  1. Here is why you should open your #windows whenever you can. On the left, is 2:05 PM when I’ve had the windows closed all day, the #CO2 levels in the house are high, indicating poor #ventilation. Now swipe to the right image, the levels have dropped to a third after leaving the windows open for over 2 hours, indicating excellent ventilation. High CO2 levels indoors can cause various #health issues including #tiredness, #headaches, #eye #irritation, #dizziness and/or #difficulty #concentrating, so please check your levels inside your house. I borrowed this CO2 monitor as well as an #AQI monitor from my local #library

  5. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
     
    [Ὄγδοον, ὅσῳ χαλεπώτερα ἐπιφέρουσιν αἱ ὀργαὶ καὶ λῦπαι αἱ ἐπὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις, ἤπερ αὐτά ἐστιν ἐφ’ οἷς ὀργιζόμεθα καὶ λυπούμεθα.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

  10. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, “Pope” (1781)

  15. A quotation from Ambrose of Milan

       To avoid dissensions we should ever be on our guard, more especially with those who drive us to argue with them, with those who vex and irritate us, and who say things likely to excite us to anger. When we find ourselves in company with quarrelsome, eccentric individuals, people who openly and unblushingly say the most shocking things, difficult to put up with, we should take refuge in silence, and the wisest plan is not to reply to people whose behavior is so preposterous.
       Those who insult us and treat us contumeliously are anxious for a spiteful and sarcastic reply: the silence we then affect disheartens them, and they cannot avoid showing their vexation; they do all they can to provoke us and to elicit a reply, but the best way to baffle them is to say nothing, refuse to argue with them, and to leave them to chew the cud of their hasty anger. This method of bringing down their pride disarms them, and shows them plainly that we slight and despise them.
     
       [Sed etiam ille cavendus; est, qui videri potest, quicumque inritat, quicumque incitat, quicumque exasperat, quicumque incentiva luxuriae aut libidinis suggerit. Quando ergo aliquis nobis convitiatur, lacessit, ad violentiam provocat, ad iurgium vocat: tunc silentium exerceamus, tunc muti fieri non erubescamus. Peccator est enim qui nos provocat, qui iniuriam facit et nos similes sui fieri desiderat.
       Denique si taceas, si dissimules, solet dicere: Quid taces? Loquere, si audes; sed non audes, mutus es, elinguem te feci. Si ergo taceas, plus rumpitur; victum sese putat, inrisum, posthabitum atque inlusum.]

    Ambrose of Milan (339-397) Roman theologian, statesman, Christian prelate, saint, Doctor of the Church [Aurelius Ambrosius]
    De Officiis Ministrorum [On the Duties of the Clergy], Book 1, ch. 5, sec. 17-18 (AD 386)

  16. A quotation from Joubert

    It is always our inabilities that irritate us.
     
    [Ce sont toujours nos impuissances qui nous irritent.]

    Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) French moralist, philosopher, essayist, poet
    Pensées [Thoughts], ch. 5 “Des Passions et des Affections de l’Âme [On the Soul], ¶ 29 (1850 ed.) [tr. Calvert (1866)]

  17. Jag blir så trött på att felsöka element. Vattenburen värme är jättebra, när det fungerar. Inte lika bra när man inte vet varför det inte blir varmt. Luftade element. Kollade termostater. Framledningstemperaturen på max (jajaja jag vet ... men för att kolla om det alls blir ljummet i de kalla elementen), har kollat så det är nog med vatten i elementen och rätt tryck ... Får nog bita i det sura äpplet och ringa en firma som kan sånt här. #vvs #värme #irritation

  18. It has been one of those days. Everything that has happened today has rubbed me the wrong way. Well… maybe not everything, but most things. Why? Is it because the Bruins were shut out last night? It could be. Is it because the fucking Yankees are in the World Series? It might be.

    Here’s hoping the drive home will be a turning point. Granted I will have to stop for gas before I get home, but I am finally going to finish my JRR Tolkien deep dive/audio book re-read. Well… I listened to the Silmarilian (boy, was that rough) and about 15 minutes into tonight’s commute I will complete The Lord of the rings (much better, except for all the singing… ouch). Up next in my Audible queue is Stephen King’s new short story collection. That should be a nice palette cleanser after all the Middle Earth fantasy. I guess I should read The Hobbit too, for completeness, and anything else that Tolkien may have published that I have never read. Naw, let’s get into some King for a while.

    Once I get home the plan is to make a quick dinner for me and the love of my life. Burgers (fried on the stove) and fries (fried in the air fryer). Then we’ll sit down in the living room and enjoy a quiet night together making fun of our clinically insane cats. As per usual.

    Here’s hoping for a fun, quiet night tonight and a less stressful work day tomorrow.

  20. Die #Erwartung darauf, dass die eigene #Erfahrung #kongruent mit der aller anderen ist, kann durch #Alltagsbeobachtung​en bestätigt werden oder #irritationslos bleiben.

    Ich bin nicht sicher, ob die #Konfrontation mit einer #vermeintlich​en #unreflektiert​en #Selbstverständlichkeit noch #Auslöser für #Irritation sein kann. Die #Ausweitung von #Kommunikationstechnik spricht für #Immunisierung durch #Ambiguitätstoleranz.

  21. Heute habe ich ein weiteres #Tabu überwunden: Ich habe ganz pragmatisch und ohne erotische Gedanken einer Privatperson #gebraucht|e Unterwäsche abgekauft. Natürlich in einem sauberen #Zustand.

    Warum? Weil ich lieber so ein #Angebot #nachfrage, als das der #Industrie.

    Meine kleine individuelle #Handlung kann zwar keine strukturellen #Probleme lösen, aber #Irritation hervorrufen. Außerhalb des Internets hat es schon komische Blicke und Fragen ausgelöst, als ich gebrauchte Schuhe gekauft habe.

  22. Was mich irritiert ist der Umstand, dass bei jeder erdenklichen Maßnahme die #nicht #intendiert​en #Nebenfolge​n nicht überblickt werden können.

    Das ist kein größeres Problem, solange es hauptsächlich um #Bestandsverwaltung im #Sinn von #Bestandsvermehrung und #Bestandswahrung geht. Wenn aber #Politik sozial durchgesetzt wird, die unter der #Prämisse steht qua Handlung Politik vollziehen zu können, wird es chaotisch.

  24. Seit ich ein ergonomisches Split Keyboard habe, habe ich gelernt, dass ich mir "fälschlicherweise" über 20 Jahre hinweg antrainiert habe, das "b" mit dem rechten Zeigefinger zu tippen. Auf keiner anderen Tastatur wäre mir das jemals aufgefallen.
