I guess everyone is unaccountable when doing what a billionaire demands.

The concept described here is what us homebuilders call “make up air.” In a tight envelope, when you need to exhaust air, you have to forcibly introduce fresh air to make up the difference. Otherwise your envelope (home) will sit in a vacuum and air won’t move anywhere.

Usually, there is only one window in a bathroom. If you have a fan, turn it on and open the window and it should disappate quickly. If you only have the window and no fan, punch a hole through the drywall to the next room, preferably close to the baseboard for optimal airflow. I assume you are at your “special friend’s house” and trying to hook up. Wait a few minutes and it should clear. Hope this helps!

But honestly, a good temporary strategy. These barriers are a stop-gap measure to slow down cars, but they aren’t good urban planning. What they do well is disrupt the norm and look ugly.

As with all comedy, it exists within context. So far, this is solid.

Edit: now that they are huffing helium, I am genuinely laughing.

I’m missing context on this one. I walk away from Lemmy for ONE day and…

I am outside of the loop and I appreciate your break-down. I am all for paying for useful services, but I have such a backlog of media that I need to watch, I don’t benefit from Trakt. I like a paid business model, though

We should all question a “free” app that lets us spend 1 or 2 or 8 hours a day on their platform. We’ve gotten greedy, thinking that everything should be personal data or advertiser supported.
