Home Assistant grabbing data from an Air Gradient sensor.

Looking at this week, it seems like today is indeed the worst day so far.

This is what I came up with.

There’s a HEPA in the magic blue box. Closed off all other windows that could act as air intake. Turned on the bathroom and kitchen fans. They take air from the inside and exhaust it outside. We’re doing ~600 CFM at the intake pipe. The HEPA is tiny in comparison to what a Corsi-Rosenthal box uses but it’s compensated by having a high static pressure fan that can pull much more air through it. If it didn’t work I was gonna go to CT to get some filters and a fan. :D

I got a steady cache of Moldex 2600 for viral particulate reasons. 😂

I don’t like the things you’re saying. 😂😔 I’m gonna look into a filter now.

Do you mean it’s somehow worse than sitting next to a burning fire?

All those buildings over the tree line should be fully visible.

Reaches 125 on the balcony.

And long term economic planning, and therefore public investment in science.

China’s biotech industry has evolved to the point that U.S. and European pharmaceutical giants in the last several months have spent billions to acquire China-developed drugs that could treat cancer if commercialized with regulatory approval. In March, British pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca announced it will invest $2.5 billion in a research and development center in Beijing.

In case you thought research isn’t subject to outsourcing.

There’s a different line for the poor.

The funders who funded him, the think tanks that created his policy, the media that propagandizes his voters, the voters that vote for him, none of those are going away, and the feedback loops connecting them don’t seem likely to be stopping anytime soon.

You should read about what happened to domestic left parties and people after WWII. Also what the US did to left elements abroad. The state of the left in the US today didn’t evolve naturally to its current status quo.

That’s literally the program which benefits their donors.

Thank you! 🙏

I think you understand it correctly. 😂

Asking the tough questions.

Housing construction isn’t funded by existing housing investment. It’s generally funded by debt. Private or public, just like any other capital intensive endeavor. And debt isn’t created by lending people’s savings but by creating new money. By public or private lenders. (Private lenders create money too.) The only thing that is really needed ahead of time is labor, equipment and materials available. Financial capital is created on demand to mobilize those real resources.

Marxists believe Socialism is what Capitalism is necessarily leading to because decentralized markets form centralized monopolist syndicates with complex internal planning

Jesus fucking Christ, I was just talking to a friend about how big corporations with hundreds of thousands of employees resemble centrally planned economies, and how consolidations creates them all around us and the only thing stopping them from becoming fewer is the attempts of some governments that haven’t been regulatory-captured yet to stop it. But regulatory-capture increases with wealth accumulation so if you keep running the system, it tends to total central planning. I haven’t read Marx and neither has he.

On a separate but related point - what stops the system from being somewhat disrupted by labor in a way that redistributes huge amounts of the accumulated wealth, restoring the regulatory regime in favor of labor and restarting the cycle from that point, then repeat. In other words, what’s stopping it from doing a depression-FDR-redistribution every 100 years? I can absolutely see the inevitable end without labor intervention but to my current brain it seems possible to maintain it with. Is this wrong in some obvious way?
