Funny, I had a box just like that but blue and it was for Lego

Lol makes me think of the disco guy from Mystery Men. "Disco is NOT dead! Disco is life!"

Looks good, and I never would have thought to have my cutlery 69 but now I see the brilliance of it if the spacing works

I saw an interesting argument, I can't remember where, saying that bland white/beige has become so popular for interior decorating because we are inundated constantly with colourful advertising everywhere in our lives now. So, to be able to retreat to a home without vivid colours blasting you in the face everywhere you look is a relief.

Mathias Wandel on YouTube made some good videos a few years ago about maximizing airflow through a house with fans. One big finding was that rather than having a fan directly in a window or door pointing out it is actually best to have it a few meters away and directed at the opening. That allows the fan's airstream pull in and start moving much more air in the room out the opening. He used strips of paper hanging in doorways around the house and also I think took anemometer readings to get good measures of the airflow.

I think the general theory is to run the fans starting in the evening once the air temp outside is lower than inside, then close up the house in the morning to trap the cool overnight air?

They mention in the article about Reddit now being included in search results and I've noticed that as well. The irony there is that Google results have been so overrun by shitty content farm sites that searching for specific things like reviews or troubleshooting for products or games was virtually useless unless you also included "Reddit" as part of your query since you were more likely to see legit people talking about product issues and solutions. Not to say Reddit isn't astroturfed but certainly not to the level that Google's results are. I'm not totally convinced that Google's deal to crawl Reddit for AI purposes is directly related since bumping Reddit up in the search priority does make search results more relevant in a lot of cases.

It does seem to be an awful time for independent websites and has been for years since the big tech companies have been doing everything in their power to keep people within their walled gardens.
