  • Importantly, they’ve given you a whole months notice. Figure out what happens with your PL (are you unlimited? Then make sure to take the max time your manager will allow, if not figure out if it gets paid out), two, don’t let them terminate you early, try to still be employed by the 1st of Jan, it helps with health insurance sticking around a little longer, and third, figure out what’s going on with severance. Potentially it’s in your favor to tell them you WILL come in, then no-show, rather than say you won’t and get laid off next week.

    Finally: you got plenty of employable skills and people are hiring. To help do these 2 things: if you’ve got employee reviews from the past few years, email those to your personal email cause it might have accomplishments in it, 2) get a copy of the job description for your position, whatever skills it lists, you have em already, or they wouldn’t have hired you!




  • I wonder if the main benefit is from switching to a airflow optimized fan that has suddenly been put into a static pressure system (the lasko) to fans that are designed for significant pressure (the arctic fans).

    It’s a reasonable idea, but the filter cube is based on ease, basically only has 2 parts (plus tape, so 3), and you can get at of them at your local Meijer or lowes, no special order, no wiring. This adds complexity and cost for a nicer experience. At some point it makes sense to just buy yourself a coway





  • I suspect the added cost/environmental cost of adding a slightly more complicated setup than panel <-> fixed resistor, such as an mppt would be a worthy tradeoff.

    I understand the point of the blog is to reduce the inputs to simplify, especially in eschewing batteries, but I suspect the loss in efficiency of not tracking the max power point would be significant.

    I do like the concept though, in terms of shifting heat from daytime to later in the day, and localizing it into a box, rather than heating your whole house. It feels like the kind of thing you would put in your bedroom to help keep it warm into the evening.
