Saw this on r/homeowners and it got me thinking, is there a product like this that works in reverse (instead of blowing air into the room it pulls air out of the room)?

I live in an old apartment building with terrible ventilation. My bathroom does not have a fan, but it has a vent that is this shape. I saw someone talking about these "register boosters" that basically act as vent-shaped fans pulling cool air from the vent into the room. Now, I don't need that, but it would be awesome to have one of these work in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION: a fan that pulls the hot, humid air out of the bathroom and pushes it into the vent. Does such a thing exist? This seems like it'd be such an easy quality of life improvement and would only require unscrewing the existing vent cover and screwing in the new one.

Which of these 3 rental options makes the most sense? I'm stumped!

I recently got a new job that's about a 35 minute drive from my current apartment. I had been planning to move to a rental house with my partner over the last several weeks, however he broke up with me a few days ago and that plan has completely gone out the window.

My current lease is up July 31. My new job pays $72,000 per year. I will be renting a place by myself for the foreseeable future. I'm considering the following 3 options. Each of the options calculates my total cost for the month (including rent, estimated utilities, parking, AND gas for my commute to work).

  1. Stay put. Cost: $2,106 per month. Commute: 14,300 miles annually. Commute Time: 35 minutes each way. **Least expensive, wouldn't have to move, closer to my parents' house. However, I've already notified the leasing office that I planned to move and my unit is already listed for rent. I may not be able to stay.
  2. Move to New Apartment Complex. Cost: $2,130-$2,325 per month (1 vs. 2 bedroom). Commute: 9,698 miles annually. Commute Time: 25 minutes each way. **Closest to my new job, I know someone who already lives there. Not the biggest fan of the apartment size/layout and it's the most expensive option.
  3. Move to Townhouse. Cost: $2,091 - 2,111 per month (1 vs. 2 bedroom). Commute: 10,140 miles annually. Commute Time: 28 minutes each way. **Largest space with my favorite layout, still closer to the new job. Farthest away from my parents' house and may not be practical for 1 person.

Am I stupid to move? Is a difference in almost 5,000 miles per year of wear and tear on my car worth it to move closer to work? I am at a total loss for what I should be prioritizing here.

Flyers Bus Tour - What to Expect

Wanted to share with everyone what to expect from the bus tour making the rounds today as they just left the first stop.

Time: they left PROMPTLY after 30 minutes. Show up early if you want swag because once they put it away on the bus, you are out of luck.

Swag: Pic is all the swag they’re handing out. Yard signs, posters, rally towels, coozies, foam pucks, and necklaces. NOT PICTURED: they handed out forms to enter a giveaway for playoff tickets.

Pictures and videos: Highly encouraged and they were taking their own too. Gritty and the Flyers cheerleaders were there and happy to take pictures with everyone! They showed up in a Flyers branded bus with 2 other Flyers branded vehicles in tow. No celebrity appearances from what I saw.

Go Flyers!!
