It might be easier near the coast, but opening up windows during times of day where you can catch a breeze might help with the heat the house soaks up. Insect netting on windows may make this a more tolerable option.

Beyond this, the high ceilings in older style homes seemed to make things feel cooler, but I can’t really confirm that. A lot of design aspects of older homes were meant to deal with heat, so it might not be trendy but works. I’ve seen one place with a sizeable indoor pond/pool in the middle of the ground floor, supposedly inspired by courtyard transpiration. The guy was an odd engineer… no idea about longevity but it did stay cool in that place.

Plants to cut down on sunlight while giving you something nice to look at seems good. Maybe planters for vegetables etc on a flat roof if it’s possible.

Maybe it would rock

In the first place I think a better way to establish “is life in this given place good”, would be to address to good vs bad in that place, as opposed to the good in that place vs the bad everywhere else.

If you must make the point through comparisons, using the weakest possible arguments while standing in for the opposing side makes it seem you’ve either want to misrepresent it, or don’t feel secure enough in your position.

I could get into the factual claims that could be challenged but maybe that was the AI. There’s absolutely an argument that Western media and cultures create intense, xenophobic biases, but there are more compelling ways to make it.

Using a one-sided narrative to counter a one-sided narrative comes off as disingenuous to me. Despite Marx’s urging, the US turns out to be the place where a worker can strike with his union and own a gun.

The reports all bear notes of caution about the summaries being possibly uncorroborated, single-sourced or incomplete. CSIS Director David Vigneault told the public inquiry that intelligence is not necessarily fact and it may require further investigation.

Actual facts on election interference are, hard to come by, but conjecture from unidentified interests isn’t good enough. Blindly trusting intelligence agencies without proof is how you end up invading Iraq.

The “critic” in question was a supporter and fundraiser for the Khalistani rebel movement, on and off no fly lists and wanted by Interpol. Arms training programs in the BC interior seemed to have spooked Modi into action, can’t imagine why after the Air India bombing and the trial the RCMP fumbled. Most Canadians are content to forget the event after all.

It’s hardly the same situation, given that one country is trying to annex Canada and the other isn’t.

These guys aren’t the Stronachs, Westons, Irvings or Sobeys pumping money into parties, who the leaders have to know. I’m not going to put it past PP to not remember the name of a brown person who he didn’t meet for breakfast either.

The report found that a handful of people donated about $10,000 of their own money. No one broke the law. What’s the issue here, exactly?

I’ve gone through this and nothing was actually illegal or questionable. I’m not really sure what the contention is.

Is this not just…termux?

he looks very determined

CRTC: no, don’t use the lube

Say “McDonald’s!” to continue ride

Making the same joke about the senator will result in the FBI breaking down your door. Funny how that works.

I hope he enjoyed the game

Hypothetically what if the actual counties and states in question didn’t elect governors, senators, and a president that was Republican, because in reality they did? Hypothetically? What if?

He’ll toss them a few subsidies like last time and secure their vote for the third term.

That’s the plan they voted for. They deserve what they get.
