I’d like to second timr’s remarks on that study. I’ve read the whole thing twice, and I found it to be low quality and tendentious: they didn’t even fairly present the results they did have. It may be that the “surgical” masks they used, wh

Properly fitted N95s help a lot. Procedure masks, which are the type normally worn against COVID, do very little, especially since they are usually worn incorrectly. Other cloth masks do less than nothing, because they provide a false sense

Well, those solutions don't really work because of the contagiousness, so they are going out of favor. What is needed is effective prophylactics (beyond mRNA vaccines) and effective treatment. But the effort spent on that is, sadly, m

If you have a source of radiant heat close to you, be it a fire or an electric log, you can keep the room temperature lower. Best of both worlds. The problem with wood fires is they require a ducted external air source, or the chimney will

I'm interested in air/water heat pumps for slab heating[0]. In the summer they can be reversed to provide cooling, so long as you keep the slab zone above the dewpoint and provide additional wall-mounted exchangers in other zones
