The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd and the bestsellers What If? and Thing Explainer For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally complex, excessive, and inadvisable that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole. Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and powering your house by destroying the fabric of space-time. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun. By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in What If?, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and fun illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.

Great filter
Style: HCC2146-X
My husband said this filter was high-quality, he was quite impressed. We’re not crazy about the washable kind normally, so we’ll have to see how it holds up.

Filter Fits Properly and is an Easy Install
Style: Particulate Media
Though not made for or by Honda, this filter is inexpensive and looks like it's capable of filtering the air coming into the passenger compartment of our 2012 Honda Fit. The primary difference between this unit and the original filter supplied by Honda is that the original unit has some "ribs" that help to keep the pleats separated attached to the top of the pleats. The item I received lacks that, but it appears to me that the pleats are strong enough on their own for the intended purpose. The filter fits into the frame as it should. Replacing this filter is incredibly easy and requires no tools: you empty the glove compartment, compress it's sides inward so that the rubber stops on either side clear the dash, allowing the glove compartment to drop out an extra 4-5 inches. Then, you can see and reach the cover for the cabin air filter, which is secured by latches on each side. Remove the cover and slide out the filter and frame. Replace the air filter element, which just sits in the frame, replace the frame and cover, and compress the glove compartment sides again to put it back in place. Put your stuff back in the glove compartment and you're done. In a few minutes you've saved significant dollars over the cost of having this done in the shop. Congratulations! The engine air filter is equally easy to replace in the Fit, though for that job I prefer to use a Honda OEM part.
Edit: I thought I should add a reminder to install the filter in such a way that the air flow indicator is the same as the one that you remove, i.e. do not put it in upside down. If I remember correctly, air flows from above to below in the Honda Fit. Also, currently, the price for this item is not competitive.

Easiest to install so far
Style: HEPA
So the 2018 Honda Odyssey apparently checks the air flow and after a certain point it determines the cabin air flow is less than desirable. At least this this is what I’ve gathered after talking to my dealer. Buying a thick filter may not be better.
This was the easiest filter to install. I didn’t have to gingerly coax it In without collapsing the filter. It fit easily and I didn’t have to cut it. Pro Tip: Write the date of install in case your dealership says “well cabin air flow is blah blah blah.” Just tell them to check the date. You should get 6-12months on a filter.
My dealership wanted to charge a ridiculous amount for what is literally a 2 minute job. Decent filters will cost around $20. Thicker isn’t better. It all depends on how much crap you have in your glove box. And how much crap is in your air. It might take longer to get all the receipts, first aid kits, tick prevention kits, headlights for the Scouts that forgets theirs, oh that there’s that Leatherman and Mylar blanket is…
The job entails emptying the glove box, who’s keeps gloves in these? Press the tabs to drop the box and then Voila there is the filter. It’s really that easy. Ok pull the cover off and pull the old filter. Unless you live in a really dusty environment or have squirrels that are destined to ruin your life there shouldn’t be any real mess . Pull it out and put this in. There’s air flow arrows but even if you did it backwards the van isn’t going to explode in a ball of flame, fueled by the forgotten Cheerios under the seat.
Relax, you did it. The world still turns and you’re good to go. Now it’s time to think about the engine air filter. You can do it. It’s easy but the clips can be a pain so it’s better to grab an adult beverage before, just in case.

Great Product
Style: HEPA
This product is a fantastic find! It's reasonably priced, making it accessible for most budgets without compromising on quality. The product is exactly as described, and its usefulness cannot be overstated. I've found it to be incredibly practical and efficient in meeting my needs. The attention to detail is impressive, and the performance is on par with more expensive alternatives. If you're looking for something reliable, well-made, and at a fair price point, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Works as intended but lowers airflow
Style: HEPA
I got this because of the wildfire smoke in my area. It definitely filters out smell compared to a regular filter so I'm assuming it's also filtering out larger particles in the air.
However, I've noticed that the airflow is reduced by a lot and the car is a lot warmer on the same setting I've used for years.
It's a trade off and I might just rotate filters depending on AQI and how hot it is since it takes like a minute to change it out.
I would recommend it if you live in an area that's smoky or cooler but not in places that get hot.
