I haven't started a new playthrough of Dragon Age Origins, I just dug up an illustrative image.


'D80' is a Samsung dryer error code for exhaust issues (lint, blockage, whatever). I kinda knew this one was coming since my dryer is in the middle of the house, requiring a pretty long vent pipe. So I context switched briefly from backyard projects to install a booster fan.

I was happy to see that dryer booster fans are pressure-activated, rather than actuated by a hard wire to the dryer or something. That said, from a longevity perspective the latter might be better.


The dryer-adjacent bathroom was previously just venting into the (fairly large) basement area next to both. I connected the bathroom vent to the run of ducting already in place for the dryer using a wye junction. I affixed a backdraft damper (one-way door) to prevent the dryer from blowing into the bathroom. I'm not sure that's actually a concern with the booster creating a path of much less resistance to the outside of the house, but whatever.


I used joist hangers to install a piece of 2x6 under the subfloor. The fan bracket attached to that (rather than subfloor or joist). The ducting attached in the usual fashion.

No more D80 error and clothes dry faster.

Chris	We need a project name that is a semi-domesticated cat, ideally one that is kind of ferocious. I wanted to use 'Ocelot' but it was taken.
		Maybe an Egyptian cat like Abyssinian or a Mau?		Jes
	Hmmm...
		What about a Devon Rex or pixie bob?
		So cute.
	Maybe it's the photography but those don't strike me as fierce.
		Raaaaawr.
Chris	;) ;) ;)

	"Welcome aboard, you guys will be on project Pixiebob."
	(How to get your interns to fuck off to Microsoft.)
	10/10 memeing I did not know my wife was capable of.
	Jon has decided to go with Lykoi.

Spy has been drilling; upwards of 6% in the past five trading days. Tesla and Netflix have each shorn a couple hundred bucks off their respective share prices.

Chris	Coward exercised my Netflix put.
		My stonks keep getting hammered.		Zac
		I miss when this used to be fun.
		Agreed. This should just bottom out already so it can start going up again.		Kevin
	Yes.
	My inverses are looking mighty fine.
	The rest of my port is mega-guh.
	Fuck it. Commodities and energy. All aboard.
		Disney is still very much on sale.
		Everything is on sale.		Sants
		At this rate, my body will be on sale soon.
		Your body has been for sale for a long time. Just very few interested buyers.		Zac
		Well, everyone wants a rhino, but they just don't fit in a lot of hallways.		Sants
Chris	I wish I could trade as well as you guys can banter.

Elon and Netflix

		Maybe [Elon] will buy Walmart just to fuck with Bezos.		Zac
		Waltons are practically old money compared to Musk. They've been billionaires forever. He's gonna have to show up in a Count-of-Monte-Cristo carriage full of pirate gold.		Sants
		Seems like something Musk would do.		Zac
		The TRUTH comes out:
		I knew the financial collapse had to do with wokeness.
		I'm not even sure what that means.		Kevin
		Netflix did jump on the failing company documentary. "White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch". That about sums it up.
		I want to see From Thriller to Horror: The Rise & Fall of Netflix As It's Happening.		Sants
Me	Like the Formula 1 thing.
		I would pay so much to watch a realty show of the inner workings at TRUTH Social.		Zac

... and then...

Chris	He did it.
		When you typed that I thought, "Musk bought Twitter?" And I was right.		Sants
		So, how can we make money on this, Chris?
		Find out how to buy Twitter stock last week.		Kevin
		Already priced in from when he announced it.		Sants
		Maybe I should still buy.
		You know he's gonna make it make money.
	Bought some yang in case Beijing locks down.
	Twitter is halted.
		Dang.
		I just put my buy in.
		My entire portfolio is now doge and twtr.
		Greatest investor ever.
		I'm already up .27%.
		Jealous?
Chris	.27% daily gains ain't too shabby.
	Ffs how did we let a paypal guy become the richest man in the world? They're a glorified escrow company.
		He red paperclipped his way to the top.		Sants
		Doesn't the PayPal Mafia run the world?		Zac
		Even TRUTH Social is essentially being floated by Peter Theil who pulled the strings at Facebook.
		From Wikipedia: The "PayPal Mafia" is a group of former PayPal employees and founders who have since founded and developed additional technology companies such as Tesla, Inc., LinkedIn, Palantir Technologies, SpaceX, Affirm, Slide, Kiva, YouTube, Yelp, and Yammer.
		And now that Musk is a Twitter founder, you can add that to the list.
