Looking at this week, it seems like today is indeed the worst day so far.
This is what I came up with.
There's a HEPA in the magic blue box. Closed off all other windows that could act as air intake. Turned on the bathroom and kitchen fans. They take air from the inside and exhaust it outside. We're doing ~600 CFM at the intake pipe. The HEPA is tiny in comparison to what a Corsi-Rosenthal box uses but it's compensated by having a high static pressure fan that can pull much more air through it. If it didn't work I was gonna go to CT to get some filters and a fan. :D

I got a steady cache of Moldex 2600 for viral particulate reasons. 😂
I don't like the things you're saying. 😂😔 I'm gonna look into a filter now.
China’s biotech industry has evolved to the point that U.S. and European pharmaceutical giants in the last several months have spent billions to acquire China-developed drugs that could treat cancer if commercialized with regulatory approval. In March, British pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca announced it will invest $2.5 billion in a research and development center in Beijing.
In case you thought research isn't subject to outsourcing.
For all the attention on U.S.-China AI competition, new studies point to China's rapid rise in biotechnology, especially for drug and agricultural development.
There's a different line for the poor.
The funders who funded him, the think tanks that created his policy, the media that propagandizes his voters, the voters that vote for him, none of those are going away, and the feedback loops connecting them don't seem likely to be stopping anytime soon.
BTW, just in case you want a different domain, not saying you do, but I gave feddit.ca to the admins a couple of years ago. 😊
Retried just now on pixelfed.ca and it worked fine. 🙏
Here's a bike for you.

> Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland says she's running against the "Ottawa establishment" as more federal cabinet ministers rally around her top rival Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of Canada.
> "It's central to my campaign to see this not about Liberal elites deciding. This is about the grassroots," Freeland said in an interview on CBC's The House that will air on Saturday.
I see.
Shortly after, tradespeople across Canada burst in flames.
Canada’s plan to reduce the number of immigrants will result in a 1.7 per cent drop in the country's GDP by 2027, according to the federal fiscal watchdog.
> “However, given the sizeable population shock, real GDP per capita would be 1.4 per cent higher in 2027 under the 2025-2027 [Immigration Levels Plan],” the report said
☝️ The better title hidden in a paragraph further down.
> Trump says the United States does not need oil, gas, vehicles, or lumber imports from his allies to the north.
> Trump made the comments Thursday, in his first speech to world leaders since returning to the White House for his second term.

Chrystia Freeland would drop the Canadian government’s policy of raising the capital gains inclusion rate if she wins the race to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister, according to a person with knowledge of her plan.
Do I smell austerity for the working class?
There's still time to catch it if you're around.

> Lately I've had some obviously inaccurate measurements from my Timemore Black Mirror scale. That would happen occasionally but not always. I was charging it today and as luck would have it, I was sitting beside it. I typically charge it unattended. I noticed that it took a very long time to charge and multiple times it seemed to restart charging. I grabbed it to check the cable and noticed it was quite warm in one spot. I though - that's alright, it's likely where the battery cell is, it's charging, lithium cells get warm during charging. Later I took it off the charger and while handling it I examined the hot spot a bit more. I noticed that when I squeezed the scale at that corner, the top plate wouldn't sink towards the bottom as it does in the other corners. A few mental calculations later I figured this could be a swollen cell that has grown so large that it impacts the plates and doesn't let them come together as they do normally. I took it apart.

If the plates don't come nearly as close, you've got an unlit petard in your hands.

To check if your scale is a fire hazard, squeeze this corner:
Normal squeeze action looks like this. Unfortunately I didn't record a video prior to removing the battery.
If it the two plates come together as the do in the other corners, you're probably okay. If the plates don't come nearly as close, you've got an unlit petard in your hands.

Apparently this isn't allowed in !Android and should go here instead.
