United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

To grab a random city in a toasty state over here in the US, Phoenix, Arizona's current high today is 116°F, or 46.6°C.
yeah but you have AC which is too technologically advanced for the third world country that is the united kingdom
I mean, retrofitting whole-house HVAC is a pain, but it's not hard to get a window unit.
We tend to want a 240V heavy appliance outlet for beefier window air conditioners, but you've already got that as standard on British household circuits.
EDIT: Hmm. This says that the British convention is swinging windows, which aren't as amenable to window units, and one should get a (slightly noisier and less efficient) portable unit instead of a window unit. But basically, same idea. I'd get a unit with dual hoses; doesn't cost much more, more efficient.
you'd have to make sure the house isn't leaking heat/cold like a sieve first otherwise you're wasting ungodly amounts of money
