Anyway we've gotten maybe 3 inches of rain in the last 48 hours and the sump pump JUST kicked on for the first time, the ground here was absolutely desiccated by the three weeks of zero precipitation in May. Just swinging from one extreme to the other, forever. Yay

my fire chief describes it here as “going from fire season to filling sandbags”

One of the provinces that is the most on fire doesn't believe in paying fire fighters so they had to beg for aid from the third world
Canada does suck for a lot of reasons but trying to put out fires in the massive Canadian boreal forests feels like pissing in the wind. Is this wrong? It's millions of square kilometers and if it's vulnerable to burn it's going to burn. This presumption that there's anything people can do to meaningfully limit fires in such a massive tinderbox seems unrealistic.

Not trying to jump on you, I just see this presumption go unchallenged in the media a lot.

NE Ohio's AQI has gone from 198 at 6AM to 306 282 currently, and everything is visibly smoky at ground level.

Not great. Hoping someone cancels my kid's little league game, but I live in The Deep Red so I'm guessing the prevailing thought will be more "only pussies don't inhale smoke for several hours."

If you need something quick and cheap, just make a corsi cube out of a box fan and 4 furnance filter(rated MERV 13 would work the best)

If you don't like DIY stuff or have some hangup on the look, get a Coway or a Levoit, they do the best while being cheaper than in comparison to the other purifier out there

Don't be surprised when you turn it on, it get all angry and red light start lighting up and the fan really rips. That's just the air sensor at work, after it runs for a bit it'll calm down

I have this one. It's really good. Good choice, consumer. It even links with the cloud so Google (or Amazon, or Apple, or) can learn that you need and how to sell you more air quality abatement products.

Don't forget to remove the plastic cover from the filter.

i have a shark air purifier that works really well, even in larger rooms than it is rated for. during this i just move it with me from room to room to at least have decent air where i am.

so happy the market has blessed me with such a fine product

they all help but its still best practice smoke outside or just blow the smoke out a window if possible. doing a bunch of bong rips is going to tax the filter over time and they are not cheap. for the occasional joint or hitting a bowl a few times most of the quality ones will keep the place smelling good
