Fires this year
« on: Wed, 15 July 2026, 05:41:11 »
Not in the headlines, but they're VERY BAD.

Air purifiers, You're gonna need 1x per room.  Don't buy a big one, just get several small ones and close the door to the room.  Less loud, m0ar clean air.

The big ones need alot of RPM to achieve their "claimed" peak output, LOUD.

Stay off-brand, Branded cost2x-10x as much, it's the same stuff. Paper filter + fan, there's no special technology.

Avoid or disable the ionizers (plasmawave, etc),  it creates black soot.

-- It's odd that the news writes, Vibrant Fiery Sunsets,  to describe the CLIMATE CATASTROPHE that it is.

There have been large fires in southern Europe in the past few weeks during the heat-wave, but I suppose US news don't mention that either.

Speaking about warm weather must be considered too "woke", I suppose.

It's great most of the time.

If we're heading into an Energy Sparse world,  is canada which requires 1 too many steam cores, going to be a stable place to live.

There might be a transition period where, people have to leave because we're out of energy, then it gets so hot down south, they have to go back because now it's livable again having become temperate.

Brands to avoid, mainly due to price.

Winix
Levoit
Coway

Everything else is decent.

Don't worry about CADR rating, it's irrelevant, because they're all too loud @ the peak setting.

Just look for 12inch x 12 inch unit,  run it on low or medium, 24/7, door closed, 1 per room.


A small oscillating fan in the room helps greatly with filtration efficiency.  Point it at the wall diagonally.

Day 2 surviving the DeathKloud.


Tp4 sat lamely as he reflects on his complicity in the ecological nightmare. The reaper has come to collect, debt owed, 1x Civilization.

Basicallly, every 100 points in AQI is about 1 extra cigarette smoked per day.

So, if you stayed out side all day,  You smoked 3-5 cigarettes today, @ 300-500 AQI.


This is why people born in NewDelhi have grey / black lungs (instead of pink) by the time they're 20-30, they discovered this in autopsies on young people.

There's no one with healthy lungs there.

Imagine being born, you're a baby, and you smoke 3-5 cigarettes PER DAY, EVERY DAY.

And SOMETIMES,  10 cigarettes a day.  :-X
