So my home office is in our basement while my wife’s is in a finished attic space. We have a mini split system, but it has to be all heat or all cooling, and many days it’s cold in my office, but hot in my wife’s office....
I've been thinking about building a similar system for my home.
I live in a geodesic home and the main floor is almost always at a comfortable temperature but the basement floor is always cold.
Thinking about purchasing some vent booster registers and wiring them in with some ducting in one of the walls to suck the cold air out of the basement and push it up into the main floor or possibly all the way up to the top floor.
I checked AliExpress and there were some sellers there who had what I was looking for in the 40 to $80 range, but I imagine the main cost is going to be dropping 10 to 20 ft of ducting through the walls.
I don't think that one of them by itself will completely solve the problem but I feel like since it would be sucking the coldest air in the entire house and mixing it in with the hottest air in the entire house that it would at least help ameliorate the issues.
I tested the idea with a small blower fan. Well I say small but it's a decent sized and can move a lot of air.
I put it at the base of the stairs and by itself it caused the air temperatures to normalize between the bottom floor and the middle floor.
But it's also super power hungry and I don't want to burn 300 watts of power an hour 24/7 to normalize the Air temps.
There is a central wall that goes from the top to the bottom in the middle of the dome and I believe there is a pocket that I can utilize to hide the ducting.
I guess when I finally execute on the plan I'll take some pictures and show off my handiwork.
There's no such thing as a single nothing. All of the nothings are all the same nothing, there are infinite amounts of nothing but no nothing at all.
Of course there is a limit to nothing because there is something, in a more real and universal sense, but mathematically speaking there is no nothing.
So whenever you divide or multiply anything by nothing all that you get is nothing. If you multiply nothing by itself you end up with nothing. If you divide nothing by itself you get nothing.
When I was a kid I got really fascinated with Zen Koans.
Koans being the kind of self-evident riddles that are most famously popularized by the question, "if a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
And ultimately I ended up creating my own Zen Koan by accident.
That Koan being, "What does nothing look like?"
I did everything in my power to visualize what nothing would look like. I imagined infinite black spaces with nothing around and nothing in it, a void of eternal darkness. Vast mental landscapes devoid of heat or cold for light or dark or sound or wind or air, but it just wasn't "nothing", and I didn't know why.
I tried and I tried and I tried but I couldn't help but feel like I had failed to understand.
Then one day I was standing on a hill, the wind was blowing through my hair, the Sun was shining on me, it was spring outside and the birds were singing and I was trying to visualize what nothingness would look like when I realized the reason why I couldn't visualize nothingness.
I couldn't visualize nothingness because I was looking at it.
If there was nothingness I wouldn't be there to see it.
It was at that moment a space in my brain opened up for the concept of nothing and I understood.
You can't divide nothing by nothing because there's nothing to divide with. You can multiply something by nothing because there is something to multiply with, yes, but you can't divide something by nothing because there's nothing to divide with.

I just read Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency for the first time. I had made up my mind to read it after watching the show which I thought was brilliant but yet again the book was far better.
Now I'm on the lookout for the follow-up, the long dark tea time of the soul.
Even if you have the world's tinkiest dinky you're going to want an elongated bowl just to have some room for the pee to arc out so you don't piss all over your balls.
Isn't it great that somebody is telling us that "everybody has gotten stupider" and at the same time implying that "you are not one of the people that got stupider, of course, dear reader".
It's bullshit. We're not stupider. It's somebody else right? There's obviously got to be some giant group of stupid people out there and what it is is it's the fucking prisoners dilemma and we don't even realize we're in it.
Telling us that we are smart and educated of course and there's some invisible group of stupid people out there fucking everything up so there's nothing we can really do about it?
it's fucking mind control.
And you know, I personally hate being mind controlled by weird deceptive language.
Look past the article, find what they're actually reporting on and think for yourself okay?
"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time" -Abraham Lincoln
And my corollary to that is that you can hire all of the people that you can't fool all of the time and get them to help you fool all of the people that you can fool all of the time.

I have tried using peertube a couple of times, there are some good videos there but it's also a place where, and this is my personal opinion, the wackadoos gather, because there's less quality content shouting them out.
It could be a viable YouTube replacement but it needs a lot of independent server hosts federating the content so that you get quality of speed and playback and it needs more people posting content to that.
In other words it's halfway there, but it needs participation, money and development to get the rest of the way.
I’m in the post-ban blackpilled mode right no so please forgive me. I know reddit is falling apart but it isn’t happening fast enough. Is there any hope that the whole site will be destroyed? I really just want the whole site / app completely destroyed and thew Vichyite mods unable to have their power trips anymore.
I left the site when they announced the API changes and honestly it's kind of like coming down off of a drug. I was so used to filling my free time by just Doom scrolling through Reddit and without rif to make it easy for me it just isn't worth the effort. I'm not going to use their shitty app, I'm not going to browse their mobile site, and I'm not going to support a company that doesn't listen to its users.
I don't use Facebook or any meta products for that reason.
I don't shop at Walmart for similar reasons. I don't shop at Amazon for similar reasons. I don't shop at home Depot for similar reasons. Vote with your wallet, vote with your time, and that's not just at the polls but in your daily life.
You may be a drop in the bucket but don't be a drop in a bucket of gasoline when the world is already on fire.
I've used shotcut quite a bit. It's pretty decent, my only gripe with it is that it's ability to handle captions is fairly terrible but if you have an alternate method for captioning then it's everything most people would need.
I’d like to build a ducting system to actively push air from one room to another. Is that a thing?
