@AaronLeeJohnson You can make your own misting fan with this LANDGARDEN Outdoor Misting Fan Kit for a Cool Patio Breeze,Water Mister Spray for Cooling Outdoor,19.36FT (5.9M) Misting Line + 5 Brass Mist Nozzles + a Brass Adapter(3/4) Fit to Any Outdoor Fan - $17.99 on Amazon.
@AaronLeeJohnson@pakopako@Trinityscrew kinda, but if you have to ask it’s probably not for you. These evaporative coolers only function in areas with low humidity otherwise they just make the problem worse (you’ll get damp, uncomfortable, your floor will be slippery).
@phendrick As usual with songs here, I started it playing and continued scrolling to read everything else.
Very quickly I thought, “Hey, isn’t that a song Ray Stevens did?”
Then almost immediately he sang
… holding your hannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.
(that’s 4 seconds of “N”)
Definitely not the way my choir directors taught me to sing…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(And yes, it turns out I heard this first by Ray Stevens, though it sounds quite different. Apparently it’s a “country” version? Either way, his version is notable enough to get a mention on Wikipedia and to get a Grammy. What ended up surprising me most of all was when I got far enough into the rabbit hole to discover that Ray Stevens released 50 albums!)
@xobzoo For me, Ray Stevens is mostly “A-hab the A-rab”.
When i was a college undergraduate (junior year?) Johnny Mathis did a concert at our university. Did a great job on several songs, when ~SNAP~ , the power went off (squirrel in a transformer, or some such). Totally dark in the auditorium and everyone got quiet. Cigarette lighters flashed on. After a few minutes, Mathis started singing again, no mic or other amplification. (Don’t recall whether he had musical backup then.) His soft but strong voice carried through the auditorium (actually our college basketball gym at the time, seating for maybe 4-5 thousand, with the floor). He sang several more of his hits that way, before stopping to say his manager told him not to sing any more, to preserve his voice. Shortened concert, but he got a standing ovation, one of the best concerts of my life. Dude could carry a tune!
Edt: Seatng was 8700. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._Rollie_White_Coliseum
@OnionSoup That looks like a kwikset door key, not a vehicle key of any kind that I’m familiar with. It’s definitely not a key to a gopower bike battery.
Oh… And buying for my Mum, she still has the cheapo Powerbank fan from many years ago on meh that she carries everywhere in her purse. Time for an upgrade.
@jmbunkin Eyeballing the pictures it looks like it’s almost certainly an 18650 cell or two inside of a glued together plastic case. So anything is possible, but no.
@jmbunkin If you have the tools and equipment, any battery is replaceable, with the possible exception of those in the emplacements protecting the mouth of the Thames against btigands, privateers and invading Navy forces.
Well, if you live near the water, you’ll understand a large part of why you’re feel the heat is the humidity in the air. The last thing you need is more of it. In high humidity environments, that water is not going to evaporate, which is what is supposed to cool you off!
@MrJazz anyone who has lived in South Florida is keenly aware of the futility of attempting to use such a device there. Even here in the arid climate of Houston (arid by comparison to Miami), they perform poorly. Particularly downtown at a certain sports venue.
@MrJazz@werehatrack Interesting. My wife was using an old cheaper version of this to great effect at a Dolphins game years ago and was offered $100.00 for it by fans sitting nearby.
@Kyeh@MrJazz Between the lack of moisture and the constant wind here in CO, I could walk around with a portable shower spraying on me and still be dry. Ugh. Tough adjustment for someone who lived in the Pacific Northwest for 50+ years.
I pulled the trigger on the 2 fans, but more importantly, when can I expect my paraglider to arrive? I saw the qualification on the keys not being included, but there was no such caveat on the glider.
I won’t make the same mistake as the kid and the Pepsi Harrier Jump Jet, so if you are not willing to provide the glider, I will accept the $1M settlement offer. My attorney will be in contact.

As a big fan of the Rangers, I hate I mist their win last year.
I love misting fans. I wish there were large fans that had a misting function.
@AaronLeeJohnson They do have those gigantic rolling swamp coolers (evaporative coolers) but those tend to sell for quite the pretty penny.
@AaronLeeJohnson Both Lowes and Home Depot carry them.

@AaronLeeJohnson @Trinityscrew that’s actually inventive… But doesn’t that turn your fan into a hose?

@xobzoo Can’t type at this time of day. 7,800 not 8,700.
INB4 someone says “Ewww, Micro USB, pass.”
Misting fans just before summer? Last week it was lightweight comforters - in the spring! WTH is happening here?
@ergomeh And pool floats on SD. Pool floats, not snow tubes, pool floats!
@ergomeh I have never seen a pool that would float on one of those things.
The key that isn’t for sale, what kind of key is that? Doesn’t look like a house or a car key. Is that the key to the magical IRK warehouse?
And I know you say it’s not included, but can I have it anyway? Meh saying I can’t have it makes me want it.
@OnionSoup Well, if you get a hold of the key, you can search their parking lot for the Harley the fob belongs to.
@Gypped it’s a Harley? I definitely want the key.
@Gypped @OnionSoup Unless you’re Mister J or Poison Ivy, I don’t think your want this Harley.
@Gypped @mcanavino @OnionSoup “Mister” J? Sounds like a great match for the fans!
@OnionSoup That looks like a kwikset door key, not a vehicle key of any kind that I’m familiar with. It’s definitely not a key to a gopower bike battery.

Is the battery replacable?

@jmbunkin If you have the tools and equipment, any battery is replaceable, with the possible exception of those in the emplacements protecting the mouth of the Thames against btigands, privateers and invading Navy forces.
I am a fan of fans.

@robpete That is a great movie!
Go Rangers, Huzzah!

@MrJazz On the other hand, here in arid CO, I cool my whole house with humidity (rooftop swamp cooler.)
@Kyeh As did I when I lived in Tucson!
@MrJazz @werehatrack Interesting. My wife was using an old cheaper version of this to great effect at a Dolphins game years ago and was offered $100.00 for it by fans sitting nearby.
@MrJazz Oh, okay! I’m going to have to start it up soon here.
@Kyeh @MrJazz Between the lack of moisture and the constant wind here in CO, I could walk around with a portable shower spraying on me and still be dry. Ugh. Tough adjustment for someone who lived in the Pacific Northwest for 50+ years.
@Kyeh @MrJazz @Pony It is often called the Pacific NorthWet for good reason
Looks like it could be cool, but
No usb-c, no buy
MLB stands for Major League Baseball. The sentence
actually means
which is clearly incoherent. Save your "the"s and let’s not normalize this usage.
@dpease I fear this battle was lost at least six decades ago.
@dpease @werehatrack it’s more like MBL now “the Major baseball league”

Dead on arrival, does not turn on even after allowing to charge completely. Both are defective. Can you issue a refund?
