I just don't go outside. AC running throughout the day, though I do set max temps at different levels throughout the day to take advantage of lower electricity rates or avoid higher rates.
This past week I did have to do some rare outdoors work for work over a few days. My team elected to do it in the evenings and early in the mornings. Was still quite warm, but not sun glaring down on us, we're gonna get heat stroke from this, afternoon sun.
Not the greatest solution, but... living in a place where it's mostly been raining for the last 7-8 weeks makes it easy to cool down.
I'd love to write something about A/C and going for a swim/dive instead, like last year. Maybe in July?
To be honest seeing the logo where it appears small on the desktop site, I thought it was a top down view of a Bee with the hat being the head colour and the two eyes just being spots.
That logo looks cool like the little CowBee is saying this hive ain't big enough for the both of us. Though they would communicate it through dancing with that as the subtitles.
Some northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.
Not bad - chuffed to bits that my daughter got a 'First with honours' in English and Creative Writing. No idea what that means* apart from it's an excellent result.
*I left school at 15, before taking all my exams so that I could start work in a factory. So very proud of her ;-) Her substack is here
Suspect your daughter may be downplaying things a bit here...
She got the top result possible. Students who achieve First with honours (sometimes written as 1:1) have to be even better than excellent across their entire degree.
Some years nobody on a particular course will do this well, because it is reserved for the exceptional.
Honestly one of the quickest ways I've found to cool down is to run my wrists under cold water.
And for my dog, wet t-shirts and wet towels tucked under his groin and armpits. I wish he was a water dog (we've tried wading pools, sprinklers etc) but he's not so other than forcing him to drink enough water, I've found he'll tolerate the wet items on him.
I have a pair of cheap UV protection sunsleeves that I've cut to just cover my wrists-forearms that I wet with a spray bottle when it's crazy hot. Works incredibly well.
It's AC now, but in the desperate beforetimes it was getting into a shower at the temperature of my skin, then getting out and not drying off to allow for further evaporative cooling(Thank god its not humid where I live)
Lots of water breaks (not cold, but below ambient temps), cold compresses, sheltering under trees, cool showers, avoiding physical contact from the dog and cat
Idk. I was feeling very bad recently but some great people helped me a lot so now I feel better but idk if this improvement will last for more than a few days (usually it doesn't). I'm really depressed because of the state of the society
Keep spending time with these people! In some ways the state of society certainly does suck, but finding our people who go against that grain has the potential to make things better. At the very least, we can make some things better in the small ways we can, and that's still something important.
I agree but seeing 2/3 or even more people act not good and everything getting worse every year has a stronger impact on me than seeing and interacting with great people. I guess it's a pretty uncommon thing. I also have personal issues that are really serious and I can't even talk about it because it's very intimate. And smh every time I say I feel better, I feel worse again in a few hours. Very supernatural looking this one.
In-game photography. It's something that doesn't seem covered on Lemmy yet. But Linux works too. Hope to see you posting that fastfetch with an Arch logo soon
