morally than at least for your bank balance)

This is only the preview of coming attractions. The damage that is done is not just short term, it WILL destroy our long-term prosperity....
