15% of the population are under 12 and almost 5% are over 80.

ed: actually, it seems like “85%” is just bullshit. Probably closer to 95% Wondering if this might not be a decade+ old chart.

The real goal of fake news: there is no reality, only this moment’s convenient story.

I honestly can’t tell whether her intent is to block any counter-climate change projects or if this is just a dumb chemtrails thing.

I mean, I assume it’s chemtrails, given the source, but it could easily be a “I like the smell of forest fires, and you’ll reduce hurricane intensity over my dead body.” Given the source.

Need new rules in House and Senate, too. The majority party gets majority in all the committees, gets to pick all the committee chairs, etc. All of the current non-D/non-R members ‘caucus’ with one of the major parties, making them de facto members of that party. A third party with enough representation to block the other two from gaining majority would almost certainly end up in an alliance with one, leaving us back with functional two-party politics.

I love the story that Napolean went to the unimaginable luxury of having a whole set of aluminum tableware made up to awe his visitors.

Not exactly the same, but I have an air quality sensor I use to turn the HVAC fan mode on/off to filter. Also a CO2 sensor. Both wired to the RPi I run homeassistant on. The HVAC is controlled via T6 pro Z-wave now, but I started out with a Zooz Zen15 switch to just turn the whole thing on/off.

The CO2 sensor has been pretty stable for 4(?) years - it has an internal recalibration routine that resets its baseline based on the past week’s data. My readings range from 400-ish with the windows open & fans to 1200+ cooking with gas in the sealed house. Averages around 800 with the AC or 500 with the furnace (which exhausts combustion gasses). The aq sensor has been replaced once after 3-4(?) years. It reads exactly what purpleair says is outside with the windows open, drops to 0-2 µg/m3 with the filters running, spikes to 300+ cooking.
