  • Research and shop around for a type of fan called a centrifugal blower or utility blower. These fans are designed specifically for entire space ventilation. They sound like tiny jet engines. The same fans that inflate bouncy fun houses or the fans you sometimes see on a storefront wet floor during a rainy day to blow dry. Output rates of small units 100 to 500cfm (cubic feet per minute) will replace all air inside a 2-car garage space every hour. Mid range blowers 600-900cfm will replace that same air space every 5-10min (approx. 6x per hour). Higher velocity blowers >1000cfm will clear an entire 1-story house (typically for HVAC or factory use) and is more efficient and quieter than the biggest attic fan style unit.

    After you have bought the raw power of air movement, then experiment with positive pressure and negative pressure flow setups (suck vs. blow). And then finally other per room or per window configurations as needed.

    Hi, OP. I can't tell if in the background that is a art canvas or an air filter directly behind the space heater. I have that same Honeywell heater with a 2-blade fan. They are nice, quiet, and work just fine. If using it as an ambient air cleaner, with fan-only (no heat) mode - that will be fine --very restrictive, yes, but still catches some dust i guess. A note on the 2-blade... they perform the worst pulling air thru a filter. A 2-blade is just a cost-effective fan design for small air movement things; like space heaters and tiny desk fans. Anything with more than 2 blades will perform better. That's my nerd thoughts.

    tldr; space heater fire hazard possible 😎.

  • I think I remember this way back to web 1.0. Maybe the beginning part of a foreign Alzheimer's awareness psa commercial? Or maybe "everybody makes bad decisions... but we don't.. call xyz tax preparer".

    I must've called a thousand times

  • Did Weird Al Yankovic do a song called "Hold me close tiny spider"?

  • Burglars: Merry Christmas, little fella. We know that you're in there, and that you're all alone.
    Kevin: Yup.

  • I'd likely guess it would be the sudden spike of ingesting of lard (in refried beans), oils, salt, and spices.

  • ISO 7304-2:2008 defines a standard for cooking spaghetti. Subsection 3.9 "Completeness" closely resembles "al denté" but isn't true al denté; as 3.9 states "no white core visible" when a noodle is inspected crosswise with a razor blade. Al denté phase is sensed via the teeth for texture differential of the inner and outer part of a spaghetti. No agreement has been reached by international consortium of Italian food preparers and dentists as to which tooth is to be used. Thus, the standard must be reviewed every 5 years by sensory analysis.

  • Some VCR popular brands had the TV Guide™ feature. In the TV Guide little magazine near the checkout counter you lookup the show on a chart. And if it had a 5 or 6 digit number in bold next to it -- punch that into the VCR. And it'll program it to record it.

    This technology partnership failed because it required people to have properly set the clock beforehand. If one could do that troddening thru the menus or instruction manual, then they probably won't need to buy the magazine.

  • This is interesting. I use OTA antenna tv everyday, almost exclusively. I almost forgot OTA HDTV still uses the mpeg2-ts, similar to the dvd codec. Newer tv hardwares (>2010-ish) all can decode mpeg4, theoretically, since they utilize internet streaming apps and services.
    I smell a new format war a comin'.
    I say, go right for mpeg4 h.265, or higher. Instead of mixing mpeg2 and mpeg4, like the video demonstrated. Because no way am i going to "buy" a DRM-protected thing for every broadcaster.... I'm currently pulling-in 20+ stations.

    And that may be the other format war... to pay or not to pay.
