I have the Supreme 16 been running just about 24/7 for about 2.5 years now I love it. I have heard a few stories of the hurricanes almost catching fire but I take mine apart to clean and lube annually and haven't seen any major wear indicators. They push a lot of air

For 30 bucks I don't expect much. But my current vivosun clippy fans all stopped oscillating.
Sounds like that product really blows :)

I have a couple of those. Oscillating stopped after couple yrs. Otherwise worked great. They move some air.

Never heard that, but could see it happening with no maintenance.
The lubricating of the internal mover parts is a good pointer. 👍

I run two of those stationary, the oscillating will start squeaking pretty quick, going by the three so far.
They replaced one, but I’m not going to hit them up again.
Fan part is great.
The way they mount should be fairly simple?
Going to mount on a block of wood, then try to attach that to the tent pole. I have it visualized in my head. But we'll see how that goes 😆

3d printer would be so handy.

I had a fight tonight with a family member and it turned physical... They did something in my mind that I can never forgive and they can never take back. How can I forgive this person? Remember they're family and I have to see them every day. They're sorry and feel bad but that doesn't take back what they did. They could of killed me - yes, it got that physical and I don't want to go into detail. How should I handle this? How can I forgive for such a transgression? What was done to me I'd never in a million years do the same to them, I'm in just utter shock. Sorry guys this is some heavy shit i'm unpacking on you all..
I just need to vent, there's no one else I can talk to about this. If I forgive I feel like a door mat that will get stepped on over and over again. I feel if I forgive them easily they'll eventually do it again.

I'm an antisocial hermit, so take that into account, but I cut ties with everyone who made my life worse with their presence and I've never been happier. For example, I haven't had any contact with my living parent for years and so much stress has departed.


First priority has to be your own health and safety(obligations like children are incredibly important, but you need to be mentally healthy to do right by them long term). If your situation doesn't let you feel safe, or you can't trust someone who is a big part of your life, you need make some hard decisions.

There's no easy answer, just gotta do some hard-core honest self-evaluation, and evaluation of those around you, and come up with short and long term strategies to both survive and improve your situation.
Be strong, and best of luck to you.

Feel for ya mang. 👊👊👊
How can I forgive this person?
Give it time, the answer will come or it won't. Took me 4 and a half yrs for my answer to arrive.

For sure what Am said, he's a wise mofo. Gotta do what's best for you mang. Whatever choice you make it doesn't have to be permanent.
I've had to cut ties with toxic family members before.
My sister for example.
Didn't talk to her since 2019, that changed recently.
Took my mom dying just before x mas this yr for me to talk to her again. She apologized, seems maybe she's changed. We're talking again sorta, I'm still aprehensive, but it's a step.

I think the best course of action is to keep my distance and not speak to this person... I'm still very angry and not only mentally hurt but I'm physically hurt too. Part of me wants to take revenge, but in the end I'm not sure it would make me feel any better. Like I said what they did to me can't be taken back. The word "Sorry" literally means nothing to me after what transpired. When we were fighting (more like being attacked) I didn't see family, I seen a monster who could of killed me. They showed their true colors. There's no going back from this, no matter the "I'm Sorries" - silence will speak for me from here on out until I reach that point of forgiveness (if I ever reach that point).. Oh man, if you guys only knew! 🤦‍♂️

it is your decision. Yours only.

I cut ties with very close family about 12 years ago. I feel so so much better. I let them go with love. I told them I love you now, and I love you forever, do not ever speak to me again.

You will have to deal with the occasional doubts and guilt that may pop up in your mind when you are having a bad day 5 years in the future. Just remind yourself of the pain that was caused.

They may try to reach out and smooth over things. That’s on you. But I feel so healthy, free and confident now that they do not have power in my life.

All humans are related. All humans are family. Choose the people you have around you.

I know bro already said it, but Forgive. Forgive, move on, and don't look back. Now, if you don't speak to them, at all, and end up watching yourself around them, they may see that at some point. I have family that are blood related I don't talk to at all. And we used to be really close.

Of course I've totally overlooked my cousin shooting me in the side with a pellet gun, and I had to cut that out with a big knife, but, I also shot him point blank in the ass with the same one. It was hilarious. We literally used to hold "The Bastard Olympics" at one point, where the idea was to fuck with each other as much as possible. Faking a police chase with a his buddy, me prank calling one of his friends and pretending to be a video store manager saying his son was caught stealing gay porn, and a LOT more. I don't do that stuff these days. I'd rather not be like that. A cousin of mine that used to be REALLY close with me, hasn't seen or spoken to me, in like.... 10 years or so.

He was engaged to this girl, and she was awesome. Like total Wife material. Super nice, dealt with my sense of humor, and his, and would go out of her way to help. He ended up cheating on her, and when he told her he was breaking up with her, as she was in tears walking out with her stuff, he literally stopped her, and made her give him back the all the rings and jewelry he had ever bought her. I couldn't even deal with him. I wanted to beat his ass. It was beyond cold blooded, and she deserved better. I'm still friends with her and her sister, though we don't talk much, but I haven't seen or spoken to him in like a decade. He doesn't try, and neither do I. I'm not mad anymore, but I won't just reach out either.

I did have a cousin swing a baseball bat at me once when we were younger. I remember being so pissed he tried that when he was swinging it at me, I punched the bat out of his hands so hard he literally cried from the vibration. I think it was a metal bat so, that would likely be why it hurt him more than me.

Blood relatives can cause a lot of damage, because we all act like they can't. At the end of the day; We have family that aren't actually related, and sometimes enemies that are, and how we act, can change that. The cousin I shot in the ass doesn't care, anymore than I do about him taking that first shot. We still see each other now and then, and we're fine. You have to be sure they were actually trying to cause you massive harm though; because there's every chance something else was going on, and either way, once you move passed that, or through it, depending on where you take it, either way, it's up to you. Once you forgive them though, and some time passes, you'll feel a lot better than if you spend that time trying to get back at them. That won't ever work, or bring you peace.

I had a good friend I’d known since junior high betray and I use the word betray with full justification in my mind about 16 years ago . I haven’t spoken to him since . He died in my eyes that day and he knows it . Family dispute is probably the worse situation as you’ve described . The fact your family and they did this to you says to me a sheer lack of respect and reckless abandonment of your welfare . I wouldn’t forgive easily if ever either and revenge only drops you to the same level . Keep your dignity and class intact brother . Follow your heart
