Any conspiracy that you hear about more than two or three times is actually a part of a deeper conspiracy to create so much conspiracy chaff that finding the truth becomes impossible.

The actual deep state Illuminati whatever thing that's behind it all running everything are really just a bunch of powerful old rich people who have capped out on money bringing them any joy in life and the only thing they have left that brings them any excitement is keeping people down.

We have enough financial resources that every person on the planet could work 20 hours a week and have a house and have time to spend with their community and accomplish things that are meaningful to them, but in order for those resources to be distributed fairly we would have to identify the people that are hoarding it and divest them of their horde.

I really wish it would, but the people that are the decision makers at businesses simply do not care what Microsoft does as long as it doesn't impact their bottom line. Yes it's incredibly user hostile. Yes it's an administrative nightmare for the IT people, but for the suits that write the checks? It's just the cost of doing business and they literally could not give a fuck if you paid them.

Well like if everyone was suddenly set to have 10 million US dollars in their bank accounts and all debts canceled, there would be an immediate inflation as most people would quit their jobs immediately and getting services provided would become practically impossible to anyone that doesn't do them themselves, not to mention the fact that goods would also become absurdly expensive as no one would bother with the task of selling goods when they already have so much money on hand.

However, due to the sudden lack of goods and services this would destabilize the entire country, and there would be riots in the streets.

After all of that hubbub was dealt with, things would generally return to exactly the same as they are right now as the extra money flows into the hands of those who have the most goods and services to offer and the machines with which to create more goods, and eventually those who do not have the institutional advantages would return to being poor due to their lack of having institutional advantages.

Snark aside, how unlikely is my prediction?

Options for equalizing temperature between the basement and the rest of the house in summer?

I live in a pretty old house in the midwest, built 1929, bought in '21, single-story, ~1300ish sqft, and with a large, spacious basement. Every time summer comes around I've had issues with the basement getting MUCH colder than the rest of the house (like >10 degrees F difference), presumably due to poorly-insulated floors and...

I've had this conversation before.

I live in a geodesic dome and the finished basement is always noticeably cooler than the main floor and top floor.

As a test, I got a blower fan and put it at the basement stairs blowing the air from the very bottom of the house up towards the middle floor.

After about a day the temperatures equalized enough that it was difficult to tell the difference between the Middle floor and the basement.

Doing that causes the colder air to mix in with the warmer air upstairs, and the registers pull the warmer air in and blow out dehumidified air back into the basement, so no moisture build up.

The only downside is the noise and energy costs to run a fan. Probably 400 watts.

What I want to do is get a 4 inch duct fan and place that in the wall and run ducting from the basement up to the top floor so that the cold air is constantly being reblendid back up with the rest of the air upstairs.

I feel like that would use much less power and do a decent job of blending the two.

Maybe you can find something like that that will work for you.

Magic. And not ledgerdemain or magic that looks like things just kind of happened that sort of way, I'm talking magic missile, fireball, flying through the air blowing shit up, summoning familiars, castles in the sky, all that shit.

And when a certain billionaire realizes he's lost way too much money and wants to offload this website he purchased for way too much you could just write a check.

Or you can like pay off all the student loan debt because you just happen to have 1.3 trillion dollars in your wallet.

I saw a couple episodes when I was a very small child and I don't remember anything racist. They were just like running from the cops and solving crimes sometimes right?
