Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Third extended heat wave within 6 weeks.

The previous one exceeded 40°C, and the buildings not yet had time to completely cool down from that one before the third wave hit.

I was considering putting up a tent in my garden myself, but as I own a ground floor flat, the indoor temperatures did, with the help of some additional cooling measures, thankfully not exceeded 27°C.

You might want to try a sleeping mask

I just woke up. I'm not even up. My body just woke up to go poop, then it's back to bed.

I read "sleeping mask", but my brain interpreted that, and imagined a gas mask. Filling the inside of the mask with sleeping gas.

I doubt that helps much when the sun shines directly on my face. I'm more worried about the heat than the light.
