The Biden administration is working on improving train infrastructure but if you look at the map of what they're adding, it's limited to a very small section of the country. I mean, it's like cross country but it's such a massive country that it's still super limited.

I wouldn't say no doubt. Some certainly would do that, others could have more integrity.

The actual AC issue aside, I feel that this is a good argument for some urban redevelopment to plant more area/climate appropriate trees. It would provide shade and provide some offset for the CO2 emissions. Getting shade between the sun and the buildings would help make the heat more tolerable and getting some shade over the roadways and parking lots would help decrease urban heat bubble effects.

Oh no please anything but starting questions with Lemmings of Lemmy!

So I went hiking by myself on an old abandoned logging road once and got a little bit up there, pretty far away from the main road. I hadn't noticed anything like bear poo but you have to always be on guard. Well eventually I got to a point where an animal didn't like me being up there and started huffing and snorting at me. I turned and left because whatever it was, it was not happy. I never saw the animal but given the location and the noises I'm pretty sure it was a moose, and you definitely don't want to get into it with an angry moose.

This both sides stuff is so disingenuous. One side is populated by centrists who generally want to mostly do the right thing, occasionally being cruddy because they're too conservative to do the hard things to improve the world. The other side is populated by white supremacist terrorists. That isn't the same.

Quick reminder that the GOP CD controlled supreme court destroyed student loan relief, not Biden. Let's but blame him for their actions.

The issue here is that your wife bought this thinking it's an ac when it's an evaporative cooler aka swamp cooler. They do work if you have low humidity. If you are in a humid area this definitely won't work. Since the unit is small it won't cool the entire room but she should feel nice and cool about 3 to 5 feet in front of it. She will need to make sure the wicking action is working to get the pads nice and wet, otherwise she will have to manually remove them to wet them.

Edit: I wanted to add that I have had a similar small unit before which is why I know that she needs to be 3 to 5 feet in front of it to hit the little target cool zone.

Bunnies. I know it sounds a little dumb but yep, bunnies.

Well gee whiz, I have this little doggy avatar picture thing that I got... somehow? I assume that's what you mean. I had no idea those were NFTs or that they were actually selling them. I just thought it was some stupid achievement I accidentally got.
