Time to build: about 45 mins (not including soldering the power supply)
Materials:
(4) $5 Arctic P12 fans
(2) $10 10x20x1 1200D filtrete MERV-11 filters
(2) $7 20x20x1 1500 MERV-12 filtrete filters (pack of 12 off ebay)
duct tape
zip ties
cardboard
12V power supply (free because I soldered a random old adapter, but normally $10 plus $3 or so for a splitter. Or get the fans with built-in splitters)
Total: approx $55, next one will cost about $70.<…

Top view of the CR box with it running. The black row of fans sits atop the cardboard with the rectangular hole cut out. The hole is not visible due to the fans, and there is silver duct tape keeping the fans in place (and air sealing).
The view inside of the CR box from the (open) bottom. You can see a rectangular box made of 3m filtrete vent filters. The box is 20" long on one side, and 10" on the other side. At the bottom of the box (which, since it's upside-down, is actually the top) is the cardboard seen previously with a rectangle traced on it. Now there's a rectangle cut out of the cardboard, roughly following that traced line but maybe half an inch in. Thus the row of fans sits on the cardboard, with a 1/2" lip keeping…
4 black (P12) PC fans in a row on the floor. The screw holes in each corner have tiny zip ties through them, connecting each fan to its adjacent fan. I used 6 zip ties on top and 6 zip ties on the bottom, but that was unnecessary and next time I'll use 3 zip ties on top and 3 on the bottom. The wires coming from each fan are plugged into each other.
The row of fans, now a sold block thanks to the zip ties, on top of a piece of cardboard. There's a line traced on the cardboard that fits the row of fans.

Good article on yesterday's voting results for POTUS.
I keep thinking of how the media is pushing these (inaccurate) polls. I expect it to be a key context for the inevitable shenanigans we'll see from Republicans.
They'll claim voter fraud (as always), find a way to push some swing state vote counts to the courts --> SCOTUS --> installation.
And even non-partisans will refer back to "all those polls over the past few months showed it was really cl…

Text from article: So, to sum up, the pollsters are using the 1% “weirdos” who bother to complete polls, whom they know are political extremists, to create datasets and publish polls that are way, way off, creating totally false narratives and expectations. Pollsters can’t be too openly critical of their own industry because that would put them out of a job. But these polls are so useless and wrong that the public is actually worse off from being told about them at all. If the national poll…

This weekend it's "days of open atelier" in Brandenburg country. We've visited the wonderful place of Silke Schmidt. It's quite magical #Uckermark

Four-panel image showing sketches of a girl with flowing hair and birds flying around on the first two panels, and a sketch of a seated woman reflected in a mirror on the third panel. The fourth panel depicts the reflection of the girl sketch blurred as if
Artwork depicting a line drawing of a young girl's face with a bird perched to the right, set against a blue-gradient background, displayed on a wall.
A framed painting depicting an interior scene with a chandelier is displayed on a surface, with another artwork partially visible in the background.
