Reply to comment by blind_bambi in TIL that the 'funny bone' is not actually a bone in the arm, but a nerve. The ulnar nerve is connected from shoulder to hand and is protected by bones and muscles. As it passes thru the elbow it is only protected by the cubital tunnel, making it the most prone area in the body to 'strike a nerve'. by deddPan

You can easily flick it intentionally as well. Not as intense of a feeling but weird as hell.

The only thing I like is the magnetic slide lid which is easy to clean. And the fact that they are dishwasher safe. I rarely use mine.

Had an insulated water bottle by them that I threw out because I couldn't unscrew the mouthpiece apart from the lid due to crappy design.

They are heavy, decent, overpriced, and not for me.

My daily right now is a bubba insulated 32oz Tumblr for iced coffee. Hot is one of my 2 zojirushis.

I bring a mug with me to work. Zojirushi keeps it hot as hell. Pour some out in a mug to cool when I want more lol.

They are great to bring around though. Going out for the day at a relative or friends house and plan on staying there long enough to have coffee but not want theirs because they have a Keurig or never have good coffee? Pour some in before you go in the morning and you'll have piping hot coffee at 8pm when you need it for the drive back

Reply to comment by kinkodorobo in BIFL recommendations for an air purifier/filter and oscillating room fan? by contradictoryhuman

Just got a rabbit air after a bunch of research. It does hepa filtration as well as odor. May get a second unit, likely the Conway 1512 to increasey coverage.

One thing to look at is cost analysis of the filters. Many brands may be great but I found it ridiculous how after 2 years you could be paying more than double what your air purifier costs.

My rabbit air a3 will cost around 120 bucks 1x a year as the machine is meant to run 24/7.

Another thing is warranty. Rabbit air offers 5 years which is great. For my son's bedroom we went with a levoit as they are relatively inexpensive to keep up and running.

Blue air is nice but some of the models I don't like their prefilter. It's basically some cloth that slips over the bottom. Which brings me to another point. Washable prefilters.

Overall, in your search you need to look for something with a washable prefilters, reasonably priced filters, ideally good on power consumption, and one with a good cadr.

If you suffer from Allergies you ideally want your purifier to do 4+ air changes per hour. Depending on how open the space is you may need 2 units or more. Which is precisely why I'm looking for a second to ensure that.

As for cadr. You need to do some math to figure out what you need. Room area x height of ceiling to get cubic feet.

Then take cadr and multiply it by 60 to get cubic feet per hour.

Take that and divide by the room size. The higher the better.
