    OMG that’s exactly what my kiddo has been saying. (He uses the “pointless” point to argue the irrelevance of homework) Except he’s not expecting it to blow over, because there’s the next few decades to get through.

    This is his favorite GIF for this time.

    I think I'm mostly echoing the sentiments of my cat here, who clearly doesn't understand what's happening and why she feels extra tired all the time

    Fair enough. Maybe I should add some mint essence to this pot of water
    Aaron Parecki
    Update: peppermint is dangerous for cats, don't do that

    Crap. Facts take away even this one small relief. Have you found anything that does work?
    Aaron Parecki
    Nothing. Nothing helps, everything is pointless. Eventually it will all blow over but until then we'll all just be miserable. 🙃

    Boiling with electric or gas?
    Aaron Parecki
    Electric 😕 but as much as I like cooking with gas I don't like the idea of highly flammable substances piped into my house, especially right now

    Not sure it works but mentally it helps and makes the house smell better.

    many of the laser-based pm sensor packages, such as novapm, treat high humidity as pm material. I don't know if steam works or not, but you'd need to steam the place up and then dehumidify for an accurate reading. Steam might also humidify the place which helps sinuses. idk
    Aaron Parecki
    It's the opposite, the sensor reads a room full of fried oil as a huge spike but isn't reacting to this steam at all

    quick gif showing how i made my latest thumbnail in keynote using a shot taken with the #pixel4a.

    keynote is so good for thumbnails. i keep a running document for them all so i can see how i'm flowing from one thumbnail to the next.

    vid: https://youtu.be/jvuaT_zlWFI
    Aaron Parecki
    okay I'm sold. gonna use keynote for my thumbnails from now on.

    I deleted my previous tweet because it turns out the email was legit. Thanks to @missdr_williams for clearing that up. However, I recommend never encrypting PR docs in an email, because then Gmail can't scan them for viruses and it looks suspect. Gotta stay frosty out there, fam.
    Aaron Parecki
    oof that is 100% a suspicious email though, and *exactly* the kind of thing that leads to account takeovers. Even better than sending a PR doc in an email would be to send a link to a website that requires a password. The browser is way safer than downloading anything.

    Male. Age 8; ate a Ritz biscuit in two bites. Made to stand in the corridor because I was being a “little pig.”
    Aaron Parecki
    I was unaware that there were more than two bites in a ritz

    Mouser has the Adafruit PMS5003 in stock right now.

    Aaron Parecki
    Nice! If you're willing to pay $40 for it! It's like $17 on aliexpress if you can wait 3 weeks. $30 on amazon for a little longer.

    Do you have photos of the ESP8266 + PMS5003 setup? I've been looking into putting an air quality sensor together myself.
    Aaron Parecki
    It’s more or less plug and play if you’re using esphome! Power, ground, TX/RX pins, not much to it!

    You have a sensor in your house?
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah! I got it last year but never actually hooked it up. Seemed like an appropriate time.

    Can you actually smell the smoke in your apartment at those levels? Or is it still “invisible”?
    Aaron Parecki
    Definitely a campfire smell, but at this point I could just be desensitized to it also. I have a feeling that it's pretty strong compared to clean air, I just don't have clean air to compare it to right now.

    Yeah same. Like, why bother if there is nothing we can do about it?
    Aaron Parecki
    It's reassuring to know that there's a real reason I've been unable to sleep well and having trouble concentrating.
