I made one of those cubes a while ago. I used 4 Merv 13 filters and a cardboard base so it can sit on the floor.

I have asthma and allergies triggered by many things but especially the 5 cats we have, built it for that reason not covid.

It’s on a smart plug in my bedroom. It runs when I’m not in the bedroom.

Ever since I set it up the dust in there is way down and haven’t had to use the rescue inhaler while sleeping in weeks.

The filters have gone up in price and the 19 dollar box fan is now 35 bucks.

I guess the word is out. No wonder certain companies are reporting record profits during a pandemic.

Why is he at Walter Reed? He is not a veteran (according to his Wikipedia page).

Who’s paying? Because I am pretty sure he has consistently voted against any healthcare help for the rest of us.

Yup. From Wikipedia

You really should go to Quebec for poutine. That being said, Harvey’s, of all places, makes a passable poutine in Ontario.

Today, the entire nation of Japan reported just 153 new cases of COVID-19, with just 17 in Tokyo and 26 in Osaka. And with 69.6% of the population now fully vaccinated and 76.5% partially vaccinated, we are just about at herd immunity. Of course, everyone is still wearing masks in public at all times. We’re close to beating this thing!
