Your feet and head are both very vascular, so cooling them will help lots to cool the rest of you.

Head -

Ever been buzzed or bald before? If no, now could be the time to give it a shot. Worse case scenario, you look like shit and let it grow back to whatever’s the shortest length that looks decent. Bonus: you’ll save a ton of time and money on hair cuts/care.

Keep a container of water water and washcloths in your fridge. Take a cloth out when it’s time to veg on the couch, and slap it on your noggin. When it dries, grab a new one. *recommend not throwing used ones back in the water w/o washing first, or your water will get nasty fast.

• If you decide to go buzzed and have never done it before, PROTECT YOUR NOGGIN/SCALP FROM THE SUN. Burns up there hurt like a mofo.

Feet -

This is trading heat discomfort for wet sock discomfort; but if that’s a fair trade, then… yeah, wet your socks with cold water. A tub a cold water at the base of your couch can give you something to dip in while you’re watching TV or something. Same spiel as the wash cloths - keep your socks/water/tub clean and don’t reuse without washing first, or you’ll get yourself trenchfoot or some nastiness.

Also, if you’re in an apartment that disallows window units… they fit great in a fireplace, and the hot air just vents up the chimney. Your lease likely doesn’t say anything about fireplace units. Just sayin’. Just make sure to seal the edges really well so hot air doesn’t leak back into your living space.

We need an IRL batman. Or some Boondock Saints.

They didn’t just mess up, it was straight up false advertising. It was even found to be such in court in a few chunks of Europe iirc.

But no, it was very much intentionally deceptive, and that’s why people were rightfully pissed off.

They HAVE put a ton of effort into making things right since release, which surprised me - my guess was they were gonna laugh all the way to the bank, dissolve their company and rebrand, and never push a single update for it. They seem to actually want to make the thing they promised, so credit where it’s due, but the initial uproar was proportional to their crime.

I don’t think I’m capable of articulating just how fucked up it is that that level of nuance is even possible, let alone backed up with recent examples.

Surgical tech here!

We do these (breast reduction surgeries on men) every now and then. Not super often… I’ve been in maybe 10 of them? Of the ones I’ve been in, one was a dude with breast cancer - chopped out the cancer, then chopped down the other moob so they’d heal to be the same size. All of the other ones were gym rats who took steroids and grew some boobs. None were overweight.

I’ve only been in a handful, so grain of salt, but in my experience weight is NOT a factor.

…and this seems like a good time for a plug: Men can 100% get breast cancer. Not often, but possible. If any of you fellas feel a weird lump in your moobs, DO NOT hesitate to get it checked out!!

I was wondering which restaurants this guy was able to eat his wife out at.

Waffle House, ofc.

Ate out with the wife tonight, and got an unexpected political back-to-back: the restaurant had CNN playing on one end of my field of view, and Fox on the other.

CNN reported on all kinds of shit. Every time I looked up, different topic. They went back to the upcoming debate and the Gaza genocide a couple times, but otherwise just an even spread of unfolding events.

Fox spent most of the time talking about how left wing media will spin the debate to make Trump look like an extremist; and then a few small snips about how illegal immigrants are terrorizing our society and getting our youth hooked on fentanyl. They even managed to bitch about Hillary lol, although I missed the context… assuming they’re still rambling about emails.

People who watch Fox must be terrified and angry like all the time lol.

Absolutely, but it’s a lot better than whatever the hell we’re doing now. And it can happen fast - biggest holdup would be the sudden change in supply/staffing demands at relatively few facilities, but the VA can limp along while doing its best until those needs are met.

This is speaking as a veteran who receives care at the VA - if there’s one thing they can do well, it’s juggling a clusterfuck while still somehow remaining operational.

Well… there is a federal path to handling state level health care crises.

Two magical ingredients.

First is to actually declare a state of emergency in the Y’all Qaeda infested regions of the US on the basis of denied healthcare leading to the current and worsening humanitarian crisis in those areas; and in doing so, enabling the VA to provide abortion services to non-veterans under section §1784 of title 38, United States Code.

Second is federal enclave, which pretty much states that on federal facilities, state law can eat a bag of dicks.

This dystopian GOP shit is maddening. We need to stop trying to argue with it, and start finding ways to just work around it. Fuck em.

…mistook?

I wouldn’t complain about this becoming an annual tradition.

I used to live in an apartment that also explicitly disallowed window units. The apartment did have a fireplace though, and I figured hot air rises, so we just shoved a window unit in there and let the hot air vent out the chimney.

It did the trick, and we never agreed not to install a fireplace unit.

Any you recommend? I tried this during during the first round of YouTube fuckiness on Firefox, and it didn’t seem to make a difference.

I’m also probably the least techy person on Lemmy, so chances are high that I fucked something up.

I recognize a handful just in this thread.

Hi familiar names!

Kalm down, doc.

I’d guess it pretty closely follows the development of concepts that put words to spacial dimensions - 2 points make a line, 2 lines make a plane, multiple planes establish a volume, etc

If you think of time as a line and follow the same logic as spacial dimensions, you have the ‘line’ that represents reality as you’ve experienced it, but every event that has more than one potential outcome branches out from that point the same way the axes that make up length, width, and depth branch from one point. Instead of a 3-D space, we have… well, the multi-worlds theory.

You beat me to it, but HELL YES!

It’s like gambling except it’s considered classy instead of trashy.
