Blast wave or force cube launched from just out of line of sight from the trap would work.

Or a seed of swiftwhistle as the other poster mentioned.

Edit: or Stone of Flock

Yes... -ish. Hurricanes are, in effect, a big heat engine that helps to distribute heat towards the poles from the equator. It is one of Nature's more efficient heat transfer mechanisms, among natural systems.

Hurricanes both draw heat from the ocean surface and the atmospheric boundary layer, and eject it into the upper air through convection and the latent heat released through condensation at the expense of warming the upper-mid layers of the atmosphere.. The surface level winds mix the sea surface waters into deeper layers, cooling the surface at the expense of warming the uppermost marine layers.

You don't, however, get anything for free. On a global scale the heat doesn't so much dissipate as it does just redistribute. The heat is all still there, it's just less concentrated in the equatorial surface-level atmospheric and marine layers by being distributed into upper atmospheric layers, deeper marine layers, and higher latitudes. The average temperature integrated across the entire volume of affected regions might be net lower, but not by enough to matter, and the system is still overall warmer than its long term average.

I have no specific basis to say so, but I distrust browser-based password managers on the principles of separation of function and mitigating risk. Strong my credentials in a browser just feels hinky, even with a master password. Too obvious of an attack vector. Rather, I use the KeepassDX variant with its MagicKeyboard feature. When I'm presented with a login prompt, I can use the keyboard switcher to launch KeepassDX, unlock my vault, and select the credentials entry. Then I can switch back to the browser (or app) and have MagicKeyboard enter the credentials for me.

It's a few more taps than just that, but it's a straightforward workflow that should mitigate leakage from my usual keyboard, clipboard snooping, and any hypothetical attacks against the in-browser vault workflow.

Plus, I know where my credentials are stored, can apply 2FA, and even back up the vault file to offline archives.

It works for me. "Cool story bro," I guess, is my point.

In the eye of our creators, we are all donuts.

Probably all of them, at one time or another.
