Observations on politics and fans and author and albinos

[mindstalk]

I've noticed almost no one I know here seems to spontaneously discuss politics. I grew up a news junkie; that faded in college, but we'd still talk about stuff, like libertarianism with John, and presumably something about current politics. Primary discussion here? Almost none. Not that I bring it up either, but I feel that's because of the atmosphere. Strange.

I tried de-dusting a window fan I've had for six years. I figured a simple electric motor could have dust washed out of it. I was wrong, it broke. And I wasn't able to break open the motor to see what it looked like afterwards. I got a replacement yesterday, fancy $20 one with circular grill rather than $12 replacement with the same rectangular grill. I think it does indeed have more airflow, which is actually a drawback since I use the thing more as a white noise generator, not for airpower.
