I was amused to learn it existed. I worked in a cold warehouse but the battery room (where they charge the forklifts) was always too cold, so they put a Big Ass Fan in to push the warm air down from the ceiling. “Wait, is that really its name?” Yup.

The assembly shop I work in now has two of these fans. Feels like once I learned they existed, I started seeing them everywhere.

“We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.”

Here is mine.

Voter turnout was low in 2024 compared to 2020. I made a conjecture as to why that’d be the case when the stakes were so damn high. But fuck me for trying to point that out.

You don’t need to convince me that Trump is much worse.

Not half of everyone voted. I think we’d be better off if they did, but I can’t blame them too much for sitting out when the other side still supports a genocide.

I am surprised that Symphony of the Night isn’t on there.

Fair enough. However, they should release the footage regardless. Especially since 4 people got shot, 2 of which were bystanders, and that this was over a cheap fare. Cops are pretty untrustworthy.

Probably because there was no knife in the footage.

So Israel deployed snipers using lethal ammunition to target protesters with excessive force. In this case, a US citizen. For some reason, this event reminds me of the Boston Massacre. Protesting the slaughter means you get slaughtered too.

I’m guessing we’ve abandoned all pretext of a red line that Israel can cross and they’re free to do whatever, and the whole situation just feels like we’ve decided that we’re on the side of evil because we keep supporting this. Might as well start putting skulls on our caps.

I have a similar story, except the people I asked about it convinced me it might be a scam. I bought some later, but it wasn’t the lifechanging amount it could’ve been.

Looking at other sources, it looks like they’re shipping them to other counties. Now they’re homeless somewhere else. How heartwarming.

Biggest, not all.

Abuse doesn’t usually fix anything.

I used to work in HVAC. I remember we had a small cold room that was struggling to maintain temperature, as in, design was supposed to be 0°F but it couldn’t get below 36°F. There was a large hole in the box that was undoubtedly the cause of the problem, so I asked the installer how they accounted for that. “Oh, I doubled the infiltration value.” When I tried calculating the actual losses it was way, way higher than the infiltration value. Like, the room needed someting like 3-4 times its total refrigeration capacity to reach target with a giant fucking hole in the box.

No idea who thought putting a giant hole in the box was a good idea.

Was your revenge worth it, Arno? He did not care who he hurt in order to hurt Fran. Fran, who had no say in what was done to him. Fuck Arno.

Good.

Judge Judy. I like this modification of the phrase.

Raublut screwed over Hildebrand pretty hard. Were we ever told why he encouraged Hildebrand to get his schtappe?

The purpose of a system is what it does.
