That looks a lot like what was installed in the warehouse at a place where I worked for a while. They had two of them and the brand name on theirs was actually, “Big Ass Fan”, believe it or not. The logo was a picture of a donkey. Must have been invented by a Democrat. They really made it far more tolerable in that area on a hot day.
You forgot to give attribution to the fan company that makes this product..... http://www.bigassfans.com/product/ .....and yes, that is their name.
Theonion.com is getting sneaky posting under another url.
TELL ME ABOUT IT...
I suspect that "most" could be safely and honestly substituted for "some" in that sentence.
When I was in Korea 25 years ago, electric fans were a no-no. The majority of the population (okay, my sample was limited to bars and restaurants that served G.I.s, so it’s likely quite skewed) believed that an electric fan in an enclosed room would suck the air out of the room and cause them to suffocate in their sleep. They would always open a door or window if they ran a fan.
Electric fans kill more people every year than Shark-Nados. True fact. maybe it isn’t Sky Net becoming fully aware that we need to fear, maybe its fans!
It worked, couldn't have been made by a Democrat.
I worked with a mixed race crew, about half Caucasian and half “African American”. We only had one little room where you could get some relief from the heat or the cold. It was of little use to me because the blacks kept setting the thermostat on 80 or even higher summer or winter. Black people in South Carolina seem to consider 80 the ideal temperature, many have actually told me they like an 80 degree day much better than a beautiful, sunny 65 degree spring day. Go in their home in the winter and if you are anything like me you cannot take it, 80 degrees with everything shut up tight and no air movement. It is bad enough in the summer but 80 inside in the winter feels to me like 100 does outside in the summer, sometimes even worse. I can’t breathe in a place like that. I am quite comfortable right now, the air conditioner is on and the temp inside is 77 with a humidity reading of 39. As long as I am not doing anything other than typing on a keyboard that is just fine but if you’re talking about inside temps 72 is way too cold for me in my home in the summer but plenty warm, maybe too warm in the winter.
Based on my experience there 25+ years ago, you'd be wrong.
The only solution is to ban fans or at minimum get a government certified to operate one safely...
If we can save even one life, it will be worth it...!
dr. who had a killer christmas tree....every bit as believable
Ditto’s
Pickles are just as bad, sixty years ago when I was in the sixth grade I knew a lot of people in their fifties and sixties who ate pickles every day. Would you believe that every single one of them is dead now?
There are also several websites that generate white noise and allow the user to set the tone(base/treble) of the white noise.
Everything is fatal. I read somewhere that 100% of people who breathe oxygen are going to die. Horrible.
We once had to spend several days in India with an American lady who insisted she was allergic to: moving air, chilled water, ice, non certified organic vegetables, most all spices, and the list went on. And as a native New Yorker she was an insufferable b!+@% if anybody made the mistake of serving her a prohibited item or mistakenly placed her near a fan or air conditioning. Watching her react to India was memorable and we could never figure out why she came. Some people should not be allowed to have a passport.
I bet some plaintiff attorneys are already preparing late-night TV ads to try and find potential litigants: “Do you know someone who died in a room with an operating electric fan? If so, you could be entitled to compensation....”
