Yeah I am 99% certain that it was a faulty unit based on observations. Landlady had an alarm under her arm. The fire department came by and did CO checks, seemed satisfied with what they read, I just wanna go back to sleep

anyone know how to adjust the automatic fan speed control on a computer? our laptop gets way hotter than we'd like sometimes and we're willing to sacrifice some quietness for coolness

Good morning, or I hope a better morning than mine at least

Fire alarms are going wild and because they're all linked we have no idea why or which one

We also don't know if they're CO detectors or not so we all opened our windows just in case

I can't get the cats out from under the bed so I'm kind of glad it's (probably) not a fire?

I wanna curl up in bed with my loved ones and snuggle

Yesterday some comrades were suggesting that people donate to the Mashpee Wampanoag. Earlier this year they dealt with an attempt by the federal government to revoke government recognition of their tribe & the land rights that entailed. They also run a community food bank. The US government recognizes today as Native American Heritage Day (controversially, as it coincides with what has unofficially been the major commercial free-for-all called Black Friday for decades now), so today seems like a good day to share their donations page
