Ya, need a good pair of gargoyles obviously
But that’s what I’m saying - there’s no real visual change, even though there has been decades to do so. Its not my fault they don’t innovate, lol.
I mean same can be said for all Bugattis between the Veyron and the Chiron. Only with the Mistral and Tourbillon did they finally up with a brand new ugly design heavily inspired by... Their own old design.
IMO Ferrari does the same within their lineups (so the successor of an existing car looks fairly similar to the outgoing car), but they at least have differing models at the same time... And their cars are beautiful.
Personally I can survive the extra heat in the daytime, when it's the hottest. It's trying to get any sleep in tropical weather in my actual house that's becoming a bigger issue these days. I'm assuming that by going from the 3.5C max to 5-6C max would also raise the average from 0.6 to 1.0 hopefully.
My problems are as follows:
First off, with thick as hell walls and now for the last few years triple glazing instead of the original leaky two panes separated by an air gap, the heat just doesn't want to escape. I live in an area where it also gets really cold in the winter. Winter of 23/24, I stayed up till 3 AM heating the furnace, woke up 8-9 AM to put a new batch of logs and briquettes in as the fire hadn't completely died yet by morning. I actually kept the fire going for 2-3 weeks. Normally it's been 1-2 fires per day and they die out in between. So that's why the house needs to have as good insulation as possible.
Now the insulation is great at the beginning of the summer, when the walls are still cold. Doesn't get too hot indoors, cools down nicely at night. It just sucks later in the summer when everything is already warm.
Secondly, it used to be that you'd consistently get <20C at night so you just open up the windows and things cool down and you finally get some fresh air in the house. Last week or so, I've had to keep the windows closed at night because the air outside is actually hotter at night too.
Thirdly, the bedrooms, which unfortunately are on the top floor (yay convection - helpful in the winter, makes you pull your hair out in the summer), have blackout roller curtains because, and I'm not making this up, there's only 4-5 hours of dark in the summer here. It's going to be light outside by 3 AM today and it's not even midsummer day. So even if it IS colder than 20C outside, you can't actually get air in through these windows, because then it's too bright to sleep. There's no ventilation either. My grandpa built this house in the soviet era. Ventilation was always "eh the windows leak enough, and we can open them if needed". It's not a McMansion, it's the only place I can live rent-free and just happens to have multiple small half-floors, which makes convection heat up the upper half-floor..
Fourth, between all the stress I have and my already bad eating habits, I've gotten overweight which makes me hate heat more, and developed sleep apnea, which means I constantly feel like I'm suffocating when going to sleep. I fucking hate life.
I'm honestly just venting because I hate heat. I also hate climate change, but climate change is making it so that I have to turn on the heat pump in cooling mode and sleep on the couch. Which means I'm contributing to further climate change with the energy use.
The real long term solution is to get rid of the dark concrete walls and replace them with something that reflects more of the heat away, then add some sort of external blinds, and finally, a proper ventilation system. Unfortunately, I don't have money for that this year and even when I will, I'll have to do the roof first, as it's leaking.
Probably. Sounds like actual effort to install as opposed to some tin foil taped to the windows though
Well, disadvantage of only barely affecting temperatures though. 3.5C max, 0.6 average is not nothing, but for me at least, part of the problem is the fact that if I don't run AC, the temperatures just keep on climbing indoors. The 5-6C drop of tinfoil sounds more useful, but then they didn't really mention what the average drop is.
Granted, I realize most people would rather get light through their windows. But personally in bedrooms I'd rather take 0 light as otherwise you only really get 3-4 hours of dark per day in the summer. For other rooms - maybe some of those heat-reflective films? 3M claims theirs manages reduce heating by quite a lot, but probably not as much as foil.
Think it was three dudes on separate occasions within a week or 2 but I like your version more
If it gets confirmed, we could call this scandal Watergate.
What if I'm doing bifurcated sleep but still eat 2 or 3 meals?
Too early if I'm left to my own devices. Which nowadays is only if I have someone to babysit, otherwise my baby will climb over from her bed to mine and plant her full diaper in my face between 7 and 11:30 depending on her mood
Us night owls generally know others are sleeping at night so most of us are quiet. Morning people though? Fuck morning people. My ex would wake me up at 11 in the morning saying I can't sleep all day. removed I went to sleep at 9 after working all night to feed your spending habits. It's been two hours, at least give me a third hour before you wake me up.
Well assuming half the people pirated it and half bought it, that's still under 10% of the population of the world. Also Minecraft items having labels is a fairly new thing. There were no labels when I did most of my playing, but there were when I last played. I think they added them in Beta so about 2010, 2011?
Diesel doesn't even burn that well on its own. For it to do anything, you must've already had a pretty decent fire going without it.
I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as you, but I do have an actual furnace for heating in the winter, so I have some experience. I can also vouch for structural stability being a hindrance: If I build it too well, there are usually logs or bricks that don't catch fire until a long time later.
And in case someone doesn't: You don't need to take the entire bark off the wood. Just the outermost layers. So you can even take some from a live tree without worries in a pinch.
And if you have no idea what birch looks like, it's the white barked one.
Oh yeah I wasn't really confused, I just meant to make the point that simulation theory != Matrix. Matrix is A simulation, but simulation theory doesn't necessitate that we all have real bodies in a "real world". In fact, I think the matrix version of the simulation is less likely, as it would be more complex to achieve, at least in our reality. In simulation theory, if the simulation stops and is deleted, there may well be literally nothing left of us. That's not a trans allegory, that's an existential crisis
Oh yeah I forgot the whole pill thing, I only focused on the actual transition of his being.
This makes all those "redpilled" right wingers even funnier lmao
Also mentions tin foil being more effective so why ever bother with the smelly yogurt?
I know that The Matrix is a trans allegory but simulation theory isn't necessarily the same as being imprisoned in a simulation. It means we might not exist at all. Simulation goes away, we go away. Or maybe it's like The Matrix and we're all trans eggs. There's no way to know which version it is or how many people are real vs simulated.
Simulation theory doesn't equal The Matrix.
I mean they've only had 3 models over the last 26 years. Everything else is a special edition of an existing model.
The looks aren't my cup of tea either these days. I loved the Zonda F as a teen, but these days I'd rather have a Mercedes V12 in a... Mercedes.
