I just take it appart... clean the electrical contacts and oil the motor spindel with 3 and 1 oil. I have yet to figure out which capacitors that will work with these box fans when they overload and die. If you catch it before they poop out you can keep em going forever. Like a marine cleans their rifle I clean my fans. I can do it in like 10 minutes. Zip zip blam fan

    If you format the link with an exclamation point community @ instance it creates an instance agnostic link.

    Like this: !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

    EDIT: NGL I dig that community and have been lurking for awhile there.

    Do you know how to do a comment then? I know the devs know how to make it so it will do this automatically, not sure why this hasn't been done or maybe there's clients that do this?

    Doing a comment is a little strange due to how instances log those.

    Here's a link to a tool for it.

    And a test link to the comment I initially replied to using the tool

    Very interesting, thanks. It still won't let me vote on your test link, but I might have did the crosslink wrong.

    When you open the crosslink you've got to enter your instance so that it sources the comment on your instance. Good news is that you can change the instance if you set the wrong one pretty easily.

    Oh! I recently pulled apart my dusty, cat-hair-sprouting desk fan and hosed it down in the shower. I could have posted it there.

    The thing is about five years old, it replaced one that was MUCH older. I didn't expect it to last this long. I hate the switch on it though. It's a rotating wheel switch that is too stiff. It's not big enough to get a hold of so I need two hands to turn it on and off.
