Room air filtration on existing stand fans
I keep my room air filtered with my existing stand fan and filter attached to the grill.
The home of Ausborne Keeps is still being built, slowly, and on purpose.

Keeps
Things worth keeping.
What actually earned its place, what the evidence does and doesn't say, and the practices that survived years rather than weeks. Offered to inspire, not to instruct.

Coffee drinkers vs non-coffee drinkers
Being a non-coffee drinker has its unique advantages.
PracticesPlanned
More glass, less plastics
Glass is more hygienic and it’s easy to observe them when you wash them after using oil on them.
ResearchPlanned
1000mg of Vitamin C post-workout
Recent research shows Vitamin C supports recovery when taken immediately after a workout, or before one.

Loud and clear BT Edifier speakers
Handy wireless speakers for when you need an alarm, a clock, and fun.
PracticesPlanned
I don’t drink soda or carbonated drinks
I demonize carbonated drinks as they offer little to no health benefit, in addition to sitting on the harmful spectrum for your gut.
ResearchPlanned
Sleep studies are mostly about young men
Who gets studied shapes what gets recommended. A note on generalizing from narrow samples.
ProductsPlanned
Flask without a protruding spout or straw
Under a thousand pesos, bought on a whim, still in daily use.
PracticesPlanned
I don’t drink coffee
Just the basic idea that coffee tricks your brain into feeling more energy is enough to put me off.
Nothing here yet under that heading.
How something ends up here.
01
It survived long enough to judge
Nothing is written up on first impressions. Months of use at minimum, and ideally a stretch where it could have been abandoned and wasn't.
02
The claim and the evidence are separated
What the research supports, where it thins out, and what is only my own preference are marked as three different things — because they are.
03
Nothing is here because it paid to be
Some links earn a commission. None of them decide what appears here, and wherever a connection exists it is stated in the post, beside the link.
