True on all accounts.
Also fun aside -- Evaporative coolers are sold under the name of "refrigerating fans" here, a sort of "alternative" for someone who can't afford an AC (or can afford the machine but wants/needs to save on the power bill).
The percentage is just a quirky way of saying it's a high chance, dw about it.
Not even central A/C here. Just Split units on the bedrooms/home office -- But it already makes life so much more bearable
I live in a tropical humid place that regularly gets 40+Celsius temps even during "winter" (it is currently "winter")
But I can afford air conditioning. A lot of people in my country cannot, and have just an electric fan and a lot of water to get them through the days.
Hey you're like seven steps ahead of me.
I only entered the phase of hating society instead of myself when I was like twenty-three.
Me too actually
Said like 80 times in this thread already but, Open Source & Free software (papa stallman will murder my family if I don't make the distinction)
Fifteen years ago when I first got into it, Linux was a programmer/sysadmin's OS that could cover one's web browsing needs and run some media players and retro console emulators.
Nowadays it is a reasonable daily driver for high-end gaming, it can cover 85% of the creative tasks I do for work, plus all the shit it did back then, all the while being faster, lighter, and comfier than windows.
There's good libre applications for pretty much everything I care about.
And now we even have open-source powered social media (hi we're in Lemmy)
Fuck, even if I'm this close to butlerian jihad thinking in regards to the whole concept, I'll give it up for the advancement of open source AI models. I might think the whole invention is poison, but better for it to be a public, shared, community built poison than one under the thumb of three megacorps.
If you are a teenager and you currently feel like you have failed at being a man/woman/heterosexual/whatever, then there is a 79.8% chance you are some form of LGBTQ. Stop beating yourself up and start exploring instead. You'll be happy you did.

Couldn't be me
I created two comms and I'm fairly sure I'm the only one who posts to them at all.
Allosexuals are weird.
