@Njord One neat side-effect I'm learning testing it out today is that it seems to make my air conditioner more efficient.
I have a floor unit in my bedroom, and I put the swamp cooler in my kitchen, and the increased humidity turned my bedroom arctic.
Downside is that on a more humid day like today it just makes the rest of the apartment feel dank.
You definitely have to use them under the right conditions. I was skeptical at first if they would be worth anything in Seattle, but it really looks like a game of turning it on at the right time.
If it's humid or already cool, just use it as a fan. But really anything above 80F and below 60% humidity should have some effect
It should be 85F and 35% tomorrow, so that'll be its first real test. If it even knocks 5F off of my living room, that would be a welcome change.
The Netflix Depp v. Heard documentary is hilarious at face value. Faced with the writer strike, they just threw together a clip show based on a trial that everyone stopped caring about a season ago.
I watched the first episode just to see how bad it was. Not a single line of original dialog. Just a bunch of trial footage, news clips, and youtube highlights glued together.
Honestly, this does so much brand damage to them as documentary makers it can't be worth it.
Here's my first pass at a logo for Calculated Geometry, Inc., a fictional computer animation studio founded in 1983 by Edgar Suarez and Gwendolyn Harvey, . Also known as CGI (or sometimes CalGeo), they lacked early investors, and cobbled together what they could with secondhand equipment bought from universities and other animation studios.

Apparently in many parts of the UK, homes that face each other at the rear are required to be built 21 metres apart, and you'll never guess the reason why this rule exists.
Oh, and you can see it at the West Sound Film Festival on August 4: https://filmfreeway.com/WestSoundFilmFestival/tickets

If you live in or near #Seattle, I am highly recommending that you go and see the movie "Fantasy A Gets A Mattress".
It is a charming indie film about Fantasy A, Seattle's undisputed king of hustle, getting a mattress.
A wonderfully absurdist depiction of Seattle that you are absolutely missing out on right now. Better cinematography that I was anticipating, and a hilarious performance from their local actors from beginning to end.
Tickets are still available here: https://thebeacon.film/calendar/movie/fantasy-a-gets-a-mattress
Yeah, I know, context is everything, and there's virtually zero chance that anyone thinks we just dropped a literal H-bomb capable of reducing Europe to dust.
But c'mon now...
