Negative ion generator

Anyone have experience with negative ion generator?
Do you notice any difference? They have proven effect on air quality, but the health claims seem very subjective.

Commonly found in aircond and purifiers, I believe this is what is in the Proton X70 armrest.

Want to get one but good ones are expensive.

QUOTE

Research supports exposure to negative ions:
reducing symptoms of depression for some people
having an activating influence on some body systems and cognitive performance
promoting antimicrobial activity
Not enough evidence for:
reducing serotonin to help manage anxiety
lowering blood pressure
improving your breathing

How long before we go back to old normal?

Everyone is talking about the new normal of social distancing, awareness, lockdowns, no more bazaar, reduced travel, wfh, less mass gatherings etc.

When do you think things will go back to normal as it was before this pandemic?
Or will things be changed forever after this?

Is this virus good for humanity?

mrao — Sat, 11 Apr 2020 22:53:34 +0800

So far from what we see of this virus, death rates are high in 3rd world countries and places with bad planning and healthcare. Those who knowingly ignore end up paying with lives.
Suddenly we are forced to organize and protect ourselves or face death.

On the other hand, nobody wants the death of million people, particularly ourselves and family. We all kiasi want to live.

Izzit good that only the strong survive and we follow law of the jungle like mad max?

Fog Lamps

Why do people use them when there isn't any fog?
Do they not read their car manuals?
Is it purposely to annoy oncoming traffic?
Perhaps Malaysia too cold, need more sources of heat?
Or need to signal to UFO "Here I am!!!"?
Why?
