This is my go to: 3M Particulate Respirator 8233, N100 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MCV43K?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Throw a bandana on over it. You can pull both down and back up pretty easily while not looking like you are cooking out of your basement.

This fan. Turn it on high and aim it at you. If you want to be downright frigid get a spray bottle of water and mist yourself. The evaporative cooling will ice you down quick.

If something like the Noria ever actually launches and is reasonably priced I'd be tempted to get one for the bedroom.

Too Beautiful for Words by Monique W. Morris, and the song it is based on, Me and Jesus the Pimp in a 79 Granada by The Coup.

Thanks for this. Definitely putting this in my queue.

The kindle edition is free on Amazon!

Yeah, I would also say to start carrying pepper spray just in case it's needed as a last resort - it's cheap and portable. If you don't have any experience with it, practice using it (NOT into the wind) so you have some muscle memory if you ever have to actually use it. I like this one.

Amazon, over the years my boyfriend and I have just gone to bulk micronized creatine. Careful if you like caffeine because it is easy to OD on micronized caffeine. My boyfriend used to be a fan of Jack'd, but since that got stripped of ingredients neither one of us partake in amino acids.

I am also going to be trying out VitaCost for my next shipment of protein.

I just want him and everyone who takes advantage of musicians/artists to go away.

Or be a human being and take some of the money you are collecting/stealing and buy $200 worth of fire prevention equipment from Amazon. A fire extinguisher is $20. A fire blanket is $12. Our safety is a collective effort. Nobody has any excuses especially those who are profiting from this community.

Regular lotion won't cut it (not even lubriderm). Get yourself some Eucerin or comparable (eg Aquaphor or Cerave). The good stuff comes in a tub.

I have one like this that I use for tools. I have the lean-to side secured to my house and replaced the lock hardware it came with with a hidden shackle lock.

Living for the city does a good job of filling in these blanks

Edit: For grammar

> That's why I say understand how the system works and, yes, resign yourself to it

My guess is that you would not be saying this if you were the one getting the short end of the capitalist stick. It's very easy to say "that's just how it is people" when you are not the one suffering. To say "well then just get a better job, what's the problem?" is the thinking of a child; it shows you have very little understanding of the local economy and historical political and social forces that keep poor people poor.

My guess is that you are not super rich or even "rich" by any stretch of the imagination, which is why you feel justified in writing the things you do. Even so, surely you have eyes to see that your neighbors are not less intelligent, resourceful, or hard-working than you. The economic system that is in place is one that is unjust and unhealthy. Accommodating yourself to such a system is not a sign of intelligence.

If you're interested in learning more, I highly recommend this book by Cornel West and Tavis Smiley: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1401940633 - apologies for formatting, I'm on mobile.

Well, it may sound tidy but the basic laws of nature are often tidy in that way. But at a more fundamental level it's not that people bring some expectation that things should precisely cancel, (obviously it shouldn't!) but rather that's the answer you get when you run the calculations (as I understand it, that's waaaaay above my pay grade).

The expectation isn't exactly that things work in reverse, some laws do work that way (Newton's laws, most basic quantum mechanics, a bunch of others) but some don't. Entropy (the 2nd law of thermodynamics) is a great example. But we do expect CPT to be a true symmetry, although I forget the exact reason why (it may have something to do with Noether's theorem).

Does that make sense? You can find some people who will argue that physicists have certain weird blind spots (Lost in Math is a recent book that makes that argument), but generally speaking the big questions in our current theories are guided by the theories themselves. Baryogenesis is a big one, merging QM and Relativity is another, the nature of dark matter/energy yet another. The main thing these have in common is that our current theories/models can't explain them, so the question is what direction to go in.

This is approximately what you want, and about $400! I'd imagine a custom one-off would end up being more than that.

I have this one.Pretty much the same as jxcb345's. You want to the sort of trigger type pull on it, not the squeeze type.
