I remember reading an article about 10 years ago how do it right. I don't know if it is still up to date. But they suggested: Man, Woman, Other, "Do not want to specify". There might be some exceptions, like an airline won&#x

I use an Airthings device to measure the air quality in my bedroom. I'm noticeably more groggy in the morning if there is more than recommended CO2 in the room. I don't care that much about the other things it measures. Another ni
