@stfn we have a peltier fan, it has certainly improved the heat distribution in the room with the log burner. No scientific evidence, but we enjoy what it does for us.

Sanctioning the #InternationalCriminalCourt #ICC is so much more than just "regrettable". It marks the end of the 1945 settlement, and of the so called #RulesBasedInternationalOrder. To describe this as "regrettable" is mealy-mouthed and grossly inadequate.

Please, if you use something I made, be it music or sound, please just credit somewhere. It was free to begin with, attribution costs nothing but a few words. That's all I ask. Me, and many other creators.
