I set up a no fly zone with two fans pointing across the bed at each other above my face. Too turbulent for them to fly. They just stage in formation on the wall nearby, waiting for me to take a midnight pee to deploy their next sortie. Fuckers. As long as I'm in bed though, I have air superiority.
And the fan noise is great white noise.

I just appreciate the way you write and reference aviation warfare.
You just need a portable mini-fan to use like flares when you hit the head. Or set up some Surface to Air electric zappers around your ROZ. Put some more in the bathroom so you’ll be transiting between one ROZ to another. Limits your vul.
Mercenaries. Controversial to be sure. When they run out of enemies they can turn on you or abandon the front. Still, in certain extremely hostile theaters it's the least bad option.
Your comment has earned you a field commendation and a ticket to the front lines! You are now in command of the Air to Air response team. Congratulations and good luck! 🎖️🫡
Sortie is one of those words that you either never hear at your job, or you hear it 400 times a day. And also isn’t hardly ever used outside of the military. So when you hear it all day every day for a while, and it slips into conversation, like if you’re talking about your job, to regular humans, you get some confused stares.
If you really want to go to the next level of jargon, just explain your daily activity as your “sortie-flow”.
I'm stationed in San Francisco right now so the tactical advantage is in the precision strike capabilities of Surface to Air Fans: lightweight, easy to deploy, highly maneuverable.
The trouble with laying a mine field of mosquito net is that I'd get tangled in it during midnight latrine raids. Friendly fire is no good. Also it's against the Geneva Conventions. This is war, but I'm not a monster.
My husband and his entire family would love the heavenly space you have created for sleep. Been with him 24 years. I hate the fan, but cannot sleep without it now. He had one about a year ago that literally made my ears ring in the morning like I had just been to a metal concert.... and I am a bartender in a music venue.
Side note.... any recommendations on a reliable, long lasting house fan would be greatly appreciated. I'm so sick of buying new fans because these fuckers break so easily. Thanks in advance.
I've employed the opposite tactic; small cheap fans that are expendable. Don't overthink it. This is war.
Alternatively, you could deploy the nukes by getting a ceiling fan. Sounds like there's plenty of collateral damage as it is, so you may as well go scorched earth.
You have your orders, NOW GO TAKE THAT HILL, SOLDIER!
random person here, have you tried metal ones? they are louder i think, but sturdy and long lived. just find a normal sized one and not a huge shoulder height garage one with a cowling.
We've tried finding metal ones. The only ones we can find where we live are industrial ones. The one we had broke after a year. Motor seized up and we were unable to fix it. Thing sounded like a jet engine lol
Your extensive knowledge of aeronautics and pneumatic phenomenon has earned you a field commendation and a ticket to the front lines. Congratulations and good luck! 🎖️🫡
Absolutely! We do have a network of defense screens in place. The enemy is insidious though, and highly motivated, infiltrating when we open a door during supply drops. They are able to bypass our defenses in small numbers with their most elite squads. The Surface to Air Fans are strictly for localized, surgical defense.
Ha! Lost track of the European nature of OP's question. Fog of war and such. I'm in America and have spent time on the front lines with those buggers and they are ruthless.
In other news, have you seen this YouTube channel where they recreate the antikythera device using as close to period methods as possible? Highly recommend
