Heavy on the sauce

I wish I could have some installed, but alas, I live in an apartment building on a high floor, and I don’t get to make the call.

First line of defense: blocking out sunlight in all windows during the day

Second line of defense: highly active drafting, creating a cross-breeze when the outdoor temperature is lower than the indoor temperature

Third line of defense: Fan, reduces perceived temperature significantly

Fourth line of defense: Acclimatization, warm showers before bed (supposedly helps)

Fifth line of defense, in case everything else fails - basically a heatwave: portable AC

Cellulose is generally recyclable but as I understand it degrades through each cycle, until it’s basically unfit for recycling and is more efficient to burn for energy.

By the power of podcasts, I have become equipped to handle the Sisyphean daily tasks. I used to dread them, now I don’t mind them at all.

A few not yet mentioned:

• Well There’s Your Problem - a podcast about engineering disasters
• Hard Fork - a weekly tech news show, with banter similar to what you could find on Reply All before that was ended
• The War on Cars - an urbanism-podcast
• The Urbanist Agenda - another urbanism-podcast, by the creator behind Not Just Bikes
• The Climate Denier’s Playbook - a climate-podcast
• Hyperfixed - by one of the hosts of Reply All

And a vote for previously mentioned podcasts:

• 99% Invisible - a podcast about design, arguably my favourite
• Darknet Diaries - a podcast about cybersecurity

Well, it’s obviously not going to be the iPad that wins in that case

If there was a real demand for big pockets, there would be money to make in selling those, and big pocket brands would dominate.

I think you might be giving a bit too much credit to the industry here.

There used to be pockets on women’s clothes - or more accurately, you tied them on yourself as they came separately from the clothes - but they fell out of fashion as handbags became the fashion statement that said: look - I’m not poor enough to have to have pockets.

Very dumb, but it is what it is.

What baffles me now is that pockets on women’s clothes haven’t made a comeback yet. How asleep at the wheel are fashion designers?

Depends on what kind of generation of MacBook that is. Intel-series? I’m leaning ThinkPad. M-series? It’s gonna have to be the MacBook.

NOW WITH FLAVOR!

3.2 is like less than 10 minutes on a bike, which can easily carry more than a week’s worth of groceries with the right type of equipment.

Right, right. It’s been long enough since I played guitar that I forgot that it’s actually the fingers on the non-strumming hand that takes the major punishment, not the strumming one.

Ah yeah, that’s where the complete ignorance came into play

Coming from a point of complete ignorance - couldn’t you use a guitar pick instead?

Fwiw, I think Android is starting to get to a good place now with Kotlin, Compose and the MVVM-architecture.

The old days were completely wild though

Summit. It’s the best

Adding a few I haven’t already seen:

• https://www.youtube.com/@NeverKnowsBest - very long form videos on video games
• https://www.youtube.com/c/SummoningSalt - documentaries on speedrunning in various games

Jenny’s last 4 hour video went more than viral, to be fair.
