Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.
  7. No support questions. See !techsupport@lemmy.world

My studio has been stuck at 32°C for the last two weeks. Today it's finally as hot inside than out. I haven't closed my windows in a month.

I am constantly searching for a mobile AC unit that is neither sold by scalpers (found a weaksauce one at the price of a fixed unit) nor delivered in 3 to 6 months.

(I am currently praying my ten years old desktop fan won't crap out: the plastic is now very brittle and it's pretty out of balance.)

So I mostly get by by being so lacking in restful sleep, I'm too out of it to notice the heat. Oh, and cold showers.
