Hrm. They no longer make filters for my older portable AC. They're carbon filters, so I doubt DIY is a thing? Hopefully running sans filter works ok.

@Phorm @anthracite it's a model called mybook live which is used for home Dropbox stuff. you're should be fine but maybe hold off plugging them in to any internet connected PC for a bit..

@Phorm :D

Did the math on a $75/ton carbon tax, because a group of Senators actually proposed a (much lower) one for once.

For my car it ended up being about a cent per mile. For a the US average light vehicle (cars through SUVs) about 3.5 cents a mile. Or $470 a year for the average driver. Very backbreaking, totally worth the huge conservative freakouts over this shit. /s

( and most of that would come back, because carbon taxes are designed to rebate. Also do the math in the other direction and it ends up being quite a lot more, but the "more" is in the future so GO TEAM RECENCY BIAS")

Story that popped to mind on reading some deeply stupid COVID conspiracy theories:

You know the "we got x to get rid of y to get rid of z" joke? That, but with zombies.

"Oh god zombie apocalypse!"
"Wait zombies eat brains, right? Engineer a prion!"
"Wait prions are infectious to normal people and impossible to sterilize, invent a bacteria to eat them!"
"fuck the bacteria is a problem invent a virus to eat it!"

Hah. So the restrictions from COVID *may* have had a nice side effect: we appear to have wiped out two subtypes of flu viruses. https://statnews.com/2021/06/02/pandemic-upside-flu-virus-became-less-diverse-simplifying-task-of-making-flu-shots/ . At least they're not showing in samples. It'll be a while til we can confirm, fingers crossed.

@Phorm Speaking of, I found out recently that the person that wrote the Burned Fur Manifesto makes porn comics now.

@anthracite Quick question- I'm trying to log my other account back into dragon.style on the web, and the current page doesn't seem to have a login prompt anywhere?

Today at the dog park: a bald eagle! Circling around in the distance. Wasn't sure what bird I was seeing at first, then a flash of white tail feathers made me quite sure...

...and then the crows showing up to mob it away confirmed it for us. 😄

@Phorm 40 is the new 70? o.O Someone was being extra spicy clickbaity

@mawr Sorry

@mawr I just checked and today/tnw are full; they aren't reserving next week yet though so maybe tomorrow that opens? When I signed up they didn't ask for my info til after I had a slot lined up

@mawr If you're willing to drive a ways I was able to get an appointment here https://www.wwmedgroup.com/covid-19vaccine/ and last I checked they have open slots

@anthracite I feel like your second form is one of those that makes you memorize the shot patterns because you can't see anything past the bosses FX :D

@ihorner ...so that's how you're turning on the mic for the next Desert Bus, right? :D

Memory is a weird thing. Someone mentioned the Star Wars hip hop video last night and even though I hadn't thought about the silly thing in 19+ years the first chorus still popped right into my head. :P

(and then Luke's whining because Luke)

And then Parker was silly and got his claws stuck in his collar while scratching.
