Ok, this could be a fun thing to start doing with oil filters that aren’t changed often enough. Write the headline of the day, or maybe the top-charting song...

Interesting story behind this one. Guy posted a pic that accidentally gave away his location. So somebody did some quick sleuthing and... sent him a pizza! Hey, sometimes internet strangers aren’t so bad after all.

To be fair, I feel like any fan not powerful enough to eliminate all that caked on dust to be at least sort of defective. A real fan is its own compressed air.

Hm. Eliminate, in what way?

I guess you could reverse the polarity to run the fan backwards, but I don’t think that works very well on squirrel-cage fans.
