correct me if I’m wrong but anything higher than MERV 13 has diminishing returns because of increased resistance. instead of going for increased MERV I recommend getting thicker MERV 13 because of their bigger surface area.

CR boxes rely on raw total air volume and increased ACH vs HEPA which relies on filtering as much air as possible on the first pass.

have you heard of the Ikea Starkvind filters? they’re a bit smaller but you can tape together as many as you want

the PC fan version uses 10W max

so, the Nordic model? how is it progressive to criminalize human functions?

wouldn’t be surprised if the fossil fuels lobby/Russian disinformation are pushing the renewables caused it line

frankly medical processionals should have no say over whether a trans person gets HRT or not.

they should warn you of what might happen if you have health conditions but frankly those interactions aren’t common enough to justify this level of draconian gatekeeping in most societies.

this is why trans people on a DIY regimen often do much better than by asking for “professional” help because most cis doctors are evil, gatekeepers or too ignorant to know what’s good for us.

you missed the point. children can give informed consent to things that might prove harmful down the line, like ballet.

not so much for ADHD meds, because parents often force these on them to make them compliant and as punishment.

there is no medication without side effects. ADHD meds can have bad consequences, but we shouldn’t ban all people from using them. apply the same logic to HRT.

consider private servers. idk if they’re less reactionary though because I haven’t tried them

islamophobe award

they had time since 2014 to get off of Russian fossil fuels. no excuses

wdym by actionable end state?

lmao, genocide deniers with good intentions. that’s an interesting way to frame it

him calling the Uyghur concentration camps “reeducation camps”. also getting his news from Russian sources, like when he defended the Russia annexing Crimea.

this is no conflict, Israel has been committing genocide since the Nakba

they both have a hard-on for authorian regimes is all I mean. I wasn’t comparing their degrees of harm

the vaush and hasan stans of breadtube

no, if anything it will increase them because prices going up is almost always tied to mass layoffs. austerity package and all that.

ignoring the bad faith of comparing Ursula to Charles and assuming that Charles was a supporter of the Palestinian genocide, then absolutely yes. it would be hilarious to finally see a British Royal be held accountable for their genocides.

By that criterion, Xi Jinping and the Iranians are also complicit in Ukrainian genocide

idk what made you think this would be a gotcha moment. this logic is actually very consistent with Albanese’s, any world leaders complicit in genocide should be punished.

I agree Trump should be tried by the ICC as long as you maintain this logical consistency for Biden, who was the first after Oct 7 to mainstream this narrative that Israel is justified in ethnically cleansing Palestine because “all Palestinians are Hamas dontcha know, Jack?”

you seem to have fallen victim to the logical fallacy that claims you can’t focus on more than one big thing at a time.

Talking with a Nazi, does not make you a Nazi.

no it does not, but agreeing with them and being one of their biggest global supporters does.

you’re trying to paint Ursula as a neutral figure, which is the opposite of her track record on Israel.

she’s not just being acused of diplomatic relations with Israel, but for bolstering the genocidal propaganda that blames Palestinians for their own extermination which is exactly what a Nazi would do. also for materially providing the weapons of extermination to Israel even though they’re the aggressor and aren’t in need of financial support.

Not exactly the sort of stuff happening in a genocide.

so you’re just a straight up genocide denier, got it. Israel flattening Gaza and erasing entire cities from existence is an example of Israeli restraint and humanitarianism, I assume.

Von der Leyen is not a country, so the ICJ has jurisdiction over her.

my bad, there was indeed a complaint filed against her at the ICC, which Albanese seems to be referencing. I think she’s right in saying that the ICC should do more even though it would diverge from their normative record because these are extreme circumstances.

Most of those were related to Israel blocking food into Gaza, which von der Leyen actively opposed.

you can’t claim she opposes the withholding of humanitarian aid while at the same time arming the IDF to make it impossible for the humanitarian convoys to go into Gaza. also the IDF bombing said convoys.

that’s like claiming that you couldn’t have possibly known that promoting friendly relations with China and promoting more intense economic cooperation would lead to more Uyghurs ending up in forced labor camps or being ethnically cleansed.
