Let's say I wanted to get an AirFanta for travel, but use it with bigger filters at home. How hard would adapting it standard HVAC filters be?

I haven't seen the AirFanta in person. I'm imagining it could be as simple as cutting a square hole into a piece of chloroplast or foam board that sits on top of the filters. Maybe with some foam tape to make some kind of gasket for it to seal into and still be more easily removable than taping it and untaping it.

Was considering picking up some mice from this site. Any info about it?

If something shows as in stock, is it generally actually in stock?

POI laid out an example of AI worship early on

Now we're living through it, but people aren't worshipping AGI, they're worshipping stuff like LLMs which can't possibly produce an AGI by definition.

Does AI worship show that POI's Root is the most optimistic portrayal possible?

When using the friends function, is it reddit-account specific?

Is there any way to make it global?

I had a showerthought idea of a non-profit which is unrealistic for many reasons, but it sounded cool in my head:

• It is a restaurant that serves simple, healthy food, where customers pay what they can in donations or volunteer for dishwashing shifts.
• It also teaches cooking classes where you pay what you can or volunteer for dishwashing shifts.
• It is also a knife trial service and shop, with a library of knives available for people to try.
• You can pay 10% of the cost of a knife or minimum $20 to try it while working a 2-3(?) hour prep shift.
• If you cannot afford this, you can substitute X number of dishwashing shifts where X is some value commensurate with the knife's price.
• You can pay 10% the cost of a stone or minimum $5 to try it out on your own knives for Y hours or any of the basic service knives not part of the library. Or the same above arrangement with the dishwashing shifts instead of payment.
• Same arrangements as above for cooking classes, but the prices are increased because there's no labor output from the knife or stone trials.
• If you break the knife or stone, you buy it.
• If you paid to trial a knife or a stone, half the cost of the trial is deducted from your purchase price of a new knife or stone.

This is one of those 'hey wouldn't living in a co-op be great' type of ideas for sure, but maybe it's entertaining at least.

What are your unrealistic knife business ideas?

I'm having some trouble reconciling the notion of a qualitative testing with adjusting fit for Zimi masks, because some of the steps are difficult or not possible to undo.

Cutting a slit at the nose of the gasket is helpful, but can't be undone.

Applying nose foam is also helpful, and somewhat difficult to undo. Side note: any tips for removing and repositioning nose foam?

It's also challenging because adjusting one of these may affect how the other affects fit.

How do you approach adjusting these, and how many rounds of tweaks do you go through before committing to a qualitative fit test?

I understand that much of this may come from experience of wearing the masks day to day, and also I'm curious to learn of any obvious pitfalls to avoid wasting masks.

Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out what the jugs' interior dimensions at the base are, from narrowest to widest, and how their geometry compares at the base, since narrower bases seem to perform better.

Also if anyone has a Waring MX series 64oz steel container CAC90, how does it compare in terms of base and overall geometry?

I need to use minimal liquid to puree everyday foods (meat, veg, whole grains) into a single puree for a cancer patient. The idea is to maximize the amount of calories and nutrients for a given volume of food.

Stainless steel or glass containers are highly preferred.

Info on current (not vintage) Warings is very difficult to find, which could be a good or bad thing, e.g. maybe they just work and only restaurants buy them.

I've heard the Ascent is relatively quiet for what it does.

I've also heard the Ascent can accept Waring SS containers: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vitamix/comments/pup3g5/stainless_steel_containers_waring_vs_vitamix/

Does anyone have experience for this use case of making a single combined meat, veg, and whole grain puree with minimal liquid (1/4-1/2 cup?)?

I can't seem to get aliases working. I tried troubleshooting it using youtube but got flagged as a bot after too many attempts in a short amount of time.

What's a good website or other method to troubleshoot why aliases aren't working?

I'm looking to increase ventilation in my apartment and I understand this means I'll need additional dehumidification.

The portable dehumidifiers I've used in the past are quite loud.

Is it just luck of the draw? Can oversizing the dehu to run at a lower speed work?

I'm open to rigging up a whole house dehu as a portable unit.

I'm new to Zimi masks and have only ever worn masks that clearly go down and around the jawline to 'cup' the chin (eg Aura)

Do Zimis fit more 'on the front of the chin' or do I need to size up from a medium?

I like to download m4as of some videos e.g. lectures for general device portability and listening in the car, but otherwise prefer to just get the best quality video (which usually doesn't use m4a audio format, otherwise I'd just extract the audio track).

This gets tricky with --download-archive, as it doesn't distinguish between video and audio downloads.

Anyone come up with a good system to manage this? Maybe I just take the L and extract the audio track and lossy convert to m4a?

I opened a jar and forgot about them on the counter for a few days. Can they be stored at room temp?
