Lost the things some years back, apparently long enough back that I’m not allowed to use my old rx.

So, got a new rx, new exam, picked out new frames, should be here by Christmas.

      … Do we have any preferred handkerchief brands?

      Fabrics?

      Prints?

      Or uh maybe, we have uh, a favorite level of sandpaper grit?

      Just, in general?

      … perhaps we could argue about duct tape brands?

        I prefer to start with a 200 grit then 400 and finish up with a 800 or even higher depending on the finish.

        I’ve never actually owned a handkerchief, but if I did it would be neutral grey. Probably cotton. No pattern, I’m not a gangbanger.

        Whew… That feels better. Thank you for being sensible and de-escalating this.

            By the way, duck brand duct tape is pretty good stuff. Much better than that off brand crap. I’ve also had good results with Ace hardware brand duct tapes, but honestly if the budget permits, gorilla glue brand all the way.

              … I now wholeheartedly agree.

              Yep, in that order, under those conditions, I actually have the exact same opinion(s).

                Fantastic. What are your opinions on ac sir filter replacements?

                Brands?

                Rate of change?

                I have a 4" filter for mine and it’s an awkward size so I usually have to order online but I have gotten by with a normal 1 inch thick combined with those cut your own green types.

                  Ahhahah!

                  Good sir, you appear have confused me with a homeowner, or perhaps HVAC technician.

                  Best I’ve managed is getting a HEPA filter of… I don’t remember the grade or dimensions…

                  … and duct taping it to a ‘mobile’ AC unit, so.as to attempt to avoid dying from the PNW Heatdome and also WildfireSmokeDome, from a few years back.

                  (We don’t usually have AC units in apartments around there… because… up untill literally that Heatdome… you didn’t really need them.)

                  … I do remember using Duck brand duct tape for this though.

                  I’m not currently dead, so, it probably wasn’t the worst choice, lol.

                    Nice. I live in northern California so we have ac units usually but not used all the time. I would recommend the HEPA filter for sure, helps with the wildfire smoke. However, with that heat and such you might want to use the adhesive foil tape. It withstands temperature swings and doesn’t break down.

                    Central heat and air units have filters that need replacing every month or few depending on usage. If you ever do need one be sure to get a quality filter. It makes a difference for sure. Especially in areas like ours with lots of smoke and stuff.

                    Take care!
