Had the same wtf thinking how this is going down globally. Like America’s situation currently, totally get it. But, everyday it seems another government is pushing this regardless of the political spectrum that supposedly exists.

Really curious why I’m not seeing more articles about the individuals in legislation that are pushing this and what funding/lobbying they’re receiving. There has to be multiple common threads because politicians aren’t commonly “in the know” of current tech unless someones whispering a direction in their ear.

What no one is mentioning is that it highly depends on what type of system your pipes lead to. If you’re on a sewer system with newer pipes you’re ok with letting it fly dirty mostly. If you’re at an older house with cast-iron pipes and a septic system it’s best to wipe them off. I just use a spatula when I’m done eating and wipe it off into the trash. My systems a little different with a monster of a grease trap that I don’t want to have to get pumped again anytime soon so probably more picky about it than others.

Same kinda thing goes for garbage disposals, don’t put food down it if you’re on septic. Then again it all depends on amount of usage and if you mind paying to pump it sooner.

I dislike that a lot of the games are tied to needing to have the steam client open, also the steam client is a non-controllable aspect on my computer that I own. I can modify (with extensions and browsers) any experience I have online…except steam. I also don’t like “leasing” games as that’s all they do.

Last note is just I dislike putting any faith into a company to “do good” or to remain with their status quo. Companies are not “good”, they are a service provider and shouldn’t be anthropomorphized as such for being “good guys” or a company that "Cares"^tm. The very fact that people are defending it by being sticklers of true definitions of a “monopoly” but hand-wave away the affects it has on the industry makes me concerned it will only become a bigger problem later on.

If you have space outside, plant native trees/vines/bushes that will help shade the building from the sun if you’re getting direct sunlight. You can just do clippings from wild growing plants for free.

timing of the windows opening and closing is key. Also tracking temperature helps, just a crappy thermometer (one indoors and one outside not in sunlight) will let you know when it’s time to open or close up.

Concrete/bricks work both ways as a thermal mass, if you can get them cool and covered from the sun it will help cool your area (think of cold concrete floors, I have an inner brick wall that an extension was built out on and it stays coolish). Same with water, most have experienced a cold water pool/pond on a hot day, big blocks of frozen ice can do the trick if you stick to freezing at night.

Free stuff:

• No/less electronics during the day (tvs/chargers/computer), it all adds to the heat
• no cooking during day, cold cuts/food only till night
• Take a nap during the hottest part if possible, or just sleep in daytime and move about at night on off days (something about waking up after a nap makes it seem less overbearing)
• do maintenance on your fans, take them apart and clean/grease anything that needs it (will need to clean more often if you lubricate due to dust build up causing gunk)

Black-out curtains are great to stop light, but if it’s entering the window already it’s just heating up that one spot so you’re still technically getting the thermal radiation. For that fix you would want reflective window covers, even foil would technically help slapped to the window (it’s the only time those reflective insulation boards actually do anything with infrared). Foil with something behind it to insulate, like literally anything (cardboard wrapped in plastic to air seal can even do it), then you can take down your contraption at night to let air through to cool.

Insulating and air sealing. Alternatively, air flow in any spots building more heat than the outside temp (like an attic or upstairs area). If it’s a family owned place it’s easier, renting you might have to address concerns with landlord.

Currently temps in my area are getting about 95f(35c) daytime and 65f(18c) to 60f(15c) at night. I can usually get my house down to 68ish(20c) before the sun comes up. Windows in a bottom floor with fans pointing in, any windows upstairs with fans blowing out (hot air rises, it’s the same technique for american colonial/victorian houses with dormers emulating ancient style architecture for passive cooling). If it’s single story just be aware of wind direction if you’re using the fan method and point some in where the wind is blowing and pointing out at the opposite side. My house will at max hit about 80f(26c) but by then it’s time to open the windows because the sun has set.

At some point, once true-true summer hits, the nights will be about 80f(26c) and over 100f(38cish) during the day. At that point regulating your body and getting used to the temps is key and an A/C or sometype of ground thermal air flow is the only way you’re going to make anything cool. If you’re using A/C just seal the crap out of your windows with plastic and/or insulation (remember condensation like an ice cup though will cause moisture and mold/mildew growth on the exterior if not done properly). Pick a room that keeps the coldest and put whatever you can on the walls and windows (even a quilt on the walls will help insulate some). Seal up as much as possible and hide from the heat.

I will say I found plenty of pics of him seeming to enjoy himself when looking for the past ones I saw. The best one is probably this one

ironically it’s from a video about how they’re returning home though lol

couldn’t fit them all in the top comment

Every single shot or thumbnail I see of Victor Glover just looks like he’s tired of this shit and everything he’s putting up with.

manga without the art… like a book?

with temperatures that get so hot, they can literally pulverize a person’s bones.

is this a regional use of the word “pulverize” I’m not familiar with? Never heard it used when referring to incineration style damage.

This also holds true for things like breadsticks. Dip in marinara/pizza sauce first then garlic butter for the 2nd coating.

I’m just throwing this out into the ether because it’s been bugging me, I’m not at all thrilled or excited about this Artemis 2 launch. Everything I’ve heard or read about this mission is beyond stupidity and red flags galore. I hope everything goes smoothly and the astronauts stay safe but I’ve got so many bad feelings about how this is going down and it gives me “Challenger” X “Apollo 13” disaster vibes written all over it. This feels like nothing but a publicity stunt and if anything happens we will later hear about all the people behind the scenes who wanted to pump the breaks on this for so many reasons.

the rope should probably be measurably larger than a long ass if it’s going to be safe for use.

awesome link! going through to hopefully find what I need, probably going to pick up a few extra ones I see lol

It’s less of trying to do “days” and more just a 24 hour period of any given day. Syncing isn’t necessary as we can all just sit down for a few minutes on a singular device to get a gist of our needs and what our day is like. The calendars I’m used to usually are great for different events for different days but this is just more of a sleep, work, chores, etc in a day and what times they’re available. I’ll edit in some images in the upload to explain more what I’m looking for.

Subscribed! It’s funny because I’ve seen the startrek videos recommended to me but never looked into the channel before lol.

I was so confused when I saw a cross-post under the post I did. First time seeing how the fediverse automatically links up urls for cross-posts, very cool!

There was actually a prototype environmentally friendly airplane designed and tested back in 2000 during a genocide in Yorkshire that I feel like isn’t talked about enough. The plane, using bicycle technology, was successful in transporting all of the local populace to safe territory with the help of a veteran Royal Air Force member and an American entertainer posing as a flight specialist. Really an incredible story and there’s still footage of the flight. but I don’t know the status of the airplane today.

Could be a problem if you’re regularly taking stimulants in medication or drinks unfortunately.

I’m so glad this is slowly getting more solid traction. For more viewing and reading pleasures on the topic,
