I have an unfinished basement. It would be a great place for a workshop but some hobbies don’t do well in a dusty environment. Would setting up an air purifier help? Even then I’m concerned it wouldn’t get the entire volume of air....
I would wash the floors and walls to get rid of any dust that is present. Then I would make a room out of plastic sheets. Finally, I would put use a 20" box fan with a 20" furnace filter taped to it to clear the air of dust.
I’ve had this Vax upright for about 5 years. Recently it’s started to cut off when I’m using it. I feel the base - and it’s hot. Any ideas for anything that I can do to fix it?...
I would start by taking it apart and cleaning it. If there’s too much additional load from hair or whatever getting wrapped up in the roller then that would do it.

It wasn’t attempted, it was vehicular assault and reckless driving. Not sure about the definition in AZ though. It was also excessive force when he used the vehicle to ram the trailer and when they intentionally pressed her against the hot tarmac to cause pain or injury.
They will claim qualified immunity, however, in my opinion, a claim of qualified immunity is an affirmative defense in a civil case. Meaning that the individual officer is admitting that they did something, but cannot be held personally liable for it.
Cops have figured out that you can use a rear wrist lock to sprain someone’s wrist without causing any detectible injury. This causes the person to “pull away” and cry out in sudden pain so the cops can claim the person was resisting. That’s why so many cops go to Krav Magna classes. You can also see the cops in this video pushing her into the hot road to basically do the same thing.
I got an invite code and so spent a bit of time browsing around because I'd heard good things about it. But I was surprised at how basic and non-diverse it all is. The forums are preset and are very generic. The conversations are definitely better than Reddit, but no better or worse than the ones I've had with people on Fedi....
I got into it with those guys around summer of 2020 over college kids returning to school in person. I live near a large college campus and we had a newborn so I wasn’t keen on a large number of young people coming into town and giving us covid. Deimos, told me to stop talking about it, so I asked “how do I delete my account?” and I never went back to check on what his response was.
Jokes on them because we got covid several times after our child started daycare a year later.
I’ve noticed that the movie and t.v. industry will not tolerate a static shot. They must always be moving the camera around for no apparent reason. Sometimes they just use a jumpcut every half second or so.
I’m not sure if they think it holds the audiences attention better, but I find it extremely distracting and annoying. Maybe I’ve gotten used to static shots from watching real people do real things on YouTube or whatever. It’s like trying to watch a scene on a ship in a storm with these scenes sometimes.
I will say that older Startrek episodes did have the soap opera feel. My guess is that they’re trying to avoid looking like a soap opera. To me that means audio as well as visual. They mix soap operas in the lower range at a higher volume for older audiences, cutting out the higher vocal range. It makes it sound like they’re in a closet or something.
The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. The article describes it as "the official end of the battle," which seems an overstatement to me, but it's the certainly the end of the initial phase....
I quit using it, but I was using a third party app that didn’t have ads. However, I still insist that there is a way for someone to buy accounts, votes, and even entire subreddits directly from Reddit. The way reddit and other websites turn a blind eye to how many fake accounts they have just doesn’t make sense to me.
Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables are always cheap and plentiful. Fresh is always going to be more expensive because of the way growing seasons work.
In the future we will need more localized greenhouse farming because of water issues in the Southwest where most vegetables are grown (for u.s. consumption)
It is even it’s covered in American cheese which adds no flavor and increases calories by a lot and it’s on a bun made of American wheat, which increases calories by a lot and it’s covered in sugary ketchup and it comes with fried potatoes and a large soda made out of corn syrup.
Turns a normal amount of calories into 2k calories when you add in all the crap.
We also had the owner installed intercom system! I pulled it out since it didn’t work anymore either. On top of that we have Central-Vac! It still works, and my toddler has yet to figure out she could put stuff in there.
This is the only room with the panelling in it’s natural state. The rest of it has been painted over before we bought the house.
There is also faux title paneling with a floral accent in the laundry. Textured paneling in one bathroom. And we had faux marble with gold veins in the master bath before I removed it.
It could, because the requirements will be laughable. This is just a way for them to obfuscate their investment via a third party while virtue signaling.
It’s also a way for them to finger point during election season.
I wonder how much it would cost to hire a 4-5 blackwater type guys to run ‘security’ for him. Just go collect everything from the previous ‘admin’ and tell them to f-off.
