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.

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.

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.

It's all a matter of opinion but personally I don't like watching videos and don't care if I can post them. If that's what you're looking for in a platform this might not be the best one for you.

Ideologically, I find more fault in inviting meta to the playground than locking them out. They are the very definition of an evil corporation and no good can come of it.

I don't think threads actually has 30 million users. They have some paid shills, probably a lot of their own bots, some people who legit joined to see what it was about, and a bunch of Instagram users who had accounts created automatically. I'm not positive about the last point but if you can't delete threads without deleting Instagram then I'm sure they're going to leverage their Instagram userbase as much as possible here.

There is an anti meta pact. Encourage your instances to sign and follow through. https://fedipact.online/

As far as I could tell they haven't signed the anti meta pact so probably not.

My cat didn't get any love over on insert community name here. I hope you guys updoot me more than they did.

Yummy, glad to be using some rando's used soap. But on a more serious note as long as it's being done in a way that is sanitary and doesn't risk spreading any diseases then this is much better than producing all that waste.
