This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I recently stayed in an apartment that didnt have central air so I created a corsi-rosenthal box since the smoke from the Canadian wildfires were so bad.

After 30 days of continuous use, with very minimal periods of it being turned off, this is what the filters look like!

It's disgusting yet also so satisfying to see the filters get darker from debris, dust, and dirt.

Edit: typos

Think it was a covid thing.

No word on ed being the rosenthal in question.

Someone posted a link to Wikipedia in the comments, came across their names:

Richard Corsi, an environmental engineer and the incoming Dean of Engineering at the University of California, Davis

Jim Rosenthal, the CEO of filter manufacturer Tex-Air Filters
