When you're in an area that's been brutally hot for decades/centuries, the architecture is built accordingly. When you're in an area where the architecture is designed for being cold and damp, the buildings are likely to be cruel in heat. See also all the deaths in Chicago during heat waves.

Not to mention your body gets used to the temperature. Ive done a bunch of parades like that and even when youre climatized, throwing on 10 pounds of heavy fabric that doesnt breathe and being expected to stand perfectly still its real poo poo. If you lock your knees during a parade, youre going to faint, otherwise, it downgrades to a you can faint.

If an englishman understood the Fahrenheit scale he would die instantly, that's why they have to disguise "hot" as low temps.

That sounds right because I live in a big brick rowhome that's lower level inside temperature stays pretty much the same all summer, topping out at like 82° with no AC and I think the vertical part of the house helps funnel air upwards and out the skylight vents. I'm guessing colder climate buildings would just trap all that heat somehow rather than venting it? A huge building would also have to be increasingly hellish inside the higher up you go

In fairness that does not suggest the british are able to deal with it either. Such as how people still dress like that. Mauser posted:ok how hot does it actually get in the UK?

That's really the best weather for sitting outside in the shade and drinking a beer though Last year I think we got up to 40C in some places for a while. And yeah there is zero provision for dealing with it, everything is built to keep the cold and rain out and the heat in. Also the housing stock is garbage so there is often abysmal ventilation.

I know it’s (rightly) unfashionable to give Musk any credit, but isn’t his premise essentially right here? Before long not only is the internet going to be majority AI-generated content, but we won’t have a reliable method to determine the provenance of that content. The internet is on a fast track to become much shittier than it already is. That said, I don’t endorse the idea that the best way to solve that issue is to require payment. In fact that’s probably one of the shittiest solutions.

Power goes out in Florida in July/August all the time. It’s called hurricane season. All the retirement homes/hospitals typically have generators or get bussed to places with AC. But the average people without generators just suffer through it. Lots of folks grilling out all the rapidly thawing poo poo in their freezers and drinking beer and getting sunburnt on the 100 degree heat.

It's fun to make fun of heat waves of 85 degrees F but there's such a thing as heat acclimatization which means sudden heat waves are deadly whether your baseline is 70 or 90, but it requires being sudden.

I wish this was a good idea but it isn’t. See the chicken’s head poking straight through the bars no problem? That isn’t exactly safe from predators, which seems to be the only selling point they were going for, because why else would you need this. Also the chooks wouldn’t be able to scratch correctly, which they need to do, and I fear they could snag a claw in the cage and get it stuck. As a matter of fact the recommended covering for chicken runs is not chicken wire, which has much smaller openings than this ball, because predators like raccoons can tear your birds apart piece by piece to pull them through chicken wire holes. I have ½” hardware cloth on my chicken run and it is buried in. The only animals that can get in are bugs, and then I free range them when I’m outside with them for safety. I have never had one taken by a predator, but I did once catch a chicken hawk (specifically a Cooper’s hawk) with my bare hands
