  • I have zero experience with these things (never even heard of them), but if you’re talking about some sort of passive system designed to condense water vapor out of conventional dryer exhaust, there’s no way something relying on an ice pack is going to make a meaningful dent in the water content of that air.

    Dryer vent air can be about 120F at ~20% relative humidity (per a Google search). Looking at the psychrometric chart on engineeringtoolbox.com, if you were to cool that air down to 70F, it would be at 100% relative humidity (otherwise known as the dew point), meaning you wouldn’t have removed any moisture from the air…

    Practically speaking, you’d basically just be massively increasing the humidity in your space… eventually it would likely condense on any surfaces in your home and increase the likelihood of mold growth.












  • Yeah, Paul was bouncing around like an idiot. Tyson didn’t have his legs and kept fucking around with his mouthpiece.

    The whole fight looked like a kid who took a couple boxing lessons at the local fight gym challenged someone’s grandpa who used to fight.





  • You do realize that’s exactly what Wegovy is, right? Ozempic was being prescribed off-label for weight loss so much, it was severely impacting supply for diabetics who needed it to manage their diabetes. They put the drug through a second round of FDA testing to get approval as a weight loss drug.

    And, as someone taking Wegovy for weight loss… it’s no shortcut. It absolutely makes it easier to control your appetite but the side effects are non-trivial. I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life and I feel lucky I wasn’t heavier when I started, but before this I’ve been anywhere between 235 and 320 up and down for the last 15 years. This medication makes me feel, finally, like I’ve got a shot at losing the weight and getting it to a safe level.

    Now… if you’re talking about the people who want to take it for 2 months to lose some vanity weight before beach season… I absolutely agree.
