For detached houses, you can do split systems with multiple indoor units per one outdoor unit. In a flat, you're a bit more fucked because you might need permission from other people in the building, etc.

It's possible to protect against heatwaves on a city level. Increase the albedo value of the city by doing the following: Incentivize lighter colored roofing and walls, grow leafy trees for shade, cover parking lots with solar roofing (and add EV chargers). Basically do whatever possible to reduce the amount of asphalt and darkish materials in general, being hit by sunshine.

No it won't save your ass when ambient temperature is 50C, but considering that cities are by their very nature hotter than the ambient temperature out side of the city, these things would help reduce that gap.

Well naturally, that's what they teach you in manhood 101. Did you skip the class?

I think summer time is the superior timezone up here in Estonia. Look, the sunrise is already after 9 AM in December. Nobody's gonna be seeing the sun before work or school anyway. But sunset is around 3:30 PM. Schoolkids could get an extra hour of sun after school by being on summer time in the winter.

For the time period of the autumn clock shift, we get an 8:23 AM sunrise and a 5:45 PM sunset one day and then the next it's 7:26 AM and 4:42 PM. You suddenly go from it being light outside when you finish work, to it already being dark. Because of winter time.

In the spring, you suddenly get an hour of extra daylight after your work/school day. Who doesn't want that? All you lose is that sunrise goes from 5:55 AM to 6:52 AM. But sunset goes from 7 to 8 PM basically

This is even funnier to me because where I'm from, trains in cities aren't really a big thing, but trains BETWEEN cities very much are.

This map is outdated as the Lelle-Pärnu route isn't currently serviced, and missing some stops, but this is our railway map:

Tartu has 2 stations as far as I know, Tallinn has multiple, the other places the train stops are all small enough that only one station exists. Entire point of it is to get people into and out of the cities. In the cities we have buses and (only in Tallinn) trams, used to also have trolleys. But only the capital, Tallinn, is a place where you would take a train from one station to another within the city itself.

Most of these places are villages and small towns. The population of Puka is like 500. Orava is around 200.

Now we just need the Tartu-Viljandi-Pärnu route and maybe a Narva-Tartu route, as both would be used by a lot of students (Tartu is a university city), but unfortunately geography doesn't favour my idea, there's protected wetlands between Pärnu and Viljandi as well as between Tartu and Viljandi

If you ever need a new one, front loaders tend to fit more and I believe they're more efficient too. Plus if a top loader grenades itself, it might be a pain to get your laundry out if the drum doesn't move anymore. Front loaders are more expensive though.

Well that's the ambient temperature graph I think. Wonder how the CPU temperature is affected. Is it also just a 0.7C increase or maybe more?

Of course a large percentage of those German scientists were Jewish, weren't they?

Not for disabled people.

It's just limp dick size that changes but summer penis and cold shrinkage can definitely happen to a man.

Of course if you live far from the equator, you might also get summer horny to combat the winter SAD. I think this one is gender neutral, but might be helpful to have a lady chime in on this one.

Hey, I agree that Thanos was stupid as hell. If he really wanted to save the universe, as an all powerful god at the point where he's got all the infinity stones, he could've done something about reproduction rates, or resources being regeneratable... I just meant he's the only one I've been able to empathize with recently. There's so many villains who just want power for the sake of it, or to end the world. Thanos wanted to do what he thought would save the world. Was it stupid? Sure. But his goal was not.

The AI only needs to alert the doctor that something is off and should be tested for. It does not replace doctors, but augments them. It's actually a great use for AI, it's just not what we think of as AI in a post-LLM world. The medically useful AI is pattern recognition. LLMs may also help doctors if they need a starting point into researching something weird and obscure, but ChatGPT isn't being used for diagnosing patients, nor is anything any AI says the "final verdict". It's just a tool to improve early detection of disorders, or it might point someone towards an useful article or book.
